Right? I just opened my computer and found a mess of wires and these weird boards that look like miniature cities jammed in there. That would make great storage space. I think I'll just rip them o
literally this. i see a lot of mods of niche communities working their ass off trying to generate content with 0 help, including me. and all people do is complain that they aren’t doing enough, it’s not active enough, while doing nothing to help it grow.
be the change you want to see. contribute to your communities, especially niche ones.
I told my friend about your community. Also the whole infosec instance since he does infosec, and that seems like it might be a good local feed… idk if it’s up his alley, but hopefully!
Solarpunk for tech? I dig it. I followed the community, you seem to really care about it, and while I don’t understand a lot of what you posted, I dig it.
I’ll try to participate when I can, but I can’t promise a whole lot. :)
Awesome! I’m clawing back more time from work and working towards some open source hardware and software stuff. Will be fun to post once I have things underway. Mostly, I’m aiming at free and open FPGA libraries and actually useful AR/mobile computing stuff that fits in with the positive technological side of cyberpunk, rather than the dystopian. Absolutely want to dig into doing LoRa at some point as well, myself.
EDIT: Just realized that I misread the community name but, I’m still into it.
The implication is not that it doesn’t pay well, it’s that it’s dangerous and very hard on your body. Work as a construction worker till your 50 (if you don’t die in an accident before then) and your body will hate you for it
Maybe I’m a dork, but I think“correlation does not equal causation” is actually a good thing to keep in mind.
I’m reminded of it every time a news story says something is “linked” to something else. I hate it when the word “linked” is used in this way. It’s often lazy journalism and/or a scare tactic. Saying that two things are “linked” implies a stronger relationship than may actually exist. I find it deliberately misleading.
Almost everything on the picture is a good thing to keep in mind. But the creator of the meme depicted it as a thought of a soyjack so there is nothing can be done, we now should abandon that logic entirely.
Also that construction worker: has bad back, bad knees, arthritic hands and skin cancer at age 42
Don’t get me wrong the trades are amazing for a kid to get into right out of school, and they’re critically necessary. But don’t be expecting to make a lifelong career out of it, because it is absolutely hard on your body. Do it for 5 years max and move up to management.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being a construction worker. It's a super important and useful career. But it is hard work and it'll chew you up, then you're left not being able to work at all.
There are less intense trades. Sure, a bricklayer and drywaller is gonna be hurting after ten years, but telco, electronic security, automation, and fire alarm trades are quite sustainable and offer technical challenges often to keep things interesting. You just need to be okay with heights. We use scissor lifts quite a bit.
Iirc, lemmy.ml is a specifically leftist instance, right? They may have banned the word because of its sexist nature. A bit like allowing fuck, but not allowing the other f word that generally applies to gay men. Swearing isn’t the issue, slurs or derogatory terms are.
I will be the only person to agree and not suggest an app!
Unless there’s some fantastic game-changing functionality provided by the app, I’m fine with the webpage. I have a pi-hole at home that further enhances the “no ads” experience.
I didn’t use an app on reddit, either - old.reddit only! I left reddit and joined lemmy because fuck spez!
Using Jerboa I get infinite scroll and a more usable layout. The website works ok, but there’s lots of room for improvement.
All the stuff at the top on lemmy web page gets turned into buttons on the top and bottom of my phone that I don’t have to scroll up for. Vote buttons are big enough to hit easily. Titles flow on top of Images so I see more than a thumbnail without tapping.
Well stop doing your part. Stop interacting with Reddit. They are almost certainly doing Place right now just to boost their numbers and you’re falling for it
