  • I'm like that right now waiting for the Winter heat to leave

  • decimeter is a good measure because one cubic decimeter (1 dm³) equals one liter ( 1L )

  • That depends if your instance has one or have someone already subscribed to one community with content like that.

    I've found two instances that specialize in nsfw content: lemmynsfw.com (requires login to see nsfw) and pornlemmy.com

    If your instance has no problems with that content, subscribing to communities on those instances may help other cultured people such as yourself in the future.

  • They have some discount for open source, students and other things. You can send them an email and explain your situation, you'll never know...

    Here's a tip for you: their beta version (EAP) is always free, but not available all the time, if you're fine with some plugins not working

  • I've made the move a few years ago. I really like the "IDE" experience instead of the "code editor" one.

    "Oh, but it takes so much RAM", yup... So does all those electron apps I have to use alongside VSCode, that are built in webstorm...

  • By the way. There's a mastodon bot called "Inspirational Skeletor" that I find very amusing to follow: https://mas.to/@skeletor

  • I love the opening song of Ergo Proxy. And the opening sequence, by the time, was on par with the new Trigun's one.

  • I used to listen while commuting, but since now I work from home, I tend to listen while doing the dishes.

  • Pixelfed has a "stories" feature. It's only on the website version (no apps) and it's labeled as "beta".

  • For a Facebook-like interaction, the major ones I saw people talking was Friendica and mobilizon

    For YouTube, the most known is PeerTube

  • No. Lemmy (and any other FediVerse service) can be targeted for take over from any corporation. But there's a few things that prevents from thinks like... Idk, Facebook buying Instagram or Musk buying Twitter:

    1. The source code of Lemmy is open. Anyone can just take the code and create another "Lemmy alternative" in case of a buy out.
    2. The underlying protocol (Activity Pub) is open too, and managed by W3C (which manages other things like the HTTP protocol). So I think would be very hard for it to highjack to only work for one company.
    3. You are right, a company can create or buy an instance or another similar service (and probably will, see Threads from Instagram). But they cannot interfere with the other ones. If the instance you're in was bought and you don't like the new owners, you can just create another account in another instance and keep following the same communities and content (because of the protocol I mentioned) and having the same experience. Unlike what happened to closed services like reddit that you cannot follow subreddits from here.

    Tl;Dr: we are not free of corporate interest, but we have tools to prevent a corporate dominance.

  • You know, I've seen worse than hate here. I've seen apathy.

  • Throwing him in Tartarus

  • I'm reading The Amber Spyglass, by Philip Pullman
