Cralex,

If you work hard, I’ll bet you could have the Pyra in Two Months™️

Cralex,

Zalgo being all informative lately.

Cralex,

Take a mental note that I could review later without worry of forgetting it, for times when jotting something down normally isn’t practical such as while driving.

How do you choose an instance and does that have a significant effect on your Lemmy experience?

I originally chose to make my account on lemmy.world since all the content seemed to come from there. But I’ve since learned that I can fill my feed with stuff from any instance so it feels like it doesn’t actually matter if I’m on lemmy.world or not. At the same time, Lemmy.world seems to be frequently under attack so...

Cralex,

I joined lemmy.one because it presents itself as friendly to beginners/Reddit refugees. On the plus side, it’s worked very consistently and fast. They’re also federated with pretty much everything, so there’s plenty of content to choose from and narrow by subscribing and blocking.

On the minus side, you can’t create communities there and the only communities that exist are chat, meta, and some security and privacy focused communities. So you’ll have to get most of your content from across the ‘verce. (Which it part of the part of the point Lemmy anyway.) Also, as a beginner-friendly instance, there’s some tutorial-ish stickied messages depending on how I set my view settings.

The only significant disadvantage is if I ever want to create my own community, I need another account elsewhere. Otherwise, I’m pretty happy with my choice.

Drum78's [Beta] CFW for Rg-Nano (lemmy.one)

For those not in the know, DrUm78 is the creator of the best firmware available for the FunKey S and Q36 Mini, and has been hard at work on a version for the RG Nano that works with the unit’s unique USB C headphone feature. This beta release brings the firmware up to par with his latest version for other systems, with only...

Cralex,

Qapla’!

I wish people would write some descriptions for their communities

I often browse /all, come across a post that looks interesting but I have no clue what’s it about, so I check the sidebar - and all I find is “An unofficial Lemmy community for X”, " A place to discuss everything about X", or the best kind, “A continuation of r/X from Reddit”....

Cralex,

You might be able to make a [Meta] post in said community and ask for the sidebar to be expanded. Who knows, maybe it’ll work.

[Meta] Discussing Firmware

I was just thinking about creating a community for the Flipper, until I found this place. Out of curiosity, what (if any) is this community’s stance on discussion of alternative firmwares? I ask this because channels linked to the official Flipper Zero team are known to discourage talking about any CFW at all, and some...

What are your favorite hobbies or time killers?

I just graduated optometry school and I feel like I’ve lost a bit of my identity. I didn’t have much free time to focus on the things that make me happy and now I’m lacking inspiration. I can’t work until my license is approved so I’ve had days of doing nothing since May 7. It’s been great but it’s starting to get...

Cralex,

Well, you mentioned Zelda so gaming’s accounted for. I also do some writing. I started out doing it in my head/fanfiction-y and eventually published a couple chapters with more to follow eventually. After simmering things around enough, I got some stories that are good/unique enough to begin writing novels about so I also work on those in my spare time. (Plus a few stories that’d work better in webcomic or GB Studio video game format, but I haven’t started practical work on either yet.)

Aside from that, I dabble in Linux/computers and such.

took a deep dive into how CEO Steve Huffman went from being Reddit's co-founder to its much-needed savior at a difficult moment—and how he then became the villain at the center of Reddit's still-raging protests: https://slate.com/technology/2023/06/reddit-protests-steve-huffman-api-chaos.html

Cralex,

Everyone already mentioned that they’re federated and running on small servers. From a user perspective, Kbin is most similar to Lemmy as they are both similar to Reddit, but they are different in that they are completely different projects. Kbin seems to have fewer instances running right now, so everything on Kbin is a little more concentrated among the instances that do exist. But since you can access both Lemmy and Kbin from either, I’d stick with whichever one has the interface that you prefer.

Mastodon is similar to Twitter in how it looks and how people use it.

Cralex,

I’ve been using Mlem and Memmy. I started out liking Mlem more, but Memmy has really been cranking out new versions lately.

Cralex,

This is the dawn of a new era. The dark times preceding it will fade into legend and myth. Future generations will look back and see these communities as where it all began. Always remember that you mods, new and old alike, didn’t bring down the sword on the old age. You picked it up when the call to action rang out.

Cralex,

Such an eloquently written statement summarizing the situation and the stance of the mods. It truly felt as though the mods of LegalAdviceUK are a force to reckon with.

Cralex,

Such a glorious spectacle, the fall of a once mighty internet giant.

Cralex,

I haven’t watched it much, but my wife really likes it. My advice is simply to avoid Caillou, unless you want your kids to be bratty, whiny, and possibly bald.

Cralex,

We need an instance where every community is full of self-perpetuated botspam. Then every other instance can defederate from it.

Cralex,

The more the merrier!

Cralex,

Yarr harr! All hail the swashbuckling matey of Reddit freedom, John Oliver!

Cralex,

Resistance is futile, mods.

Cralex,

Add ‘Defaults insults’ to the sudo configuration file. Then you can insult your brain when it forgets the password.

Cralex,

Yep, any Linux system with sudo can be configured to insult someone who types in the sudo password wrong. https://itsfoss.com/sudo-insult-linux/

Cralex,

This feels so surreal. I just watched a video the other day about how Apollo used to have a friendly relationship with Reddit. It’s so weird how spez is doing all this mudslinging. No good deed unpunished.
