What's wrong with the pillows? I only have one (+ my SO has 1, but those two are not stacked)
Clyden!!!
Dang... The author realized an actual problem / inconvenience people had, and somehow went on to think "I know! I'll have a random nonsense generator make up the data! That's a great solution!"
The original Lego Racers. Works really well on the deck, is Lego themed, and is just an all-round fun game.
Child-me spent countless hours with it, adult-me beat it in under 2 hours. Fair warning though: the title screen song will get stuck in your head
Hm? I have never been a mod of anything :)
Not that I know of! Anyways, for no self-motivated reasons whatsoever, I think your cats have cool names :P
I am named exactly like both of your cats, wtf 😄
I mean... "To fear"? No. But There are plenty legitimate to remove comments and posts that have nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, to do with mod overreach or censorship.
- removing derailing threads from heated discussions
- removing the annoying "just asking questions" people from LGBTQ+ safe spaces
- removing posts accidentally posted into the wrong community
- removing troll posts
- banning repeat troublemakers not willing to follow the rules
- removing aggressive, sexist, racist,... posts
On the other hand, anti-moderation people only ever seem to come up with "but I want to be able to post whatever I want!"
"Free speech" in this context means: you can go create your own instance or community, with blackjack and hookers! And mods can use the tools at their disposal to enable the rest of us to not have to deal with bullshit.
What is that supposed to do?
"We don't need moderators!" shouts the Troll, in the wrong community.
either a troll or just an idiot, doesn't matter imo
I host about 30 services, so it has crossed my mind. But I like the instance I am on now. Also, since it would almost definitely be just me on there, it would be a colossal waste of time, effort, and resources.
I'm too lazy to insert the "look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power" meme here, so.... Please imagine it instead.
I'm switching jobs in a couple of months, and I am SO glad to be leaving a (very well maintained!!) python codebase with type hints and mypy for a rust codebase.
It is just not the same.
If you are technically inclined: self host Jellyfin, use one of the various music streaming apps for it. Put the money you would have paid for x years of subscription into buying the albums.
Bei mir (ewig her) war der Druck und das Leiden schon jahrelang präsent, aber ich hatte quasi keine Bildung im Bezug auf trans Menschen und ihre Erfahrungen. Trans als Begriff war mir irgendwo bekannt, aber als abstraktes Konzept, nicht als Sache, die "ganz normale" Leute wie ich sein konnten.
Hab irgendwann absolut zufällig einen Erfahrungs- bzw. Rauskommensbericht einer trans Frau gelesen, und mit ziemlicher Panik festgestellt: das ist 1:1 mein Erfahren und meine Gefühle. Oh fuck oh shit.
Hat auf einen Schlag jahrelange Ängste und Leiden rekontextualisiert. Bin quasi in einem Nachmittag trans "geworden".
Glückwunsch, und alles Gute!
Yeah OK, that's fair. It's really a shame how dependent notifications are on Google. ALl the other things - Mail, Photos, Drive,... - are a lot easier to replace.
Alright, thank you!
Hey, we're also thinking about setting up authentik. Could you answer the following, where I haven't found answers to yet: does introducing SSO impede logging into Jellyfin on a TV / phone app at all?
At this point, package management is the main differentiating factor between distro (families). Personally, I'm vehemently opposed to erasing those differences.
The "just use flatpak!" crowd is kind of correct when we're talking solely about Linux newcomers, but if you are at all comfortable with light troubleshooting if/when something breaks, each package manager has something unique und useful to offer. Pacman and the AUR a a good example, but personally, you can wring nixpkgs Fron my cold dead hands.
And so you will never get people to agree on one "standard" way of packaging, because doing your own thing is kind of the spirit of open source software.
But even more importantly, this should not matter to developers. It's not really their job to package the software, for reasons including that it's just not reasonable to expect them to cater to all package managers. Let distro maintainers take care of that.
Devin, the "$2 Billion AI software engineer" turns out to be a complete scam. Who could have thunk!
