It is not really an alternative. So many people here complaining about quality, and the constant desire for this not to become the new Reddit.
But that's exactly what it needs to become. A place where mindless users can post the same silly crap every day, without getting shit for it. And without being rattled by entitled mods that feel they should be compensated for doing what they want to do.
Let communities talk and mods just be mods, not critics.
Probably language barrier. That figure of speech is not the easiest for Germans to grasp.
The first thing coming to mind is “we tried to add a checkbox, but failed, it just wouldn't work”
To my German mind, failing means “trying and not managing it, giving up in the end.”
Failing to so somehing by forgetting doesn't really make sense. :) How can you fail something you've never attempted.
It's just a figure of speech, I know.
Have you read the article? It was about misrepresenting historical figures, racism was just a small part.
It was about favoring diversity, even if it's historically inaccurate or even impossible. Something Disney is very good at.
It's okay when Disney does it. What a world. Poor AI, how are they supposed to learn if all its data is created by mentally ill and crazy people. ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶
The opposite. Not found negatives. Anti-virus software can only tell you that it didn't find a virus, not that there aren't any.
Would a non-linux user visit any such sub-community though? Perhaps Linux news and discussions would be better off in a sub-community? Actual users are more sensible to such distinctions. Many potential new users have a hard time choosing a distro already. Adding yet another choice might be detrimental to the cause.
Every single story saturates the perception-pool a bit more. The more normal it appears, the more people will realize that windows isn't all-present anymore, and that it's not a weird thing to do to try Linux.
To me, that would be more like "I stopped eating junk" posts. The world needs more of those.
That is how I see it, at least.
I back up my homedir and data with regular tools. I am trying to come up with a reason why my whole system might need one. 95% of that is basically the standard stuff.
I guess I believe that backups and file systems should be separate things.
Possibly because many users coming to Lemmy are pissed off by something. It's not a platform for fun users, but for grumpy old cats wanting their unachievable utopian discussion forum, where all behave the same as they do. ;)
Criticise lemmy and prepare for downvotes deluxe.
