It depends HEAVILY on your chipset. I have a costco HP i bought as a backup that works seamlessly. Literally seamless at all times. Its a commodity piece of hardware. Millions of these things made.

My bleeding edge, new machine, cuts out, audio stutters, sleep issues; you name it: looking at you mediatek.

Bluetooth.

Its always been an issue and it remains an issue.

Fuck yeah. Lets do it!

What pixel would you recommend? Is the one you used sufficient?

not as as a distraction machine.

Yeah I’ve got a steam deck for that.

How about connectivity/ usability? Have you had any issues with particular apps or functionality?

How was switching up the phone? I’ve been on linux for 10 years, but I still use android because I’ve found the switch via the phone to be far more intimidating.

A haiku:

It’s not DNS

There’s no way it’s DNS

It was DNS

Okay, well, I’m trying to elaborate for you, like you asked. Does that mean making sure they have food? Does that mean physically defending them from har?

Well it would be helpful to understand what you mean by self-defense. Some people hear that and think barricades and molotovs. Others think community gardens. The fact is there are many ways to resist authoritarianism.

What does community defense mean to you?

physically resisting isn’t going to do you any good.

Well at a certain point that may be the only option and human history is mostly examples of us failing to appeal to our better nature. Longer we wait do do things that physically stop these thugs from doing what they are doing, the longer this goes on for.

If you aren’t already on it… Its never too late to start but its also very late to be starting. Community defense starts at building community. How many of your neighbors do you know? 1? 10? 100? Do your neighbors identify each other as people or just people that park next to one another every night. Do you share food, like potlucks or beers on the lanai or at the beach?

These are small examples, but the very, very first step is to begin seeing people as humans. Not seeing each other as humans; being trained to not see each other as humans: its what got us here in the first place. 100 people stepping out there front porch to confront ICE immeasurably more effective than one person with a gun showing up.

As far as actual training, take a gun safety course before doing anything else firearms related. You can sign up for one this weekend probably. Guns aren’t something to be feared, they are something to be understood. Even if its not your gun, knowing when a gun’s safety is or isn’t set; its very important. At that point you can decide if its the right way for you to defend yourself.

This is something I think whatever lemmy 2.0 is going to be really needs to focus on.

Just be a content aggregator for ALL of the fediverse. Everything. One feed.

Or maybe more clever ways of integrating. But right now, we’re still relying on video mostly from YT (not peertube) and screenshots of things happening on mastodon. We need more connective tissue.

Raise them in the woods with no access to the outside world until the age of forty.

Its not defeatism. Its a basic understanding of how systems work, which you clearly don’t have. You being obtuse doesn’t change that. You and I can’t change the issue at play. Without scale, lemmy dies. Its not a debate and its killed plenty of projects long before it.

In other words, hope in one hand and shit in the other; see which one fills up first.

Without growing the user base, this project dies. Its not a debate.

I mean I can’t say it has had an impact on ESRI, but I for one have been boycotting ESRI and their products for over 10 years. I’ve moved entire teams and departments away, and was only able to do so through a combination of QGIS/ R/ Python. There are still some gaps to fill, but because geospatial is such a smaller world to begin with (than photoshop), I feel like QGIS maybe has had more of a “percentage” impact at breaking through on ESRI than GIMP has to photoshop.

Just wait till you hear about QGIS

Yeah. Huge improvement and my other account is on piefed.social

Not having it from the beginning though, it helped create this issue in declining usership, which will kill the entire project if we don’t address it.

I’ve lived through the birth growth and death of many former spaces which occupy a similar role as Lemmy. When users start to depart, its almost always destined for catastrophic collapse.

A big part of that is on the design side. We really need the ability to fork/ clone/ merge/ migrate communities across instances. Lemmy was designed to be an “entire” reddit replacement. Because of this, we end up with redundant communities with less activity. Migration of accounts and communities could effectively solve this issue.

Its possibly lemmy could have been designed such that communities of similar type could be aggregated into a single instance. For example, maybe you start a “snowboarding” community on .world, but when a sports focused instance pops up, you might want to migrate your community. A few instances build like this.

The fediverse is not a single amorphous bloc with the same overall goals of growth.

I mean, sure. I guess still people are on Fark. and Digg. And even still posting to Craigslist forums.

And growth is a matter of survival. You don’t grow, you don’t survive.
