I only see a couple of the most recent posts, but the number 2K seems to indicate that there are a lot more that it just is not showing me.

By contrast, I felt like looking at pictures of galaxies right now, so I went over to https://astrodon.social/tags/galaxies, and behold–look at all of them! So easy!

In fact, maybe the lesson here is that I should just give up on Pixelfed and use Mastadon for discovering cool things to look at in my downtime.

I just go to the web site, e.g. https://lemmy.sdf.org/.

The thing that I don’t get is that it seems like this should be a solved problem, because I can visit any Mastadon instance and see the content there just fine. Rather, Pixelfed seems to have gone out of its way to construct an artificial wall that prevents people from doing this.

But what if I want to be on a small instance or even self-host? Then I cannot see any potentially appealing hashtags because I do not start with a large library of locally downloaded content.

Yeah, I have to say that Lemmy has been a pretty great experience so far! 😀

ONE OF US!

ONE OF US!

ONE OF US!

But if a hashtag has not made its way over to my instance, then it effectively does not exist to me. Even if I do see it show up and decide I want to see more content related to it, if said content has not ever made its way over to my instance then I am still left out. The great thing about being able about able to check out what is on other instances is that I am no longer restricted to whatever the people on my instance are interested in.

This a completely different experience from Lemmy, where I was immediately able to go to a bunch of different instances, look through their communities, and go: “I want to subscribe to this one, this one, and this one!”

Just like they say, you can modify the code and remove for free if you really want, they’re not forbidding you from doing so or anything

True, but I think you are discounting the risk that the actual god Anubis will take displeasure at such an act, potentially dooming one’s real life soul.

Nah, i rather be with an honest piece of shit than someone how “pretends” to be a good person.

On the other hand, someone who “pretends” to be a good person all of the time is essentially indistinguishable from an actual good person.

Interesting! I had not even realized that this was a problem, though it makes sense now after your description. How realistically feasible is this type of approach, though, given that the manufactures can always just ignore the kernel’s request to reprogram them and continue to access the bus and memory directly?

What exactly does the statement that Linux does not already “embrace the whole hardware” mean?

A related tactic is sealioning:

Yeah, there is nothing more annoying in general when starting to type text into a co-workers desktop than having random letters show up rather than having the cursor move around.

nano -> vim

This one is extremely consistent with the others because once you have made the switch, it becomes harder to escape.

This will finally be the year of the Wayland desktop!

The Software Publishers Association has finally won:

It is no longer possible to copy that floppy. :-(

Repeating my other reply verbatim yet again as you keep copying and pasting the same exact comment:

First, to be clear, this isn’t so much “press” as a blog entry. Second, there are only so many mentions of “rust cultists” and “my rust” I can read in a blog before losing interest.

Have you really not heard of it? It is a new architecture that is a bit better than x64_64.

I’ve only met one other person that knew who/what Dvorak was/is, and also reportedly used that keyboard layout.

I experimented with it in University–I actually got a screwdriver and pried up and rearranged all of the keys on my keyboard within a week or so of starting–but after graduating I noticed that I was still slower at typing on Dvorak than I was on QWERTY so I gave up and changed back.
