Interesting so I guess they update the almanac when a leep second is preformed

Yeah but they said all clocks so all the sats would still be in sync just like we had a leep second it would just be a leep minute.

Yes but we should still make them pay for every inch they take.

That what makes it so cringe that they want that with arch.

Or just use Startpage.com directly

Well also on reddit there was a lot of Psyops shit going on with accounts being puppeted. By one org or another to manipulate the discussion. Reddit is a bigger target for that kind of shit. Lemmy gets the benefit like Linux used to have of being too small on the desktop side to be a target for the most part.

Yeah I’m glad it works for you but at that point you are using lemmy like a RSS feed reader and at that point just use an RSS feed reader. But my point was trying to explain the lack of engagement that drives more content. Sometimes the post is secondary to comments in some cases.

Thank you op is lame but I’m glad I checked their moronic post for your comment this is awesome bookedmarked.

You are also asuuming reddit was the default for a person coming to lemmy and that still doesn’t explain the multiple communities created as clones becase the familiarity gets flipped on its head becase the person coming from reddit that would appeal to goes. It looks like reddit has the same name as my favorite subreddit. Why doesn’t it work just like reddit? Then they say screw this I’m going back to reddit and thus you haven’t dead communities hanging off of lemmy like a tumor. Hell the /c/name is not even shown in clients when you search it’s the display name. So that makes it even more confusing.

Yeah imagine what lemmy would look like if reddit or Digg were not a thing and it went from forums directly to lemmy. The network would be so even and the the instance would tell you kind of what communities are there just by the name.

But that’s my point it wasn’t created organically one community at a time but a flood of clones with the same names at subreddits vs having there own identity. So instead of one community on one instance known for one topic you have twenty that are watered down and no one knows where to coalesce.

If I could change one thing about lemmy. I kind of wish communities worked like channels in IRC. When servers are federated if I go to #games on my server and you go to #games on your server. It does it’s best to show the same content. So the instance is real but the community is vitrual abstracted by the protocol.

I know I engage way more on lemmy than I ever did on reddit. I think I posted more on here in the first year then I did the whole 11 years on reddit. Lemmy reminds me more of the old forum days than reddit or Digg. I wish lemmy would have followed the forum model more with an instantce having just 2 to 3 communities all around similar theme like how the star trek instance does it vs everyone trying to be an mini reddit. Also I know it’s ironic me saying that with my account being from .world

The worse two things to happen to lemmy when the reddit api migration happened is people created clones of their subreddits multiple times on different instances but when it didn’t take off immediately they just abandoned it. The second was bot posting no one is going to engage when op is not real and thus you have zombie communities with zero comments. So it looks like a ghost town instead of a letting grow organically.

Also if it crashes on video playback that’s a good indicator that you might need proton GE as the video is wanting a weird windows codec that reg proton doesn’t want to install in vanilla proton for good reason.

I tired it as well to see what this aur was all about but kinda hated it since it’s so opaque if they wanted to be as hardcore as they say they would build packages by hand and that can be done on any distro.

I can not agree more not everyone that uses arch is like this but every one of the Linux users that wants to be elitist about their distro runs arch based on how hard it is.

If you want to be low level to learn you run Linux from scratch. If you want bleeding edge you run tumbleweed or debian sid. If you want to run a distro that is only mildly harder to configure than a debian bootstrap install but less hard than running debian or redhat back in the 90s just for bragging rights you run arch.

• Star Trek (first 5 series)
• MASH
• Stargate SG1
• The Office
• Friends

I’m pretty sure they do along with a few more companies it’s called the united states government.

This is some good feedback. Not op but I have a genuine question if you are a middle aged man. How would you engage people that may be younger than you 20s and up and not look like or at least feel like a creep. Other than my wife I have basically no friends that share my interest. But can’t engage for fear of coming off as a creep.
