savoy, to linux in what caused you to get into Linux?
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Apple.

I uses to be a huge Apple fan pre-2010. Everything worked, was smooth, wasn’t Windows, and it was fun trying out the terminal despite it being pretty useless for most things on Mac.

At the new decade is when it felt like Apple was becoming what it is today: a walled garden with priority of mobile devices at the detriment of Macintosh. Started to really look at Linux as an alternative (only tried Ubuntu in a VM around the time of Unity coming out) early 2010s, but didn’t make the full leap until around 2013 when I installed Linux Mint and got a Raspberry Pi to begin to mess around with. Now I solely run a mix of Debian and Void on all my machines and I couldn’t be happier.

savoy, to matrix in Hosted Matrix experience vs self hosted
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I’d recommend conduit if you’re self-hosting, especially on limited resources. Very easy to set-up and fast, and although not on feature-parity with Synapse, it does now have Spaces and threading support which is huge

savoy, to random in Been trying Void Linux
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I adore Void; it’s been my daily driver for about 5-6 years now. Simple, fast, easy to configure, and the Void Handbook does a great job of detailing Void-specific items that you wouldn’t necessarily be able to find in the Arch Wiki, for example.

the package manager’s command to install stuff is kinda hard to remember but does its job well

xbps is incredible and very fast, but if you’re having trouble remembering the commands or just don’t want to have to type the chain, I’d recommend looking at vpm. It’s a very apt-like way to manage it e.g. vpm update vs xbps-install -Su and vpm search <package> vs xbps-query -Rs <package>

savoy, to tea in What teas do you have on hand and drink regularly?
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Genmai Cha is a staple for me, I’ll always have that around. Other than that I usually have two or three oolongs (Formosa and Jade right now), a black or two, and a few other greens. Really love the Jasmine Pearls I have right now too

savoy, to patientgamers in Thanks everyone! (appreciation post)

This is really the only general video game community I followed on reddit given how young/toxic a lot of the other subs would be, so I'm glad for the community growing here on lemmy!

savoy, to reddit in I made the mistake of checking Reddit (using my last few days of Apollo) and came across a complaint about Lemmy that flabbergasted me

This is what I've been using for a few days: https://github.com/soundjester/lemmy_monkey

savoy, to coffee in What are some good coffee roasters in your area?
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

In the US, but the only experience I have is with Counter Culture Coffee. I feel like their prices aren't necessarily cheap, but their coffees, especially their single-origins, are delightful!

savoy, to lemmy in Short video uploads like v.redd.it
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I've also heard about saint.to which could be an option

savoy, to genzedong in More hilarity over lemmy.ml, I gotta say libs do add a lot of entertainment value to the site
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

And we're the ones who want to exist in self-affirming spaces? Liberals can't see the hypocrisy of decrying the far-right yet acting exactly like them.

savoy, to coffee in Does anyone else enjoy mediocre work coffee machine coffee?
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Working from home has made me so glad I don't have to experience office coffee! That used to be my backup if I forgot to brew my french press or didn't have enough time.

savoy, to newcommunities in a community for anti-authoritarian leftist firearms enthusiasts

This is what makes our group different from the white anarchist — besides he views his group as already free. Now he’s striving for freedom of his individual self. This is the big difference. We’re not fighting for freedom of our individual selves, we’re fighting for a group freedom.

This is the clearest description on the fundamental core of anarchism; Huey put it perfectly. It just shows that anarchists have more in common foundationally with libertarians than actual socialists. Anarchists are individualists, and as such, see any fight towards the collective liberation of society at odds with their line of thinking. It's also why anarchism is predominantly seen as a Western phenomena; individualism is central to capitalism, and especially the US (i.e. "rugged individualists"), so in ther mind they attempt to consolidate the two forms of thinking: they want to keep the benefits of being the privileged of the world in the center of imperialism and keep in line with its alienated and individualist nature, but twist what liberation would mean for the working class into an edgy ideology of "no gods, no masters".

Anarchism or Socialism really hones in on that point as well.

The point is that Marxism and anarchism are built up on entirely different principles, in spite of the fact that both come into the arena of the struggle under the flag of socialism. The cornerstone of anarchism is the individual, whose emancipation, according to its tenets, is the principal condition for the emancipation of the masses, the collective body. According to the tenets of anarchism, the emancipation of the masses is impossible until the individual is emancipated. Accordingly, its slogan is: “Everything for the individual.” The cornerstone of Marxism, however, is the masses, whose emancipation, according to its tenets, is the principal condition for the emancipation of the individual. That is to say, according to the tenets of Marxism, the emancipation of the individual is impossible until the masses are emancipated. Accordingly, its slogan is: “Everything for the masses.”

Clearly, we have here two principles, one negating the other, and not merely disagreements on tactics.

savoy, to football in [MailOnline] Peter Drury will become Sky Sports voice of the Premier League after Martin Tyler's departure from the broadcaster after more than 30 years of service
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I'm just glad NBC will use his commentary as well as he's one of the few I can stand

savoy, to mildlyinfuriating in People are literally stealing grass in this neighbourhood
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

No to lawns! Yes to native plants!

savoy, to rustlang in Lemmy is in serious need of more devs [CROSS POST]
@savoy@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I've been meaning to keep practicing Rust to hopefully contribute (since 2020), but I never have enough time :/ I'm hoping towards the end of the year I'll have time to get back into it; I could even have time to start the few side projects I've kept off!
