let's please just call them "communities"

meanwhile random residential internet speeds in tokyo beating out every consumer connection available in my area (and country I assume):

klar, bin davon ausgegangen diese maßnahme hat nen guten grund.

feddit.org ist ja nicht facebook, hier gibt's menschen, die man auf sowas ansprechen kann... da dachte ich probier's halt mal :)

i am currently testing https://iamb.chat/ it's a bit unique in how it does things but promising of you're into TUI and vim

the article links to the same breakdown for asian contries which puts this in perspective lol https://landgeist.com/2022/05/31/rice-consumption-in-asia/

nice work!

maybe somebody here knows... is it possible to turn off the page transition animations? i was expecting voyager to respect prefers-reduced-motion but it doesn't seem to affect that

huh, was it not before? i thought the entire lx* space was canonical's thing

i have a gentoo system with a custom s6-rc service tree that fully replaces openrc and boots via s6-linux-init.

instead of a display manager i have tinydm (from postmarketos) and autologin setup. since i use full-disk encryption and suspend-to-disk i find that i don't need the extra login step into my user session.

i have a bunch of bemenu-based helpers for wifi, bluetooth, vpn, audio, passwords, mounting drives, etc.

i don't have polkit or sudo installed. i use doas.

hemingway's debut the sun also rises, i went in blind and didn't expect it to be about bull fighting. i enjoyed the vibe of the 1920s travel through spain and france, the aimless plot and the character interactions.

i learned that bullfighting is terrible and cringed at the casual anti-semitism all over the book

mach das traditionell immer vorm ersten kaffee. danach gibt's die tasse quasi als belohnung zum erfüllen der bürgerpflicht

since you seem to consider alacritty, which is pretty minimal in features, maybe give foot a shot as well. i find it fits best into tiling wm land (sway, river, etc.) so might not be your cup of tea...

what's the app? looks like it could be discord? running in flatpak? do you find the emoji font with fc-list | grep emoji? do other apps show emoji?

i joined mastodon in 2017. at the time i was also cutting off whatsapp and facebook and was just generally getting deeper into foss and fedi.

at the same time i was a heavy reddit user and was looking for fedi-based alternatives. i was following prismo development for a while, but that never took off.

i eventually joined lemmy in 2020 but never really found the community, that reddit had (and tbf still has for most topics).

last year during the API fiasco i finally made this account and have been pretty happily reading (and sometimes posting) here.

mpv has an integration with ytdl (and forks), which should let you just open the url and stream it directly

yeah i know, sorry about that :P i was using boost to post this and didn't know it would automatically host it using imgur

any recommendations for alternatives these days? i would've gone for something like catbox.moe or 0x0.st but I think those delete uploads after a certain amount of time

managed to shift my idle browsing here. though i was kind of weening off reddit slowly over the past years. with lemmy exploding it has brought back some of that feeling of exploring and looking for communities i was missing on reddit haha

sadly nebula.tv sends you to reddit for comments on their exclusives, that is one holdover that is also unlikely to go away...

+1 for RSS but it doesn't really replace the comments. granted on reddit the quality of discussion has for sure declined and lemmy is still a little dead sometimes. but it still provides value (to me)

someone should build a distributed comment system that works with plain old RSS feeds

being a pessimist here for a second:

once this reaches a more mature stage, there will be somebody claiming it would be used when selling drugs or other illegal activities and those privacy concerns will go out the window :/
