Imagine social media as an upsidedown parabola (like an arc), where the x axis is time, and the y axis is quality.

The start of a new social media platform would be towards the bottom left. As they grow and add new features, their quality improves. Over time, however, they will ‘peak’ in quality. Then, they begin to introduce anti-consumer practices, such as API restrictions, ads, sponsored posts, etc. Their quality dwindles until either the platform shuts down or becomes a horrible echo chamber.

Using this analogy, Reddit right now would be in the latter half of the graph, as it has become an echo chamber filled with bots, ads, and API restrictions.

Lemmy currently is more like approaching the peak for the parabola. It’s great for now.

Sure Lemmy is open-source, self-hostable, but it’s potential downfall would be its userbase. It’s starting to have the same issues as Reddit: Don’t comply with every else’s opinions, get downvoted to oblivion. Of course, downvotes don’t mean much on here, but getting banned would.

In its own way, Lemmy is starting to become an echo chamber for tech/Linux enthusiasts, radicals, and those exiled from Reddit.

After I use it each time??

I looked at the guide you linked. So in my __init__.py file, I should import each public name I want from my files, then add them to the __all__ list like this? (I want to make sure I understood the guide correctly)

from file_1 import SomeClass
from file_2 import AnotherClass

__all__ = [
    "SomeClass",
    "AnotherClass",
]

Should be Higher (-2) because I have MicroG installed, and it misidentifies them as the proprietary GMS since they share the same app ID.

I’m targeting a Linux release

Your 3, I’m not sure to understand what you want to do.

I don’t want the active MPV file info in the terminal as if I CTRL+C, CTRL+D, or close the terminal, MPV will close too. So I want it to run as a background process (like how you can minimize VLC to the tray)

I don’t know if using something like nohup mpv <some file> & would work. I guess I could use pkill mpv to close it then.

I saw mpv has a --quiet option. What does that do?

I think the main problem lies in the community.

Not everyone, but a few vocal rotten apples are hostile to new users who either:

1. Don’t already know the answer to their own question

2. Are not using their distro

3. Didn’t immediately read the wiki entry for their exact problem

This kind of gatekeeping is why some people are put off of Linux and the community as a whole. Just because someone asks a question you think is obvious, doesn’t mean it’s obvious to them.

Metric. Imperial is a fucking mess. At least with Metric, most size measurements are 10 to the power of something.

I’ll take the guanteed $1000 and not the mystery box so the prediction is always wrong :)

I’m initializing variables that would be used later in the class in different functions. I wasn’t sure if I needed to do a var: <type> | None = None or if just setting it to None was fine.

Thanks! Good to know.

This is an example. For my actual use case, they would be private vars that would be set by class functions instead of passed to the constructor.

I try to follow the 3, 2, 1 backup procedure:

• 3 copies
• Spread across at least 2 devices (Computer, Server, other devices)
• At least 1 copy on a separate storage disk (USB flash drive)

Here’s mine:

That’s right, it’s empty. I clear mine when I’m done copying/pasting stuff. Mainly due to paranoia.

Still no shape tool /j

The only thing I miss is paint.net.

• Newer versions don’t run in WINE.
• Pinta, a fork of paint.net, is old and is missing many features of modern paint.net.
• Some alternatives, like Krita, are more for drawing, whereas I use paint.net for image editing.
• GIMP lacks a shape tool.

A large SUV I bought from a friend who was selling it years ago.

I wish I had something smaller thugh, like a Mini. Though, that probably won’t be long as my current car is very old and is already having issues.

Open Internet Explorer

windows crashes

After 30 years, Windows has come full circle.

Well, if you’re in the EU, a Linux phone might work as I think some of them support EU carriers.

If you’re in the US, however, I think you’re out of luck for the moment as I don’t think Linux phones support US carriers yet.

(Correct me if I’m wrong)
