I asked two separate friends in the medical field for what they thought of the show, and both of them started with saying that the character is annoying 😄

I think that's the goal, since there ARE people like that in the field that are difficult to work with. It also gives her room to grow and be 'humbled' through the course of the show.

Maybe Snapchat

I've always heard of snapchat being the worst of them all, so maybe it depends on what kind of content you follow?

I with the Pixelfed creator would just focus on Pixelfed, I use that and it’s a total win, just needs some kinks worked out and more popularity.

Now that they have some funding and are building up a small team, it might let them focus on a few things at once. I agree though that it won't replace Tiktok. At this point, doomscrolling is a psychological addiction that takes effort to move away from.

wow those eyes 👁️👁️

It made me happy to read that, thank you for writing it. Especially this part:

But my father taught me, and I bet yours did too, you don't do the right thing because it guarantees the right outcome. You do it so you can look in the mirror at the end of the day. Thanks for helping me look in the mirror.

Welcome to lemmy.ca, please let us know if there's anything we can help with 😊

The key is that you need to subscribe to the type of content you want to see. There's no company here deciding what your feed is going to be.

@BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world, what kind of stuff are you interested in? I'm happy to help you find related communities :)

I love the name Pabu, what does it mean?

338 posts updates every Sunday, I'm looking forward to seeing that one

I can also see some people being opposed to them spending the donation money on ads, since they'd be giving money to companies that may be in opposition to what we're doing here (or ideological reasons around the advertising industry in general).

Maybe if there was a separate pool of donations specifically for advertising, then people who want to support that can donate to it? Those who don't can still donate to the projects themselves

Thanks!

I think it's still helpful for people that primarily use the subscribed feed, in case they are subscribed to !linux@lemmy.ml, but not !privacy@lemmy.ml

😬

Could be worth sharing this around so more people are aware of it. !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !opensource@programming.dev maybe? I can cross post it myself, but I'm not as familiar with the topic to respond to comments/questions

It's not currently there, but it's on our list of things to look into when we revisit our donation options.

Recently another user checked in about Librepay, and I asked for more thoughts. If you have any additional points, we'd appreciate them! I'll copy them into our notes alongside the previous comments

Yup, the installation guide says to comment out the things you don't want to run

There's the good-karma-kit, which is a Docker compose bundle of some popular projects: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/good-karma-kit

It could act as a list to go off of, if you don't want to host all of them. The link has more info on each, as well as which ones are non-profit / for-profit

Overview

Have some space computing power and want to donate it to a good cause? How about 10+ good causes at once?

♻️ put an under-utilized system to good use
🚲 use as much or as little CPU/RAM/DISK as you want
✨ 100% more soul warming than mining
📈 geek out over your CPU/disk/bandwidth stats on the leaderboards

This is a collection of containers that all contribute to public-good projects:

• networks: Tor, i2p
• computing: boinc, foldingathome
• archiving: archivewarrior, zimfarm, kiwix, archivebox, pywb
• storage: ipfs, storj, sia, transmission

This v1 list was started by the ArchiveBox project, but it's open to contributions.

What would be an example of a submarine that isn't an Attack submarine, only surveillance?

Thanks! Added it to the social/culture section

Thanks! Deleted this one

Not sure why that's happening, it's happened a few times recently. Sometimes the second post doesn't show up in the feed, but it is still accessible under the different URL

Depending on what restrictions you have, you could try VSCode? That's what students were told to do at my university for remote C / C++ development off the school's servers

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh

I'm not familiar with the others, but for vscode

• click the symbol that looks like >< in the bottom left
• potentially install the remote SSH add-on if it asks for it
• log in
• open the left sidebar and tell it to open the folder you are developing in

I imagine it's because that is the source that the person saw the article on and/or they don't notice the issue because of adblock/pi-hole.

I've done that a few times where I link a site that's broken without adblockers, or it has a paywall that only shows up part of the time.

Gentle reminders help! It might be cool to have a bot that checks a resource like ground news and links to the same article on a few alternate sources

Ah, good to know

Kichae did a good job of explaining some of the limitations, and I also agree with you that there's more we can do for user-friendliness while still respecting decentralization.

One of the things we've done is put together the guides above, which I'm hoping can help reduce confusion on how this new platform works and what the differences / benefits are. If they DO help, then one solution could be to share the guides around and hope that it acts as the first introduction for people. There are a lot of confusing resources out there (ex. that infographic that gets posted around), so I'm hoping that over time we can improve these guides over time to be as helpful as possible.

We'd love some feedback on the guides if you have a chance to go through them! In particular, these seem relevant to the areas you were confused about:

• Quick overview of Lemmy (goes over account creation)
• Where to find mobile apps (discusses why there are multiple, and how to pick one
• Quick overview of the Fediverse (goes over why decentralization is key to the Fediverse, and important for fixing the problems with old social media)

In addition, if you have any thoughts on the order of the guide pages and areas that are still confusing

The Lemmy software itself is also open-source, and there's often discussion about what can be improved. Similarly, there are a few other Lemmy compatible projects in the works that are doing things slightly differently, such as Piefed and Mbin. As you get settled in and familiar with things, these communities might be of interest to you:

• !lemmy@lemmy.ml
• !fediverse@lemmy.world

Welcome to lemmy.ca / the fediverse 😊
