Nope. You press the hot key and then select on the menu where you want the program to be placed

how can we make Lemmy as popular as Reddit in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] july@leminal.space 12 points 3 days ago

Exactly. I sort through the top 6 hours or top daily. There’s not a lot of posts, but they are all high quality ones.

Reddit is the opposite. I have to go through trash to reach a few good posts. Bigger =/ better

Is it because they’re ashamed of their past they now fully encourage Israel?

Nice. A reason to increase the subscription with 5$ more.

Some sci-fi stories have written about this kind of "teleportation" and it's always full of existential dread in c/anime@hexbear.net

Does that mean that the A body is completely different than B? It’s not a teleportation but a copy?

What are "points"? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

To be honest I find myself sometimes skipping comments which are down-voted to oblivion on other platforms.. :X. It doesn't help that the down voted comment also gets hidden. Sometimes they are rightfully down voted but other times the mass opinion is against OP's message which doesn't mean OP is necessarily wrong. Do upvotes even matter? They are just indicators of good/bad but that doesn't prove anything. It's up to the perceiver to declare.

The good side is that it won’t encourage karma farming

What are "points"? (lemmy.ml)
 

I noticed on a comment that I got 3 "points". Is it like upvotes?

Advice on career change (leminal.space)
 

This may be a biased place to post this here, but I am looking for confirmation and any corrections or additions to my list.

I am a 22 year old 3D Animator, I've had animation jobs mostly as remote contract jobs (never had in-house studio experience). Animation industry comes with a lot of pros and cons, and whilst I love my work, I doubt this will be beneficial for me in the long run.

I've been dwelling into Linux servers in my free time: pihole, pivpn, uxplay speakers, file sharing etc. I realized I really LOVE this stuff. I'm very new at it, using an old laptop as the server but I'm thinking of getting a mini PC and learn more.

I have been thinking if switching to a Sys-admin/IT career might be a good move. I know everything has it's goods and bads. Can you please check this list and offer your thoughts?

#PROS AND CONS:

Animation career

Pros:

  • My passion (I like having the ability to give “life” to characters, to make their own world.)
  • Getting to know all cool people who are behind the works that I love
  • Sharing a part of myself through it. Opening up my vulnerabilities to the whole world to observe and judge.
  • Pay is bad for the amount of work I put in

Cons:

  • LOTS of work
  • Stressful pushy work: deadlines, high expectations, toxic environments (some)
  • Sharing a part of myself through it. Opening up my vulnerabilities to the whole world to observe and judge.
  • Privacy: Having to be both a freelancer and open for jobs means I will have to market myself on social media. Sharing my mind on platforms from Meta is against my values.
  • Be at the mercy of the algorithm. If my art isn’t pushed, no one will contact me.

Sys admin Career:

Pros:

  • Doing my passion (been a PC & IT geek ever since I owned my first computer)
  • Opportunity to tinker with stuff and get paid for it
  • Good pay
  • Don’t need SM activity

Cons:

  • Might be a routine job which I don’t like. I like having to explore and find new solutions.
  • High Company wide responsibility: They will put their trust on me to make sure everything works
  • Other cons I may not be aware of at the moment

I do not intend to offend anyone by sounding as Sysadmin is an easy job. I know it is not. But compared to animation ind. it seems a much more healthy place.

TLDR: 3D Animator, found homelabbing, now thinks of moving to IT/Sysadmin. Animation Industry is stressful and has an impact on mental health. Loves IT and tinkering with stuff.
