There isnt much discourse to be had when everyone on here already agrees, and I don’t mean I miss right wing voices. Just that I dont need to talk about politics with people who think virtually exactly the same as me about these things.
Yes. There’s little or no novelty here. I’m not surprised by something new or interesting. I get a lot of nostalgia hits because we’ve all experienced similar things.
if I get banned from one instance then I can make a new account in some instance too?
Yes. You can always create a new account on a different instance.
We progressives are great at purity tests. IMO it’s part of the reason big tent populists do better than us.
Eff you turds for downvoting objective fact you anti-intellectual turds. I’m as progressive and anti-corporate as it gets, you undereducated morons.
Lemmy can suck like that. If you post something that can be misconstrued outside of our tiny Overton window, you get downvotes. Lots and lots of downvotes.
I get eye aches pretty quickly without enough light. I find I need light behind and around my monitor otherwise I get soreness.
A single light in the ceiling, controlled by a wired switch next to the door.
When I want light, I want a lot of it; when I want dark, I want complete darkness.
It autorenews and it’s relatively expensive.
I wouldn’t do that DNA test, because it’s really sensitive data.
WikiTree is a free alternative to the genealogical database. The genealogy nerd in my life says that its data is a bit better. Ymmv.
Who asked the glass?
In the 90s it was seen as a backwater with growing power. There was a sense that China’s economic growth would push it towards democracy. Tiananmen Square seemed like proof of that.
Don’t leave them hanging! Where can they find this “Lemmy” that you speak of?
Give it a shot!
Rust can be a real pain in the ass: it’s like having to solve mini logic puzzles as you’re writing your code. At best, it’s fun, at worst, it’s a distraction and source of frustration.
You can always stop the rewrite if you discover you don’t like Rust.
Rust has no runtime but somehow forces you to manage memory well. Idk how.
You tell the compiler which part of your code is responsible for each chunk of memory. Then the compiler gives you errors when you don’t respect that. Roughly.
What’s the other one?
I didn’t use any of the original Metro UIs, but Square Home looks and behaves the way I expect.
The config interface is definitely clunky, but I’ve been able to get what I want.
Square Home. I think I had to pay $3 for lifetime access to some features. It’s worth it, IMO. Has widget support and a few other nice features.
I’m using it as a skin on my Android device now. It’s a great UI. But it was built for an unwanted platform.

most of the people here will actually argue in favor of it
On Lemmy? This is the place that’s jazzed for GrapheneOS releases so they can degoogle their phone. We go on and on about private messenger apps, Proton, running non-corporate OSes, and privacy. Most of us are here because we don’t like the shitty direction Reddit is taking.
I think you can make the argument that generally people are ambivalent about privacy, but Lemmy is a definite exception to that rule.
We’re all here for entertainment. This isn’t news or information about the real world, it’s a hypothetical that’s asking for your advice.
If it’s fake, it’s a fun thought experiment.
If it’s real, it’s a fun thought experiment.

Dude has probably been planning it for months.
Hey fellow Canadian. I pay about the same. Looking at these other responses, I think we’re getting screwed.
