  • Titles that aren't doing the titles.

  • If you like reading and sci-fi, try the Culture series. It's about a utopia society where everyone has everything.

    You can skip the first book. Not that it's bad, it just doesn't really relate to your question (it's from the POV of an enemy of the utopia culture) and all the books simply take place in the same universe but can be read out of order.

  • Loved that show, sad it got cancelled. But of all the cancelled shows I've seen, this one at least has managed to get an ending that's not horrible.

  • Yeah, my disk's not even full.

  • So, where are the people who were telling me how it's a move in the right direction?

  • You have to subscribe to a community, otherwise you're not getting any updates. If no one on your instance subscribes, you get no updates. Try setting up a bot account and make it subscribe to a bunch of communities.

    For example using https://lemmy-federate.com/.

  • I've seen it all the time like a decade before crypto was a thing.

  • The biggest problem with Rust are its users. They somehow think that having a safe memory access means fewer bugs. While it only means fewer memory management related bugs. Which honestly isn't even a problem with modern C++.

  • Yeah, if you hash your passwords with unsalted md5 it's much more secure in Rust than PHP!

  • I love these kind of stories because there's not a single good side!

    So, who do you root for? The all-content-stealing machine? Or the companies ran by people who are dead inside and think that lyrics to a song you paid for already should be copyrighted?

  • Well, I did it this year finally after thinking about it for a decade+.

    One of the reasons I did it was to document stuff for future me - if I never need to redo anything I wrote about, I have a perfect manual.

    The other reason is to help the community. I sometimes tend to write about fairly obscure things (like creating a Matrix bot with E2EE enabled, or mixing Go and PHP using FFI) that might actually help someone if they search for it.

    I don't know about you, but whenever I ask an AI something that's not really mainstream knowledge, it sucks so much so I have to search anyway, so tech blogs will always be needed.

    Edit: I also took it as an opportunity to learn about ActivityPub, my blog is fully federated and you can read it here on Lemmy if you want. So if you can find some learning opportunity in there, go for it!

  • Congrats!

  • It you feel like there's no lying and propaganda on the left, congrats, you've fallen for it!

    Though it tends to be on the less extreme side. Doesn't mean there isn't any.

  • Why limit it to friends? In my company, we do scope creep for everyone!

  • Oh yeah, I love playing with Linux phones. I once created a container, installed Proton bridge in it and enjoyed having my mails in the native phone app.

  • I do believe that. More often than not, people believe what they want the truth to be, not what the actual truth is.

    This person obviously falls for propaganda quite a bit. And the right spends a lot of time painting the left as an evil force that hates them and wants to destroy them and their children. So even if Trump is not as pristine as she'd wish, still better than the left who literally wants to destroy her children and force them to be trans (or whatever the current narrative is).

    I'm not saying the vile racists are not a significant portion of their voters, I'm just saying that these well meaning but severely misguided people are a huge portion of their voters as well.

    And by lumping them together you're basically forcing them to adopt the extreme views so that they belong somewhere. And that's how you create more extremists, because you tell them "either you're with us or with them." And with the (wrong) information they have, they can never choose you.

    I'm not saying to tolerate intolerance, but ask any psychologist how successful can you be in forcing people to change their view. You have to guide them so that they discover the answer alone. And unlike the really bigotted people, people like her can be guided.

  • Why? Just imply sending another hitman! I think the billionaires would find themselves feeling very altruistic eventually.

  • Not true. You can also wake Azatoth up.

  • Thanks. I'm a Bambu user now. Might have to come back to Prusa some day because I really dislike what Bambu's doing lately, but so far not a single thing has broken (well, other than things I broke) after two years of use.

    I would really like something top level which is not made by Prusa nor Bambu, I guess.
