  • Ideas for a better Lemmy experience

    Jump

  • Ehh still seems useless, they then just have to age the accounts before posting. One thing I'd want to know is of those posts are in topic areas that anyone would want to influence surreptitiously.

  • Ideas for a better Lemmy experience

  • Kind of useless probably, at least in the present state of Lemmy. We're not particularly overrun by new users. That would be a good problem to have.

  • Boys: Should I take my L and move on from her, or risk trying to revive it? I think my L is clear here but need some dude inputs:

  • Just wear a hat to cover up the L written on your forehead.

  • I remember it from baseball, way back. Each team had a W-L record.

  • Wait what? It doesn't sound like there is anything to revive. IDK what it means to be "left on read" but yeah, move on. If it's a long term Discord maybe things will reset themselves after a long enough wait, but don't bet on it.

  • Why is Rust so bare-bones?

  • Try Forth if you want a bare bones language.

  • Common Lisp has meta programming built-in but no one uses Common Lisp for a good reason.

    I use Common Lisp, but maybe you're right and my reason for using it is bad.

  • Is it just me, or does anyone else wish there was a federated, decentralized alternative to YouTube Music?

    Jump

  • Bands can start their own "labels" on archive.org, https://archive.org/details/netlabels . is that what you had in mind?

    The attraction of youtube for almost all listeners is the huge copyrighted collection, which is (mostly) there through artist permission or upload, because the artists get a chunk of the ad revenue. Any serious competitor would also have to somehow deliver a payment stream, which means ads or subscriptions or something. Not really a fediverse thing.

  • What should we be doing, individually, to increase Lemmy's userbase?

    Jump

  • Lemmy is sort of crappy through its software decisions, similar to how Reddit is crappy but in some ways worse. There's not much we can do about that as users. Reddit also manages to paper over some of its crappiness through moderator interventions, while Lemmy tends to let crap slide. Crappiness = clickbait titles with no indication of what the link is about, lots of duplicate posts, etc. Lemmy adds the problem of fragmenting communities across instances. I think I heard that posts duplicated across multiple communities in a single instances will somehow be cleaned up in 1.0, which can help.

    Anyway there's not a whole lot that users can do, except maybe launch some new instances or forks that don't suck as much.

  • generally, use "netstat -lpn | grep 8080" (or whatever port number) to find out what process is already listening on that port. This kind of thing happens all the time.

  • What are things to learn and know before getting into vinyl and record players

    Jump

  • Those aren't really sufficient reasons to deal with vinyl IMHO. Do it because you want another weird expensive hobby maybe, or because there's music you like that you can't easily get in other formats. Or you like full sized album art, etc. Otherwise in practical terms it's mostly not worth it, IMHO.

    I was into it back in the day. But I found when I bought a new LP, I'd usually dub it to tape cassette on the first listen. After that I'd usually play the tape instead of the LP just because it was less hassle.

    These days just rip everything to FLAC and transcode that to other formats as the need arises. It's on your HDD so you still own it. Make backups of course.

  • Is Lemmy.World an authentically "modern leftist" community?

    Jump

  • Modern leftist community that keeps clamoring to defederate lemmy.ml which tbh isn't that political? Nah.

  • Discontinuing the Teensy at Adafruit

    Jump

  • Meh, it's sort of an empty gesture, as discussed in the HN thread. The "competitor" is a somewhat-compatible Teensy 3 clone that uses a different processor with roughly similar cpu performance. It doesn't compete with the much faster Teensy 4 which is the only model that PJRC currently sells. And these types of boards aren't generally about CPU performance anyway. If you want fast computing, get a Linux board or similar. These boards are about stuff like analog i/o.
