Tantacrul mentions onboarding problems with average people learning to switch to the fediverse as an alternative to Facebook

Jump

  • Fediverse will never EVER hit critical mass unless the users and mods stop calling everyone they don’t agree with a Nazi.

    TBH this is to be expected from a demographic made up largely of ex-reddit users

  • I've watched the whole video through, and honestly that felt like an underbaked take. People will have difficulty understanding federation? Seriously!? Surprise surprise, but if you know what email is, you already understand federation.

    • Which one is you?

  • Maybe I'm confused, but from what I understand, "declarative" means you tell the computer what you want the final thing to look like, and "imperative" means you tell the computer what steps to take. So Dockerfile would be imperative because it's a set of commands that are executed in-order to create the image. Meanwhile docker-compose.yml is declarative because you say which containers are used with what options and how they're interconnected. IDK tho, as far as I understand the definitions aren't that rigid

  • This (and systemd bugs) is the main reason I moved away from nixos on my homeserver. Nowadays if I want declarative configuration, I just cram everything into docker containers and write a huge docker-compose.yml for everything that I want to run. Would still recommend nixos for things that don't require a lot of tweaking. Like if I had to set up a simple website for a small business or something. I love how you can set up SSL certificates for nginx with autorenewal just by switching it on in configuration.nix.

    • This means I close the tab, regardless of what is on the site.

  • Ususally just turning off javascript using ublock makes these notices go away. And if turning off javascript breaks the website... well then I guess whatever I was trying to read wasn't really worth my time anyway.

  • Void on laptop, alpine on homeserver. Yep, checks out.

    Love how the indian guy sitting meme perfectly sums up how I feel about alpine, nixos, and freebsd, even though those are completely different projects with different directions and goals. "It's boring and it just works".

    • The Disappearance of an Internet Domain

    Jump

  • Tangentially related, but I love how http://ai is an actual website that you can visit. We're so used to thinking of websites as <something>.<tld> that it's really weird to see a website hosted directly on a top level domain with no subdomain.

  • John Oliver did a nice explanation

    Basically they pretend to have the wrong number, but then start chatting with you, gain your trust over a period of months, and then ask you for money or similar.

  • So...

    • normal people are scared because they fall for the gambler's fallacy,
    • mathematician is feeling fine because a 50% chance is a 50% chance,
    • and the scientist is feeling extra fine because the experimental data shows that the surgery is actually safer than 50%

    Did I get it right?

    • I may be about to lose my current Lemmy account :( (Don't trust Cisco Duo 2FA app)

  • Fun fact, lemmy does have a karma system, it's just hidden from the interface! There's even a public API method that you can use to check your karma.

    Jump

  • Agreed, "we'll have a law against this but won't bother enforcing it" is a terrible way to do things. It just leads to the law being enforced against minorities or anyone the cops don't like.

    Jump

  • The prompt was just "Is drunk cycling legal in the netherlands?". No prompt trickery. It gave a long response with sources that boiled down to "no, but nobody cares". I just found this particular part of the response funny

    • What's an obsolete or incredibly obscure word you think people should know?

    Jump

  • It's archaic english. So yes, I think people will think you're weird. But maybe if you start using it with your dutch friends/colleagues in english-speaking contexts, you can slowly introduce it into common usage in your community. Might be cool.

    Also don't forget "ereyesterday" for the day before yesterday.
