it’s “Akku”(s) or “Akkus”(p) in german :-)

thanks for making me aware of this initiative, just signed it!

Looks like there is a little bit of space for a new “northernmost” murder left; southernmost is already a done deal.

i can remember back in the late 90/early 2000, that the right wingers pushed hard into the goth and metal scene here, looking for new recruits. it definitely felt like a targeted approach, and they did the same with the techno scene before (where they were mostly thrown out). they had more success in the folk scene, but they slowly gained ground over the last years. this sucks :-(

Some posts look a bit off, like being not verbose enough for the topic or question; a few have logical mistakes in them, but most of the GPT3 posts are not so far off from a typical reddit thread - i don’t think that this stuff is filterable in any way. Lets implement it lol

Mediabiasfactcheck.com puts them into the “Left Bias”-Category

I would rather recommend using KeepassXC, and storing and syncing the database with your other devices using Syncthing. Supereasy to set up, and works flawlessly with my pc and my phone.

KeepassXC has nice features like global autotype btw, so for webpages i can insert my payment information with one hotkey. no need to save your CC in your browser.

Lemmy Frontend called Photon:

I wanted to swap to Pop!OS a few months ago, but since i’m an Nvidia user, I am waiting until Wayland plays nice with Nvidias drivers regarding explicit sync and everything gets rolled into Pop!OS.

I always was a Windows user because games, but with ProtonGE the “games” argument started falling flat, and MS is getting more and more intrusive. I do like VRR and Multimonitor setups tho, so X seemed like a poor choice, and Wayland/Nvidia is just not ready yet.

For everyone in the same boat, just keep an eye on this link: Explicit GPU Synchronization for DRI3, Present, and Xwayland

yeah, they are blocking VPNs; cant get there using Mullvad currently. whatever, i’m using LibRedirect to use privacy friendly frontends for Youtube/Reddit/TikTok/Maps, so i can still read stuff there anyway

WinME was a straight downgrade from Win98SE. I had to support a lot of peoples PCs privately at the time, and WinME was an unstable mess in comparison; the amount of undiagnosable bluescreens that just didn’t occur on Win98 on the same hardware was infuriating; and the performance was worse in every instance.

I adore Nier, and i love Cyberpunk in general since playing Shadowrun back in the 90s. Wallpaper Engine Scene, found here, original art (NSFW because Android Butt) from NIXEU:

i’ll just drop this here: uBlacklist, a Google Search filter which implements exactly this feature for Firefox/Chrome/Safari

I never did, i replaced them often tho.

Binge Eating, Cigarettes, Drinking, smoking pot… dropped all that tho when i got hooked on a cocktail of Tramadol, Hydromorphon, Lorazepam and Fentanyl through my doctors because of chronic pain. started abusing that stuff and had a few close calls. I tried quitting cold turkey but wasn’t strong enough.

Forged a pact with my doctor, deposited my pain meds at his place and saw him 3 times per week for my next dose for over a year, but i couldn’t stop abusing my meds.

Finally last year with the help of my therapist and a program for addicts transited over to suboxone.

i’m still addicted, but it’s not self destructive anymore. When i’m feeling ready, i will slowly reduce my substitution over months, but even if i’m never ready for it, at least i do not damage my personal relations and my health anymore, i’ts just a pill in the morning to keep the cravings away.

The important part was putting my addiction on the table. Addiction thrives on feelings of shame, and i went through a lot just to hide my vice from my partner. Putting it into the open enabled me to get help - first in therapy, then with my doctor, and then with my partner.

Tl;dr: Get Therapy, start talking about your addiction to get rid of the shame, many addictions can be replaced with less damaging / health-neutral options if you’re not ready to leave your crutches behind yet.

My Win10 PC with just my default apps open, which is mainly Firefox, Steam, a few other Launchers, Obsidian and Messaging clients - 8GB definitly doesn’t cut it today anymore. Running a newer game smashes the 16GB border easily.

firefox will stay relevant, even if only because alphabet really really wants to avoid antitrust lawsuits.

It does not matter if others have it worse. It makes no difference if you are drowning in 2m or 10m of water, you are still drowning. don’t belittle your struggle! Talking about problems gives us the ability to think things through and catalyses change. i wish you the very best!

my last response, and then i give up, because you are narrowmindedly chasing down your warpath and are not open to other views. the only one who is forcing something here is you, take your feedback seriously, or you are no better than what you are fighting. other than that, best of luck in your endeavors.

You are missing the point. Lemmy does not NEED to grow, since there are no profit incentives.

Its hostile towards Reddit admins. I don’t care much, but they will.

Its hostile towards Lemmy admins, who already told you that your spamming techniques generate as much load as the largest instances. also, since your “content” gets federated to other instances, your legal liability might become theirs too.

Its hostile towards Lemmy users, who see lots of botspam which they cannot filter currently since the users you generate have to be blocked one by one.

Its hostile towards Reddit users, who get their created content and USERNAMES copied without given consent.

I also use “All”! I like seeing what others in the fediverse are up to, as long as it’s authentic discourse. I don’t care if it gets smaller currently. The quality is fine, and since most growth in fediverse projects come in spurs, i am not even slightly worried. I have also been attracted for more than a month, and since the discourse is authentic, i engage more than i ever did on reddit.

In my opinion, every bad move reddit makes will lead to another influx of users to the fediverse.

Yes, they were effective. Lemmy got a fresh infusion of users, and its not even how many, but WHO we got! We got especially the people who think for themselves and who are not apathetic towards bad moves; people who cared about their communities. This also explains why you get so much pushback. It does not sit well with them (and me) because it is in line with what Meta, Reddit or Google would do.

I don’t think a “war” against big tech is Lemmys primary use case. Lemmy is there to bring people together and is doing a fine job of that, for a project that was not really ready at the time of the protest. I haven’t seen people call for a war in the last months - raising awareness, yes; but ultimately the message should be a positive one - this is what makes Lemmy stand out from the “competition”.
