  • I have /e/os. I decided on that pretty early on in my degoogling journey. Main reason being that I believe any privacy venture will come with tradeoffs, but I went with the "most things will work" approach. They have this neat privacy manager that tells you which trackers come from where, and I think that covers my needs. There has been exactly zero apps that haven't worked so far, and most people that use my phone just think it's a standard pixel.

    The app lounge kind of blows though. I use the F-Droid app for updating F-Droid apps instead of it, since there was some weird stuff about where they were getting open source apps from. I use it for the play store, and it does what it needs to, although there is some weirdness with it like not being able to tell which apps have recently updated and when. I like the idea of joining app repositories together, but it needs work.

    I find this effectively acts as "new" for small communities, and "hot" for big ones.

  • I think it looks great. Looking forward to it!

  • I knew I had good reason to hate HP laptops.

  • Science is only antithetical to religion if you define religion as only "blind superstition" or science as more than "a system of identifying expected outcomes of experiments".

  • I wish the gurps community was more active. I know there's the forum and that's where I find myself looking for stuff more often. But a community would be cool. I also admit I wouldn't have much to provide. I'm currently an enthusiast with plans to run a game, but zero experience.

  • Ah yes, call ICE on the immigrants "wokely"

  • Went here as a kid. All I remember is we bought some "corn jelly" which was surprisingly pleasant. Although I suppose most jelly is corn jelly nowadays.

  • It's probably not at all indicitave of social decay that there are at least 3 failed impeachment attempts every year.

  • The Dwarf Fortress effect.

  • May be unpopular, but I haven't found anything that works better than jerboa. It's maintained by the Lemmy devs. It's simple, open source, customizable.

  • Understand you'll probably lose a few grows. It's more or less inevitable. If the only reason you're getting into it is for "yield", you will burn out quickly. Keep a journal. Write down why you made the decisions you did. Experiment. Have fun with it.

  • That's the conclusion I'm coming to. Saw a lot of posts from self hosters happy they aren't affected by this. Figured there was some reason NOT to use Cloudflare (security, etc.). But it kind of just seems like a personal preference. Cloudflare has certainly had better uptime than all my services thus far 🙂

  • I use cloudflare for my DNS 🫤

  • I only have slskd, so I'm not sure if it's different, but folder structure should have artist > album, but outside of that it doesn't matter much. My folder names all contain musicbrainz ids for use in jellyfin, but I've had plenty of uploads.

  • Interesting. So when you query subscriptions, it actually queries everything and then filters it.

    I decided to look at the github for Lemmy and found this issue that seems to reflect what youre saying.

    I'm having flashbacks of avoiding table scans during my internship. 🙂

    Lemmy "Subscribed" page loads slower than "All"?

  • I can't explain how much I hate simulation theory. As a thought experiment? Fine. It's interesting to think of the universe in the context of code and logic. But as a driving philosophy of reality? Pointless.

    Most proponents of simulation theory will say it's impossible to prove the universe is a simulation, because we exist inside it. Then who cares? There obviously must exist a non-simulated universe for the mega computer we're all running on to inhabit, so it's a pointless step along finding the true nature if reality. It's stoner solipsism for guys that buy nfts. It's the "it was all a dream" ending of philosophy.

    It's kinda surprising you can still pick up online orders without speaking to the cashier
