there are 10 kinds of people.

• those who understand binary
• those who don’t
• those who know ternary exists

Zeno’s Paradox, even though it’s pretty much resolved

Lol. It pretty much just decreases the time span you look at so that you never get to the point in time the arrow reaches the apple. Nothing there to be “solved” IMHO

Sure and there are pages helping you find communities, but there isn’t that one central instance that works as a frontend to all the decentralized content.

I really wish to get a solution that builds of a free protocol, not on a single centrally managed instance of something that gives disproportional power to the instance hoster.

I fucking love the idea of activity pub. Everything can talk to everything and offer different features for different requirements like forums, short messages or even video distribution.

Internet, as much as anyone acts like it’s not, is in its childs steps. We should really make sure in 100 years it’s a communication tool for the masses, not another advertising platform.

OSS and open protocols are so important for the future. Who cares if some people feel overwhelmed by adding an @instance to some handles?!

Sorry for my bad English btw. ;)

Give it time I would say. Nobody cares about not having a central mail index, because everyone is used to how email works.

Now with Lemmy we are changing the central approach of reddit to a decentralized one like email. It’s not a big problem if you ask me, it’s only that people don’t like change. Still, I think it’s crucial that we stay with the decentralized approach instead of creating the same problems we had with reddit/facebook/twitter and the likes.

We did it the wrong way nummerous times. This time, let’s be patient and please do it the right way for once.

And don’t forget that the big corporations are already trying to undermine the new approach. Look at meta and threads for example.

Read “the power of habit”, then use it to create healthy habits. Nobody can change his life in an instant. The book explains how to accomplish any habit in small steps.

It’s not about what to do specifically, its about moving in the right direction in a healthy way

It’s like email: it doesn’t matter if you have an @gmail.com or @microsoft.com address, you can send and receive mail to/from anybody. Lemmy accounts and communities consist of a name which includes the instance, just like e-mail.

That’s it, I don’t think a regular user needs to know more.

Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition

After using Firefox for 20 years, aside of maybe 3 times I never had any problems. So I can’t confirm the second point at all

Is it already time for the pitchforks? *hides pitchfork in anticipation*

Might be some dirt or moisture in the plug, that dried up/fell out in the meantime

I had some Jabra Elite some time. One bud got more quiet everytime I used it until it was nearly unhearable. Some forum suggested sticking a toothpick in one specific little hole that might be clogged up with dirt. Didn’t believe it, tried it anyway. Low and behold, they worked perfectly again afterwards. Small tech is weird sometimes
