Heheh I’m ddossing them right now. Unfortunately the computer I’m doing it on is having a few connection issues

Cool, yeah I will definitely be trying it out thanks.

Yeah, since about 2016 it has started to get really bad though. I remember when I would be looking for a solution to a computer related issue, all the top results were super useful Tom’s Hardware and AnandTech forum posts. But of course nobody does SEO for forum posts because they’re just trying to help people not make money, so instead now all of the probably AI written crap is in the top results which half the time is only barely related to what I searched

I still am using Google and I hate how useless it has become since SEO started to become a thing in the last 5 or 10 years. Maybe I should try Kagi. Does it have location specific search results

A 70gb log file?? Am I misunderstanding something or wouldn’t that be hundreds of millions of lines

I looked into it briefly after hearing this news and saw people talking about Godot. It’s for 2D and 3D multi-platform games and you can use C#, C++ and others. Sounds pretty cool

It’s almost like we all used to use reddit like 2 months ago so are interested what’s happening with it, crazy

Wow that is crazy that it runs Linux and is less than $3, that guy would put the executives from the scene in American Psycho to shame with that business card.

What I had in mind was a program with a GUI that had text, some images and you can click through the pages and maybe do something else. I suppose you could pull off something similar to what you linked with a compact arduino-type device, some kind of flat 5v battery and maybe an e-paper display that you can print scrolling text to and maybe a little graphic. I suppose not very similar to what you linked, but would be cool in its own right

It would be quicker to list what’s right with him

Maybe, people do talk fondly about the days of forums that were dedicated to specific subjects with small communities where people all know each other and an instance can be much like that. Although sometimes what people actually want is different to what they really want, you know? Although I also do remember forums mostly too.

I think it’s still good to talk about Lemmy and the fediverse is still good, I joined Lemmy earlier this month and the way ActivityPub works was quite appealing to me and really made me want to switch. It was slightly unintuitive at first but someone described it as being like the email protocol where you can view emails from anyone even if they’re on say gmail and you’re on Yahoo mail/proton mail/ self hosted email/etc and that made it make complete sense.

Huh that’s odd. It must be an issue with Sync related to them posting from a Mastodon instance.

Oh right it must be an issue with Sync for Lemmy, someone else responded saying your username doesn’t say that for them. Thanks for the response.

Sorry this is unrelated, but how come your username says @null? Just curious

Yeah I think people have what happened to Digg in their minds and think there’ll just be one single huge Exodus and Lemmy will explode over night, but that’s unlikely. We just have to keep trucking and overtime reddit inc will make more and more stupid decisions and each time Lemmy and the dedicated will grow a but larger. Not to mention Twitter is imploding even faster, maybe we’ll gain users from there.

Having a small community in the meantime isn’t so bad anyway, there’s less low effort comments and you can recognise people sometimes which is cool. There’s positives and negatives to both small and large communities.

Also Lemmy is becoming a larger platform and Twitter- or “X”- is becoming a smaller platform. Sure total users might be down since right after the Exodus but that is obviously normal, a new baseline will be established that’s still significantly above the pre Exodus baseline. Then reddit inc will do something else stupid and people on the site will be talking about Lemmy again.

I think there’s positives and negatives to having a small platform, and there’s positives and negatives to having a larger platform. With a smaller platform, the quality of the comments in general is much higher with less low effort jokes which usually you’ve already read 500 times. With larger platforms, the smaller communities are much more active because there’s a larger pool to draw those people with niche interests from.

I am on Lemm.ee and haven’t had a single issue

Haha I meant to say Sync

I just made an account to reply to this lol. I finally bit the bullet and started using Lemmy a few days ago, the community here is of course much smaller than reddit but I would describe the comments here as being like the 1 in 10 comments on reddit that actually made me want to keep using the site. You don’t see as many one word throw away pun comments here, which I’m not necessarily against but it gets very grating over time.

I just downloaded relay yesterday, I was always a RIF user but using relay in “sure drawer” mode is a pretty similar experience. Everyone here seems very chill and nice
