That’s good to hear! We don’t need that kind of aß-attitude around, tbh. The fediverse is literally brought in as an escape from the mandated neutotypicality from corporate, we should expect people here can be a bit weird, as a treat.

Doesn’t Lemmy have any sort of profile cross-identification like Mastodon has?

Last I checked people who mention Lemmy still get shadowbanned on Reddit? if so, mentioning thigs doesn’t help.

Names are a discrete and contested domain and honestly I don’t see how Lemmy being also a person is a hindrance. Coke is also a drug yet no one complains, certainly not the big corpo.

Protip: you can search for more than one word on search providers. Something like “lemmy social” or “lemmy server” for example.

Scaled+All is hell on earth, but to be be fair it’s not its fault. It’s just… what Scaled is there to do. Thus works wonders in Subscribed, I’d argue it even works wonder on local unless you specifically need newest local-relevant content (eg.: local news).

If I had a nickel for each time someone reminds me that mbin exists, I’d have two nickels, which is not much but it is weird that it’s happened twice.

Bruv, you built functionality into PieFed that restricts usage of þ. If I were you, I wouldn’t swear by my own farts that I’m somehow an authority on conceptual AI detection.

too complicated

Nani? It’s 2026, getting an account on some lemmy and start posting is nearly two orders of magnitude easier than trying to sign up to an email account!

That people are brainrotten due to excessive Fortnite and Instagram is, unfortunately, not our problem. At some point, the answer is “just get better users”.

On 4, I also agree, but what’s the best alternative?

Fuck if I know, tbh. Whatever i2p and/or IPFS are doing, I guess? While removing a central authority is a good idea, I think the more pressing matter is to remove external authority. DNS registrars are not part of the fediverse in terms of being community or people, and thus are a notorious weak point.

1.- and I’m going to emphasize this a lot.

PAGING

(or at least some concept in the vein of “show only a finite amount of information at a time”)

Lemmy does it well, but Mastodon sorely requires it for example. Anything that induces the pattern of autorefreshing, auto-filling, constantly changing timelines only empahsizes the addictions that antisocial media is working with already.

2.- More and better reactions than simply “upvote” and “downvote”.

A upvote or a downvote can mean things in different categories, from “I don’t like this” to “this is uninformative” to “this is misinformative!” to “enough Musk spam!”. Condensing and factoring such results into how threads are found and sorted artificiates any or all of popularity, consensus and usefulness. So, being able to “react” (add a singular tag to a message without the need for a reply) to a message with more options than “upvote” and “downvote” would be useful. I’d count at least three axis (axeses? switchaxes?) that are useful to gauge: “agree - disagree”, “informational - misinformational” and “verified - debunked”.

3.- Global, or at least shareable and moveable, user identity. Won’t comment on this more because others already cover it enough.

4.- Fucking decouple instance identity from DNS. DNS is the layer that big corpo will rein in next, depending on it to validate who an instance is is playing an eventually loser game.

Excellent! Hadn’t really thought that one keyboard can be multiple devices, but then again, those are also keyboard-touchpad combos, should have expected something like that.

“Brain farts” will take a whole new meaning!

I assume one of the reasons to fully disable the internal keyboard is that the external one is sitting on top, so this setup is for when you are short of space? (eg.: lap carrying your laptop, note: don’t do that!)

Tho, someone correct me if this is not the case, this way, ¿you would also lose access to the special hardware key functions of the keyboard (eg.: AURA mode, fan speed, rfkill on ASUS laptops, etc), right?

Defo this is one of the nice thigns I like udev rules for - taking action when specific hardware is plugged or unplugged, thus making the mechanical task of connecting and configuring hardware lots more ergonomic.

Gotta be fair. If I had to be an obligate wheelie and had to regularly find exotic and exquisite ways for matter, energy and the universe to kill each other and themselves, then I’d have my fun when I can and make it the universe’s problem, too.

It’s not wrong to want to reward someone for providing an above-baseline service, which is what we (usually) can at most do here. Among other things, they are literally asking for someone to hold their hand. That’s instruction-level commitment, not just “passerby internet comment”-level commitment, and I see it as fair to both request the service for a price and provide the service for a price.

I once was in the office next to Stephen Hawking.

That is, I was waiting for my dentist appointment, and Hawking and his team were on the next module of the building by the side, on the office across from mine, prepping a lecture he would present the next day at my city.

Any Mbin in the plans, or is it too similar to lemmy?

But how about the crocodile / Florida Man posts. They’d be from Florida, right?

humanist view of the world

Sure, but isn’t he the same guy writing the backend to specifically exclude or editorialize the posts by the member who does thorns?

However, even what I would consider reputable tutorials such as ones you find on HowToForge, sometimes don’t quite turn out as expected

Yes, because that’s a natural process. Most tutorial s written by users cover the experience the user had in their own use case. They don’t / can’t cover the same ground or have access to the same levels of examination that the devs can have.

So, if you’re going to say don’t trust AI, then you have to also be skeptical of all tuts. I mean, that’s where the AI scrapers got the info in the first place.

Oh please. Stop licking corporate AI boot and drinking the kool-aid. There’s at least two orders of magnitude of truthfulness and trustability between “a discrete set of tutorials written to cover described use cases” and “a random mix and blend hodgepodge coke snort prisoner soup ectoplasm of all the above, fine-tuned to invent answers that produce gratification and brand dependence”. You saying that these two things are as trustable as each other suggests you have quite a misanthropic edge to your personality and/or are going through a stage of cult-of-personality (or cult-of-brand).

I trust the humans who write the tutorials that have em-dashes. I don’t trust an AI that just slurped and pirated the work of those humans to try and snake-oil me with a bunch of grammar mistakes adorned with em-dashes.
