As a mod on Lemmy, I try to be a little more lenient on comments directly replying to me than I am on others.
As for my opinions about how moderating (and voting) on Lemmy should change, I, for one, kinda miss Slashdot’s system with the limited mod points and meta-moderation.
LOL, I’m just saying that a password manager is my best guess at how the guy with the weird username remembers it.
My recommendation is for RFK Jr. to lay off the bath salts but up the dose on the heroin.
Maybe the jury will see this as not only a hate crime, but also escalate to some form of murder charge.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think the jury only gets an up or down vote on the charges presented. The prosecutor would have to decide himself to go for the murder charge.
unrelated but how the fuck have you been remembering your username for over a year
A password manager is a wonderful thing.
His name is Rollie
Whoops! Fixed.
he has on numerous occasions pointed out that larger vehicles are in fact worse than “normal” cars due to their fuel consumption, noise, and lethality to everyone outside the vehicle.
Yes, that’s what I said: “SUVs are worse than regular cars in several ways.” But the point is that the gains from switching from trucks back to cars are marginal compared to the gains from reducing the number of automobiles in general. So if you’re an activist with limited political capital, it’s way better to spend it on zoning reform or bike/ped/transit infrastructure than it is on stuff like CAFE standards or the chicken tax.
what’s called Logithèque in French, and maybe Software manager (or “repository”) in English?
Sounds like the distribution’s “package manager,” or rather, one of the GUIs for it. (Not sure which one because I don’t know what distro you’re using).
In order to understand what things like “AppImage” and other types of “packages” are, I think it helps to know the history.
TL;DR:
Since GNU/Linux is a Free Software OS, in the beginning, everybody had to compile their software from source and manage the dependencies for it manually. This sucked, so Linux distributions started curating the software and “packaging” it to reference its dependencies (that’s why they’re called “distributions” in the first place, BTW). The package manager (e.g. Debian’s dpkg/APT and Red Hat’s RPM) can recursively check for and install all those correct dependencies before installing the program you actually asked it for.
But even that wasn’t good enough (apparently) because it happened on a per-distro basis and because (generally speaking) all the software on the system shared the same version of each dependency, so all the software had to be kept updated in lockstep. So now people have come up with systems like Flatpak and AppImage that are designed to work across distros, include the dependencies with the apps themselves so they aren’t shared with the rest of the system, and in some cases also run the program isolated in a container for better security.
Bottom line is, now there are several ways to install software, with various tradeoffs:
One last thing: GUIs for this stuff started out as interfaces for the distro’s package manager, but are increasingly designed to work with universal packages as well. With the command line it’s generally obvious what kind of package you’re installing (because you’re typing a different command entirely), but with the GUI you have to pay close attention if you actually care whether you’re installing a dpkg or a flatpak. Also, if you see an app listed twice, that’s probably the reason why.
my point is I can mask my online activity as well or better than anyone with endless funds
For now. But we’re not talking about the status quo; we’re talking about a future with comprehensive age verification schemes that render all your current masking tactics impossible or illegal.
That sounds like a personal problem.
Besides, it isn’t “my” top pick anyway; I just cross-posted because it happened to be relevant. Not sure what you expect from me such that you felt the need to whine about it twice.
But thats because cars bring in money, walking and streetcars dont.
That’s even less true. It’s annoying to refute due to vagueness, but whether you’re talking about foot traffic/sales in commercial businesses or property tax revenue per acre, walkable places are way more profitable than sprawl.
No you can’t, because you don’t have the money.
Unfortunattely the cities have already been built, theyre all super spread out, and its not like theyre ever going to knock it down and start again.
No, that’s not true. Even in America, cities weren’t built for cars. They were built for walking and streetcars and then bulldozed for them. We’ve done it once to fuck things up; we can do it again to fix them.
SUVs are worse than regular cars in several ways, but it’s important to remember that Rollie’s focus is on climate and in terms of urbanism regular cars are just as bad because they take up the same amount of space. Emissions and safety for other road users are problems, of course, but fucking up the design of our cities to build huge amounts of extra road width and parking is the biggest problem of all. Not only does accommodating cars inflate our concrete usage (which takes a huge amount of carbon emissions to produce), but it also physically forces our destinations to be further apart, destroying the viability of other transportation modes.
Point is, we can make small improvements by swapping out the worst kinds of automobiles for better ones, but in order to make transformational improvements we have to have fewer of them in total and use them less. Merely switching back to wagons and hatchbacks will not absolve us.
For the record, during the primary and after the election are both definitely “the time.”
The algorithm the grandparent comment suggests is equally random. It’s just that it’s a random sequence rather than a random selection.
Of course there’s some self-serving reason for it. I should’ve known!
My account was suspended sitewide by the admins – not just banned by some mods – for reporting misinformation in r/conservative. Apparently stating the truth is “mod abuse” for those fascist snowflakes and the Reddit admins support them.
No they didn’t. Now they’re just called “#vanlife” and cost a lot more.
now trans people are stuck waiting through 4 years of transphobic hate
This election is to fill the vacancy left by Lindsay Graham (rot in piss), in case anybody was wondering like me why it wasn’t six.
It’s the fault of the parents’ generation for electing Reagan and letting them do it.
