My instance federates with everyone and is very stable. The owner has posted many times that its not the job of the instance owner to control opinions, which I heavily agree with.

Obvious trolls gets kicked out but generally people are encouraged to have opinions and discussions. I think its a great instance.

There is a signup but that was only added because spammers made it necessary, not because the owner wanted it.

Tempest Rising, the new modern command & conquer game. I really like it, and struggled for weeks how to beat the computer in skirmish on hard as GDF.

Turns out i hadnt realized the huge value of comms...

Flatpak has annoyances like sometimes not following your icon theme, or just generally looking out of place because not picking up system defaults.

It works but I avoid it. On Arch Linux, there is a huge AUR repository where users have made native packages, and thats usually much better than Flatpak. But on Ubuntu, Flatpak is the only option sometimes.

Its funny because humans see themselves as very smart, but they built a society where everyone has to work all day to pay their bills, because fantasy "money" is seen as a real, almost physical limitation like air and water, and decider of life or death despite just existing inside computer programs.

And humans still fight eachother, kill eachother, have wars on a global scale, because all big country leaders are narcissist psychopats.

Actually when taking a step back from all this, its very sad to be part of this species. What are we supposed to be proud of when we leave this planet? I guess at least we can try to not do harm on a personal level and try to bring up children who can think for themselves and are kind to others.

I meant that with Trump in charge of the USA, it would be at the bottom of the ranking if it was included in the European stats.

Honestly i guess its because it feels like Europe is not as important as USA for world econony or relations....

Maybe thats wrong. But it certainly feels like Europe is just not that important. And im a European.

I personally don't trust Snowden. Looking at the difference between how he was treated and how Assange was treated. One guy gets to rot in prison, other guy gets movies made about him from Hollywood. Snowden is very much controlled opposition in my mind.

But that being said, I think he is truthful about OpenAI. Which sucks, because now I and many others love using chat gpt.

It's possible to self host these things though. I read an article about it here:

https://blog.lytix.co/posts/self-hosting-llama-3

But probably not worth the money for most people.

 

I think its not just kids anymore, it's adults too. Everyone is glued to their screens these days. But kids are more vulnerable to influences from "social" media and don't have any defences to the psychological warfare going on. Of course they feel like shit.

 

I think this is the perfect analogy for what's happening right now to the open web.

We are part of the Cosy Web here on Lemmy.. :)

 

This is actually pretty brilliant and innovative.

With other solutions, the "key" that re-enables distractions is always present. Brick allows you to leave that key behind, turning your phone into a new, distraction-free device until you return.

This tickles some part of my brain... The scanning part is so cool. Would you use an app like this?

 

This is a very entertaining and educational article, giving insights into the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

I don't like Apple but it's great that their security is so good when it comes to this.

This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I'm still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

Get your shorts ready, this will be very interesting to follow. Seems like the stock will appear tomorrow already?

I fully expect a nosedive in stock price but who knows. Maybe a pump and dump.

 

Who is actually surprised by this? I would be more surprised if young Americans felt it was a great place to live.

 

I didn't know reddit gave out the personal details of their users, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

 

So the day has come. :) Which distro will be the first to have it...

 

Looking forward to trying this tomorrow. Anyone has tried it on their macs?
