  • I was here since 2020, there are more "crazies" and average quality of content seem to be down, but a lot more memes and content. open source related subs seem a lot more active here then on reddit but on reddit there are open source developers talking and on here there are non it seems besides those developing stuff for lemmy.

  • You could use github pages and have awesome-lemmy deploy to it and have html web page without all the extra github stuff , it should be relatively easy to do.

    I suggest against creating another project, i see this type of duplication and it really can be confusing (which source do i use?) plus it is a duplication of effort and the fediverse does not really have a lot of contributors unlike companies such as google and facebook.

    On the other hand i am the second most frequent contributor to awesome lemmy and might not be entirely objective.

    If you want a github organisation could be set up for awesome-lemmy and after a while you could become an owner and it won't have the bus factor of 1, maybe we can even set up a "lemmy community" github organisation (something like nix-community) and that could make it easier to discover some projects and if for some project and contributor loses interest another one could be assigned (without all the links and it's name recognition going to waste)

  • Now I don’t like your tone. Your probably one of those people, who vote for the other party.

  • Just sending to random instance without telling the user seems misleading, at would be better to show a list of instances in my opinion (or have "show me more instances".

    Searching for categories by text could also be helpful.

  • Nvidia was worth $1,030,000,000,000 today, but still can’t get their drivers in the kernel.

    tbf that valuation is not really realistic IMO, the ps ratio (valuation divided by income) is 31 , when the average is about 2.4. Its probably overly enthusiastic nvidia customers paying that kind of price. if everybody decide they want to sell all their nvidia shares , $1,030,000,000,000 probably won't be the price.

    If they do something , they need to have a business case for their shareholder saying it helps profits (stuff like pension funds and mutual funds, Jensen Huang the ceo and founder reportedly owns 3.6% so he can still get fired).

    If they spent X money (say in term of engineering hours) they need to expect a profit of at least somewhere around 1.1x.

    TL;DR buy AMD, or at least threaten them you won't buy nvidia.

  • For as many users as lemmy has now, its kind of astonishing how little donations we have, like less than the average youtuber / streamer with a patreon. Its more when we sum up the other platforms, but I’d really like us to be able to add more full-time devs and grow the coop.

    Why look at youtubers when you can look at a open source project?, look at misskey which is very similar , it makes about 4k while having about 10k monthly active users, that's about 0.4 dollar per user.

    Lemmy has about 40k monthly active users and makes about 3962 , about 0.1 dollar per user.

    If you will push the conversation rate to be as high as misskey, that should give you currently about 16K a month (40k * 0.4).

    I have a few ideas about how to increase it, i can open a issue throwing some ideas, for starter (I don't remember if i said this before) the part in the UI where people are suppose to learn lemmy wants donations (the little heart), is probably very hard to notice.

  • Right now it is way too hard to follow discussions on lemmy, you have to keep hunting for new comments that get added, not to mention with github you get email notifications, it's a lot more efficient.

  • "The loss of a formerly-leading and user-friendly game engine to the darker forces that negatively impact so much of the gaming industry has left us dismayed to put it mildly," wrote the Re-Logic team. "We unequivocally condemn and reject the recent TOS/fee changes proposed by Unity and the underhanded way they were rolled out."

    I hope they are not serious about this moralizing , unity is making 1.8B but losing almost a billion a year, either they cut back on expenses or they somehow increase income, i think they might not want to cut back on expenses because they are feeling the heat of open source game engines like gadot or even gdevelop (and that will lead to a inferior product ). I think the same thing is happening with RISC-V and ARM.

    Hopefully there is enough of real financial support for godot and other open source gaming software and not just feel good talk. godot fund almost doubled in funding but that is not close to 1B dollar (but maybe companies are allocating full time developers).
