Could make sense. If they're smart, they're trying to get a cut of the "exclusive Discord", patreon, Substack kind of money flow.

If they're wildly stupid, they'll try to take over and paywall popular existing subreddits.

Love the CEO sketches! And they're not even in the top five things Brennan has done, probably!

If you're a little clever with interpolation, you don't need to run at 1000s of frames per second! You'd just calculate how much time after the last frame it would take to cross the line at the last known speed and position.

You're right-- I am in the States, but your input is still welcome!

I don't have an Awesome Socks subscription, but I do have a Sun Basin Soap one with good.store! I like Daydreamer, even though it sorta reminds me of allspice (and therefore chicken).

Thanks for the input, all! I've had a bunch of the more 'obvious' ones down, but there are a few that I hadn't heard of (like CASA and Feeding America, who I have 'equivalents' to but will likely diversify out to), or hadn't thought to contribute to (Propublica, UNHCR). Good stuff, everybody.

 

What are your favorite charities? What do you regularly give to? I have some empty space in my "secular tithing" budget that I'm looking to fill in.

On the other hand... Super Duper Key.

Without substantial growth after being cut off from the activity of the fediverse, Beehaw would not be large enough to stave off serious atrophy. The lemmy/kbin end of the fediverse is already very slow to begin with.

Had syncthing gotten better? When I tried it like... Years ago before moving to the more centralized Nextcloud, it has a habit of "restoring" files I had deleted from the other instances.

Yeah, between the image compression and resolution, a lot of things that should be 'gaps' in the letters are closing up. Like, the 's' in 'psuedorandom' or 'set' looks like a squished-up 'g'.

I can read individual words as I'm looking at them, but I've lost the ability to scan the line and parse words in my peripheral vision.

Multiple monitors, touch screens, tablet digitizers remain a letdown constantly. Not always fully broken, but falling just short enough that actually fixing it is a pain and just living without the feature (or Linux) is easier.

Despite being an ECE major, I didn't really bother doing anything with Linux until two things happened at the same time:

  1. I started having to work in several different build environments that were just easier to set up in Linux
  2. I started running Minecraft servers/doing server modding (starting back in the days of Hey0's server mod and carrying up through Bukkit).

I wouldn't call myself an evangelist at all. If you're doing something that I think will be specifically easier to do in Linux (mostly servers and specific kinds of software development), I'll point out how... but I find that a lot of people's advice on "use Linux and X FOSS tool" ends up being akin to giving someone bike shopping advice on which welding torch to use to construct their bicycle frame.

I've moved to Ubuntu after getting burned pretty badly with CentOS's getting mistreated and eventually killed. Ubuntu feels stable enough, both in terms of their updates/quality and in terms of their corporate proceedings (such that I won't get absolutely blasted by mandatory repos being closed down, for example).

 

Phones are getting better support lives these days, but they still physically outlast their software support. How important is that safety net/blanket for you?

 

My profile currently shows that I've made 1 post and 11 comments, which tracks with what I remember doing, but only two of those comments (and no post) seem to be showing up in my profile when I view it. Has anyone else had part of their lemmy history vanish into the ether?

 

Basically 2.5 minutes of condensed free association.
