Just because it isn’t capable of causing any meaningful change doesn’t mean it’s useless.
I see a lot of folks on .ml and .hexbear not understand this part. It’s like all change must be meaningful, and if it’s not then it’s not worth our time.
Lenin taught us that we need to build within the system of the masses in order to tip them over, not overturn it outright. There is a specific time and place for when change is the most impactful
The “g” in “doing” on the left side of the artwork is backwards.
Could be other artifacts that don’t seem right
Ngl, been waiting to see more back and forths from the both of you!
We have to break through liberals’ woke mind virus someday /s
Is that not Kubuntu?
KDE Plasma + Ubuntu = Kubuntu?
If the EU doesn’t also pursue Open Source Hardware (OSH), then vulnerabilities will still exist.
FOSS or FLOSS is good, but OSH should be with it side by side.
KDE Plasma on Ubuntu is a dream!!!
Washington State does this well too. Almost every bin you see, from downtown Seattle to upstate near Victoria to Mount Rainier, everything is separated by trash, metal, and paper
Welcome in! Enjoy your stay.
All I’ll say is that Lemmy is smaller than Reddit, so naturally a lot of convos default to politics and tech.
Because of that though, you’ll be exposed to potentially new ideas regarding both. So be open minded! But also know that you can block users, communities, and instances if you find them unbearable.
Cheers
It’d be great if more and more companies packaged their foods through EcoEnclose or similar.
It’d be even better if this was made default by legislation that eliminates the need for good will.
Fair
How would you make it better?
Welcome!
Some tips:
You can block other users, other communities, and other instances yourself; you don’t have to wait for the mods or admins to do that for you
If a mod or an admin of an instance choose to block certain things that you disagree with, you can sign up for another instance with your same name, assuming nobody’s taken it; you won’t be able to transfer your comments, votes, or posts though; there’s been feedback given to the Lemmy devs about this
Search by Everything and Active to see new posts show up in your feed daily
There’s lots of diverse opinions on Lemmy, but they tend to concentrate around politics and tech; maybe consider starting your own community or instance if there’s something here you want to see!
To use the Discord analogy, Lemmy instances are Discord communities, Lemmy communities are Discord channels, and users are just users; we’ll often write c/Whatever to refer to a community, but due to the Federated nature of Lemmy, you may find a community like c/Politics on multiple instances (like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml); not sure if the Lemmy devs have a fix for this
That’s exactly what I was referencing haha, tried to make the analogy work. Might need to smooth out the edges in a few places
This sounds like the GDP meme:
Two programmers are coding in a terminal when they come across a board of scrum tasks.
The first programmer says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to vibe code that task.” The second programmer takes the $100 and vibe codes the scrum task using their favorite AI.
They continue coding until they come across a code review from the senior dev, rejecting the pull request. The second programmer turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to clean up that vibe code”. The first programmer takes the $100 and cleans up the vibe code, using actual skill and no AI.
Coding a little more, the first programmer looks at the second and says, “You know, I gave you $100 to vibe code, then you gave me back the same $100 to clean it up. I can’t help but feel like we both just used AI for nothing.”
“That’s not true”, responded the second programmer. “We fed the AI our code so it would be even smarter next time!”
Narrator: it never did and will never get smarter.
I doubt they’ll be fixing anything since they seem to have stopped selling them.
Pine64 stopped selling the PinePhone Pro due to a lack of demand.
The regular PinePhone is still being sold, although a lack of a “Pro” qualifier certainly doesn’t help their optics of producing a competent phone at today’s standards.
Yeah, as I alluded to at the end of my post, Pine64 has a lot of issues with making their devices actually useful.
They base a lot of their development on the community though. So if the community isn’t up to it, then virtually no one at Pine64 is.
My next phone will be a Linux phone.
I was on board the Fairphone hype, and while I think they have a good message, I actually think Pine64 does exactly what they do - just without the flashy marketing. Fairphone still uses AOSP as the basis for their OSes, so there is still a risk of hardware lockout by Google. This is leaving alone other issues like no headphone jack and USB 2.0 for the latest generation’s USB-C.
This is actually the same reason I think Ecosia won’t succeed in the long term unless they build their own search engine. Luckily it looks like they’ve already started delivering results as of last month.
I should also mention that the PinePhone isn’t Scott free from criticism either. Think I read somewhere that the camera is borked because the latest firmware or software update messed with the camera module functionality. No real fix for that soon, which sucks.
2nd Ventoy. I dual boot on my Steam Deck and switched from Ubuntu Gnome to Kubuntu via Ventoy on my Framework.
Anything to cope, and bury rebellion assent
