If we get a Ukraine post to the top of r/all, maybe congress will approve another $2b in “aid” for the bottomless money pit wholesome chungus war effort!!
Yay!!! Meaningless action!!! Putin’s gonna be so mad that he can’t win over a bunch of internet users!!! If we keep this up, Putin’s gonna dissolve Russia!!! So keep updooting!!! You are totally contributing to the cause!!!
If 200,000 people would rather figure out how to make all their individual forum softwares work together in synchrony than put up with your bloody app, Reddit, maybe you have a pretty shitty app?
Dunno. I never installed it coz I never install any apps if I can help it, and I know how to use a web browser. But if a quarter of a million people would rather subject themselves to the complexities of distributed information networks and the politics of inter-instance blocking than use your bloody app, Reddit, maybe you have a pretty shitty app?
It's like the kids today don't know what a web address is with their obsession with apps. They seem to prefer to download an executable than read a text document. If even them, a million zoomer kids who are normally obsessed with apps, if even they would rather entertain the idea of a communications commons not owned and controlled by oligarchs than use your app, then maybe you should have just used yer IPO money to buy Apollo?
Dunno. I've never installed either. Sounds sketchy. I distrust apps.
Yeah. I am getting great suggestions, but also a lot of hard truths. I think a basic paid email is probably less than I would ever pay to get the setup right.
I had the same journey but I’m pretty sure I found Slashdot by way of boingboing which I found by way of Diesel Sweeties blog posts when I first got a DSL connection in 2002 and was looking for comics and blogs to fill up my trendy new RSS reader lol
I do agree with you, had no idea people disliked Voyager whe. I first watched it, and I overall enjoyed it very much. Yeah, the show has a bunch of out there episodes, but they tried new things and all great star trek shows have their good share of wacky episodes.
It’s not even like it doesn’t have good criticism points, Kes character was very mishandled and her relationship with Neelix was terrible, he becomes a 1000% more likable once she’s gone, and Chakotay whole botched native American heritage disaster… (Which granted, they tried, they just sucked at finding a specialist)
And Tuvix is one of the topics that guarantees a philosophical discussion in any star trek group I’m in without fail. I pretty firmly hate Tuvix, but that’s power.
I’m mad at Reddit so I’m going to create my own reddit that works the exact same way. You can post, make subreddits, like and comment, everything. The only problem is I only have a userbase of 10 people. There’s kind of a catch 22 with maintaining a userbase on social media: if I don’t have enough users, no one will want to join, so I’ll have even fewer users.
One thing that can help is the fact that you have your own separate reddit clone that also has 10 users. We can work together and make our websites compatible with each other and speak the same language. Now my users can see your subreddits and posts and interact with your users like there’s nothing separating them. A community emerges of 20 people that transcends the boundaries of the individual websites.
Now say we take our code, call it Lemmy, and post it for free on the internet so anyone can copy it and make their own reddit clone to add to the network. These are all separate websites, called instances, but since they speak the same language (ActivityPub), all the users can interact with each other.
Running on a minisofurm mini pc with 5600h, paid $219 and used spare drives and ram lying around. Used to run 2 raspberry pi 4s but retired those due to updating home assistant via docker getting really old. Proxmox handles things great, like the flexibility and performance boost too, especially just pulling docker images lol, unarchiving was so painful on pi 4.
I’m interested, but I don’t know Rust and haven’t done frontend work in years. Might be able to do some work around scalability and contribute to a Kubernetes deployment guide (and/or Helm chart).
I honestly had a blast learning Rust. Haven’t gotten a chance to do much with the language but it definitely shifted the way I think about coding in general.
ELI5? McDonald’s and Burger King. One has a Big Mac, the other a Whopper. One has red and yellow, the other red and blue. Either way, you’re getting a burger.
Oh, they’re also right next to each other so you can wave to the people in Burger King from McDonald’s and vice versa. Now everyone is enjoying burgers together.
