Metz ,

works flawless here on Android 14 with Firefox 126.0.1. not tested desktop yet.

Metz ,

(allegedly) the devs of lemmy are on lemmy.ml

dessalines and Nutomic are the lemmy main developers and founders and admins of lemmy.ml.

There is no "allegedly" about it, it is so.

Metz , (edited )

the court accused him of an “ideology of maximum privacy.”

In what twisted fucked up crazy world is that a bad thing?

I hate this timeline..

Metz ,

Did not get a e-mail but my fork is gone. That can't be legal can it? I'm in the EU.

Metz ,

Yeah i tend to forget that github is in the US and their allmighty DMCA can be used to take down anything. i just have a hard time believing this shit would fly in the EU.

Metz ,

I am not agnostic. there is no god. there is no proof so there is no god. yes, it is really that simple.

Metz ,

aren't depressions fun?

Metz ,

wow, this Aurynn is an arrogant insufferable prick.

Metz ,

The "Even when Sascha tried to defend himself, he was ridiculed and mocked." links to this mastodon thread: https://noc.social/@sash/112012866246940556

Metz ,

Okay, i did not know. That makes things indeed a bit better.

Metz ,

i would love to see the answer from reddit because that sounds extremely illegal. keeping the data alone is already a violation.

Metz ,

A good chunk of them are autistic, or ADHD dominated interest groups, like FOSS, or various hobbies. It also includes the LGBT+ crowd.

I call bullshit on that. There may be a slightly more than average representation (maybe not even that) but i have not seen even a single robust proof that indicates it is a "good chunk".

This whole FOSS and LGBT+ or autistic or whatever is a meme, nothing more.

Metz ,

I have not seen a single piece of reliable evidence to show that this is true. There may be a louder minority in that specific area, but so far nothing indicates it is an actual overrepresentation.

Metz ,

Yes, multiple. I'm also in multiple FOSS user and developer groups.

But there is no need to believe me. You can ask Github. https://opensourcesurvey.org/2017/

Along other dimensions, representation is stronger: 1% of respondents identify as transgender (including 9% of women in open source), and 7% identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, or another minority sexual orientation.

The proportion of the general population is 0.5 to 0.7%.
So yes, it is very slightly higher, but not in the way that all the memes have been trying to portray it lately.

Metz ,

I am aware. But that makes 2 out of how many?

Look, i'm not trying to attack a group here. I'm just having the habit of calling out bullshit when i see it.
That there is a larger proportion of trans people in FOSS is a myth. It's based on memes that have gotten out of control.

In FOSS specifically, the opposite has been true for a long time and there has been a severe lack of diversity. That has thankfully improved a lot and the environment has now become much more colorful and has adapted to the reality of the general population. But that's all there is to it. There is no significant overrepresentation, at least I haven't found anything that would prove that.

Metz ,

Why do you compare it to the rest of the internet and not to the rest of the tech sector or more specifically closed source development?

following your logic i could just pick a random group of people and say e.g. "look, there are more trans people in FOSS than in Deep-sea fishing crews". Makes no sense. You have to compare it to something that is actually comparable.

Metz ,

it has that creepy uncle look going

Metz ,

No, NFTs do have good uses

I hear that now since 12 Years. Its not going to happen.

Metz ,

This reads like the birth of an original lemmy copypasta

Metz ,

17 year old Dell here. Threw a SSD and Linux on it and that damn thing boots faster than most brand new Desktops. Absolutely enough to surf the web, listen to music, watch videos or do the usual Linux stuff (ssh, etc.). You can even somewhat game on it via sunshine/moonlight.

Metz ,

I play Minecraft without any problem on:

  1. Local LAN Game
  2. Local Private Server (Forge mostly).
  3. Online Private Server. either my own or from others.
  4. Official Internet Server

No idea what problems you seem to have but Minecraft works 100% perfect on Linux.

Metz ,

Oh yes, I had actually forgotten that this things exists. You could be right.
But quick search says there is a way to use Bedrock on linux and connect to all kind of servers / realms as well. even together with java users. but tbh, i have not looked deeper into it.

Metz ,

Good. We are not doing enough yet. We should blow as much pollution into the air as quickly as possible. And spray as many chemicals on the earth and dump plastic into the oceans as we can.

The sooner we make this planet uninhabitable for human life, the sooner it can begin to regenerate for a future species that will do better.

Humanity, the disease, the parasite, must be completely eradicated.
