  I suppose my point is if we put any cause of rising prices under the “inflation” umbrella, it gives people the wrong idea as to the cause. Rather then just specifying what is causing prices to rise, people just say “it’s inflation.”

  That is an extremely simplified take of what inflation is.

  Here’s a fun example as to why just saying “inflation means prices go up” doesn’t make sense, what happens when a group of companies conspire to raise prices simultaneously? Is that inflation or is that price fixing? propublica.org/…/yieldstar-rent-increase-realpage…

  Except that’s not what happened, companies used the slowdowns in shipping from Covid shutdowns as an excuse to raise prices, then never lowered them. This isn’t inflation, this was intentionally planned, don’t belive me? Listen to their fucking earnings calls specifically saying it out loud.

  Just go on fdroid or something, I don’t understand why android app devs just give up with the play store. I get the reach is minimized but let’s be real, the reach for this kind of app is already limited.

  We are still allowed to sideload apps on Android, and the more projects on Fdroid or other alternative repos the better.

  I agree there isn’t an easy answer, I just don’t think giving them power over the words is actually helping anyone, because it does turn into the SJW situation like you pointed out.

  Humungus Wut intensifies

  It devolved into people MAKING problems were there wasn’t actually one by assuming negative intent.

  Counter point, how would they possibly know unless you were federally investigated in some way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I am talking more generally, not just you in this instance.

  We shouldn’t keep seeding ground to fascists over which words are “theirs” a simple and inconsequential example is Pepe the frog, there is nothing inherently racist about it and there are hordes of wholesome pepe memes, but someone decided that because it also gets coopted by fascists and racists that now pepe is actually a symbol for racism.

  This is idiotic that we are HANDING bad actors the right to own words and ideas by self policing.

  I did this in my younger years and the cars I got always had some hidden fucked up problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least Quark had some integrity.⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  How about we just stop letting bigots have every fucking word and don’t assume negative qualities about people from an insignificant distinction, cultures are different and just assuming someone is a bigot because they used the word female in a proper context is absolutely idiotic and counter productive to actually fighting real bigotry

  True, I love not having to open ports anymore, game changing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How best to store a media library in proxmox?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I went with ZFS but had some issue where it would randomly disconnect completely and lock up the whole server until I rebooted. Probably something with the nvme I was using but I went back to ext4 and that resolved it.

  Anyway my media drives are an lvmthin pool and just mounted to my LXC running jellyfin and such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I really need a firewall for my server?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That doesn’t count as a firewall though no? I use traefik as my reverse proxy (and like one thing on nginx that also goes through traefik ultimately) but I still put crowdsec on top

  What would likely help a lot if it was easier to get set up, particularly on a VPS or something like that. Small businesses and or larger community projects would be more likely to jump on possibly.

  Another thing is ability to easily join, a lot of the above just have an easy link to join their discord server, not sure how easy matrix on boarding is currently as I still haven’t gotten my instance functional yet (not even half done with synapse configuration seemingly)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use my previous desktop and a rando openbox thinclient I picked up at Bestbuy for like $250 in a proxmox cluster. The desktop does the heavy lifting on stuff like jellyfin transcoding, immich ML, or just general fucking about with things that require a more powerful GPU (got a 3080ti in there)

  The thinclient handles all the lighter stuff that needs to be constantly available, like my traefik instance, dns/dhcp server, etc

  It sucks that niche things like that haven’t picked up yet, however be the change you want to see, create a community and invite like minded people to post there.

  I think the biggest barrier of entry is that people don’t understand it, and they’re not going to until they try in all honesty.

  There’s absolutely diversity of opinion, I see trans and Tankie arguments pretty frequently.

  What is generally true is the majority of Lemmy users seem to lean left and are generally more techy, makes sense given the main reasons why you’d seek out the fediverse vs a centralized social media.
