Fediverse@lemmy.world•Religious spam by lem.cochrun.xyz accountsEnglish
7·3 days agoI misread that as “Trust Turtle God GIF”, and was confused by the downvotes.
Season 4 of Classroom of the Elite is airing. Looking good so far.
If you do watch it, be prepared for a lot of changes, as the art style, music, and the intro have completely changed (Probably new studio). Fortunately, the VAs are the same (as far as I can tell).

Linux@lemmy.ml•What package manager do you use for arch based distros?
4·5 days agopacman /w chaotic-aur.
I don’t need the AUR directly, a GUI, or other managers. Just what came with my system + chaotic works just fine.
edit: typo
Never seen it, so all the memes of it in animemes make no sense to me, but it’s still funny to look at.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the most terrifying experience you’ve ever had?
3·7 days agoNo fucking clue, it just happened one day.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the most terrifying experience you’ve ever had?
10·8 days agoI don’t have spooky, but I’ve almost ‘died’ a few times (At least felt like I was dying):
- Getting very light-headed and my vision becoming bright, and almost passing out due to dehydration and hunger multiple times in my life (A few when I was young, at work, and I think a few times at home)
- Getting very dizzy, light-headed, and nauseous. Was my 1st time in an ambulance. Was fucked up on drugs they gave me that made my so exhausted, I couldn’t sleep at all.
- More light-headedness due to drastic dietary changes
- A pain that fucked my stomach up so bad, I though I was giving birth (I imagined it hurt as bad as birth, but through the stomach). After 30 agonizing minutes of it, a weird pressure feeling came over it (like a relieving feeling), and it started going away.
I’ve not had a great time.

Programming@programming.dev•The Claude Code Source Leak: 512,000 Lines, a Missing .npmignore, and the Fastest-Growing Repo in GitHub History
5·12 days agoSo is “Claw Code” supposed to mean Claude? I don’t see any explanation of what the repo actually is.
I’ve been working on my first Python package to upload to PyPI to be used in more of my projects.
It’s a lot of work compared to some of my hobbyist projects as I’m trying to be (somewhat) professional about it.
It’s also my first time writing actual documentation designed for others to read. It’s a lot harder than I though to write good documentation. Thankfully, sphinx helps with pulling docstrings from my code. I just wrote a Quick-Start Guide to get people started using the package.
It’s fun though as I’m learning a new stack for Python package development (hatch/hatchling, ReadTheDocs, sphinx, PyPI). I’m almost done with the initial release too!
About 160° (~2.79 rad). Been slouching too much and need to fix my posture.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the biggest mess you've ever made?
5·18 days agoAccidentally wrote a 2GB ‘nohup.out’ file when I forgot I had a script running as nohup in the background without redirecting STDOUT and STDERR to /dev/null.
Basically, I forgot to prevent saving the output of my program to a file, and it created a massive file because of it.
2GB might not seem like much, but this was on a server with ~5GB free space left. Could have been worse had I not caught it sooner.
I can think of a way out:
Just throw the whole PC away. It’s someone else’s problem now!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you feel about the current state of Lemmy?
1·21 days agoImagine social media as an upsidedown parabola (like an arc), where the x axis is time, and the y axis is quality.
The start of a new social media platform would be towards the bottom left. As they grow and add new features, their quality improves. Over time, however, they will ‘peak’ in quality. Then, they begin to introduce anti-consumer practices, such as API restrictions, ads, sponsored posts, etc. Their quality dwindles until either the platform shuts down or becomes a horrible echo chamber.
Using this analogy, Reddit right now would be in the latter half of the graph, as it has become an echo chamber filled with bots, ads, and API restrictions.
Lemmy currently is more like approaching the peak for the parabola. It’s great for now.
Sure Lemmy is open-source, self-hostable, but it’s potential downfall would be its userbase. It’s starting to have the same issues as Reddit: Don’t comply with every else’s opinions, get downvoted to oblivion. Of course, downvotes don’t mean much on here, but getting banned would.
In its own way, Lemmy is starting to become an echo chamber for tech/Linux enthusiasts, radicals, and those exiled from Reddit.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How long do you typically use a water bottle/tumbler before you wash it?
1·23 days agoAfter I use it each time??
I think the main problem lies in the community.
Not everyone, but a few vocal rotten apples are hostile to new users who either:
-
Don’t already know the answer to their own question
-
Are not using their distro
-
Didn’t immediately read the wiki entry for their exact problem
This kind of gatekeeping is why some people are put off of Linux and the community as a whole. Just because someone asks a question you think is obvious, doesn’t mean it’s obvious to them.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My fellow 'Muricans, do you prefer metric or standard measurements?
8·27 days agoMetric. Imperial is a fucking mess. At least with Metric, most size measurements are 10 to the power of something.
I try to follow the 3, 2, 1 backup procedure:
- 3 copies
- Spread across at least 2 devices (Computer, Server, other devices)
- At least 1 copy on a separate storage disk (USB flash drive)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What kind of car do you drive, and what kind do you wish you did?
1·1 month agoA large SUV I bought from a friend who was selling it years ago.
I wish I had something smaller thugh, like a Mini. Though, that probably won’t be long as my current car is very old and is already having issues.



Yes, I’m looking for one that can rotate on its stand, instead of needing to mount it vertically.
I’ll clarify that in my post
