We are all doing better than the "glue yourself to things" people because they're moving things backwards, turning people against climate action, distracting from climate issues.

Right, self-described "climate protestors" aren't necessarily helping the environment.

So you install your own server (apache or nginx or whatever) and also run your own postgresql from the same unmanaged space? And the server software serves both the php app and the database?

Thanks for answering my questions. I've always used managed hosting but it's becoming too limiting and I'm seeking to expand my options.

Do you use unmanaged hosting?

So you're running kbin.pithyphrase.net from your home pc?

"jarred look" lol

Only a brand would think in terms of favorite brands.

Why would it be an n-turn? The n shape suggests you back up before turning. The capital U asserts that you simply turn. That's how I've always done it.

Whoa, I didnt know that guy was involved with reddit. He's the anti-spez.

Are Swartz and Ohanian still around? Are they all trying to cash in?

I can understand wanting to get retirement money out of your long-term project, but we're not obliged to stick around and assist in the degradation of a once-great platform.

Today in Montreal it was beautiful and blue and fresh. I hope it stays that way. I want to keep my lungs and our forests.

Did spez create reddit or did they just hire him?

It depends. If they can still be funny then go for it.

They were hilarious.

Man this defediverse stuff gets tiring

I think they're supposed to be lemmies, not rats

"These days people spend thousands of dollars to visit the sun-kissed islands of the Caribbean. But in the 1700s you could go there for free, if you were black and you didn't want to go there."
-also Cunk

So are they going to hire people to mod all those subs?

I second this. I love the openness of the fediverse but I want robust tools to help me navigate it, including the ability to block.

Thanks!

Okay. I keep reading about docker. What's the difference between a docker and just installing an app on rented server space?

Does each dock (?) have its own server? (Apache or nginx or whatever?)

Does each dock host a whole site, or do you have a dock for your database and a dock for your web app?

Cable costs more than that and still gives you tons of ads. I'm fine with the price.

I use Podcast Addict on Android (both phone and tablet) and it's excellent. I'm using the paid version so it's ad-free. It has a good set of widgets too. Five stars.

I used to use Podkicker Pro, but the paid version started showing ads. So I switched to Podcast Addict Pro and it's excellent.

Arch is low-bloat. But it's also a lot of work.

EndeavourOS is arch-based without the bloat of manjaro.

Mint is non-bloated and it "just works."

Debian is non-bloat, a bit of work to set up, but then it's more "stable" than arch.

If you're ambitious enough to try arch, but you're a beginner, I think Debian is an excellent choice.

I love arch, but I don't recommend it lol.

There's some bots out there just spamming this "advice" for some reason. It's an insane thing to suggest.

How can apps made by small teams or even a single person be better optimized than one supposedly made by a larger team with a larger development budget?

Bloat!

You (a sociopath) may think that shitposters are a necessary casualty of the internet wars, that they belong at the "children's table" of the internet where serious discussions are met with mockery.

But I (a good person) know that these shitposters have the potential to better themselves, and through themselves better the world, by posting thoughtful content instead of the steady stream of drivel and waste that poisons communities and turns sons against daughters, mothers against uncles, and pets against emotional support animal companions.

That's a lot of fine words but the message is clear: nobody needs my critical analysis of shitposting culture more than you. You're clearly locked into the seventh layer of the shitposting inferno.

But I am here for you. I will show you the errors of your ways. I will cure you. I will make you respectable, coherent, emanating wellness.

Nope, I'm here to save your souls and to save the soul of the nation. I'm here for the long run. You can expect a full critical analysis of every shitpost.

this place is called "lemmyshitpost" for a reason... You coming to this specifically secluded place and asking us to talk about more "elite" topics is like asking the landfill manager why there is trash everywhere.

That's why Jesus hung out with removed and pimps and thieves, because they were the ones that most needed to hear his message.

I was referencing the Unabomber

It makes sense that you would be a fan of the unabomber. Shitposting is basically terrorism.

Your belligerent attitude is unbecoming of a sophisticated internet user.

what do you want us to do here? Discuss how the industrial revolution ruined global society as we know it?

If anything the industrial revolution launched global society. There is less starvation and disease than ever before. But we didn't get there by shitposting.

this is c/lemmyshitpost

That's right. I'm delivering the word where it is needed most.

Well I'd like to see a lot more people here. I hope there's something to keep people coming after the Reddit hate wears off. I just want to see social media spread to more platforms generally, and it looks like that's beginning to happen. I'd like it to continue!

@0x4E4F

Okay, so I guess sh.itjust.works is defederated, and I should join an instance that plays along.

@nydas @DamnCatOnMyDesk

Okay somebody quickly code up a free alternative to Linux

A cartoonishly evil character from a washed up franchise? Yep!

@DamnCatOnMyDesk Are you sure that people can actually send messages between apps? I mean, for example, between lemmy and kbin and mastodon?

It seems rather like kbin users can view stuff from other instances and instances of other apps but any comments or messages are saved in your instance as comments on posts of other instances. People on the receiving instance can't see your posts or messages.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. But this is what I've noticed.

EDIT: I just commented on a lemmy post, and then went to rhe actual lemmy site and saw the post. So I guess I was wrong, and people can actually post between apps. Which is honestly amazing.

@nydas

I find something to lose myself in. Some kind of project. Build something. Learn something. It's good for your brain and it gives you some structure, some reward and confidence.

I'll just listen to one song. Just one!
But it's kinda like one big song.

It's a signal boost. You want more people to see it, so you help it rise to the top.

Maybe it's also a high-five. A positive emotional reaction to something you like.
