This is a great perspective. I have definitely fallen into this meme’s sentiment many times. You have to remind yourself that it doesn’t matter.

JavaScript is super fun when you’re just a kid building a hobby website.

I’ve seen The Fellowship of the Ring more times med than I can count. I love the whole trilogy, but Fellowship is my favorite.

In 2005 I bought an inexpensive black-and-white HP laser jet for $99. To this day it still prints flawlessly after sitting idle for months or years. The toner never “dries out” or goes bad. Nor have I ever once needed to print in color. If I ever do, I’ll go to a print shop.

I think I’m on my 3rd toner cartridge since 2005. Highly recommend.

How has he not been forced out of Tesla yet? Does he spend any time with them at all?

No coding at work! Only meetings! What do you think we’re paying you for?

Yes, you are right. And I proofread it and still missed it.

Companies have been gorging themselves at the free buffet of open source software for a long time. But now the party is ending and many things that used to be free are no longer free for enterprise use.

You know, there are actually a lot of lousy surgeons out there. Usually not at major hospitals, but at very small, rural, or poor hospitals. These hospitals struggle to attract talent, and these surgeons have usually left better positions in disgrace. It’s a match made in hell.

And that’s why corporate media will always suck.

Does this feature help our users? Yes, but does it make us more money? No. So we’re not doing it.

I have not looked into it or anything, but I think a tumblr alternative would do very well on the fediverse. I think it could even be better for self-hosting than Lemmy.

Almost everything looks dumb on tv if you know what to look for. Almost everything related to guns, computers, or driving looks ridiculous and fake. It doesn’t stop them from doing it, nor does it stop people from enjoying the entertainment.

Wow! I love the colors!

One of the reasons I used a throwaway email here.

Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used “new” Reddit or the official app. Quit and uninstalled Apollo a few days before the 1st.

Lemmy feels like home. And the fediverse concept is super interesting to me.

Excellent!

Me neither!

Fantastic!

Agreed. It sounds to me like lemm.ee is in good hands.

I think it’s natural that there should be a small collection of large, production-class instances that host the vast majority of users. The important point is that there are more than a few, and certainly more than one.

I also think it is important for instance admins to lay out their plan for how they intend to host and fund an instance if they intend to be production-class.

We also need some kind of account backup and migration tool so that if an instance goes down, those users can easily recover on another instance.
