No it’s just mastodon is that much more autistic that it’s the prevalent characteristic

Plus it’s just a punchline. Get over yourself

Same. I worked for a storage company and when we broke 1PB per rack we broke a freight elevator moving one to a different floor, had to buy a new rack lift for the storage nodes, and eventually had to actually have structural engineers come in and assess if the building could handle converting the test lab to fit a few dozen of them.

I checked in on my old employer recently and they’re up to 58PB in 42U now

That about sums it up

X - Same as twitter but with more nazis
Bluesky - Same as twitter but with more socialists
Threads - Same as twitter but with more boomers
Mastodon - Same as twitter but with more autism

I dont think that at all. I think when people ask “why not mastodon” it’s coming from a place of misconception. Their own exposure to this knowledge and information is disproportionately higher than the world average, but it’s so much higher they can’t really comprehend how low the average is.

Much like a billionaire thinks a banana costs $10, a lemmy user thinks people know about mastodon at all.

The temperature based cycle tracking the smart ring has is a decade ahead of what the watch is able to do. My wife has an Apple Watch and still uses and prefers her oura ring because of the cycle tracking

It’s more accurate than other thermometer based cycle trackers mostly because you never take it off and it gets significantly more data points throughout the day at very consistent intervals than something like the Mira or into.

Lemmy is definitely its own little bubble. People here really misestimate the average person’s exposure to tech news or how much they can understand or care about operating systems and distributed protocols.

You’re all in here shouting about this to eachother and nobody hears you.

I dunno. I got a plex lifetime pass 13 years ago in college and setup Usenet with sab, sickbeard and couch potato. Aside from moving to sonarr, radarr 8 or so years ago I’ve never needed to think about it. Currently sitting at 36TB of content. Maybe I’ll move to jellyfin but ¯\(ツ)

Before that I was on DC++ and IRC and honestly haven’t needed torrents in my stack since I was in middle school back in the early aughts

Vivek actually just said he’s plans to defund NASA along with veteran care

The people within your “age bubble” definitely continues to grow until you are roughly in your mid 40s. But then it really does just drop off hard and fast after that. There’s things you can do that also cause it to swing wildly.

Move to Boston - it’s the largest concentration of 20 year olds in the world per capita. Nobody exists over the age of 30 until you are 5 suburbs out of town. So if you are under 30 you just artificially spiked your age bubble up to probably your lifetime peak. If you are over 30 you just prematurely fell off a people my age cliff.

Move to Florida - dead opposite problem.

For the most part this is how it works. One notable exception is I am now 14 years into my lifetime plex pass

My lifetime jetbrains, lifetime Alfred both gone, countless small apps too. Lifetime unraid I had to convert once after 10 years but is stable now

Direct-to-Avatar (D2A) refers to an emerging business model selling products directly to avatars (D2A) - or digital identities - bypassing any supply chain management like dropshipping, logistics of how to get a physical product to a consumer's door

It’s the next “I’m growing up to be a YouTuber or Onlyfans model” but for branded digital garbage. It’s also crypto for some reason and basically rebranding NFTs for a new round of rubes

As long as there is a transition zone. There is a spot like this in Boston and it’s mind boggling that it is surrounded by bike lane roads and paths but has no bike parking areas. So you can bike to this plaza, but then there is nowhere to put your bike to enter the pedestrian only area once you get there. Naturally this leads to cyclists trying to cycle in the no cycling zone looking for a place to put their bike.

Planning for areas like this needs to account for the wider city design. Is there a parallel street that needs bike lanes added so cyclists can get to the far ends without going through it? Is there somewhere for cyclists to put their bikes (ideally at every cross street)? Etc…

 

Lemmy needs serverside hide features for posts and for communities or I’ll never find real interesting communities hiding on the 10th page of top feeds. This lack of functionality could cause the top feeds to stay trash permanently and drive away users. Especially when new apps are constantly appearing, client side hides are more or less useless as I switch between apps.

Reddit post hide features are fairly performant because they quietly expire after some period of time. They stay in your “hidden” list but actually will start showing in the results again if somehow that content is still visible. You can see this on super slow or abandoned subreddits if you hide every and come back a month later.

Reddit community blocking features have always sucked with the serverside limit of 100. Seems even more dire in Lemmy when the same shitposting communities spring up on different hosts
