"Man to man, you know we can do better [than] Trump."

that got me, right there. direct. no fluff. makes a statement that you have to think about to challenge.

"how do you remove your hand from a lion's mouth?"

"very carefully."

the real insanity is that your excellent observations are being downvoted.

people just have to create their preferred echo chamber any where they are and we all suffer for it.

this resonates so much...

"ok, which one of you crackheads decided an unconstrained recursive C function was a good idea right her... oh."

this thread is it in a nut shell. the x11/wayland situation can trip things when it really should be super seamless. that will be fixed soon enough.

if you are ok with an Ubuntu base (which these days is drifting further from its Debian base) then regular mint is great.

if forced...

  1. Debian stable (or sid if you loathe/love yourself)
  2. lmde
  3. mint
  4. something other than ubuntu
  5. ...
  6. ubuntu

not hating on ubuntu, its just been moving away from where I am at.

oh, christ, this thread need to blow up. hilarious!

it is amazing how perceptions are so damn malleable. this particular great filter is going to be weird.

no, not cartoon villains, just morbidly self interested and narcissistic.

any host (out world included) has a finite carrying capacity. we are currently well beyond ours. the profit motive is strong in these people but, for a small but meaningful few, survival is (surprisingly) stronger - go figure!

<ravings> however, in typical billionaire/trillionaire grandiosity, I don't think the idea is just survival, but correction. and the correction is reducing the load on the planet to appropriate levels for profit and service - I kinda, sorta think the dime store tony stark himself, one elon musk, is there on this.. </ravings>

I have no proof other than my fevered imagination and observation of people and especially those who think themselves masters of the universe.

am I right/wrong? I am not sure it matters. we are in 100% uncharted territory here and the likleyhood is high that we all go down together on this one.

and ~~tens of thousands~~ hundreds of milions freeze or boil to death.

pretty sure, for a few of our fellow humans, this is their desired outcome for the rest of us.

If you're skeptical that this feat is possible with a raw 4004, you're right: The 4004 itself is far too limited to run Linux directly. Instead, Grinberg created a solution that is equally impressive: an emulator that runs on the 4004 and emulates a MIPS R3000 processor—the architecture used in the DECstation 2100 workstation that Linux was originally ported to. This emulator, along with minimal hardware emulation, allows a stripped-down Debian Linux to boot to a command prompt.

that is 2^8 levels of insane! and of course its Debian.

edit: 4bit data 12bit addressing make it an 8bit processor ; -)

I will slowly corrode on this hill.

interestingly, this is likely the most truthful and practical statement I have read today.

just updated to the v0.0.35 f-droid build and jerboa started to consistently crash at seemingly random times. likewise, I would get web UI error notifications while using the web frontend.

did a little testing and noticed that it may be related to the "show avatars" setting being enabled.

turning "show avatars" off and saving the settings seems to have eliminated the issues on both web and app.

will continue to test and update the post if needed. any others able to confirm or refute this particular issue might be helpful.

edit: there are still crashes related to editing a post, but crashes while scrolling through posts and comments seem to be much reduced. any feedback is welcome.

edit2: further poking suggests the underlying cause may be jerboa not handling server response timeouts well. turning off avatars may reduce the number of API calls and therefore the number of potentially mishandled timeouts. crash frequency is likely variable as a result of variable server load. if others also experience reduced crash frequency with avatars turned off then I can either create a github issue or add info to an existing one.

I know that many of us already know this, but it should repeated as often as needed.

we are the network -- the network is us.

social is nothing without the interactions that we create. reddit was just a place; a place that, because of a centralized power dynamic, abused us all.

we have are now at a cultural juncture, an opportunity to bring back what each of us knows to be true. our interactions do not need to capitalized, marketed and sold.

we are not products. we are the network.

please, find communities that even mildly interest you or catch you eye, join them and comment on posts.

just had this conversatin with the wife and she is joining Lemmy to start her own federated social journey.

pretty please... we need a samwise "share the load" meme for Lemmy instances, and it should be pinned far and wide.

mememasters... do your thing.
