I think there’s a healthy hue somewhere in between those two maybe. Like my family are my biggest cheerleaders, and definitely incepted me with the idea that I am special and can do anything.

But we never talked about being rich, famous, or compared ourselves to exceptional figures. Probably some working class self leveling behaviour at play there, but it left me feeling I could do anything, but not like it was expected.

I wonder if this desire for fame or absolutely recognition is more a phenomenon in the U.S. I don’t know anyone personally who actually desires it.

Nice. I’m into it (and not just because it’s on my home instance lol). This is one of the few things I miss from mainstream social media.

Whoa now save some for the rest of us

October 19, for anyone looking for the date

Just skimmed but seems like a decent idea. Not that I’ve knowingly run into issues parsing JSON too much

this but ack

Just finishing up Episode 4 of the Quake remaster on nightmare difficulty. Episodes 1-3 were challenging, but my god these exploding bouncy ball “spawns” in E4 are such rage fuel.

Only 3 more levels then I move on to the expansions. First time playing those, so looking forward to it!

Really liking what I’m seeing coming out of Mozilla/FF lately

So I’ve just learned two startling facts. 1) GNU Screen was still in development, and 2) that we used to have a NETHACK option, but it was removed???

From the man page:

nethack [ on | off ]

Changes the kind of error messages used by screen. When you are familiar with the game nethack, you may enjoy the nethack-style messages which will often blur the facts a little, but are much funnier to read. Anyway, standard messages often tend to be unclear as well.

This option is only available if screen was compiled with the NETHACK flag defined. The default setting is then determined by the pres ence of the environment variable $NETHACKOPTIONS and the file ~/.nethackrc - if either one is present, the default is on.

If entrenched capital hasn’t moved off of oil by now they’re just asking to get their lunch eaten by the green push. Can we move off the doomsday juice already? Nothing but laggards and bored investors hanging on at this point

Yeah I’m pretty popular. At this rate I should just add a /wp-admin webpage - according to my logs it’s in very high demand!

I’m not American, but have similar struggles. Is this the kind of thing we can push locally then hope to expand out, or does it really have to come from the top down?

Actually you all probably have more local power than a lot of countries, so lots of opportunity to land and expand

Take a vacation from your hobbies, friend. If you’ve got collaborators, just let them know. They’ll understand

I’ve not heard of this setting so idk. But to not-answer your question, I just make a new account. It doesn’t take long before you’re subbed to all the same things, etc

It depends on your values. In terms of front page content it’s pretty similar, except with more Linux. The niche communities are kind of lacking, but then you get to have entire hobbyist run niche servers like the one I’m on.

IMO that’s where lemmy really shines: as a truly community owned collection of boards.

Exactly

I use blank key caps, and I find it leads to much more comfortable touch typing.

Slower, sure, but cozier also

Another great reason to use a custom, constantly shifting keyboard layout

Imposter Syndrome, I choose you!!
