Ah, I was just about to reply with this ^. “Sleep, the poor man’s dinner”, I have that burned into my head from We Happy Few

This looks so good and is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been searching for. I used to eat buffalo chicken + mac and cheese all the time and I was like, surely it must be possible to do similar with tofu, it’s mostly just batter and hot sauce anyways, but I’ve never found anywhere that does anything like that

Slightly off-topic but recently I saw a bunch of these under the rayshader tag on mastodon, seems like https://fosstodon.org/@terence posts a lot of them if you want to check some out (edit: I might want to clarify that they are likely generated based on data rather than photos from space, though)

I just switched from linux mint to lmde 6 as well and it does feel very much the same cinnamon-y DE I left. The only difference so far is I had to install nvidia drivers myself as it doesn’t seem to come with a driver manager like mint did. I’ve gotten everything else I used so far set up fine but… I guess I haven’t tried gaming yet which I guess might be important to check out, will have to soon

To get an impression of the direction they will be taking, their Lemmy post discussing the archetypes of people who might use PostFreely.

This sentence sort of reads like there was a link expected to be in it, but I could be mistaken. I think I found it here.

I hate to say it but I think it’ll happen here too. I imagine it’s just a people thing we can’t get away from. Already I predicted a: “Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords…” before opening a thread. I guess also since most users may be from reddit it’s bound to end up happening.

I would sort of expect it to be the stuff we struggle to get rid of, like fungi and weeds. So maybe mushrooms and dandelions? This is just a wild guess, and obviously you couldn’t live off them forever.

Or am I missing something?

I think the only distinguishing factor is to target, it must gather data. So that means your activity is being tracked, stored, and shared with third parties. Of course for some people this will matter more than to others, but for those privacy focused you now know for certain they are storing data on you, potentially making money off of selling it, with no way to opt out.

To add to scytale’s description, it’s a fork of misskey that was formerly known as calckey

Maybe it’s a focal length difference? Example

I found this which has registrations and posts for mastodon / fediverse over hour / day / week / month but it breaks it out by instances so can be a bit difficult to tell overall. Here’s mastodon in the last 7 days for example.

Wait, what? I need more information. You probably mean loose leaf but I guess you could just cut open a used bag? But surely that’s like, one bag a month or something. I drink like 6 cups of tea a day, how long does it take before you can add more? (I had this problem with composting when I learned I could add like a small peel per week and I was like… I generate 10x that per day.)

One thing I’ve been told in the past is that with public voting records you at least get an idea of if brigading is happening, where it’s coming from etc. Though maybe that’s just a giant list of randomly generated usernames but if it’s coming from a single instance there are at least actions to take from that.

Definitely curious to see if we experience waves similar to how mastodon does every time elon says something stupid. I’m not sure we will, though. With the entire reddit gold thing I was expecting people to throw their arms up about the reversal of stuff people paid money for but it seems like they just accepted it and moved on. Perhaps the people that remain will stay there no matter what. Regardless I think how things are going here are still promising.

I bounced to mint cinnamon as soon as this was announced. I miiggghhhtttt switch to arch as cinnamon hasn’t quite made me feel like I’m able to do what I want, but I plan to at least try LMDE before that

Depends on if gaining a yogurt eating habit is defined as being a better person or not xP

I do think your heart is in the right place trying to find and discuss engagement issues in the threadiverse. That’s obviously been a common complaint people have posted about and I can see you believe strongly about this.

I think I just disagree with the issue at hand, or at least that there is a single one and that this solves it. To give an anecdotal example: I make a post around every day on kbin.social that gets 0 likes, 0 dislikes, and 0 comments, in other words no engagement. You might say this is due to it being difficult to find! Well, it actually is! So much so because it doesn’t even federate out to lemmy.world, lemm.ee, fedia.io, etc. I check remote instances and my posts never federate anywhere. If you look at my profile from your instance, lemmy.world, it would seem I barely have any posts, but on my home one I have quite a few.

This is just one example of course, but from my perspective, the major issues we have right now are technical ones, and I’d like to see those fixed before trying to focus on social ones.

Mastodon solved this with an Explore-Feed, which consolidates the Local- and All-Feed

Can you please explain what that means for non-mastodon users. As far as I know about lemmy, which granted isn’t much, local posts are not hidden from all, meaning it already is a consolidated local and all feed.

Personally, I didn’t agree with your previous post and I don’t agree with this. I believe instance owners can run their instance however they wish, they’re the ones paying and maintaining it. If it’s not suited to your tastes, there are other places to look at. If an instance wants to federate with no one or hide all remote posts or anything, that is their choice to run the software that way. People aren’t locked in jail cells making decisions with no information of the outside world. Nor are the defaults they set locked either, I just bookmark “hot” and “sub” and go to those every time, regardless of what the homepage has set.

I have a metal coffee table that I tap every time I get up. Maybe something similar if not that, like an end table next to your couch?

The latest drivers on mint, 535, cause flickering on my monitors. There are a bunch of posts about this; when I installed them when they came out my screens went black and never recovered, had to power off manually, and then the top part of my monitors would just flicker every 15-30 seconds. I rolled back to 525, and now that it had been a couple months I had just tried to upgrade again recently but the problem remains, black screen, reboot, flickering.
