I’m kinda surprised you can see us peasants from that high horse.

douglasg14b, to asklemmy in Do you think Jon Stewart should run for president of the United States?
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

Is that because of who he is or because of his TV personality?

How about we stop encouraging celebrities to hold political office…?

douglasg14b, to memes in So that's it, huh? We're some kind of Suicide Squad?
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

Because it’s targeting the lowest common denominator.

It’s generalizing the writing so that it generally appeals to generally everyone to increase engagement. This means that the show loses its specific attractions and it just becomes another generic TV show based in a different world.

Damn, I texted mine recently and she told me to get over it and grow up :/

Hurts man.

Just like others with a missed , obvious, opportunity.

I had a girl take me to a room, take her clothes off, and then just look at me and and ask “Well?”

I had no fucking clue what she meant or what to do so I just did nothing. She then changed into different clothes and left.

douglasg14b, to asklemmy in What are the facts you remember for no specific reason
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

If I was able to remember them on cue I would probably be a lot more interesting of a person.

The topic has to seed first and then all of the information I know about it rushes in.

How do you effectively call this kind of BS out in professional social situations?

douglasg14b, to linuxmemes in I don't...
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

Might as well be someone on lemmy since you reposted it here?

douglasg14b, to selfhosted in Self-hosted or personal email solutions?
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I use firstname@thelastnames.co

And EVERY DAMN PERSON corrects .co to .com

Unfortunately the .com.and .net are both used.

It’s not necessarily a moving target when entire blocks can be associated with Google.

douglasg14b, to selfhosted in Nextcloud Performance Improvements
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

Depends on how you’re using it. You can wrong an absolutely insane amount of performance out of postgres that you cannot with MySQL.

I wonder how much next cloud leaves on the table?

douglasg14b, (edited ) to selfhosted in Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds like a common software issue. All the features where developed to 80%, and then moved on to the next feature. Leaving that last, difficult, time consuming, 20% open and unfinished.

It’s the difference between more corporate or Enterprise projects and FOSS projects in a lot of ways. Even once that project matures and becomes a more corporate product the same attitude towards completeness and correctness tends to persist.

(not saying foss is bad, just that the bar tends to be lower in my experience of building software, for many legitimate reasons).

It’s “cultural” in a way depending on the project.

douglasg14b, to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

One part about this you may be surprised about is that the random updates to software tend to be pushed by UX designers in my experience.

They want to do “something”, and that’s something often is changing something that currently works. Or pushing for design that goes against UI best practices because it’s their pet.

…etc

Actively unhelpful, dismissive, comments that shut down discussion or actively unhelpful comments.

douglasg14b, to asklemmy in What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?
@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

It’s either your wallet or your personal information…

A surprisingly and insanely expensive to run and manage a search engine that isn’t just a reskin on bing (DDG). Even more so when you can’t mine your users for data.

Kagei is doing really good stuff and the quality of results I get are much higher. The $10/m is it easily paid off within even a day or two’s use in my normal job. Never mind all the personal research that I do.

Is a different model that is a not providing you with the best results that you are looking for. As opposed to steering you towards ads or towards partnerships. I like it.
