I use Firefox on my Android to access Bluesky. It’s much better than their official app, because Bluesky notifications are hell on earth.

Threatening us with good times? I think I’ll stick to Mutt.

Well, that’s good. The less features the site has the better. Here’s to hoping they’ll fade to obscurity!

“the job market is so fucked up so but I’ve done a lot of open source work, here’s my Github”

The rubber keyboard was pretty weird first, felt a lot like cheap pocket calculator, but once you got used to the BASIC shortcuts, you could program like a champ on it.

!environment@beehaw.org used to be cool, but it’s heating up!

I think what we mainly lack is people asking questions, not a particular set up of tech.

Why?

Those were not unmoderated. Just radically differently moderated.

Lemmy instance with “radical” moderation. Sort of like old SA/goon forums, 4chan etc.

I was about to type this exact thing. We have some homeless of course, people always fall through the cracks - but for the most part, the local government provides for basic needs, shelter, food, money and (in due time) housing. Winter is harsh, you don’t really survive living “in the nature” in rural areas.

Summer months often see homeless in the form of “Roma traveling beggars” or the “Irish asphalt/garden workers” who live out of caravans, tents or just back of their cars, but they migrate to southern Europe when winter comes.

But yeah, we pay a fuckton of taxes to have a social security network that catches people who are down on their luck. It’s not perfect, but it’s something. People don’t have to live without food or roof over their heads.

There’s a good write-up from the Beehaw admins here: https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/

I mean… why would people downvote you for that?
I have a todo.txt which I update. If I need to “be mobile” I just stuff some notes into Signal note to myself.
During meetings, I still take notes with paper and pen, because that’s much faster than digital notes.

Yeah, as a beehaw user, I’m pretty familiar with the situation. I’m not going to re-hash the whole thing here (and I don’t represent the instance), but let’s just say PR’s for features were offered, but not accepted. Discussion was attempted but it resulted in Lemmy devs asking beehaw to fuck off - so that’s the end of that.

There’s an alternative being tested. I believe we’re going to Sublinks, but there’s still active development going and sizeable migration. So we’re still here. For the time being.

Yeah, exactly the beehaw vs. lemmy situation.

Thanks for the context.

And yeah - a lot of fedi is built on spur of the moment inspiration without much planning on the long term. Sometimes it works out (like pixelfeed and the other related projects) and sometimes the passion of one (or small group) of devs just isn’t enough.

Lemmy is pretty good example (from the other side of the scale) as well - we’re at version 0.18.4 - and the devs are pretty hostile.

Congrats and/or condolences for this “moment”.

I guess I’d have to check mastodon to find the rest of this thread and the context of what it actually references. Posting into Lemmy/Kbin groups from long mastodon threads is quite janky experience, I find.
