Images load slower than other clients like Voyager. Some fail to load. Most of the failed images load when I click on the post and retry. (I added a Screen recording)

My network is not the slowest. Usually it's between 8-30mbps.

Some accounts are deleting their posts after a few downvotes. It's devastating on communities like c/asklemmy.

Lemmy doesn't track an account's karma like reddit. So, all downvotes will be isolated to your post or comment and won't affect your account—unless you wrote something truly horrible.

Remember lemmy is a community effort. Deleting a post also removes all comments on it. So you are not only robbing the effort others put in, you are actively removing knowledge from the fediverse. Others won't be able to find it through search and lemmy will seem lonelier than it already is.

The Kesamutti Sutta states:

Do not go upon what has been acquired by repeated hearing,

nor upon tradition,

nor upon rumor,

nor upon what is in a scripture

nor upon surmise,

nor upon an axiom,

nor upon specious reasoning,

nor upon a bias towards a notion that has been pondered over,

nor upon another's seeming ability,

nor upon the consideration 'The monk is our teacher'

Kalamas, when you yourselves know 'These things are good; these things are not blameable; these things are praised by the wise; undertaken and observed, these things lead to benefit and happiness,' enter on and abide in them.

Thus, the Buddha named ten specific sources whose knowledge should not be immediately viewed as truthful without further investigation to avoid fallacies:

Oral history

Tradition

News sources

Scriptures or other official texts

Suppositional reasoning

Philosophical dogmatism

Common sense

One's own opinions

Experts

Authorities or one's own teacher

Instead, the Buddha says, only when one personally knows that a certain teaching is skillful, blameless, praiseworthy, and conducive to happiness, and that it is praised by the wise, should one then accept it as true and practice it.

For example, switch accounts and go to your inbox, search, or profile. It can be very confusing. I thought many times that I replied from the wrong account or didn't switch accounts.

I have been reading this book carefully and really loving it so far.

For me it was doing just a few minutes of HIIT a day. It boosted my energy levels a lot and reduced my blood pressure by about 5 points.

I really enjoyed peace is every step by Thich nhat hanh. It's so easy to understand and turns mundane things like chores into micro meditations that generate happiness on demand.

Use a vpn with a Eu server. More sites like google will show a cookie popup with the "reject all cookies" option.

Reject all cookies if it exists. Otherwise accept cookies and then click on the :

shield icon > cookies and site data > delete (trash icon)

This is super useful when you want to read an article on some news website and it shows a cookie popup.

Cars turned us—one of the best species in long distance running into couch potatoes.

Now llms are attacking our brains and making us stupid and insane. A species of slopheads if you will.

I want to check the growth rate of these wonderful platforms—especially active users, server count, number of posts, and comments etc.

Rust analyzer and compilation are very slow. My system is heating up, running out of ram and disk space. I have 8 GB ram.

I use helix editor.

edit: thank you for all your suggestions. I am breaking up the project into smaller crates to see if that makes a difference.

I got the biggest improvements from zram and sccache. With zram my memory usage stays at 90% instead of fully running out when rust-analyzer starts.

I can start. I spent a few days with friends. We didn't do anything that special but it's good to catch up and soak up some positivity from them.

Just some random thoughts on lemmymaxxing 😆

Even if you don't use it, if anyone who has your number uses truecaller then your number, profession, and social graph etc will be recorded and shown to other users.

Let's fight back by unlisting our numbers from truecaller.
