Open Source@lemmy.ml•Visual Studio Code alternatives for Linux?English
5·2 years agoI am aware of this one, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think I’ll start using Kate, and contribute whatever features I’m missing if I can.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your opinion of online moderators? Do you think of them as an ally or an adversary?English
3·2 years agoExactly. I’m a mod in a few subreddits, the biggest of which is /r/Showerthoughts. People don’t notice our existence unless we interact with them directly, and you rarely interact with users unless to ban them or to remove their content. So it is expected to be hated.

World News@lemmy.ml•West Bank ‘not occupied’ territory, says Ron DeSantis
13·2 years agoHe is not denying that they are building settlemens. He just doesn’t consider it occupation. Anything for more donors, I suppose.
Alright, so you don’t acknowledge the problem, still fits the definition.
I’d hate for our discussion to be about semantics, but I’m saying that we don’t believe in the problem. If I’d say “Hey, regarding the vampire situation, you have your head in the sand, because you won’t acknowledge the problem”, it wouldn’t be an accurate statement.
unwilling to recognize or acknowledge a problem or situation
I’m not saying that we are unwilling to recognize a problem, the problem itself is greatly exaggerated, or even non-existent.
Yeah I agree. I’m mostly talking about what you’ll find on Twitter and big subreddits.
I’m almost the same as OP, but I wouldn’t call it “head in the sand”. For the past few years, the media has been exaggerating everything and creating mass hysteria. If you follow the news closely, you’ll think the world is about to end: Wars, economical depressions, climate changes, new pandemics, etc…
Stop following the news, and you won’t notice a thing. Probably the price increases, but other than that, your life is the same.

Linux@lemmy.ml•The year of Linux on the desktop is closer. Linux reaches 3% of desktops
25·2 years agoCounting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.
It’s been a while since I used Jerboa. Will give it a try. Thanks to all contributers.
When you reach the point of dehumanizing an entire population, you should stop and think about the amount of shit the media has filled your head with.
Check the post date.
I posted this 2 years ago.
Yeah I posted this 2 years ago. The way “Active” sorting works in Lemmy, is you see the posts with recent comments. Someone commented on this, pushing it back to the front page.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?English
141·2 years agoHackerNews has an interesting approach: You can’t downvote comments unless you reach a certain amount of “Karma”, and you can’t downvote posts at all, you can “flag” them, meaning you think they don’t belong here. Flagging doesn’t affect the vote count, but massive flagging does make the post appear lower in the feed, and alerts mods.
This, alongside the tight moderation and zero-tolerance towards flame wars in the comments makes HackerNews one of the best places on the internet imho.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?English
51·2 years agoSame. For me, upvote = adding something to the conversation. That’s why I upvote most comments I come across, and rarely downvote people.

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest TacticEnglish
12·2 years agoThough if Twitter goes under, I’m sure Facebook will have a hard time explaining why they aren’t a monopoly. That has been taken seriously before.

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest TacticEnglish
82·2 years agoI mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it’s the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.








Hmm, interesting. Where are you from?
