Oh I was talking about laptops and printers and stuff. Don’t know much about servers

It’s my understanding their enterprise products are still good. It’s the consumer products which suck

What keyboard do you use? They are not all the same

Unfortunately you’re not out of the weeds yet. Lemmy has plenty of hive mind mentality

like anti-competitive laws? We have those. They tend to rely on certain people enforcing them though

.world and .ml like to beef over their politics (generally liberal vs more leftist/Marxist)

most of the “beef” actually happens in their own little threads with no cross interaction cause .world has hexbear and lemmygrad blocked

yeah ideological policing is insane

Sure, moderating and creating places like the fediverse are good and useful. But 99% of the time people spend on the fediverse isn’t doing that

I feel like this article misses the essence of the original. It’s a strawman. Yes, being on the fediverse is better than being on twitter/facebook whatever corpo media. But it is equally susceptible to just endless scrolling without any action

Many Twitter refugees made a good choice in migrating from Musk’s X to Bluesky, carving out a new online space that is inhospitable to bigoted debate bros and time-wasting trolls. But in their enemies’ absence, many of these Left-leaning posters have just reverted to dunking on each other, preferring the catharsis of sectarian conflict over the hard work of organizing.

Yeah I’ve tried bluesky, this is entirely accurate. 90% of US political content on bluesky is basically a combination of r/whitepeopletwitter and r/clevercomebacks. Same people too, that reddit loves

people seem to find the idea of organizing on lemmy absurd

Most businesses also use outlook or gmail

It’s a very different style. I couldn’t slog through it

Is this the first page people see? If so you should probably have a blurb before the background

No

Except everyone just uses gmail now

The web ui has this option now. Although you can’t collapse threads so it’s still pretty hard to navigate

If anything the success or the Twitter ui shows you don’t always need a good UX to succeed

Why are you comparing them as if they’re equivalent?? Wordpress is being used as a backend for tumblr

I keep hearing about how modal editing is faster and I would like to switch to a more performant editor.

Honestly I’ve yet to hear a good argument for this. It feels like such a major investment to switch to vi-like editors, I need a pretty good argument before considering it

Also a good argument for “why does it matter”? Speed of editing is rarely a bottleneck when editing code. If it is, you might want to consider why your code is so verbose and repetitive to make it so

I used to use Jetbrains when I was using C# (mostly stopped now), because it was better that VS and tooling elsewhere is mediocre, on purpose by ms. But beyond that I don’t see the point. I say that as someone who has it for free through a student license. They’re such heavy editors, only kinda cross language, extension ecosystem not as good as vscode.

Great default keybindings though, I’ve adopted a lot of them elsewhere too

Are the white ones actually better though?

How are you responding from masto without the @ ?

I’ve never seen that before
