I’ll tell you yesterday

dubbe, in Why is such a tunnel needed?

Could be for a skii-slope as well. There are similar structures in Are, Sweden for example.

Mr_Blott,

On ski mountains these are usually placed in an avalanche prone area to stop the snow blocking the road

SupraMario, in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?

Project Lazarus…and steins gate has already been said but both are fantastic.

Prisoner of Azkaban was for me the only good Harry Potter movie, because I dig time travel movies

AWittyUsername, in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?

Dark or 12 monkeys. Bodies didn’t start off great but that was also pretty good. Anything time travel has a 10x multiplier for how I judge it though tbh.

AgentGrimstone, in How would you explain Lemmy/Kbin to a Reddit person or to a social media person?

To a Redditor: Basically Reddit

To a social media user: Like other platforms except there’s no following and no one looks at who’s posting the content

Still a bit sad I can’t follow peeps on here. Have to do this on mastodon

You can subscribe to a lemmy user’s rss feed (I know it’s not the same, but close)

Ok, thanks for the headsup. I will do this then.

At least here in kbin I can push a button that sets a user to be followed.

This post is assuming I know what the fuck that is or what one is. I choose Petoria

ramble81, in How long is a wound considered open?

Wounds heal from the inside out. Once bleeding stops it means that it is effectively “closed” as the inside is no longer leaking out. The rest of that is just the layers of skin repairing itself from the bottom to the top.

So as others have said, when it stops bleeding is when it’s “closed”.

lillardfair,

Solid explanation! Thanks

CameronDev, in Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook?

I’m of the opinion that computer textbooks are out of date the second they are published. That one was published in 2017, so 6 years ago, which is an eternity. It might have some generally useful advice, but in terms of resources, google and online wikis are going to be more up to date (still probably outdated, but less so, and free).

banneryear1868,

I like how computer textbooks organize general concepts, similar to what I got out of formal education.

Tippon,

Yeah, exactly this. Your best bet is to sign up to one of the Linux communities here and read through some of the posts.

Braindead,

The big difference is that a book is structured to teach you bit by bit. One of the issues of learning a new subject is that you don’t know what you don’t know. Something structured like a book solves this.

That being said, a six year old book is ancient when talking about computer related stuff…

0x4E4F,

Maybe just the basic GNU tools that come with every dostro, but other than that… yeah, that is ancient.

Though implementation specifics may change, the foundational concepts remain the same.

SgtAStrawberry, in You have to spend the rest of your life in a micronation. Which do you choose?

The Republic of Jämtland, very nice place. I even have friends there.

TurtsnGurt, in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?

Bodies (2023) on Netflix. I found it in my suggestions and thought the premise was intriguing so I decided to give it a watch. I ended up binging the entire season. It won’t likely get a second season but it seems the writers planned on it just being a one off.

cathyk, in What country are you using lemmy from?
@cathyk@lemmy.world avatar

CA, USA

ByteJunk, in What do you call this place?
@ByteJunk@lemmy.world avatar

I need to know where this is, I’m sure I’m going to come across a door with this rune

nvermind, in You have to spend the rest of your life in a micronation. Which do you choose?

I visited Molossia a while ago, dude was awesome and super friendly. Plus the weather in Molossia is always perfect, although with the close borders with Nevada sometimes the bad weather from the US bleeds in.

MigratingtoLemmy, in Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook?

It’s funny that this is on AskLemmy and not some linux-specific community. Reinforces the image that Lemmy users are the more computer-savvy people (which I find great!)

0x4E4F,

And the very same reason why everyone who isn’t tech savvy left Lemmy after the first wave… sorry, but that’s the cold hard truth.

MigratingtoLemmy,

You don’t need to be savvy to use Lemmy. I don’t understand how this perception came to be. It’s just that the crowd here is somewhat savvy

Valmond,

To be fair IMO you at least need some mindset that like okay this isn’t working, how can I tackle that? Rage isn’t sufficient in the long term and Lemmy itself isn’t exactly user friendly just yet.

It’s a bizarre new medium after all. I love it, maybe partly because of it.

MigratingtoLemmy,

Define “bizzare”. You don’t need to understand too much of federation to be able to use Lemmy.

Depending on what works and what doesn’t, that mindset may or may not be required to use Lemmy.

I like Lemmy enough that I will likely spin up my own instance at some point

Valmond,

The keyword here is "don’t need to understand too much " which is more than for TikTok or Reddit.

It’s not (yet) very streamlined either, it’s a little bit of work to make your stream of information coming etc.

Like how a server doesn’t show you all the communities, “only” those users on that server have already subscribed to (+the locals).

Not that hard but harder than TikTok :-)

0x4E4F, (edited )

I would argue that now, it’s as user friendly as Reddit is. But, alas, now is too late 😔. There was a wave of instances dissappearing over night (vlemmy, fmhy, etc.), mods abusing power and… well, that crowd just felt safer with commercial media. At least their data and shared images won’t drown into oblivion if an instance owner decided to just close shop 🤷.

Valmond,

Weell, I mean it’s not far far away but tell me how to make a correct link on Lemmy (and I will not ask for the meaning of 20047 or the Englishy greenish color 😉):

Seems to work for someone:

lemm.ee/post/!art[@dnzm

Works in a browser:

lemmy.ml/c/watercolor

Should work but if I paste it in the search bar of say Jerboa, it doesn’t find anything:

!watercolor

It will all fall together in the end IMO but there are still a couple things to iron out.

Must say I like the smaller world here where everything (almost nothing?) isn’t driven by some dopamine kick selling point😊

For disappearing communities, it’s a shame but I hope it’s just communities thinking they could be new Reddit subs, which IMO is (excepted small established niche subs) very different from at least what I think a Lemmy community ‘should’ be.

We’ll see :-)

0x4E4F,

and I will not ask for the meaning of 20047 or the Englishy greenish color 😉

It’s NO in ASCII and I’m not a native English speaker… and this thing doesn’t have auto correct, underline or suggestions 😒 (Jerboa).

The correct way to share a community on Lemmy (so that apps recognize it as a Lemmy community) is with an exclamation mark, as in your last example. The search in Jerboa (as is with other apps) is broken, doesn’t work like it should. Use the web UI search on your instance, you’ll find the community.

Valmond,

Thanks, and it works today, guess my instance had some hiccup yesterday…

Ah yes of course! I was thinking of the leet codes put in stack memory or something 😁 (like IIRC Nintendos DS compiler put 0xDEAD all over it some other was 0xC0FFEE… etc, it was to catch stack overflows).

0x4E4F,

Hmm… didn’t know that… but that makes sense 👍… the overflows I mean… good tip, thanks 😉.

MigratingtoLemmy,

I don’t understand what problem you’re trying to describe. The first link is incomplete, and the second one takes me to the watercolour community on Lemmy.ml.

Valmond,

Yeah IDK, it didn’t work yesterday, now they do…

0x4E4F,

It didn’t use to be like that after the first wave, with comms such as sewing, there were some gardening subs as well… the only one that kinda took off was the woodworking sub, that’s it.

I opened a few subs myself, related to tech, but not really computer related, none of them took off, only a few posts at the beginning and that was basically it, no new posts whatsoever.
