Hey man I get it. But at this point I don’t think there is any reason to think blahaj as an instance is bigoted in any way, and there is every reason to think they are quite the opposite.

I hope you feel better soon. Best we end this chat to reduce teams and increase healing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨new instance, same me🫶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I understand. And I can see the ableism examples that you put forward.

Do you have any example of the Nazi takeover of blahaj? Or that they are bigoted towards bi men or non binary people? Like I want to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but I just see the opposite of what you are claiming.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨new instance, same me🫶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I do hang out with them a lot. A lot of my favorite communities are there. I see no Nazi tolerance at all there let alone “taking over” I also see none of this bigotry that you say is there. Contrarily, I see an active anti bigotry set of rules policies and guidelines in general.

I am willing to change my views on the instance but what you claim, I am just not seeing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨new instance, same me🫶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That sounds not so nice. Is there an example out there or the like?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨new instance, same me🫶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
No, but I’ve seen my fair share of concern trolling.

I am neither a bi man nor nonbinary and care, but I value my time.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨new instance, same me🫶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’m sorry. I’m not on blahaj.

Bigotry towards bi men and non-binary folk seems very much not like them.

Are you a big man or non-binary person? If so I would be interested hearing what sort of discrimination you faced at blahaj. I recommend them quite a bit but would rather not if they are hateful in that way.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨new instance, same me🫶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yup! They work really hard to create a strong queer space. That means they work hard to exclude bigotry and the like, even in its micro aggression form.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨new instance, same me🫶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yahhhhh. It’s a rough situation to be a non tankie on a tankie instance.

The issue is that the great majority of users there have very “out there” opinions and more and more of them are trying to be more subtle about it.
```
Avg .ml user: Long winded post about why war is bad

Avg responder: I agree war should be avoided for the harm it causes.

Avg .ml user: Therefore we all must support Russia against the imperialist Ukrainians!

Avg responder: Russia started the war. Why should we support them?

Avg .ml user: Because NATO forced Russia to invade. In reality it was NATOs fault!

Avg responder: I wasted my time here. No point in arguing.
```
The average non .ml user has been through this or seen this enough to be cautious of seemingly reasonable balanced arguments from .ml users.

I totally get staying, but personally if I woke up and my account was on .ml I would move.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨new instance, same me🫶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Different policies and rules mostly. Lemmy.ml has a ton of weirdly pro Russia and China admins on it. Very tankie Stalinist. blahaj.zone Is really nicely queer friendly. dbzer0.com has a cool anarchist hacker culture etc.

For me the problem I have with lemmy.ml is that that if you disagree with Russia’s invasion on one news community you’ll find yourself banned from the Linux community.

I think you’re mixing things up here. Mac’s are actually VERY performant, both objectively and relative to the on board ram.

There are many critiques that can be made of macOS. But saying it runs inefficiently is not one of them.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Maybe in 2019. In 2026 8Gb of ram alone costs $150

Look at the Jellyfin one. Why is there something breaking the logo from the right? Lots of little things.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My self hosted badges of honor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Fair. It’s not just that one though. I notice a lot of weird things there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My self hosted badges of honor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Why post this ai generated content? Since when does the docker logo have the Cassandra eye in it?

Do - do you like the 5000k bulbs? Do people consider cool white lighting modern?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX is seeking FCC approval to launch 1M satellites into space; SpaceX claims the fleet will orbit the Earth and use the sun to power AI data centers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I mean yah? That’s obviously true. That’s why I said it was close to actual anti semitism. Not bona fide antisemitism.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX is seeking FCC approval to launch 1M satellites into space; SpaceX claims the fleet will orbit the Earth and use the sun to power AI data centers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
This is weirdly close to actual anti semitism. Israel is a genocidal state, reasonable people can agree, but there being a secret plan to control the world reaks of something more dog whistle-ish.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Small clarification. Apple Pay is not really paying with your phone bill. I think you can but most users just have their credit card or debit card linked.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosted Jira alternative⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
For property software you would be right. Yah.

But it’s open source AGPL stuff. Full time devs improving AGPL code is good even with pointy haired managers.

This all being said I don’t think even the managers aim to become more evil and more terrible as their goal.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosted Jira alternative⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I agree that taiga shouldn’t feature Haliburton.

This all bearing said do you really think the people working on Taiga seek to be more evil and more terrible?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosted Jira alternative⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I mean, technically they could have hyper agile teams that use taiga there?

When they say agile they don’t mean that the company is flexible and adjusts to new situations quickly.

They mean that those companies are some of the most proficient in Agile software development methodology.

To be fair I see how people can get them confused. But in the context of work tracking they clearly mean the latter.

We draw the line before both. Easy as.

No piercings before the child can understand the concept of piercings and agree to it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Microslop" trends in backlash to Microsoft's AI obsession⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
What are you talking about? Linux has virtually no backwards compatibility at all. Maybe one or two years max. The kernel is fine. The weak point is glibc.

You literally need to recompile applications constantly to stay compatible with glibc. Otherwise they just don’t work.

The good news is that distros are constantly providing freshly complied versions of open source applications.

The bad news is that actual binary backwards compatibility is non existent. Try running a binary compiled in 2005 on modern Linux. You’ll just get a ton of glibc errors.

Windows lets you run applications compiled in 1995 on modern desktops.

Linux is great and it’s what I use. But we can’t claim backwards compatibility as a strength. Maybe a binary compiled today with musl might run in 2036 but musl targeting is quite rare.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacker Congress CCC talk by Cory Doctorow: 'A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
It’s a major hacker community centric event. The biggest in Europe. It could be that the community just likes it. 🤷‍♀️
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Same. I have been using Kagi since before they added AI features. I didn’t use them then and I don’t use them now. The price is the same.

By far the best search engine in my book. They even have a fediverse search mode.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PRUSA releases the OpenPrintTag, open source standard for filament spool identification and data tracking⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Prusa printers are MUCH better than Ender 3s just FYI. Not even in the same class. If you end up getting a modern prusa you’ll get something like the Bamboo but more community driven and with real technical support.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zorin OS Breaks Download Record as Windows 10 Users Seek Alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Is there some Zorin PR push on the fediverse? Feels like it sort of popped up out of nowhere.

I’d recommend giving Niri a shot. It works quite well for me.
