Linus would like to have a word with you

there are 10 kinds of people.

• those who understand binary
• those who don’t
• those who know ternary exists

Zeno’s Paradox, even though it’s pretty much resolved

Lol. It pretty much just decreases the time span you look at so that you never get to the point in time the arrow reaches the apple. Nothing there to be “solved” IMHO

one of the main reasons the linux kernel is where it is today: “never break userspace”

unfortunately not every project keeps to this principle.

no package manager should put stuff into /usr/local, thats why its /usr/local. package manager should only put stuff into /usr/… not /usr/local. In the past some mainframes mounted these directory via nfs to do some kind of software management. It contains global stuff that is not managed by the package manager. install some software via “tarball and make” and it most likely puts everything into /usr/local/…

It’s the best location for your needs. /home/shared is a bad idea. /home is reserved for home directories not some shared stuff.

/usr/local is specifically what you are asking for. i would put themes to /usr/local/share/themes for example. chances are gtk will already look there. You can manage permissions inside /usr/local as you like. since the package manager doesn’t care for that directory there is no problem. giving write permissions only to root still is a good idea. it suggest to learn to use sudo when you are working on your system.

Why are you so angry? I never meant or even said what you are implying i did. Quiet the contrary: read the wikipage again, its about when it is justified to act like the side you want to ban.

People are intolerant. Let’s not tolerate them. Now we are intolerant:

wtf, my muscle memory is impacted?! fuck the environment! /s

how anyone can take the IEA predictions seriously is beyond me:

in the past it usually took a few days for someone to get it working again, but this time it might be some kind of cheat detection.

fortunately dota works as a substitude drug for me

I have played lol for 10 years. Last week, due to some updates lol doesn’t run on Linux at the moment, I switched to dota. I know exactly what you are talking about.

They care…for the money

Sure and there are pages helping you find communities, but there isn’t that one central instance that works as a frontend to all the decentralized content.

I really wish to get a solution that builds of a free protocol, not on a single centrally managed instance of something that gives disproportional power to the instance hoster.

I fucking love the idea of activity pub. Everything can talk to everything and offer different features for different requirements like forums, short messages or even video distribution.

Internet, as much as anyone acts like it’s not, is in its childs steps. We should really make sure in 100 years it’s a communication tool for the masses, not another advertising platform.

OSS and open protocols are so important for the future. Who cares if some people feel overwhelmed by adding an @instance to some handles?!

Sorry for my bad English btw. ;)

Give it time I would say. Nobody cares about not having a central mail index, because everyone is used to how email works.

Now with Lemmy we are changing the central approach of reddit to a decentralized one like email. It’s not a big problem if you ask me, it’s only that people don’t like change. Still, I think it’s crucial that we stay with the decentralized approach instead of creating the same problems we had with reddit/facebook/twitter and the likes.

We did it the wrong way nummerous times. This time, let’s be patient and please do it the right way for once.

And don’t forget that the big corporations are already trying to undermine the new approach. Look at meta and threads for example.

It’s like email: it doesn’t matter if you have an @gmail.com or @microsoft.com address, you can send and receive mail to/from anybody. Lemmy accounts and communities consist of a name which includes the instance, just like e-mail.

That’s it, I don’t think a regular user needs to know more.

They should have send an air balloon instead…

Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition

catching a car fire in the parking lot […] notifying […] employees so they could move their cars, preventing the loss of hundreds of cars.

sounds like a really bad idea. there is a reason everyone needs to leave the office when a fire alarm happens.

I think another good analogie is the human eye. Only the center has high resolution, everything around it is rather shitty, but you never realize that, because the stuff you focus on is always in the center.

Try to look at your self into your eyes the mirror while you are not looking at yourself :)

if it’s to cheap, the market wont be able to profit enough, so I’m pretty sure they will find a way to squeeze us dry anyway
