We definitely need Blender in the mix as well!

Also Signal, Bitwarden and Firefox.

Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.

My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.

My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That’s going to be fun…

Most papers will be in PDF format and may contain colors as well. E-Ink is slowly getting there, especially with the rise of digital comics, but for the time being I wouldn’t trade my iPad and Pencil combo.

I see what you mean, but there’s also a large number of lurkers, who will only vote but never comment.

I don’t think it’s unfeasible to have a small number of comments on a highly upvoted post.

It is a pretty big deal. What it essentially means is that you are completely exposed, if you pardon the pun.

And yes, absolutely everyone with basic IT skills has access to this data as it is shared across instances. All it takes is a couple minutes to deploy a docker image and boom, I’m somewhat of an admin myself.

The fact that this data is stored in plain is a major security and privacy issue that makes me rethink this platform.

I once handed in a citation from an answer to my Stack Overflow question.

Something along the lines of… “After hitting a roadblock the community at Stack Overflow was consulted, as suggested in the lecture, and deemed the task not feasible [1].”

The answer I put in the reference was one of the many variants of “Who in their right mind would do this in Matlab? Use Python instead.”

I passed lol.

Just want to throw Connect for Lemmy into the mix as well. The dev is incredibly responsive to user reported issues and feature requests and it’s already a pleasure to use.

That bot is an absolute menace. Often I come across a thread that would probably interest me, then I see 0 comments and the standard bot message and move on.

It also feels like it is really spamming those threads, which does not help the situation.

Personally, I would love to see it removed.

I’ve gotten to old and busy to give two shits about someone’s background as long as it’s not pushed in my face.

If I come across racist, homophobic, warmongering, outright Nazi or tankie stuff among many other things, I simply block the person/community and move on with my life.

And at least the dev of Sync will or has already rolled out an update to explain why the app isn’t working anymore and that Sync for Lemmy is on development.

There’s no better advertisement, really.

Haven’t found a way either with Jerboa and Connect. Not t sure if it’s possible at the moment.

But just you then just buy a worthless piece of plastic nowadays, because the license key was already added to Steam, GoG or whatever?

I honestly don’t get the obsession with physical media. That’s a thing of the past, my PC doesn’t even have a drive anymore.

The only benefit I see is a reduced download size, but with day one patches sometimes being 40+ GB that’s also not always the case.

It’s not like you own the game, just because you have a physical copy of it. Once the licensing servers are shut down that disk becomes a paper weight, and that is if it doesn’t require a constant connection to begin with.

On the other side you could argue that it’s better for the environment if we finally get rid of all disks. Is it a huge impact compared to everything else? Probably not, but it is a step in the right direction.

What kind of maniac would use a password that’s longer than 60 characters?

I get that password managers are standard now, but anything outside the norm is just asking for trouble. I vividly remember updating a client’s webfrom to reject emojis in passwords, because for some reason people started using them and it wrecked havoc in the backend.

My best guess would be to require a minimum version of Lemmy and for example keep the app backwards compatible with the last two versions.

Since Lemmy is rapidly evolving, expections to this rule of thumb would probably become necessary, if bigger changes are rolled out by the devs.

Possibly. However, it would be really interesting to see how many download the official app. Personally, the telemetry and ads are enough to keep me away, but I fully understand people, who say that Lemmy’s content just isn’t there yet.

Maybe consider it a fair warning to keep some of that gore garbage on Reddit.

That’s a hard no from me too.

Upvotes and downvotes exist to filter bad content. Anything that tracks points per user will just lead to toxic karma whoring and bots, as demonstrated by Reddit.

In my opinion, Lemmy shouldn’t turn into a Reddit clone, it should learn from Reddit’s plethora of mistakes.

Same. Reddit without Boost or other third party apps is borderline unusable. The official app is an ad- and telemetry infested piece of garbage, but if you are planning on selling user data, I guess that helps.

I still visit Reddit on desktop during work, it’s often the top Google result for some of my niche questions, but on the other hand I’m pretty glad to have my year long death scrolling behavior cured.

I don’t use Reddit on mobile anymore and Lemmy is simply not convenient enough with Jerboa’s early stage of development, which means I spend about 90% less time using these apps compared to Boost. My productivity has skyrocketed.

Great foreshadowing of how chaotic it will get when they start to replace actual mods with Spez’s imposters.
