  • Like someone else said I'm greatful for where I was born and the circumstances I have. It's the need for continuous improvement that causes this.

    There has been a great disdain for a 40 year live to work lifestyle in America for a century now that I think can be cured with using the land in a more efficient manner, and giving people more options than they have through monopoly companies today. China just said fuck it everyone's limited in video game time and you need to focus on studies.

    The ideas I have are too large to be conveyed in some quick text post, but I see there still being room to innovate and also bring a brighter more sustainable, proud culture in USA out. It will take money time and resources, and the forming of a new mindset for continuous improvement rather than continuous consumption.

  • Go watch the big short. I think this is a globally free movie on YouTube https://youtu.be/cvdjXCCHdSQ

    Idk it might be a premium subscribers thing though. Regardless:

    Basically what the US did in 2008 allowing banks to bet on the success of the housing market and bet on their bet, and bet on the bet of the bet of the bet, they started doing AGAIN in 2015. Housing market is through the roof again just without the east approval process this time. It's wild that the CDO infrastructure has been brought back since then.

  • Be extremely anxious. These companies are looking for those that bend the knee. It doesn't matter if you've been with them one year or fourty. If they find a reason to make you the example they will certainly do it especially if you're in the tech sector.

    I applaud you standing your ground but my advice is to actually find a job or two that suites your situation and apply to it. Having options and offers is better.

  • I had the exact same issues when I ran matrix with my friends and family. I see this as a major bug with the encryption.

    AKA it's not just you. I'll probably encounter it again soon when I setup the server again soon and open a bug report.

    I don't care if I setup an encryption key backup at sign up. If my session should still be valid I'm not entering that long thing, I'm just quitting the use of the app. The encryption had to work and not just randomly bug out.

  • Creators both put out so much dogshit that I have to cherry pick and also my sub feed doesn't account for actually good content.

    So yeah I stopped paying attention to it. Even as a YouTube premium member.

    The peak of garbage was when YouTube enforced a 10 minute watch time for max profit. They rolled it back but dude there used to be 8 minutes of fluff for a 2 minute video.

  • Highly recommend Pop OS! It's been very reliable. I haven't had anything this steady since Mac OS when I was just doing programming. I tried to go from Mac to Alienware for personal computing and it was terrible, windows blue screened almost once a week if not once every four days.

    Switched to Pop OS, enabled Proton in steams preferences for gaming, and it was completely steady. Only thing that doesn't work is the hibernate. Which isn't a super big deal to me.

    I'd actually say everything has been a better experience than windows. Lutris and pop store have a large variety of games and apps. For example lutris supports GOG and probably epic games. It feels like it's everything I'd want without the shitty user interfaces and lack of crashes.

  • There hasn't been a single game I've struggled to run in the last few months on proton. I haven't had a windows PC in like a year ish or more?

    I play games heavily too.

    Try it out sometime if your setup isn't extremely niche and maybe you'll find it to be accommodating.

    The weirdest things I've had to do are click a box in steam to enable proton usage and reinstall something in Lutris for Battle.net on world of warcraft.

  • TLDR: I'm still very suspicious of how that is quantified - "leading to an overall better product".

    Who quantifies that and how, on a case by case basis, especially in the form of Chromebooks or phones for revenant, popular examples?

    Let's say it was a laptop: I can see issues with lithium batteries perhaps reaching a cycle count that lead them to be dangerous. Wouldn't that mean though you should produce a good that has replaceable batteries? Is the battery designed in such a manner on purpose?

    Businesses with shareholders that live quarter to quarterly profit are the issue. There is no authoritarian legislator that reallocates resources like China did the last few years, for example, whether you like it or not.

    The US relies on legislation to be passed to mandate the changes or prohibit a device from being built a certain way. That legislation can be lobbied for loopholes, have various people in power also own percentages of the companies, etc. Whether you agree with it or not, there are many checks and balances and simultaneously a lack thereof.

  • EDIT: I'm just going to note that kolektiva was an anarchist collective. Doesn't sound quite as trivial as before.

    This says that the server was grabbed during an unrelated raid?

    How is that even legal. You can just get seized because your neighbor in the server rack is doing something? I feel like that should be a lawsuit for taking down someone's business essentially. I'll be real with you it doesn't matter if the shits encrypted or not - in 15-20 years if Feds hold onto your messages trivial or not, with their budget and resources they can probably crack hashed data, if Quantum computing comes online especially, where quantum was stuck in a state of laughable doubt just like ML or AI was eight years back.

  • Not a degree holder for this topic but my significant other works in renewable energy. A lot of these companies actually just buy and sell "renewable" credits which is legal in the US so they can make the claim. They themselves do not have to be using renewable energy. IE if I am LemmyCorp and I have genuine renewable energy, I can get it certified and sell my credits to BananaPhoneCorp.

    It is not always the case, but it is quite popular. Rivian's CEO made a remark on it today: https://www.theverge.com/23803541/rivian-solar-kentucky-ppa-ceo-scaringe-interview

  • There are some UI issues like clicking see context brings you to an actual foreign Lemmy where you aren't logged in, that for example is a problem. What's nice though is that Lemmy seems to do great with pulling federated content from other servers unlike mastodon.

    I hope to donate some time to the web apps/phone apps/servers for both lemmy and mastodon in the months coming to fix these things. It should squash a lot of problems I'm running into.

  • Maybe I'll make a post about my experience with it after I ship out my startup to prod/app-stores. I was going to try to write a replacement to enms.io but since its already open source I can't really justify the 2-3 weeks to hack something out,while also adding Nim to the problem set.

    I have to say though, a reads-like python but compiles like c/rust/etc. has really garnered my interest. They had an excerpt about decentralized package management with nimble and that really made me raise my eyebrows.

  • Thanks for asking. I am in the final stages of allowing users to have their own lemmy servers, to include a mobile app. Lemmy is only part of the offering. At large, I'm looking to bring decentralized alternatives for almost everything, with some new edge features for security and the likes too.

    I'll probably make a post about it somewhere when it goes live but I'm hoping to really target folks on reddit and twitter(now X) + threads. I'd really like to show people that there are much better alternatives out there.
