Solid points, but one point you didn’t mention I feel is important. Stop lobbyism! Corpartes shouldn’t have any direct influence in political decisions.

Thanks for the insight. Lemmy starts to feel like reddit in the past were some specialist or the author of the paper chimed in on the discussion.

The fediverse doesn’t have a person in charge. It’s more or less a bunch of technologies on top of activity pub protocol

lsof | grep <filename>

Most people don’t care about any of that. Firefox with AdBlock to surfe YouTube without ads? Nah, they want the app, which is basically the same, but at least they can’t block ads. I stopped trying to understand

Also, on xitter are all these assholes I don’t care about. I can’t leave that platform. Pathetic!

People will never understand intricacies like that. On the other hand, the big tech corps do. We are doomed

That’s the way you to go

Self hosting on a rolling release platform? No way. Give me Debian, 4 hours work every 2 1/2 years. Arch is crazy and only doable if you only have a few single server

Nice analogy. I used this one in the past: “you can’t fix a full disk by deleting word documents”, but I like yours more

Sounds interesting. Care to elaborate?

Evolution over revolution: the best to ever come into existence was the human. And nobody ever used kanban for it

Change my mind

Capitalism is a tool to maximize profit. Whoever thought it was a good idea to let capitalism have influence on laws so that they can maximize its profit was a big fool.

What do you expect? Capitalism, a tool, has by definition no morale. Let it decide politics to increase profit and you end up with that kind of shit society we have today.

Don’t blame the hammer, when you hit your thumb. Also, don’t let the hammer decide where to make the biggest dent.

Can we please start again focusing on the people? Without people there is no society, and there is no market to increase profits.

Start using capitalism and free markets like a tool. Want more renewable and clean energy? Make rules and see the magic of capitalism in making the best out of it.

Instead we let capitalism decide what should be done next and suffer the consequences. It’s as easy as that.

Unfortunately capitalism not only create the rules, they also decide what is news and influence societies views. And that’s why OPs picture is as it is.

Fuck socialism, am I right guys?!

SCNR if they were able to make good decisions, they would never have switched to chrome anyway. /s

tbh, i don’t get all the mozilla/firefox hate. even “the linux project” missed the mark by a mile with his firefox critique.

whatever mozilla does, it’s not even half as evil as google

Same for me, no TV for the last 15 years. All I consume is online and about topics I like.

TBs of data per day? You know how much text fits into 1tb? o.O

Anyway, we seem to enjoy a pretty similar type of entertainment. For me, it’s all about liking what I do. I can’t stand doing things I dislike at all.

Lemme ask you about ADHD?! I’m pretty sure I have it but don’t care. I am who I am. How about you?

I have a theory: information is best remembered if it is acquired solving a problem.

Play with the new tech, hit a roadblock, read and learn. That way you are motivated, know why you are reading the stuff and also only learn the stuff that isn’t intuitive.

Depending on experience many things are just like something you already know and easy to learn/remember, others are not. Don’t waste your time learning the first.

On the other hand, put me into a room with a teacher, who tries to teache me specifics about a tech I don’t care about and I will promise you, I will learn nothing. Even worse, I will start to hate that tech.

My trick to remember:

You can link to a target without giving a name to the link. ln will use the basename of the target file then. You can’t create a link without a target, so target has to go first since it’s not optional. Did it for me

There is a way with chmod in bash to change files and folders with files getting no execute bit and folder do (rwX instead of rwx). It’s in the man pages but good luck finding it via Google. Stackoverflow just suggests using find over and over again.

That did it for me.

non technical people are doing pretty well, because they don’t try to install photoshop or nvidia drivers downloaded from the nvidia drivers page.

The “windows power user” are the hardest demographic, because they expect to know what they are doing but the don’t if they are new to linux.

What did LTT write in the terminal again: “i know that this opperation will delete my gui and i am sure that i want that”, presses enter and wonders why his gui is gone. go figure
