Oh yeah, monthly active users is definitely the better metric, I just wanted to point out that in this case, it falls in the same place either way.
I wonder what the best metric would be for measuring how distributed Lemmy is. Maybe the ratio between total active monthly users vs the top 5 or 10 instances?
- Comment on [sh.it.post] We're #5! We're #5! 1 week ago:
sh.itjust.works is at #4 by total posts as well, since hexbear was counted twice in the OP.
It’s both amusing and unsurprising that lemmynsfw is second though

I have that microwave, my only complaint is that it’s a little small. The knob is much nicer than buttons

What about Missouri? The only thing I know about Missouri is that in Fairly Odd Parents, Tom Sawyer says “I ain’t going back, it’s Missouri in there.”

NMDA agonist
As a fan of NMDA antagonists, that sounds awful.
I kinda wanna try some
- Comment on It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking 2 months ago:
If we start now, we can probably switch the pronunciations of Aristotle and chipotle within a generation.
Chip-ot-el

You can use any port for ssh. When I switched from 22 to 1337, brute force attempts at logging in stopped
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 2 months ago:
On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it’s a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).
I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
The people marketing it have absolutely no understanding of what they’re selling.
Has it ever been any different? Like, I’m not in tech, I build signs for a living, and the people selling our signs have no idea what they’re selling.
- Comment on X Payments delayed after Musk’s X weirdly withdrew application for NY license 2 months ago:
How involved was he in the making of any company he’s ‘involvwd’ in?
As a general rule, not very. Musk doesn’t create shit, he buys shit then profits off of other people’s work
- Comment on YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns" 3 months ago:
I’ve played Golf and Goblins, it’s a typical idle skinner box; these companies hire the same people casinos do, to design their games to be addictive. It is a gambling addiction, same as if it were actual slot machines

- Comment on If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater? 3 months ago:
In freeze desalination, the initial ice crystals before it freezes solid are pure water; you mostly freeze a volume of saltwater into slush, strain out the ice, and discard the liquid (which will be bribe; higher in salt than your initial water).
Probably not super efficient, and probably needs multiple steps, but I dunno. Somewhere where the ambient temperature is below freezing, but geothermal is available, it could work at scale, but if you have to refrigerate, you’re probably better off with regular distillation

And that’s just science; think of all the actual conspiracies that actually happened. MKULTRA is perfect conspiracy theorist material and actually real, but that second part means it’s boring
- Comment on Ukraine graphics is crazy 3 months ago:
Same thing as athlete’s foot, just, well, crotch instead of feet. It’s fungal, and usually spread by communal showers.

Duh. Mining crypto.
- Comment on 10001 3 months ago:
That’s a matter of convention, not technical definition. A byte can be any number of bits, depending on hardware. For a while 6 bit bytes were common. RFC 791 refers to an 8 bit byte as an octet
- Comment on Nobel Prize 2024 3 months ago:
I’m still waiting for the full-planet weather model. That will be something.
That’s going to be a hard one, given that past weather patterns are increasingly not predictive of future weather patterns, because something keeps dumping CO2 into the atmosphere and raising the global temperature

There’s no such thing as ‘a Bigfoot’.
Bigfoot is a proper noun, if you saw him, you didn’t see a bigfoot, you saw the Bigfoot. But more likely it was some lesser Sasquatch.
