U de Recife

Here’s another 20+ years Linux user. I too feel I still not know what I’m doing. My computers have been up and running thanks to the blessings of the godly devs!

I’m late to this party, but I’m now curious. What happened to elastic and mongodb?

And what are the underlying economic conditions promoting that change?

Thanks regardless.

Same here. It simply comes from within. Everything now is so special because I’m aware how fleeting everything is.

Thanks for your comment. It resonated a lot with my experience.

Yes, I’m a bit of a moron, but I still want to be fair. In every single community I read the same comment on and on again. It goes something like this:

People in name_of_community are x.

With its obvious variation

name_of_community is y.

That always sounds to me both strange and nonsensical. Every large set of beings is, obviously, large. We’re always sampling it from a very biased perspective. You may be unlucky in your interactions; or perhaps you’re more tactful; or you’ve connected in a very bad day; etc., etc., etc… So saying that name_of_community is y is just a Quixotian attack on a windmill.

If that gets you high, elated, if it makes you feel better about yourself because you’re not like them, please go ahead and keep enjoying yourself. But also remember you’re riding an beaten old horse, wearing a rusty armor, and talking nonsense.

It’s more like Twitter. Mastodon is a microblogging platform (people complaining about the smallest slight).

What a beautiful asshole. It pooped light!

You have a lot of good suggestions here already. My contribution will be like an upvote, sharing my impressions of the apps I’ve tried so far.

Both vger.app and thunder are very cool, easy to navigate, simple.

With Liftoff you have more control over the UI. It looks good and it’s very fluid.

All are very usable. All contribute to the lemmy experience, making it more fun to use and interact.

Good luck on your lemmy journey.

It’s wonderful to have this community on my feed. It might seem paradoxical, but seeing these posts about space keeps me grounded.

I genuinely smiled of joy reading this. My day is brighter now. Thank you for posting.

Beef. What a ride.

Vrai, changer est difficile. Mais l’habitude est trop fort. Et Reddit est comme une drogue.

Calvin’s mom is using a typewriter. How quaint.

And the sea is just a big lake. The sea floor a long valley. Fish are valley people. Land animals are mountain folk.

True. Not everyone agrees. Since I’m just me, I can only speak for myself.

With this in mind, I would like to hear reasons why you or others don’t agree. I ask in good faith.

Having an opinion is as natural as being human. I see the world through my eyes, think about in my brain, color it by my life experiences. So there’s always the possibility that I might be missing something important. Perhaps you were persuaded by some strong and much valid point or points.

If that’s the case, and if you’re willing, can you please share why you disagree?

Thank you!

I’ve been using liftoff together with wefwef, alternating them for one reason only: the font size of the comments.

My eyesight is not the best. That makes reading smaller text hard. Still, I used liftoff for how practical it is. If tired, I would open Wefwef.

But with this update you made me smile with joy! Wow, now I can easily read the comments. You’re the best. Thanks a ton.

Well, true. I may have gotten here though Reddit. But now I’m taken aback by what’s happening here.

I mean, the whole thing is open, FOSS developed, decentralized, being everywhere and at the same time nowhere? Call me crazy, but this in itself is awesome!

On top of that, I was greeted here by a community of communities where people are kind, helpful, full of beautiful and interesting insights.

So why would I be thinking of going somewhere else? I’ve posted more comments here in the past weeks than in the last ten years on Reddit. And I’ve done that because I’m genuinely excited with this setting.

So no, I’m not joining the herd moving to greener pastures. This field is green enough for me.
