oce , to nostupidquestions in Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?
@oce@jlai.lu avatar

Basic mental health config for a non tankist user of Lemmy is to block hexbear, lemmygrad and lemmy.ml instances first. Then, any user from there that you will see calling nazis anyone who don’t think like them.
I almost left Lemmy thinking it was a tankist shithole before understanding the pattern.
Then it gets back to the average former-Reddit techie activist, which is still pretty left.

@kbal@fedia.io avatar

Linux sucks, Windows is worse, MacOS is useless. We must conclude that those systems are not a good choice for regular users. I recommend a simple pocket calculator instead. No graphics drivers to worry about, no firmware updates, if it goes wrong you just press the reset button and it's ready to go again in a tenth of a second, no need to do backups, you can get a pretty good one for $20, light weight, really good battery life. Much better in almost every way.

Wdym? flamingo_pinyata’s explaination was quite useful, I wish somebody had told me that long ago and it’s still going to let me save so much time.

When I see �, I just assume the user or another dev is using a non-standard keyboard, or my fonts aren’t up to date

When I see this shit, I lose all blood flow to the brain and then just collapse

Your Lemmy client appears to have a bug.

IrateAnteater , to programmerhumor in Pure evil

Why is it that whenever something is spitting out junk data, those specific characters are involved?

Vent ,

� is used to represent an invalid character, so it makes sense that it’d appear often when bad data is being rendered (or good data is being rendered improperly).

ImplyingImplications ,

Everything is 0s and 1s to a computer. What a pattern of 0s and 1s encodes is decided by people–often arbitrarily. Over the years there have been attempts to standardize encodings but, for legacy reasons, older encodings are still valid.

The 0s and 1s that encode ’ in UTF-8 (a standardized encoding) are the same 0s and 1s that encode ’ in CP-1252 (a legacy encoding).

The � symbol is shown when the 0s and 1s don’t encode anything of meaning.

= e2 80 99 (3 bytes)
’ = e2 80 99 (3 separate bytes)

@TDCN@feddit.dk avatar

What’s on my USB stick you ask… A bunch of random shit I haven’t touched for 8 years so I have no idea what it is and it’s probably outdated, but I’d be damned if that usb stick is not In my keychain because “I might need it one day”

SkaveRat , to fediverse in Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?

Masto admin here. Small instance. 20ish users. costs me about 1€ per user.

Most of the costs comes from media cache storage, so it would scale nicely if I had more users, but I want to keep it small

lemmyingly ,

Cost per month or year?

SkaveRat ,

month

tldr: Linux can have driver issues and programs or updates might not work as expected. So anything you can expect from any major OS.

Maeve , to lemmyshitpost in Temporary rule: No shitposts on vegan pets and feeding them.

So shit posting about vegans appears to still be acceptable. How about both vegans and omnivores just stop shit posting and each other. Something something whole world blind.

NABDad ,

Are obligate carnivores still ok to target?

You are not a regular user. My parents are regular users and they have been using Linux for years. They don’t know though. That’s a regular user.

I feel like I missed these completely. Does this mean no posting about rabbits etc?

Can I still feed beans to my non-vegan pets?
