Oh my God you sound like me 5 years ago, back when I was an insufferable Linux fan boy, constantly downplaying every negative of Linux and pretending none of the pros of Windows existed.
I never had the balls to pretend nvidia gpus performed better on Linux though, so you got me there.
Yeah, nuclear is to fossil fuels as planes are to cars, safety wise. Sure it’s a huge deal when an accident occurs, but that’s because accidents are drastically more rare.
You know how male animals like cows and moose will fight by ramming into each other, and the winner is the one that pushes the other one back? I’m picturing that, with the same serious faces, but it’s penis heads that make contact.
So this person thinks too dudes bang by smashing their dicks into each other full force? At least now I see why they might be a little concerned lol
I’m of the stance that it doesn’t actually matter at all if you give a platform up, it’s just the overall amount of time that does. So imo there’s no reason to not keep going to reddit for the stuff you can only find there.
Hell, if everyone on Lemmy never went anywhere else, all we’ve done is doomed the site to die off as no new people ever hear about it.
I sit in my open plan office all day, dreaming of the privacy of a cubicle
My team has being trying an approach where instead of story pointing, we break everything down into the smallest incremental tasks we reasonably can and use number of tasks overall as the metric instead of story points.
In theory it’s meant to be just as accurate on larger projects because the larger than normal and smaller than normal tasks all average out, and it save the whole headache of sitting around and arbitrarily setting points on everything based mostly on gut feeling.
That’s one hell of a long running sentence right there.
The problem is this is an argument of what ifs. Who knows if Japan would have reconsidered if the US had performed a public demonstration, or even just made the trinity test public before dropping Hiroshima, so the Japanese knew what was coming if they didn’t surrender. Maybe it would have done something, maybe it wouldn’t. We’ll never know for sure, and all this arguing about the collective psychology of a large nation 100 years ago is never going to reach a point of agreement.
Thank you! Been here a month and a half and I still had no clue how to link communities lol
That makes so much sense! I never understood it, and it became irrelevant before I worked it out.
A tip if you’re used to old reddit and use desktop, check out old.lemmy.world. It as a dark mode like reddit enhancement suite adds to old reddit, and everything is exactly where I expect it to be based on my reddit experience. Since you’re already using a lemmy.world account, it’ll just work for you straight away.
Oh and also, you’ll see that you can list things as “all,” “local,” or “subscribed.” You can pretty much ignore local, and use all or subscribed as your main page.
Oh my God it’s beautiful!
I know there are a couple of other *.lemmy.world domains, are they actually listed anywhere? feels like they would make sense to be added into the starting guide stickied here for newbies.
I too hate it when community focused on Topic won’t shut up about Topic.
Honestly agreed. I hate that we don’t have a good open alternative to YT, but as long as you can afford it buying premium seems like a decent alternative.
Hot sorting normally has some weight put towards new posts so they show up occasionally. I think on lemmy right now the weight of new posts is just way too high.
I tend to stick to top in time period, and use hot as a smarter version of sort by new.
You wouldn’t believe the number of autopsies where they found copious amount of dihydrogen monoxide, but still listed cause of death as “unknown.” I’ve seen teachers promoting this stuff to children! WAKE UP!!!
Protip for when you do need to reference a short like that: just replace /shorts/ in the url with /v/ and it’ll be a standard youtube video, just in a vertical format.
Meanwhile, Windows has become drastically better for development over the past few years. There are still some drawbacks, but a ton of the anti windows circlejerking in tech spaces is caused by people who haven’t touched windows as a dev environment in 10+ years.
