  • It's not just you. Perhaps it depends on the distro?

    I just had to click around a little when setting up Ubuntu 22.04 and it's done.

  • One of my undergrad professors said that they look as such because I, V and X can be easily marked using axes.

  • Not many in my teams could put a finger on what exactly I did, but all agreed I was fairly valuable and things became worse when I left.

    See: Being Glue

  • This is just a meme, but I find that communication is an underrated skill among software engineers.

    Personally, I'm trying to get better at it.

  • Sounds like pain.

    Thanks anyway.

  • I read somewhere that the perpetuators are likely getting some practice in before attacking their actual targets. Lemmy instances just happened to be unlucky enough to be among the victims chosen for this rehearsal.

  • FYI

    1. branch protection is a thing
    2. commit signing is a thing
  • I talk to other Americans and they're just like "Oh, well, both sides, you know?"

    I guess it depends on the people you are talking to. The Americans I've met all seemed kinda sad at what US is going through.

  • JUST LIKE EMAIL YOU NITWIT!

    We have very different perceptions of how people approach emails.

    Guess how tech illiterates(?) approach email? They sign up on Gmail - perhaps with some handholding - and that's it. That's all they know or care about.

    And before you say they don't deserve to be on the internet: they are all using Facebook, Youtube, Whatsapp, etc. Unless platforms like Lemmy actually treat new users better, there's not much incentive for people to switch.

  • We don't want to send everyone to the same instance otherwise it'll end up becoming dominant (see Lemmy World)

    Based on what I've learnt in network science, I've got bad news for you: real-world networks tend to follow power-law distributions.

    Lemmy, being a social network, is unlikely to be an exception. Some instances are going to become hubs and the rest would be peripheral.

  • unique interest or theme will determine the type and feel of content in your local feed

    Then selection of interests and themes should be included in the onboarding process, instead of the mumbo-jumbo about choosing instances.

  • I'm not sure what you are getting at.

  • Then saying that you have looked through and reviewed the code would be lying. And that is unprofessional.

  • Maybe remind them that all of their upvotes and downvotes are public.

    It's possible to see what others upvoted or downvoted?

  • That's a good one.

    Saw it coming a mile away (i.e. from the start thanks to the protocol that says to protect the pilot), but it was such a good execution.
