The copy, pasting, cutting, and moving features have improved significantly but I will admit it’s still not perfect.

I personally use Xournal++. It’s a really nice app and is FOSS.

Nope, but I’m leaning toward the side of caution. If the super-conductor is real it will be shown as such within a few weeks and will be revolutionary, and if not I’ll be less disappointed if I’ve steeled myself to the possibility.

It’s a shame that it so far seems that this superconductor experiment was a bust, but even still, I’m happy to see the scientific process at work.

Do you only drift away when gaming, or does it happen for every medium?

GrapheneOS sounds cool, I’ll take a look into it. Generally, I prefer the customizability and openness of FOSS and OSS solutions, but I’ll use proprietary solutions out of necessity or if they bring me significantly more convenience.

Indeed. It’s also nice how transparent the algorithms here are, we have access to the source code and documentation so we all know exactly how they work.

That’s true but did anyone think Meta cared about mental well-being? They’re a company, their only goal is to make money.

I think so. My Lemmy instance for example is currently storing several gigabytes of images in my cloud buckets, but with my 4 users I’m reasonably confident it didn’t all come from us.

Another thing I don’t see people talking about much is canned food. Almost all canned food is precooked or otherwise sterilized, and it takes years to expire when the can is left sealed. While cold ravioli isn’t the most satisfying meal, it will fill your stomach without making you sick.

I’m not speaking from personal experience, but according to some family members in the U.S. military they still suck here, at least in terms of flavor.

I don’t think I’m alone in this, but what I’m really wondering is if this is a result of getting older? Or is it because the gaming space itself has changed?

Both. When you’re older you don’t have as much time to play video games so you want that time to be more meaningful and for the games you play to be more concise. In addition, a lot of games have added “hundreds” of hours of content by large and relatively empty open worlds that are full of worthless autogenerated side quests and collectible trinkets, which is undoubtedly a worse gameplay experience.

As an online moderator I’m biased, but I’d say usually allies with occasional hard adversaries. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like power, but ultimately even knowing that it’s your responsibility as a moderator to enforce the community will, keep out the riff-raf, and ban toxic elements. I think most mods understand this, but there are a notable handful that turn toxic and turn the communities into a personal playground, and those types of people need to be kept as far away from any sort of power as possible.

It really is. Once you get all the services running and configured correctly, they just chug along happily without being touched.

Docker’s honestly really easy to use, is there anything specifically challenging you about it? I’d be happy to explain how any of it works or how to use its features.

I’m currently hosting a Lemmy instance, I started work on it Friday and finished getting it fully running today. It honestly depends on whether or not you want it to be public, as that will determine the amount of resources you put into it. For a personal instance, I think there are relatively few downsides, Lemmy is fairly light in terms of consumption and as long as you have dynamic DNS service you can fairly easily get it running on a home server. For a public instance, especially one hosted on the cloud like mine, it’s considerably more labor and a bit more expensive, but still worth it my opinion. So either way go for it, just be aware of your goals going into it.
