I don't think TikTok community is compatible with the idea of fediverse

TikTok exists to give you large floods of endorphins via either an algorithm trained to your interests or by giving you big numbers. And this is not exclusive to TikTok, this is just how modern "social" media works, it's the sole reason why bluesky succeeded more than mastodon

Modern social media is mostly a hive mind of people affirming each other driven by algorithms. Fediverse on the other hand, always boils down to a old fashioned usenet style network made just so people can talk with each other. You can't really get addicted to fedi

I wasn't really alive during the wild west internet (im 19). I got into the net during the transition from forums to modern social media and reddit was my first social. I tried getting into facebook and instagram because everyone else was there but I just didn't like it much.

I don't know why but "the algorithm" is really boring for me. I only tried algorithm driven feeds on reddit (after u/spez) and on tumblr but the recommendations were always extremely "fake". Other sorting methods like "new" or "by most active" just feel more like as if there was someone on the other side of the keyboard

Just like drug addicts, these people are addicted to dopamine and they will do anything to get it even if it makes everyone else uncomfortable

I think TikTok format video players are straight up drugs. It's a real physical addiction which even has withdrawal symptoms

They are so appealing, I do avoid them but it's just sad to watch everyone else become a victim of those

ChatGPT keeps mixing up software versions which is understandable considering the similarities between versions and the way gen AI works

I asked for help on GTK 4 once and responses were a mix of GTK 4 and 3 code. Some of them even contained function names which didn't exist in any version of GTK

My 8 year old lovebird died a few days ago.

His name was sherbet but the nicknames include: chicken, rodent, animal, (the) bird, birdhead, mango, weirdo... And because of that, now everything reminds me of her

I held his body in my hand cried for hours. We went to gradma's yard with my brother to burry him, I broke down crying while digging so my little brother finished it for me.

Our home is just too silent without him, I miss him so much

Hi. I am currently using google drive mounted with rsync (encrypted) to stream files over my VPS since my VPS provider charges a lot for extra storage compared to google. I have offline backups of the said data at home

I currently have a 100GB google drive plan and it's working suprisingly great. Also it's cheap in my country due to regional pricing

Now, as I learned, Google keeps your files for 2 years after you cancel your extra storage subscription. It also doesn't allow you to upload anything which locks up Gmail but that doesn't matter if it's an alt account. So, can I just create an alt account, buy a 1 month subscription, upload everything, cancel it, then read it using rclone? Does Google restrict api access (for rclone) on drives with expired subscriptions?

Yeah I know I'm stretching this a bit too far but I just wanna know

Actually, I found archiveteam's reddit dump. I think we can re-host this on activitypub, as a form of read-only, easy to browse archive.

The data is on archive.org is marked non-downloadable to limit traffic. I emailed archive.org requesting one of the 10GB pieces to experiment with. Fingers crossed

I hate the fact that reddit has so much valuable data in it, like thousands of extremely niche subreddits and answers to your questions.

I wish someone could just mirror it all

Hi there. My guide is currently hosted at survival.aesistril.com. I wrote some stuff but it's really hard to write every guide by myself.

My goal is to create a easy to follow guides for the average joe and compile every other guide into one web page. I want to be able to link this whenever a relative or a friend asks me how to get rid of x

Name and URL suggestions (under .aesistril.com subdomain) are welcome. I am currently using open source hardware icon because it looks cool

I am using the CGA color palette and I would appreciate if you don't use any other colors. Not a strict restriction though

Source code is here on GitHub. Pull requests, markdown guides, docx, txt, every type of contribution or constructive criticism is appreciated

Maybe this could be a positive thing for newbies since now mastodon instances can federate with Tumblr and Threads to become more viable

Or could it bring destruction? Just like what happened with XMPP and OpenID

Trains are awesome trains are beautiful trains trains trains❤️🚂🚋❤️❤️🚆❤️🚊. I get a throbbing erection just by seeing a tram. Imagine riding a metro oh god my horny ass would instantly cum the moment I step into the station. When I go home I play a Adam Something video about why c🤢rs (🤢🤮) suck ass and TRAAINS (❤️🚂❤️❤️🚂) are AWESOME and I masturbate to it for hours edging harder every time I see numbers of passengers trains can handle. How can a human being can know that trains are 989769379785% more efficient than c*rs and not instantly cum

Imagine being a train (❤️🚂🚋❤️❤️🚆🚇🚈🚊❤️) conductor 🥺😳🥺🥺. Sound of the train as you push the throttle handle filling your ears like the sound of a whore begging for you to go faster 😩💦💦. Pushing the throttle gently as you whisper dirty things to its microphone ❤️❤️❤️❤️ TRAIN TRAINS ARE AWESOME LIKE TRAIN TRAINS TRAINS

There are more general conversation posts than shitposts in !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.ml If you wanna discuss about something just post it on the appropriate discussion community, not in !memes@lemmy.ml

Half of the """fun""" stuff is extremely depressing. Can someone explain to me how an overused meme about "Big corporations are destroying our world, stealing our wealth and you can't do anything about it" is "fun"

I don't wanna sound like a dopamine addict or a "Commies ruined my Lemmy" type of guy because I'm really not. I would happily take part in these discussions if they were posted on !politics I just don't wanna get reminded of these things while I'm just lurking around and trying to empty my head

Only !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone knows how to post properly but even they suffer those same things and they are still not as great as r/196 from Reddit before it was closed

Again my complaints are not about the content, it's great but rather it's about how nothing is categorized properly. If I wanna have fun and laugh a bit I don't wanna get interrupted by doomer posts and if I wanna get serious and discuss something I want an actual discussion post and not the comment section of a meme

I absolutely lost it the first time he called me a nerd for using Arch and straight up started doing Fedora elitism lmao

My brother is 12 and just like other people of his age he can't use a computer properly because he is only familiar with mobile devices and dumbed-down computers

I recently dual-booted Fedora KDE and Windows 10 on his laptop. Showed him Discovery and told him, "This is the app store. Everything you'll ever need is here, and if you can't find something just tell me and I'll add it there". I also set up bottles telling him "Your non-steam games are here". He installed Steam and other apps himself

I guess he is a better Linux user than Linus Sebastian since he installed Steam without breaking his OS...

The tech support questions and stuff like "Can you install this for me?" or "Is this a virus?" dropped to zero. He only asks me things like "What was the name of PowerPoint for Linux" once in a while

After a week I have hardly ever seen my brother use Windows. He says Fedora is "like iOS" and he absolutely loved it

I use Arch and he keeps telling me "Why are you doing that nerdy terminal stuff just use Fedora". He also keeps explaining to me why Fedora better than my "nerd OS"

Open source developer and Linux enthusiast here. Although cluttered, Android's home directory is fairly simple to understand

The nightmare begins when you take a look at the root filesystem.

One time I was trying to port an OS to my phone and I had to figure out the Android init system. Went to source.android.com and what. the. fuck. Just as a side-by-side comparison:

Linux boot sequence: Android boot sequence (unmodded, SIMPLE):

There are so many wrong things about it like why are there 11, 12 places to put programs (/system/bin, /bin, /usr/bin /system/usr/bin, /sbin, /system/usr/share/bin...)

Why the fuck drivers are scattered around folders instead of just /lib/modules

Why is the home directory /storage/emulated/0/ instead of just /home/0/ (also why the user is named "0")

Where the fuck is everything???

God (Linus Torvalds) forgive me but even Windows is better than that shit
