Today, in Do you have a sibling? What is the relationship like?

Only child, but i have a BIL. He’s an alcoholic asshole. I feel bad that I’m not closer with my niece and nephew. I know they could use some reasonable, loving adults in their lives.

_cerpin_taxt_, in Do you have a sibling? What is the relationship like?

I have two older brothers. One is an unhinged hypochondriac that’s gets off on fighting with people, and the other is a white supremacist. Haven’t talked to either in about 5 years. I have a brown daughter.

someguy3, (edited ) in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

Completely depends if you need to carry it around.

For best of both worlds: Docked laptop with full monitor and maybe keyboard. You can find monitors everywhere for cheap.

raubarno, in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

Ideally, I’d use a high-performance stationary computer as a workstation and a laptop as a terminal (for small work and SSH access).

However, it would by more expensive, not power-efficient, you would always need an internet connection for your laptop, a static IP address and you will need to handle power outages/unexpected shutdowns for your computer.

Edit: So this is why I use a laptop nowadays.

someguy3, in What's the best Android/iPhone app for Lemmy?

I like jerboa on list view.

gun, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?
@gun@lemmy.ml avatar

You are either camping with other people or are in some kind of military activity. You don’t want to poop because you are embarrassed of how it smells and the people you were with on a previous occasion gave you an extremely hard time over it. Did I guess right? Please, poop in a hole or something, whatever it takes

You left out fetish, phobia, paid orgy, trying to convince someone that you live on a diet of sunlight, and stranded in a submarine as potentials.

banana_meccanica, in Do people become less of a twat as they age?

Everyone get more softy when about to die or even when understanding the vulnerability to not be able to make it alone. Age dosnt matter. Is about experience.

S_204,

Not everyone…I dated someone in my 20’s, their grandmother was a real asshole to everyone. Even to her dying days, she was throwing things at the door as her son would be coming into the room. Pretty fucked up, I still think back about it as there is someone in my life who’s in pretty bad shape but still doing the same shit to push people away from them. Turning soft on your deathbed isn’t going to help when no one will show up for you at that stage anyways.

banana_meccanica,

Sure there is always exception, still an old grandma can act bad but needs also to get accepted. If the question is take as simple prospective then be grumpy or terrible isn’t in fact associate at the real inside, that real who comes out in actually crisis like the death. Morally speaking you are right, but in life I think morals are most storytelling that true human virtues.

hoodlem, in Do people become less of a twat as they age?

Less of a twat, but more cranky.

I was desktop-only during my whole college studies and gotta say, I really enjoy the freedom that working from a laptop gives you (especially being a remote worker). I like the fact that I can now dedicate my desktop setup for gaming and entertainment, it keeps work and daily life separated :)

Yearly1845, in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

For work I use a laptop

Hazzia, in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

Porqué no los dos?

But frfr I can’t imagine not having both. I’ve got enough power on my desktop to run modern games, do graphical rendering, run IDEs, and fuck around online pretty much simultaneously. Then I have a ThinkPad T14 for leaving the house to pretend I’m touching grass while actually just doing more developer shit.

buckykat, in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

Laptop and Chromebook are two very different things. A laptop is sufficient for any use case that doesn’t demand GPU power, but if you’re ever considering buying a “gaming” laptop, don’t. You can get a cheap laptop and a decent gaming desktop for the same price and they’ll last you longer and run better.

A Chromebook is just walled garden bullshit.

Nemo, in Do you prefer PC or laptop?

Aren’t all laptops PCs?

Oh, rereading, I see you’re talking about netbooks specifically, which, yeah, are kind of not really PCs.

I prefer PCs for most things, no real preference for desktop or laptop as long as I can use a mouse; I usually do desktop because they’re cheaper to build and usually quieter.

Netbooks are fine for classwork, browsing, and webdesign in most cases.

jayknight,

PC is a funny word. You can ask Mac or PC (From the era when PC was short for IBM (compatible) PC (vs Apple’s PC offerings). But apparently laptop vs PC is also a distinction for some people.

Nowadays I think of a PC as a computer that isn’t a dedicated headless server. Or maybe one that isn’t a work station for your professional work?

Anyway, is really a term from a bygone age.

empireOfLove, in How can we improve Lemmy’s SEO so we can google “(question) lemmy” instead of relying on “(question) reddit”

Lemmy and other federated systems being spread out across individual instances does make things more difficult. Normally you could just do “site:reddit.com” and automatically filter all results to be from Reddit. But you can’t do that because your result could be on any one of hundreds of instances, many of which do not have “lemmy” in their title.

It appear reasonably large instances like lemmy.one have been indexed, i got results using site:lemmy.one. and for those larger instances, they should still be able to index federated content.

@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe I’m misinterpreting what you’re saying, but lemmy.one has basically no content on it other than the 8 communities that @jonah has created or allowed there. The whole point of that server is to allow people to simply login and then participate in other instances from there.

That is all to say, lemmy.one would be one of the “smaller” instances from a standpoint of content to be indexed by Google.

MigratingtoLemmy,

Probably talking about lemmy.world

Kichae,

The whole point of that server is to allow people to simply login and then participate in other instances from there.

In order for users on lemmy.one to interact with content on other instances, lemmy.one has to import and host that content. So, it has plenty of content on it, just most of it originated elsewhere. That remote content should be just as indexable as local content.

DarraignTheSane,
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

I didn’t quite realize that, figured that when you were viewing another instances’ content it was loading from that instance. I guess that means that Lemmy content across all instances has loads of redundant copies.

Kichae,

Yup. It's mirrored content all the way down.

subnuggurat,

Noob question here. Does that mean each instance must hold the totality of the content it knows about?

Kichae,

I'm not sure how lemmy or kbin handle instance-hosted media links -- whether they import the media and redirect the link, or whether they point to the original media object -- but otherwise, yes.

There are ways to access other websites directly from within a given website -- iframes and the like -- but that's not what happens here. Each website is independent of each other, and all text is locally hosted in your instance's database.

There are also (limited) copies of user profiles all over the place -- if you click on my username, for instance, you'll be taken to lemmy.world/u/Kichae@kbin.social. That's a local lemmy.world user address, even though I'm not on lemmy.world. I can't login to that account -- it's either credentialless, or has randomized credentials -- but it exists. And by going there, you get to see what lemmy.world knows about my activity across the fediverse. Without ever leaving lemmy.world.

subnuggurat,

Thanks a lot for the explanation!

Nikki, in What movie did you rewatch most often?
@Nikki@lemmy.world avatar

The Matrix

Every rewatch I notice something new

Same here, must be over 50 times since 99 when it first came out on dvd. Most of those in the first few years showing off my flash new dual disc dvd player!
