What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

gnuplusmatt,

my instance has downvotes disabled - it allows me to move on with my life. Only upping just seems more zen

gnuplusmatt,

I thought you were going to talk about rebasing between different OStree branches without reinstalling. Would have been more interesting than this, and a feature many people overlook of Fedoras atomic distros

gnuplusmatt,

I felt lemmy was successful the first time I was attacked by a hyperfixated debatelord just like on reddit. If cloning the reddit experience in the fediverse was the goal, for me mission accomplished 👍

gnuplusmatt,

winget install Google.Chrome

Windows has a package manager like a big boy OS these days

gnuplusmatt,

But the humour is like at its highest like 15% of the show

gnuplusmatt,

there are levels of data hygiene and levels of inconvenience people willing to put up with. Pumping less data points into the machine is still better than pumping more

gnuplusmatt,

it was a difficult choice - I pushed for them all to join signal, but there were some holdouts.

Whatsapp was e2ee, which discord is not. Discord can run in a webbrowser or a sandboxed flatpak on my desktop. All messengers suck, what ya gonna do?

gnuplusmatt,

We’re a weird mix of nerds in our mid to late 30s, some care enough about privacy to not have Facebook, but had been on whatsapp since pre meta.

Some refuse to install new apps, because “ugh not another one”

Definitely a compromise

gnuplusmatt, (edited )

discord is my compromise platform, because the only other platform all my friends could agree on was whatsapp, and fuck meta

gnuplusmatt,

Lspci should list all your pci devices, one of which will be your WiFi adapter. Confirm its make and if it requires a kernel module. I would bet it’s a broadcom

gnuplusmatt,

You know that testosterone is required to maintain muscle mass, right?

gnuplusmatt,

they’re asking for you to hand over your wallet, repeatedly

gnuplusmatt,

except if the hardware is newish, or they want to get off xorg

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

gnuplusmatt,

Agreed, it gets a lot of hate tho. Directors cut is definitely superior

gnuplusmatt,

is that a hovering BB8 with claw attachment?

gnuplusmatt,

interesting - is chromeOS not carrying the modified glibc that allows higher widevine compliance since it moved to running its chrome as a separate process from the windowing system?

gnuplusmatt,

I recently watched GenV, so many Boys references and world things that I’ve restarted The Boys.

gnuplusmatt,

I use used to use KDE’s Keysmith until I put all my OTP codes into bitwarden
