NotACube, in Which is the most satisfying IO connector system, in your opinion?

BNC connector, such a satisfying screw and click into place mechanism.

nickajeglin,

Agree. Twist lock always feels easy to do and secure.

BNC is the one. No idea how this response is that far down and people are saying stuff like “USB-C”. I guess people have no experience with the wonder that is a BNC connector…

mosiacmango, (edited ) in If you could have one small thing as a superpower. What would it be and why?

The abilty to change the color of anything.

Anything that would be improved by paint is on the table at a thought.

Likely way to powerful in a combat sense. You could tag enemy combatiants on a battlefield in dayglo orange or turn the whole landscape into that zebra ship paint they used in ww2. Hell, you could just turn everything bright white during the day and black at night except the enemy. Would be a nightmare.

Still, really neat.

Duamerthrax, in Downvotes = “I disagree” or “this is bad and you should feel bad”?

Downvote for bad technical advise, I think the person is a bad actor/bad faith argument, or if the person turns hostile to ad hominem attacks. I try not to downvote if I’m putting the effort into debating someone.

edit: for clarity

Arfman,

Yeah if someone say something I disagree with but isn’t factually wrong I’ll just leave it be.

GerryMandering,

I agree with this. If I’m scrolling through a Linux forum and someone is stating something demonstrably incorrect, I don’t want someone to stumble on the post and run into difficulties so I always downvote that particular post and upvote the posts with the right answer.

Now, if I disagree with someone that’s different.

Like if I’m in a thread about your favourite tv show, I don’t downvote someone I disagree with because it’s subjective. I might upvote the people I agree with, but it doesn’t seem fair to downvote someone’s opinion.

But some things are either right or wrong, and your example of bad technical advice is one such thing

Nusm, in With the way the world's going, is there even a point to anything anymore?

I mean… I just found Lemmy. So there’s that. 🤷

soyagi, in With the way the world's going, is there even a point to anything anymore?

You’re right. I’d suggest changing your last question slightly: why bother worrying anymore? If you can acknowledge these problems, recognise you’re powerless, and instead focus on your own personal happiness and wellbeing, you might find a bit more purpose and a little less doom and gloom in your life.

Less “world” and more private life, and everything begins to have sense.

darkwing_duck, in With the way the world's going, is there even a point to anything anymore?

That’s literally what they want. You depressed and suicidal. The task is reducing population by like 7.5 billion.

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

I’ve been playing with googles search indexing and my personal instance. My instance is a subdomain named lemmy of my vanity URL I’ve kept for years. One thing I’ve noticed is that even though I run an instance with one user and one community, my personal website under the domain - which is static and lame - has risen from 50th to 23rd with certain search terms.

My point relative to the original question is that lemmy seems to be inherently interesting to googles crawlers and spiders and wtevs.

I still have hobbies and people I wanna keep happy ^^ If there is any hope, giving up closes any and all possibilities. Be the best you can be, until the we know the final resolution.

lazylion_ca, in If we're no longer called redditors, what are we? Lemons? Lemmings? Lemurs?

Lummoxes.

There was never any point. Find your own meaning and don’t give up.

Sigh… Definitely feels like that more and more

Num10ck, in If you could have one small thing as a superpower. What would it be and why?

i could see lies

Even better would be to make people’s lies visible to everyone.

“Something’s going on with this politician! It looks like he’s sweating literal bullshit all over his face! Oh my God the smell! The smell is awful! Oh the humanity!”
