This was at the top when I opened the thread and I’m glad I read it. Anyone who downvotes you is doing it because you are contradicting their biases. Your comment gave me something to think about.

I think the reason everyone is applauding this is because liberals/left-leaning have read enough literature to confirm the dangers of alcohol and other strongly addictive substances. Newer research shows the positive effects of psychedelics but they’re yet unproven as categorically better than other prescription medications.

When lemmings (who are mostly very left leaning and decently educated) see people doing things that can show the positive effects of psychedelics, they applaud it without much critical thought.

Comments like yours not being downvoted to oblivion and then hidden are the reason that Lemmy is still decent. For now

Android syncthing announced they’re stopping development this year. Open source got fucked double today

This was my first thought. I haven’t had the same os installed for a few months max, nevermind 3 years

Agreed. Took me a moment to realise they didn’t drop to zero. !dataisugly

No comments in 6 hours and the post has been deleted

Several downvotes with zero comments to refute or discuss your point. Some devs don’t like you calling them out

Does her gymnastics title make her more valuable to society?

Read this in Tina Belcher’s voice. Might be watching too much Bob’s Burgers

Interviewing is a very specific muscle. You should try and do as many as you can. It’s also something you should regularly practice, even if you have a job you love and never want to leave. I’d say every year or two, just go and interview at a half dozen companies for roles that could be interesting to you.

I’ve just been through several rounds of interviews with different companies for a tech role. You want to build a brand and learn to communicate it to others. This doesn’t mean you need to write a laundry list of skills that you’ve obtained but rather define who you are and practice explaining that to strangers.

Nothing can prepare you for an interview scenario except and interviews. I’ve been in customer facing roles as well as being the interviewer and the only thing they have in common with being interviewed is that you’re sharing a table with someone else.

Good luck for tomorrow!

Gamifying the voting incentivises people to make low quality posts and comments. That’s why Reddit is now basically just rage bait fake stories with comment chains that all look exactly the same. And now it’s all just ai generated anyway.

I sometimes visit and read the AITAH type stories and I’m dumbfounded that people can believe or enjoy reading them. All the subtleties and nuances of the early days are gone and it’s a race to who can karma farm the hardest.

The other thing that made Reddit great in early days were the small communities being visible on the front page. It made the content varied and there were different types of posting hitting front page. I think Lemmy is struggling with this because politics is just so loud that we don’t have enough volume of other content being made.

What does “general” mean in this context?

In prefer not feeding Ooklas data, openspeedtest doesn’t use their servers and is also selfhostable

I prefer OpenSpeedtest. It’s also selfhostable so none of this “no server” nonsense

This is a Linux community and most of these terms are common to even people new to Linux. I guess your joke isn’t really that funny. I hope you enjoy learning some new technology today!

“Wake up call” 🤣

We’ll be dead before humanity wakes up

Almost spat out my food, thanks

Loved this show. Ended too early

I found it very hard to follow without having played the game. There’s a lot of jargon that I didn’t enjoy

Agree with everything expect for the viable alternative. Linux is viable for many people

Congrats. What about everyone else? There are clearly enough people here that this is confusing for it be taken seriously. Especially since this is how cyclists get killed.

Ps. Fuck cars
