Now that's exciting, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished app

Yeah, I can tell why this is from adhddd.com, it's all about assertiveness. People with ADHD in general (including myself, to an extent) have trouble with being assertive, so most of the phrases in this chart try to change a meek or mild-mannered response to a more assertive one. I think part of the struggle of life is finding balance because while some of these are generally improvements, others are generally worse, and the difference will depend on the tone you're going for and the person that you're sending the email.

I have some clothes that fit well enough that I don't need a belt in order for them to stay up. I do use a belt for some of my clothes though.

Most of that traffic is probably lurkers and content consumers. Reddit will continue chugging along for a bit, but the loss of power users and mods is about guaranteed to wither the platform over time.

A Reddit is when you destroy a social media platform because you're angry with its users. It's a common billionaire or wannabe billionaire move.

I use Bitwarden, and pay for their premium services. I really like it, it helps me keep track of all of my accounts, I'm able to keep all of my individual account passwords secure and unique, and I'm able to autofill my login credentials on all of my devices.

I'm on another instance, but here's some federated activity for you.

Howdy, everybody. I'm posting this here in an attempt to begin to move some information that is currently only stored on Reddit over to Lemmy instead, that way we'll start coming up in Google searches and we can get our information locally. I'll post my source in the comments if anyone's interested.

Problem: When running yay, either to install or update a package, you get an error along the lines of
rm: cannot remove '~/.cache/yay/arbitrary-file': Permission denied.

Solution: Oftentimes, it's because your permissions are wrong. You can either use chmod (helpful article) or you can use your file explorer (for Dolphin you right-click, go to properties, and then permissions) and give the build directory to give the build directory, usually ~/.cache/yay, read and modify permissions for both your user and your group, and make sure to give it to all of the subdirectories and files too. If ~/.cache/yay is not your build directory, it will be specified by the yay config, which is usually ~/.config/yay/config.json. Hope this helps any prospective Linux users, having the information about and available I think is good for the community.

Note: This is probably the cause and solution of a lot of other permission-denied problems for yay, but I can only confirm for myself.

Edit: Improved formatting.

It's good to see the rapid development. Lemmy is very quickly developing a thriving ecosystem.

Our first obscure piece of Lemmy lore. May there be many more into our future.

The Verge's coverage of this so far has been really good. It's probably because they think drama like this will get a lot of clicks, but even still I've enjoyed their articles.

I am a Software Engineer by trade, and I'm right now trying to learn and contribute to their code base but unfortunately, it takes a lot of time to get used to someone else's code. Hopefully, contributions will pick up once we've all had some time to look at it.

The algorithms I believe. Both active and hot are currently a bit broken, as are a few other things. Their biggest problem is they have trouble deprioritizing older posts, which leads to them getting more activity, keeping them high on the prioritization list. I've found sorting by new comments, new, and top (today) are really good ways to explore the site, and I've heard that the Lemmy devs are working on a fix for the broken algorithms. You can also hide read posts in your settings, though that has some drawbacks.

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder from your mod team. Don't forget to report bad actors, malicious bots, or rulebreakers whenever you see them. !asklemmy@lemmy.world is one of the larger communities in the threadverse and it's hard to keep up, even with a larger mod team, so please report bad behavior.
