  • Would the default instance be run by the app dev? Or in collaboration with some instance? It would maybe be risky to do with an unaffiliated instance because if they didn't like it they could disallow these types of accounts or signups.

  • He did some vivisection based experiments on dogs that were kind of horrific iirc

  • I'd been looking for Reddit alternatives for years, but most of them were full of sparse content I wasn't interested in and users who seemed like assholes. Lemmy meets a higher standard, and my interest in gradually moving away from Reddit and supporting others abandoning it has also gotten higher. The decentralized design is also a big plus, gives free network effects to potential new software efforts because they can freely plug into it.

  • I think the main idea is that it's an "agent" that runs command line commands and then considers the output. It definitely helps sometimes to show a LLM the errors its code generated.

  • Things like subscriptions don't seem like they should take up too much space, so it seems like a flaw that there isn't more redundancy

  • If Mastodon is federated, why isn't this recoverable somehow? I thought federation involved making copies of content on other servers, does that just not happen often enough for it to work as a backup?

  • I really don't think it's that simple, because our behavior is also a result of habits and circumstance, not just what we enjoy doing. Reading books is something that takes some time to get into the right mindset to enjoy, and it's easy to end up doing activities with shorter term rewards instead if you don't build it into your routine.

    Something that works pretty well for me is reading in bed, before I get up in the morning.

  • Food doesn’t last forever, so you can’t save as much by buying in bulk

    You can get around this by favoring shelf stable staples, frozen foods, foods that take a long time to go bad like carrots and onions. I also have some silicone gallon bags I use to freeze banana and avocado slices, since fresh is generally cheaper than frozen for those.

  • Ignoring the internet bill itself, how many paid online services do you have?

    Jump

  • VPN and domains

  • Do you make a grocery list, or do you just go to the store and wing it?

    Jump

  • I add things to an online pickup order as I think of them, I don't actually go in the store anymore

  • How We Lost Communication to Entertainment

    Jump

  • So the main complaint is that Pixelfed clients don't display posts without images even if one has followed the poster? And thinks it incentivizes creation of using multiple accounts/apps when a single one to interact with ActivityPub would be better? That seems like a fair thing to criticize but it seems a little dramatic to paint it as entertainment killing communication.

  • I might be remembering wrong but didn't this webcomic invent or popularize the word "fap"?

  • If someone is complaining about the reasonableness of the price of an Apple product, while using one (and presumably leaving on the features that advertise in messages that an iPhone was used), I think it's fair to assume they are paying or going to pay those prices, especially because of all the stuff Apple does to maintain a closed ecosystem of products.

    There's also the implied expectation that an ethical company would be voluntarily using the money they get to make sure they are giving back to employees and the broader society, but that's unrealistic because companies never work like that.

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

    Jump

  • Sounds a lot like "how you feel doesn't matter, your right to exist depends on being useful to me."

    Which calls for acquiring leverage and using it to set boundaries, more than it calls for a rational rebuttal. Just gotta systematically remove the power such people have over you, and then they won't be able to talk to you that way anymore.

  • How many routers are required for this? I see it mentions that they should overlap, and there's a diagram that seems to imply 3 routers, but I'm not seeing it saying what the minimum is or if more makes a difference.
