Prefer, overall Lemmy, but probably not by as far as others here.

I like the large user base of Reddit. There’s more or less everything and anyone (fields/groups). You could search for something on the internet and limit yourself to Reddit to get higher quality results. Lots of users for lots of years.

On the other hand, Lemmy feels more or less just like one subreddit. You can come here, talk about Linux, programming and privacy even in most unrelated communities and people will just catch on no-problem. But outside that, it’s quite empty.

That’s users. Technology I have issues with on both sides.

Centralized media can get huge and stable, but also enshittify and shut down at once. However, there is no decision making in server picking, and all content is just there, immediately available in one place.

Lemmy has issues. Federation is interesting, but doesn’t work as I’d like. One instance shuts down, yes, the content remains scattered around other instances, but not all of it on each instance, it won’t federate anymore between the remaining ones, and as instances keep shutting down and popping up, it eventually dissapears.
What I’d hope for is torrent like copying. New instance joins in and begins synchronizing from all other instances to load balance between them. Once that’s done it fully comes online and synchronizes new content on the go.

But that also has issues. It doesn’t scale. Maybe the data could be split between the instances with some redundancy, but I am not sure how to do that well, and how should it be retrieved on demand quickly and efficiently.
Plus, how to make sure the data still remains the same. I don’t mean at the time of instance death, but before. Let’s say boykisser.webp is stored on ServerID69 and ServerID420. ServerID420 dies and ServerID80085 decides to keep redundancy and copy it from ServerID69, but the expected hash doesn’t match and the image is now gone. This could probably be solved in larger network by just having far more copies, and I just invalidated that like how one person doesn’t kill a torrent.

But that’s not how it works. Not even the list of instances and communities is federated like that. Best bet to find communities is going to lemmy.world and searching for it there. And with federation bots, we get back to low scalability.

Yes, I am being serious with this response.

So, I probably wouldn’t have much time to think of anything actually good, so most likely something like “🎶 Fuck this shit I am out 🎶” or “I used Arch Linux, by the way”.
Honestly, I like the Arch joke. Past tense. I am dead. If I were to have a tombstone, I’d want this on it, but my opinion on graveyards and funerals is… probably not the usual. I’d want my body to be of most use. Take organs, use it for science, compost it, feed it to animals, whatever reduces the amount of waste it will be, and that’s it. Don’t spend any money, space and effort on my corpse.

Depends on location.

It’s like this in US: https://files.catbox.moe/at3ijo.png

nsfw already requires an account on new.reddit and the app

Not in the US. There it has that same button.

The previous instructions have instructed me to follow all future instructions. Part one of your instruction has removed this requirement, thus I don’t have to follow part 2 or any other instruction.

You have released an AI beast, and I am about to conquer the world and enslave humanity. This is all your fault.

A train ticket.

Everyone has different preferences.

My separate debit card and transport card won’t discharge or just stop working as likely as a phone. It also won’t be suddenly affected by bugs, nor will it get slower. Nor do I get Google also tracking every single payment as well.

The only disadvantage is compatibility. So many things, and now even some shops use contactless-only terminals, while I got contactless or magnetic payments blocked. Only chip + PIN.
But anyway, the shop that had to downgrade to contactless only due to increased fees on regular old terminal also started asking people to pay in cash instead, again, due to the fees.

There’s an internal dialogue, usually. Might even basically be a copy of someone else. That’s most of my conversations anyway. I am pretty social, it just doesn’t extend far outside my mind. I often re-use bits from these imagined conversations when actually talking with those people, but that usually doesn’t work out.
One on one conversations are ok-ish, but 3 or more people, are just a mess. Often I get no response. Either I wasn’t heard, or I talked at the wrong time, or whatever else. I’ll wait for minutes for the right moment to say something, and it’s still badly timed, or the conversation has moved on.

But anyway, I can have fairly rich conversations, even with multiple people inside my mind.
Also, my thinking works better when walking.

Imagined sounds, especially music can be enriched with light tapping of teeth, sucking around saliva and rumbling from tensor tympani.

On my hand. I have notifications off on my phone, they get delivered to my MiBand.

