Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

For any picture posts I make with the [OC] tag, I provide a license for you to use my photo under the terms of CC-BY-SA-4.0. You may DM me for questions.

  • Why is lemmy frontpage filled with memes?

    Jump

  • Quick answer is that memes and shitposts get upvoted more than discussion, which is why it appears in your Hot/Top/Active sorted feed.

    Look at my post history if you like. My top scoring ones are memes and the more discussion and text only posts tend to get only a bit of traction. I think the number of votes is also affected by how many people are subscribed, people cannot upvote it if they or their instance don't see it.

    If you want a "mostly discussion" feed with less memes and shitposts, try looking around for discussion focused communities (my local one is !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca), subscribe to a bunch and then make your default page the "Subscribed" feed. That way you can switch between what's trending on Lemmy in general (All/Local) and what new posts are coming up with your realm of interest (Subscribed).

  • Abolish ICE? DHS Too. It’s Time

    Jump

  • Might not happen during Trump, but I think it's no longer an extreme position. People were probably wary of making serious moves to abolish the gestapo while they had unlimited licence to kidnap and kill people.

  • Misconduct Expert Says State Has the Right to Charge ICE Officer Who Killed Renee Good

    Jump

  • Step 1. Murderer uploads the Minnesota state case to a federal one.

    Step 2. Trump pardons the murderer.

  • 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular

    Jump

  • Slo-pilot or Slop-a-lot works for me.

  • Microsoft's Satya Nadella wants you to stop saying AI "slop" in 2026

    Jump

  • Nadella, go ahead, keep trying to meet your slop metrics and slop KPIs. You're doing a great job moving people to Linux.

  • ‘I don’t think we should have billionaires’: mayor Zohran Mamdani in his own words

    Jump

  • Does anyone know how to completely remove NSFW content from Mastodon feeds so that there aren't even blurred images?

    Jump

  • Can you filter keywords to block very specific things you don't want to see? If a post matches those words you can make it so that post won't show up at all.

    Issue is of false triggers, you won't be able to see what got missed. Examples: mastodon would filter out someone's post about someone being a dick to the cashier at the grocery store if the keyword is 'dick', and plenty of false triggers for 'fuck'. So filter out words like 'penis' and 'sex' instead.

  • As soon as I read his trademark word I knew it was Doctorow, awesome! I'll give this a full listen sometime later.

  • Do you prefer FOSS over proprietary software? How much do you use it?

    Jump

  • I prefer FOSS over Proprietary software for my personal life. I look for FOSS alternatives first and only if it is extremely unsuitable or missing crucial features I'll go for the non-FOSS versions.

    For work, since other people are paying me to use proprietary software, I will use whatever. In a professional capacity I am publicly searchable anyway.

  • Linux Distros Designed for Former Windows Users Are Picking Up Steam | Linux Journal

    Jump

  • That's where I think Bazzite really shines... I didn't need the terminal to setup all of the normal stuff at all, and new apps I discovered right from the start menu so I didn't need to go far at all.

  • How do you deal with spending money for (unnecessary) luxuries?

    Jump

  • How much money is coming in every month (salary + other income)? How much money is going out (bills, food, subscriptions, other recurring expenses)? How much are you putting towards short and long term savings each month?

    Once you've set aside those categories, the remainder is what you can spend without worrying about needing to take away from your more essential obligations.

    I'm a miser, so I'd think hard about whether I really need a MacBook. If I felt I'd make do with the PCs I had, and wouldn't open the Macbook much then it's not worth, but if it would be my daily driver then it would be. Divide the price by the number of hours you'd use it. And then just spend less discretionally for a couple months until you build up the buffer again.

  • Trump’s Immigration Nightmare: It Is Happening Here

    Jump

  • America won't recover from this post-Trump era, unless the six Supreme Court justices that sanctioned this (Perdomo v Vasquez) even temporarily, are summarily removed from their positions.

  • “I Almost D!ed After Being Denied Medical Care”: Conservative Christian Trump Voter Shocked to Learn Fetal Heartbeat Bill Applies to Her Too

    Jump

  • “I wasn’t allowed to choose me? Where’s the pro-life in that?”

    That's literally pro-choice, dawg. "Pro-life" is literally pro-birth even for a non-viable fetus at your own expense.

  • Also KDE connect but I just learned you can send more than one file at a time through it.

    • From Android to Linux Desktop: select files then the share button then send to [Your PC Name here] via KDE connect
    • Both ways: select Remote Filesystem and just move or copy files around in the file browser.

  • ICE says U.S. citizen’s birth certificate is fake after arresting her: attorneys

    Jump

  • Throwing US citizens in jail for days seems to be considered by Brett Kavanaugh as brief questioning where the individuals "may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U. S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States". And this sort of stuff doesn't happen according to Kristi Noem.

  • Got my first printer, what else do I need? Any tips on setup?

    Jump

  • What's your goal, to take random designs other people made and print them, or to make your own stuff for fun or for some practical purpose?

    The first original thing I'd made was a box to hold double-A batteries.

    The slicer converts models into code to suit your printer. I use CURA for that.

    Just ensure that you have your bed and extruder temps set right, and you pick an infill setting you like (I go 15-20% and Cubic). Make sure to preview the model and ensure that any significant overhang is supported. The bed on your machine autolevels but for anyone else, level your bed before starting your first print.

    Only other software you need is 3d modeling software to make your own models. I've used Blender and FreeCAD but more expensive professional tools will work too.
