Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.
  • While I understand someone not agreeing with the way some instance or community is managed, I see value in different opinions.

    Lemmy is great for exactly this purpose, we can have different instances and are able to be exposed to different ideas.

    I can not understand the need of some people to limit their exposure to different ideas.

    Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leave
  • They obviously have too many people and are asking them to leave.

    If they were without options, they would offer more money or would change work conditions for better. They will not disapear.

    Netflix raises prices as password boost fades
  • Just idea that they expect growth where there is none is strange. This business are at the limit and have no way to grow faster than economic situation of many people around the world gets better.

    Sad part is fir them it is better to destroy service trying to increase growth in meaningless ways, than to just find a way to keep the business that is working.

    Idea of infinite growth is ruining us.

    Stack Overflow Survey: 80% of developers are unhappy
  • But that is always happening. Software that now can be built by two programers needed IBM few decades ago, just because of hardware, languages, available libraries and shared knowledge.

    But we still have so many "app ideas" that there is more work to be done. I would be happy to have AI write all those apps that I need and have no time or money to make them.

    My conclusion is that it is only about money and economy. We are in unofficial recession so everyone is cutting costs, as soon as money comes back we will go back into bulking/exploration phase.

    Google & Facebook partner admits it can listen to device microphone to serve ads
  • We all had experience with ads showing up after we talked in person with someone about topic. I don't need some random person ir media telling me something obvious is happening. And for some time already.

    How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"?
  • It is very hard, time consuming and boring to iron out those finishing issues in any software product. You need team of people being paid for that.

    When doing it for fun, I just go until it works and until it is fun. As soon as I come to those last 20% I never touch it anymore.

    So ai doubt it will happen until more companies start paying decelopera to do it. But I don't see the business model in that, so I doubt it will get better fast.

    Looking for a system/application language that is better than C/C++
  • I don't know about game dev, buy SerenityOS guys are flirting with Swift.

    If it wasn't from Apple, I would be all over it. They basically took different languages and most of C++ devs made fastest advance in Swift. Rust I do like and support, but is too confusing for amout of free time I have.

    Is The United State Fighting A Proxy War?
  • I don't see it as OP equated Ukraine to Palestine, just theoretizes that there is common other side in those conflicts and that reasons for those wars are not what we think they are.

    Interesting idea, but I don't see it.

    Volvo gives up plan to sell only EVs by 2030
  • Amount of batteries needed is not solved problem.

    EU has around 250 million cars, with 10-15 million sold every year. Even best future mines have lithium for around 1 million cars per year and those batteries last about ten years.

    Sodium Ion might give us a chance if we invest in technology.

    How do we get "normies" to adopt the Fediverse?
  • Every social media has the same problem, reddit is on one side, twitter on the other, facebook is filtering by their own goals.

    People here are just a bit different angle. But each instance is a little different, lemmy.world is more reddit like, lemmy.ml is leftist, hexbear is... something too, there are probably some right wing instances. Much more diverse than other networks and I enjoy seeing all those different point of views.

    This is current problem in society that we don't tolerate different opinion.

    What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?
  • We learned to hate "algorithm" but those can actually be good if creator wants to help us insted of manipulate us.

    Without a friendly algorithm to help us, we have no chance in finding our way around all this information around us.

    What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management?
  • Those are only .md files, I guess any text editor will open them.

    Yeah, no reminders and tasks, but notes should be accessible from anything and git can sync it. Never tried it, but text files were the reason I choose zim in the first place. I want it simple.

    What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management?
  • Zim Wiki https://zim-wiki.org/

    Desktop wiki, saving to .md text files, can commit to git repo and has basic task handling.

    Perfect for me.

    Zim can be used to:

    Keep an archive of notes
    Keep a daily or weekly journal
    Take notes during meetings or lectures
    Organize task lists
    Draft blog entries and emails
    Do brainstorming

  • I have done stuff by myself they in anybtime before yt would need someone to show me.

    Whem car mechanic tells me I have problem on my car I can find yt on how to detect it and how to solve it. I don't get knowledge to do it, but I can definitely appreciate their work more and not think they are just ripping me off.

    It is amazing what we have and take for granted.

  • While some of us had it turned on for some time, some didn't. Looks like it is fully stable now.

    Yey! Test it by starting intel_gpu_top and than playing video in firefox, if row "Video" goes over 0.0% it is working!

    ``` intel-gpu-top: Intel Coffeelake (Gen9) @ /dev/dri/card0 - 921/ 925 MHz; 38% RC6 1.78/10.41 W; 813 irqs/s

    Of course, you need second monitor, it goes down to 0 if video is not visible, since Firefox is not rendering it.
