I see more engagement across my Lemmy feeds every week. It’s definitely smaller and slower here but there are real relationships and communities forming. I think the fediverse is strongly positioned to outlive and maybe even outgrow closed social ecosystems. If you’re frustrated with a lack of a certain kind of content on Lemmy make it your responsibility to go create or share some of that content.

Geocities, Myspace, Digg, Reddit all started somewhere. I think any good underlying framework (federated social networks) that enables strong communities will always stand a chance. I really do get early reddit vibes on here.

Also Mac here. I started with a linux laptop but still have to do some desktop support work for the company and since they all use Mac it’s just easier to dogfood it. At least I have a decent terminal emulator.

Let’s go

Seriously, this was pretty cool, thanks for sharing!

Neat! Thanks for sharing!

This is an underrated comment here

Oh yeah, this is what I do.

I’ve been a big fan of Manjaro for exactly that reason. Something breaks occasionally and gives my skills a run for their money but a lot of the difficulty of running a rolling release gets nullified by the testing Manjaro does for you. It’s a great compromise, you get almost bleeding edge for much less work than an arch installation can take.

I love me some Debian for their stability and security, I run Debian or Debian based servers mostly. But I wanted something closer to the bleeding edge for my desktop so I could make use of newer features, run newer packages etc…

Also drive Manjaro and I tell people I use Arch, there are dozens of us

I missed something here didn’t I? Anyone have a link?

I got upset about this as a child. Years of adults of telling me that the moon was a night only thing and it was all lies.

I understand this reference and I approve o7

There’s absolutely a place for generated music. I have no doubt I’ll be bobbing my head to some ai beats before long. I think I was just bemoaning the changing of the things. Effort in the cause of good and beauty should always be rewarded.

Not a generic AI hater, just kinda pointing out how this is some generic soulless music. Posts like this used to mean someone spent hours and hours writing the song, recording it or producing it etc… Now it’s a subscription and a prompt. Just not the same, even if I hadn’t liked the song I would have respected the work but now, I dunno.

Anyway. I gotta give props here for the visuals though, someone clearly put time in there and I appreciated it.

i also use arch btw this some ai shit isn’t it

I dig these vibes so much

makes me proud to be a lemming

I work in this field and I think this is 🔥 af
