Grumpy , to memes in Capitalism: expectation vs reality

Reality has all of them. But the quality competitors are expensive and this keeps it to a niche audience. Then you have the race to the bottom competition that does business in quantity over quality and likely the one you grab since you’re also likely to value price over everything else.

ArbitraryValue ,

always chooses the cheapest option

quality isn’t great

Capitalism is to blame!

rando895 ,

I mean, private ownership by those who don’t do the work or consume the product, yet get to make the decisions is to blame, yes. And that is capitalism by definition so… Capitalism is to blame…

They usually cut costs in unnoticeable for regular consumer way. Like include some chemistry that easy to produce and makes it tasty, but bad for health.

__init__ , to selfhosted in Open-source and self-hosted enterprise?

At home vs. for work are very different. At home, I self host as much as I can. At work, I use as many managed services as I can. Especially databases.

Whoa 🤔 I’m about a Devito and a half tall! (rounded up) That makes me feel strong!

I could probably lift two Devitos!

Whoever did this is an absolute legend.

Drusas , to asklemmy in Can anyone name some mysteries in stories where the answer ended up delivering and was better than the mystery itself?

A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul G. Tremblay comes to mind.

I don't know that the payoff is necessarily better than the mystery, but the show Dark is a great mystery story as well.

LainTrain , to piracy in Pirated copy of Photoshop getting shut down on its own?

I had the same issue just last week with a more recent copy of premiere I got. Just block all internet access in your firewall to Photoshop and it will go away.

nutomic , to fediverse in Request to lemmy: can you please allow non-latin letters as well
@nutomic@lemmy.ml avatar

I believe there is still an open issue on Github for this, but no one was interested to help implement and test it. So use the search function and contribute!

JubilantJaguar , to linux in I made a local APT repository that automatically fetches DEBs and AppImages from anywhere

Looks great, well done.

Personally, the deb-related annoyance that I have encountered most often in recent years is that there is an APT repo but I have to jump thru hoops to add it. An example is signal-desktop, where the handy one-click installation goes like this:


<span style="color:#323232;"># 1. Install our official public software signing key:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">wget -O- https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | gpg --dearmor > signal-desktop-keyring.gpg
</span><span style="color:#323232;">cat signal-desktop-keyring.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># 2. Add our repository to your list of repositories:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main' |
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># 3. Update your package database and install Signal:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
</span>

Why does Debian-Ubuntu not provide a simple command for this? Yes there is add-apt-repository but for some reason it doesn’t deal with keys. I’ve had to deal with this PITA on multiple occasions, what’s up with this?

Thanks, and agreed !

Fortunately, copy/pasting works and you only have to do it once.

That’s just how words work

PhlubbaDubba , to science_memes in Cucumber 🥒

There are some people in here who are weirdly obsessed with risking a yeast infection.

nBodyProblem ,

But bro

You could get yourself a yeast infection with 3000 year old yeast

PhlubbaDubba ,

Was talking more about how many people are insisting cucumbers and eggplants should actually be used like that

RoidingOldMan , to science_memes in Things that we hate

I call it, “Billy and the Cloneasaurus.”

Grass , to linux in Linux File System

it usually seems more like whatever distro doing things however they want rather than following any standard

Noodle07 , to books in What are you currently reading? (09/06/2024)

I’m back into my childhood reading the latest book in the eragon universe, Murtagh. It’s going well but I’m playing a bit too much video games to read. I have a nice edition with printed edges from my mom but I really want to get back to reading on my kindle.

nutomic , to fediverse in Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?
@nutomic@lemmy.ml avatar

I pay around 80€ per month for the lemmy.ml server, plus a few euros for image hosting and domain. So that’s around 3 cents per active user.

Blaze OP ,
@Blaze@feddit.org avatar

Thank you!

morrowind ,
@morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

that’s quite low. There must be a lot of barely active users

matcha_addict ,

Why is it low? Lemmy scales very well and isn’t resource intensive

morrowind ,
@morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s lower than every other number I’ve seen in this thread by far

matcha_addict ,

Are you sure? Check again. I didn’t scroll too far, but saw $6, $35, $20, $65 and $30. All are lower.

Blackmist ,

Looking at the domain name, they’re in Mali. Things must be cheap out there.
