  • What are some gross or disgusting facts about the human body that people aren't aware of?

    Jump

  • In my work I've been around many things that can be considered gross. Cutting away dead flesh around a bed sore that's a big rotting hole into the body, a woman eating her own feces like a mars bar, etc. One time I slipped and fell into a puddle that was a mix of edema fluids leaking through the skin, and urine. After a while you get desensitized, and it's just... matter. Atoms. I saw this woman who fell and her head went into the ground hard and blood just pumped out of her head into her long hair, it was like one big lump of hair that soaked up the blood, she lived for a day after that and I held her hand when she died. It's a strange thing to be around dying people all the time, I'm not sure if I've made peace with it or if I'm broken in some way.

  • What is the point of posting on the fediverse if it is going to be moderated similarly to Reddit?

    Jump

  • The decentralization is the new and interesting aspect. If that doesn't matter to you then lemmy might not offer what you're looking for.

  • Who is the most super Chad of solo code projects and why?

  • I haven't tried typst, how does it compare to plain TeX?

    Jump

  • As a TeX hobbyist, I would argue that they serve slightly different purposes. Plain TeX is for typography, the workflow is that of low level control where your human judgement is needed for interventions and decisions. LaTeX serves a different purpose, it aides the author of a text to focus on the content while abstracting away the underlying inherent problems in fitting letters on a page. TeX is small, difficult, but simple. LaTeX is huge, with 30 years of abstractions built on top of abstractions, until nowadays few people know how to actually deal with an overfull or underfull hbox the right way.

    The state of interoperability

  • Do I dare say it 🥺

    Jump

  • I used to switch a lot, and created scripts that install distroboxes with all the stuff needed for various purposes like java programming etc. Now on a fresh install I can get back to having all third party libraries and IDE set up with extensions, git configured etc in a couple of minutes. Debian distroboxes for things where versions don't matter, tumbleweed for latest versions when needed. I looked forward to distrohopping all the time. But now I'm just on debian as the "host" system, no need to switch.

  • What does this mean?

  • Is it possible to set up a PieFed or Mbin community out of the box, or do they require knowledge of coding?

    Jump

  • OP, did you get the answers to your questions? It seems like there was a bit of confusion if you meant a community or an instance.

    An instance is the whole server, like for example feddit.uk or lemmy.world, or piefed social. Each instance contains many communities. For this you need to do some installing and configuring on a server that you buy or rent.

    A community is like a "subreddit", that runs on an instance. Devoted to some subject or general idea like news, knitting, or cats. This you need no programming or systems administration to do, it's all clicking in a browser.

  • It's Bigger on the Inside

    Jump

  • Many people find Debian to be a "boring" OS. After years of distrohopping some come to the conclusion that a boring OS is exactly what they want.

    Jump

  • Time for Navidson and some cameras to document it!

  • Well well well.

    Jump

  • Oh I know the reason, nobody knew git and had just worked alone before.

  • Well well well.

    Jump

  • Aha. I was part of a project where each dev had their own long running branch for non-specific work and this was the norm, but it always felt clunky. And often resulted in merge issues.

  • Well well well.

    Jump

  • Is it ok to continue on a branch if you also merge back main into it? Like, branch gets merged into main on remote, local main pull, local merge main into local branch, push branch?

  • Sextortion with a twist: Spyware takes webcam pics of users watching porn

    Jump

  • I was thinking more about legal actions. But then again torrents need trackers and search sites. It seems like it's hard to shut down pirate bay though. I just have a feeling that usenet flies under the radar a bit, but if it became mainstream, it might be easier to shut down a server than a shifting swarm of peers?

    Jump

  • Doesn't this also mean that the server can be a single point of failure? Whereas in a torrent swarm it's distributed and more resilient?

    What kind of communities would you like to see either created or become more active on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Aha, I see, thanks for clarifying.

    How can we make the Fediverse more positive and wholesome?

    Jump

  • It would be neat if different front-ends catered to different types of users who wanted different aspects, but that there was an underlying compatibility that also worked better. If I understand it correctly, mastodon has implemented activitypub in a way where each post doesnt hold a reference to the entire thread hierarchy (as lemmy has), so it's difficult for mastodon software to construct hierarchies of replies in the same way, or at least it's more expensive to traverse. There's some differences in how groups are interpreted, as a hash tag or as a community. I'd rather be able to use one account and have the option to view activities in different ways, but now the implementations differ. That's the interoperability I mean that doesn't defeat decentralization.

    Jump

  • How do you mean? To me a network is decentralized if there isn't one controlling company or organization. In the fediverse, I can set up my own instance of mastodon/lemmy/honk/whatever. The fact that I can use honk to follow people on mastodon and interact with them in a smooth way is interoperability to me. I don't need both a honk account and a mastodon account. This is a good thing imho. I can choose which software to run, or which home server to join, and still interact with people using different servers.
