Mastodon has a pseudo-algorithm (sort of, unless there’s a better name) in the Search/Explore -> Posts view, which shows you posts that are trending on your instance. I wonder if Lemmy can come up with something similar based on your instance activity

Because how else would we feel superior?

I love how his last name is pronounced “to share a” and he did, in abundance

I think it’s easy to understand Mastodon, or any federated service, using a metaphor for a country or large place, where you can say “I want to move to X country” but then you have to actually pick a place IN that country to live, like a specific city or rural district. Once you decide on your instance, it’s really not that hard

Stuff like this makes me want to leave this country, and it’ll only get worse. We’re in for a real diarrhea shitstorm here people

Things seem to have improved in the last 5 years, so maybe give it another shot. I’m on Fedora 40 with gnome and lots of extensions, and I’m constantly tinkering with it to make it look just right (for fun, not that I feel like I have to). Nothing catastrophic has happened yet!🤞

I love how people will complain about ads on YouTube and then go on to complain that PeerTube sucks because “who’s going to pay the hosting fees?” 🙄 For the record I like PeerTube but Android clients are ass right now

Amazing

Maybe that was true in the past but not anymore https://www.cbsnews.com/news/surfers-killed-mexico-what-we-know-jake-callum-robinson-jack-carter-rhoad/ Mexico is a failed state

As a white person in a committed relationship with a black person, no. It’s always a trap! Never say it! (Jk I know everyone is different, but I will never)

That’s because we have a Russian plant at the helm of the only, let’s be honest, sort-of-not-really viable third party in this country. We need an overhaul of our voting system to get out of this mess, like with RCV

So much nuance, wow

English culture around “image” is sooo toxic, exemplified by this and the Lucy Letby case. Rather let babies die and cover it up than admit you’re not perfect

She personally met with those protesters before the rally, then when they later interrupted the rally, she let them have their moment, then when they wouldn’t shut up, that’s when she said that. Those particular protesters had no intention of having any kind of discussion, and it’s quite telling that they only come to Democratic events instead of Republican ones, who are MUCH more hawkish and pro-Israel than Dems and whom a protest against might be more effective, if they actually cared about Palestinians

5 because JD Vance is DEFINITELY a closeted bottom, and as much as he sucks, he’s pretty hot ngl

cmake debugger

I use this one in vscodium https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item?itemName=ms-vscode.cmake-tools

There are cmake debuggers where you can walk through exactly what it’s doing line by line

It saunters up to the tiki bar, sunglasses slightly askew, as it holds up a sand dollar with one tentacle while another is waving, beckoning

it did ruin a mission to Mars once though
