Not sure if this is obscure or not: I have F12 bound to cycle through the low- to high-contrast versions of my color scheme so I can keep working when the sun hits my shitty laptop screen.

Even then, Reddit has accumulated so much technical advice over the years, I hope I can still find archived posts this way, if ever it truly does crash and burn.

systemd isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely a net plus for me when compared with older init system. In case anyone’s interested, this talk summarizes the key points pretty well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo

Even if the active ingredients are already known, developing a new mode of application for an existing drug is an enormous accomplishment for a student his age. Plus, the alternative (minors doing experiments with unapproved drugs) is likely illegal, so there’s only so much they could do.

Okay, but what if it also isn’t a geometric object connecting two points in spaces of dimension two or higher?

My grandpa is like this, but hearing him light up during the “hello” and his usual laughter still mean the world to me.

At least in my own bubble, many did switch to Mastodon. Those that didn’t are looking at other options, because the whole federation idea and things like home instances didn’t appeal to them or were simply too complicated (they want a service that at least hides its decentralized nature).

I mean, yeah, I’m on Lemmy and lots of other sites in the Fediverse, but why would that make me “know better”? Is my account supposed to give me some profound insight that sets me apart from the plebs on other sites? What I begin to know unfortunately is that the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular would be much more popular if it wasn’t so full of self-absorbed comments like this. The sole point of this post was to share something I found interesting that day, but if the mere mention of services that aren’t Lemmy provokes these kinds of comments, then I fear Lemmy will never make it out of obscurity.

Personally, when it comes to Lemmy’s user numbers, I’m more concerned about the condescending tone that keeps getting worse and worse on here than I am about people posting memes about the broader social media landscape. But we don’t have to agree on which of these is more or less helpful.
