Triggering an eruption of the supervolcano, whose ash will kill most people in the US and blot out the sun for years

Oh, and harikari usually has a helper.

Other way around. Seppuku is the whole ritual, which includes the helper. But if you just gut yourself out in the woods with no ceremony, it’s harikiri

Didn’t Vimm’s Lair get taken down last year?

Not a community, but I recommend logicalincrements.com if you’re starting with a build. Pick a budget and it gives 3 different, balanced builds that match that budget. Use that as a starting point and modify from there

I thought Russia owned it

Whoever built that website really needs to fix the hitbox on the ‘X’ when you’re done reading the popups. Or instead of trying to show off with JavaScript they can just have a separate page like most websites

Doesn’t most of Element route through Matrix.org?

Petulant counterpoint: SteamOS 3.0 is based on Arch and is a good newbie distro

I like Jerboa because of how similar it is to RIF Is Fun

The IP checker you linked likes to flag false positives. I just checked it on my phone and it claimed that my IP address was being leaked, despute me using a VPN and the IP they listed being my VPN’s server

The Bismark was a good ship because she was a giant waste of war resources for the Nazis

Not only that, there’s still laws to consider

Monthly active users are actually pretty stable over the last 2 years, while posts and comments are steadily rising. While monthly active user growth would be better, I don’t think we’re in a bad spot right now.

Granted, all of Lemmy should strive to figure out how to get more people on the platform so more niche interests can hit critical mass. My point is that things are currently stable so the sky isn’t falling

They already have a quiz on join-lemmy.org. they ask for interest and language, and filter instances based on that.

Granted the filtering could be better, as the top one recommended to me was sopulu.xyz. I like the Fins, but I can’t speak any of the language. I had to scroll down about 10 to get to lemmy.world

Asking for low barrier to the largest instances

And what defines a low barrier for entry? I just checked the sign-up process for Lemmy.world, and it’s just email > password > agree to ToS > complete a Recapcha. All on one page. How is that any different to any corporate social media site?

The big hassle for signing up for Lemmy is finding an instance that matches your preferences, but I don’t see how that’s possible to get around. The only thing I can think of is streamlining join-lemmy.org to better direct people to a fitting server.

I know I’m being combatative here, but the thing that bugs me people keep parrotting the same complaints of “there’s too much friction” when that problem has pretty much been fixed. Please focus on the currently existing problems instead

Unfortunately, nerdy =/= tech literate, and it’s mainly tech literate people here at the moment. While there’s likely a higher concentration of nerds here, many fringe interests still haven’t hit critical mass

What friction is there compared to besides picking an instance that works for the user?

Too often people say “There’s too much friction every step of the way” when it’s literally 1 extra step. That extra step might be a big pain itself, but don’t exaggerate and make it out like there’s more steps and pain than there really is

Even better

Muskrat grew up as a trust fund baby on money from his dad’s apartheid emerald mines. He’s essentially clueless regarding technical skills and got where he is from just hiring people who knew what they were doing.

Unfortunately there’s been a bunch of propaganda over the years making him out to be some super genius that’s the lead engineer for all of his companies, and he’s since bought into all of it
