Sorry, we thought this was Palestine!

Ya, maybe it’s not what they intended, but we’ve see it happen enough where source is just closed. Good on them for rectifying it, either way.

Companies are definitely selling your data. Use a VPN.

You make it sound like Israel hates everything about Palestine, when clearly they love their land.

Use rsync and only upload the files that have changed.

There’s a good chance that’s what our issue was. It really struggled with a Java monolith project. Compiling was slow, but Mercurial was painfully slow on NTFS while ext4 was blazing fast.

Been on Macs at work for a few years and don’t plan on going back, but wish I knew this back then!

I meant in Windows 🙂. I guess Windows XP, in particular.

Not me, I’m getting fatter.

Yes! Thanks, I had started to mention that and ended up with a huge run on sentence and it didn’t make it through the editing process. 😅.

BMI is the best measure we have for statistical purposes (i.e., a population) because it’s been around for 50(?) years and is what is often used in studies, so you can compare one study to another using BMI.

It’s also not terrible for a population because it averages out. But for an individual it is definitely not a good measure because there are way too many other variables that matter.

If you do want to get into it, I suggest starting with Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.

Well, I started watching Star Trek TOS so I would get more of the memes on [email protected] 😅.

I do like to browse by all instead of subscribed, which is a good way to discover more communities. Of course, I do have to block a lot of communities to avoid stuff I’m not interested in… which is basically just stuff in languages I don’t understand and furries (speaking of niche communities, plenty of those). But I even enjoy seeing local posts from places in another country.

Ya, I think the key is not to focus on niche communities, but more generic communities. e.g., someone mentioned a dead Morrowind community, but it’s probably better to invest in a more generic gaming or maybe even pcgaming community.

Lemmy just isn’t that big and can’t support many niche communities.

That being said, I definitely see some niche communities regularly popup in my feed, so there are some active ones!

It works now.

Oops, replied to wrong comment! I was talking about NTFS.

It is a meme.

Not sure if it’s gotten better in the last few years, but it’s also incredibly slow. Like orders of magnitude slower than ext3 or HFS.

So you’re saying the link is… dead?

Versus all the capitalist websites that refuse to call it a genocide.

It’s just plain old antisemitism. No need to dig any deeper than that.

Hey, I said no digging!