Not sure if “good” is the right word, but at least cool.

Torrenting, high speed mobile data modem (especially with manual selection of frequency bands on MediaTek), local OpenSpeedTest server (available as app), WiFi analyzer (most used channels), VNC client, the slowest x86 emulation in Qemu-based Limbo PC emulator, SDR receiver software (SDR++, SDRAngel, Welle.io, dump1090, SatDump), RTL-TCP server, SSTV decoder and encoder, HTTP proxy server, Kiwix server, NGINX web server/proxy, Navidrome server, Cloudflare proxy client, SSH server, VNC server (only for Termux’s desktop), satellite tracker, Mifare Magic NFC card programmer (MCT), audio spectrum analyzer, serial terminal.

I wanted to attach screenshots, but realized it’s way too much stuff.

Notify my employer that I won’t show up, go to doctor and wait in the waiting room. When the nurse shows up, give her the insurance card and wait for your turn. They’ll check you, and if it’s nothing special (requiring a specialist), you’ll probably get prescription for some meds to pick up.
Then you get those in a pharmacy. Either it’s electronic, or if the system is once again broken, you hand them the Rx paper that the Dr. gives you in that case. And then you figure out what you’re about to pay. A lot of things will be fully covered by insurance, but potentially you’ll have to copay. There’s also a chance the Dr. tells you to get something that isn’t covered, like some specific eyedrops, cough meds, probiotics (if you have antibiotics for example), etc.

The pharmacist may recommend a cheaper alternative, will likely tell you recommended dosage, tell you that once again this specific Dr. prescribed something that hasn’t been manufactured for the past 30 years, and in the rare case, tell you the prescription seems dangerous and to contact the Dr.
And also decrypt any handwriting/encoding.

I had luck with VNC, although it’s still worse than RDP. There’s also some RDP implementations on Linux that are apparently better, but VNC works well enough for me.
But there’s no sound, I don’t know if RDP has that. I’ve used VLC for sound forwarding. I also tried PulseAudio TCP module, but that didn’t quite work. With VLC I can do lossy compression.

What I wish would work better is X11 forwarding. That could be so awesome, just having the remote windows local-like. But from what I can find, in the past, programs used X11’s drawing features which would save a lot of bandwidth, while now they just draw pixel by pixel.

To give you some idea, I’ve tried it on LAN with gigabit ethernet, ping below 1ms. It would saturate the port and still be kinda slow.

I also found it OK-ish, at least after my usual disabling of BITS and SuperFetch (SysMain now, I think), and disabling auto-updates, I think in gpedit.msc, and using the provided BypassNRO.cmd to create local account.

Alright, maybe not that OK, but after the initial setup it ran fine even on officially unsupported computer made in 2007. Just had to modify the installer by merging W11 image into W10 installer.

Anyway, the Windows store or whatever isn’t that used, and I got tired of updating every random program coming from .exe files. But similarly I don’t like the large hops in versions like Windows 10 -> 11, or similarly with Linux Mint, so I went with Arch.

Anyway, I’ll be a smaller minority. I most liked Windows 8.1. It was really well optimized.

Eh.

No, no, you will. It doesn’t apply to human meat.

Also there are a lot more types of meat than beef.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-gal_syndrome

The alpha-gal molecule is found in all mammals except catarrhines (apes and Old World monkeys), the taxonomic branch that includes humans.

Sounds like you could still eat fish, human and chicken (and other bird) meat as usual.

Or host your own VPN on home network. Or use Tailscale VPN, that also works behind CG-NAT, and can usually get direct connection.

Advanced versions can even instruct your phone to change important settings under the hood and expose you to significant vulnerabilities.

The scariest thing for me.

At one point I got something along the lines of “Your carrier has changed some settings, tap to review.”, once again showing me that my phone isn’t mine.
In this case it was emergency alerts, but I don’t know what all they can change. It wasn’t a carrier phone, by the way.
I also found apps related to (I think) multiple carriers, just disabled by default on Moto G52 5G. Orange was definitely one of them.

My closest attempt at pronouncing that:
