    What is Lemmy and how to get started? (Megathread)

  • It actually tends to be the case that those instances will defederate with us rather than the reverse. Lemmygrad usually just bans individuals who wander in and post/comment in bad faith.

    Even though we are not a liberal instance, if liberals are engaging a topic in good faith, they are generally given responses meant to educate on why we hold the positions we do and what socialism is about. If it's obvious they are not engaging in good faith, they get shit on and usually end up banned.

  • The notable part is that it indicates sophisticated tool making behavior 600,000 years before we previously thought it occurred.

  • Root cause for why Windows 11 is breaking or corrupting SSDs may have been found

    Jump

  • Using windows is just so tiring. I shouldn't have to actively fight with the OS to do the things I need to do. Not even power user shit, it's just that the windows experience gets more and more hostile every year.

    Meanwhile, Linux quietly does what needs to be done, and offers to make it even easier to do those things, but only if I want that help.

  • Entomology: the party hard science

  • Come join chemists, we get 200 proof stuff and sometimes by the barrel!

  • Get an E-Bike

    Jump

  • No way the carbon footprint of buying a new E-bike is lower than me going to a local upcycling place, fixing up an old bike from the 1970s using spare parts, and using that as my daily driver.

    The logic of repairing and using an old beater car might work out on emissions, but not with acoustic bikes. There are a lot of assumptions being made in these calculations and there are a lot greener ways to acquire an acoustic bike than buying a new one from a store. Upcycling a bike will always be greener than a new one and the classic steel frames just keep going so long as you can find parts. I suspect their improved ergonomics over modern bikes also contribute to less human energy needed to drive them. I'm not really using significantly more calories biking to and from work than I am walking.

    Creative assumptions and manipulations of data to reach conclusions that are obviously misleading and likely incorrect without these manipulations. In the long term, replacement batteries for an E-bike will easily make the manufacturing emissions outweigh those of a new analog bike.

    I support more bikers and E-biking gets some people into it that otherwise wouldn't, but this reeks of attempting to justify and prop up tech in ways that it does not need and that will ultimately fuel more emissions in the long run. Better urban design and seasonal maintenance can largely offset the justification for needing an E-bike.

  • Can someone who can read music notation explain what I'm looking at here?

    Jump

  • I can't see where you are referencing, but is this what you mean by a dotted capital I?

    This is an eighth note rest (meaning don't play for the length of an eighth note). It's the only thing I could think of that looks similar to what you describe and replaces notes.

  • They want to feel like they are superior.

  • It means it's time to take that copier to pasture.

  • Can confirm, but if it wasn't him, they'd go out of their way to find someone just as bad.

  • hell yeah, i just rode my new bike across town and it's the longest ride I've been on in YEARS

    Jump

  • They said that owning a car would represent a sense of freedom, but it just feels like shackles. I posit that having a trusty bike is the actual symbol of freedom.

    No form of transportation provides more freedom than the bike.

  • Trump’s controversial homelessness solution? Blue states have done it for years.

  • Fuck, have you been spying on me? How did you perfectly quote my city council??

  • Naturally, the real solution is to build more luxury apartments and parking lots for the prospective tenants.

  • What made you join a losing cause?

    Jump

  • I want to live in a better world. You can't change the world (win) by giving up. You can't change the status quo easily and I can't live with myself if I do nothing.

    I don't think of them as "losing causes". While it's important to be realistic about the current state of your cause, framing it this way assumes they have already and permanently lost, so nothing can ever change. Assuming a mindset of defeatism is demoralizing even if it is only in the language you use.

  • The two types of people

    Jump

  • They do, but they are vestigial organs that aren't used any longer. Contemporary tigers use LIDAR to detect movement.

  • Which Linux?

    Jump

  • Kubuntu. KDE is great and has a lot of QoL/productivity features that should exist in windows. I go from work to home and it's like a breath of fresh air.

    KDE is very familiar coming from Windows.

  • Many post their articles on Researchgate. I find requesting the article there has a higher success rate and it's just a click of a button.

  • It's on your blood!

    Jump

  • Except that they used the chemicals that do find their way into everyone's blood to make nylon. So it tangentially fits the meme.

  • Hopeless Societies

    Jump

  • In my experience, the liberals will now say your source is incorrect/misleading/seeseepee propaganda for some unfalsifiable reason (their opinion) or they will immediately jump to racism and call the Chinese robots who cannot think for themselves.

    The first is typical online, the second offline, where there is no paper trail.
