I would be inclined to agree with you if they didn’t get rid of Premium Light. I think charging users for avoiding ads is completely reasonable, we live in a Capitalist country and video hosting isn’t cheap. Even still, axing Premium Light shows a desire to screw over users in order to achieve more profit, which in my mind makes YouTube scummy.

I completely agree. I’m personally holding off on heavy promotion of this platform until we hit 1.0. If people join too early and are turned off by the lack of polish, they may not come back after it’s fixed.

I think the idea behind this is to spend your entire life alternating between periods of work and retirement. It’s definitely an idea I could get behind, though society now is not built for it.

For me it’s because I don’t use it very often, mostly just archiving stuff every few months or so.

Thanks for answering your own question, this is useful information.

I like the dashes, they make the options look like options to me.

I understand and sympathize with Rob on a spiritual level.

The copy, pasting, cutting, and moving features have improved significantly but I will admit it’s still not perfect.

I personally use Xournal++. It’s a really nice app and is FOSS.

I hadn’t heard of it either, this is super useful! It’s funny the things you’ll find just around the place on Lemmy.

It’s really cool they’re considering a Mac version of Proton, it shows to me a more genuine attempt to improve the gaming ecosystem than I’d expect from most companies.

I switched to Linux last year, and have been having a mostly smooth single-player experience. It’s not perfect, but the improvements that have been made in Linux gaming (in large part by Valve) are undeniable.

Another thing I don’t see people talking about much is canned food. Almost all canned food is precooked or otherwise sterilized, and it takes years to expire when the can is left sealed. While cold ravioli isn’t the most satisfying meal, it will fill your stomach without making you sick.

I’m not speaking from personal experience, but according to some family members in the U.S. military they still suck here, at least in terms of flavor.

As an online moderator I’m biased, but I’d say usually allies with occasional hard adversaries. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like power, but ultimately even knowing that it’s your responsibility as a moderator to enforce the community will, keep out the riff-raf, and ban toxic elements. I think most mods understand this, but there are a notable handful that turn toxic and turn the communities into a personal playground, and those types of people need to be kept as far away from any sort of power as possible.

It really is. Once you get all the services running and configured correctly, they just chug along happily without being touched.

Docker’s honestly really easy to use, is there anything specifically challenging you about it? I’d be happy to explain how any of it works or how to use its features.

I’m currently hosting a Lemmy instance, I started work on it Friday and finished getting it fully running today. It honestly depends on whether or not you want it to be public, as that will determine the amount of resources you put into it. For a personal instance, I think there are relatively few downsides, Lemmy is fairly light in terms of consumption and as long as you have dynamic DNS service you can fairly easily get it running on a home server. For a public instance, especially one hosted on the cloud like mine, it’s considerably more labor and a bit more expensive, but still worth it my opinion. So either way go for it, just be aware of your goals going into it.
