@fasterthanlime I'll have to double check what I used for my neovim setup on Ubuntu. I remember running into this problem, too.

Woah, they're doing a coup in Russia. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/06/23/russia-war-ukraine-based-on-lie-yevgeny-prigozhin/ (EDIT: non-paywalled link: https://archive.ph/zdagh )

Wagner's chief (aka the only remotely good military over there) is moving against Putin. This being the same "elite military" branch that Putin basically sent out to die in Ukraine, so, um, I imagine they have grievances.

EDIT: The people replying to this are much smarter about tank-and-gun stuff than I am, so for better context of what's tanking and gunning over there please see replies, heh

@glassbottommeg They were the ones the Ukrainian military chewed up in Bakhmut for several months. They just sent waves on men in there and few of the men left that area alive.

"Average person has 7 fedi instances" factoid actually just statistical error.

Instances Jeff, who has seventeen billion instances, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

@LeDiva @faho "Jeff" in this context is an actual person who does in fact host a bunch of different instances on the fediverse, but is also known for being one of "those guys" who believes that being defederated from other people's instances as some sort of violation of his free speech or something to that effect.

The NTY has an article about why CEOs want to return to in-person work and how they are accomplishing it. The first CEO they quote basically says they had to return to the office so he could go back to interrupting people. On Zoom, you have to hear people out.

Seems like a great place to work.

@zoomar It's sort of felt like this push by CEOs to have people return to the office was less about productivity and has always been about control, or at least the perception of control.

Sooooo, wtf is / is up with lemmy ? I've seen discourse abt how to creator of it is like, an open fascist????
And yet pages on here that change their logo to rainbow for just june are boosting the shit out of every mention of it.
(This is a callout of corporate fakeness during june, not my queer mutuals :P)

Is lemmy made by a person who sucks ass?
Followup, should people be promoting it how they are?

Followup to the followup, if it is made by a terrible person, and ppl do know that, than why are they still giving it all this publicity??

zalasur,
@zalasur@mastodon.surazal.net avatar

@FOSSingularity I've looked around and I haven't really seen any mention of this. All of the Lemmy accounts I could find are mostly release announcements and product discussions, so I guess I must be missing something?

Could you provide some insight to where we can find out more?

Lemmy.world appears to be backfilling posts from remote communities I'm subscribing to. One post from a few months ago:

"Why did we stop building with dirt?"

And all I can think is "Because creepers can blow it up too easily."

I sort of feel like the web outside of social media would be a whole lot healthier if everybody's frikkin' blog and website didn't pop up one of those skeezy "Subscribe to our newsletter" dialogs five seconds after loading up the page.

Like, when the hell did that become the norm? Do people actually think interrupting someone while they are reading your content is somehow supposed to boost engagement?

Oh god I just read that article (I'm not linking to the New York Post so you'll have to find it if you want to read it) about what people will look like in 2100 AD if we keep working from home.
