If you think about it, being a nobody is the best thing you could be. You are not drawing attention to yourself, you are living in harmony with the environment. That’s pretty cool. Breathtaking, even! :)

Guys, if you have asthma, ignore Lemmy at all costs. Everyone’s breathtaking.

Rust the memory safe programming language? Hell yeah!

What r/photoshopbattles is doing seems to be better than going private, imo. The mods are only accepting new posts of black images. Yup, just the color black, in support of the blackout.

Of course, not every other subreddit (going public) is as based.

i3 gang rise up!

I’ve only tried i3 and it just works, so I stuck with it. After learning the hotkeys it never seems to get in the way (at least for my usage). Riced it a bit. Then some polybar sparkled in there. A wallpaper. What more can a guy want?

Here you go. There are others, but I used this one.

I hear that. Gentoo also allows you to do local patches. Had to do that once for gdb (don’t ask) and was surprised how easy it was. Very cool system. Would recommend.

I heard gentoo is HOT! Which contributes to the acceleration of global warming… OMG, I need to use Arch again… nooooo. :( Guys, I’ve decided. It’s okay to have conflicting environmental and sysadmin ideologies at the same time.

I have. Found a tool on Github that edited and deleted every comment or post I did and then deleted the account. So, the nuclear option. My account may not have had much contributions, but it was an honest account of 5 years.

Personally, whatever revenue they make up in ads, they should instead ask for it in subscriptions. That would remove the incentive to promote engagement via whatever means necessary (resulting in hatred promotion and false catchy titles, to the detriment of the user), and weed out spammers. Of course, if they do that, user count will plummet. But I really don’t like what they are doing now.

Me thinks open source is the future.

Power to the people!

Life is full of cycles. Every beginning has an end. And we are currently in a new beginning.

Years ago I would be heartbroken. So many good communities lost. So many posts erased. But this is for the better, I think. This time, let’s rebuild those same communities stronger, and better.

Open-source is the future, and I’m willing to invest my time on it.
