Everything else aside, my biggest gripes are with service control. Instead of just "service" they had to invent a new name that was super close to an existing function (systemctl vs sysctl) and reverse the switch order. (service sshd stop vs systemctl stop sshd.service)
Besides that, I absolutely hate that all the service configs are not in a standard location. Well, you get things like sshd.conf which are still in etc, but the systemctl configs are who knows where.
There are more important things to hate on with systemd, but I went for the superficial this time and I absolutely hate service management with systemd now.
Its probably more accurate for me to say that I think there is a gradient of people between instances. Using politics as an example, and without details, people seem to gravitate to instances where they are with like-minded folk. Combine that with local or global filter preferences, and echo chambers start to form on a per-instance basis. Communities of higher interest will likely be on the users home instance, after all.
But yeah, I am fairly sure most of us browse /all and see content from all over Lemmy. We still mix and mingle, but are still lightly bound by our own filter preferences. See above paragraph.)
(I am not trying to dictate hard rules of behavior, btw. Lemmy is too diverse for anything definitive.)
Personally, I try to only block specific communities and not entire instances. That has seemed to keep my personal feeds fairly open.
Lemmy is a perfect replacement for Reddit because it's not Reddit. The feed was curated and not as organic as the voting system made it seem. As time passed, it became more of an algorithmic engine for dopamine extraction. Sure, I had some great times there, but times change.
Lemmy is not a perfect copy, but it is a healthier replacement in some ways. Separate instances do amplify echo chambers, but, they mildly serve to keep different groups separated. Some personality types are just not compatible and that is OK. We still have common spaces and can still be civil, mostly.
For now, there isn't as much room here for business. Sure, we have plenty of porn but this platform isn't as easy to exploit for money as Reddit was. No centralized advertising structure is awesome, IMHO. (Some clients still leverage ads, but I don't use them.)
Aww shit! The mods don't think so. You must conform to the will of the oligarchies or be erased from history. (Or just pictures. They also like to delete people from official pictures.)
But if anyone missed it:
I SAID THAT MANY PEOPLE DON'T LIKE AUTHORITARIAN DICTATORSHIPS!
There is a chance that the exe is just a wrapper for a compressed archive that contains the app to flash the bios and also the image. If the bios actually supports flashing manually, that would be super convenient.
It depends on what kind of IC you need. If you need an authentic part that has been tracked and verified through every step of distribution, you pay a premium.
For hobby products, sure. Spend 30 cents on that 5 dollar part.
However, a bad batch of fake ICs could potentially cost a company millions of dollars in returns, or worst case, liability lawsuits. (It has personally only cost me a few bucks and some wasted time.)
My personal trust in any Chinese sourced electronics is zero. It's less than zero if I attempt to buy a proper name brand IC. I ain't salty about it since I know my odds of getting defective or improperly labeled (or relabeled) parts: Expect about a 30% failure rate or parts that are way out of spec.
Simply put, QA is generally poor and the supply chain is sketchy. If that doesn't matter to you, so be it.
What happens is it chips do come from the same Chinese manufacturer, you can get spectacularly different grades of parts depending on how you bought them.
Big Clive has a voice to sleep to. If you are not familiar, he does electronics teardowns and reverse engineering. While I usually just watch his videos to actually learn things, his voice will knock me right out if I need a nap.
It's usually only stocked in stores around the holidays and I am too lazy to make it on a whim.
So, because of that, yes. It is only a holiday drink for me. It's unfortunate, because I love the stuff. (Even when I drank, I didn't care for it with alcohol.)
I skimmed it, and it went from something about ToS to moderators rule to something about jury nullification(?). The whole thing probably could have been done with some strategic bullet points.
Unless it has changed, the lemmy.world ToS is about as broad and obscure as it gets. I can sum it up though: Admins are gonna do admin things, moderators are gonna do mod things and users are subject to whatever rules get applied to them in the moment.

You were allowed to skip every Kazon episode except the one where they try to reverse engineer a replicator. (That might help on the next rewatch.)
