MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Visual Studio Code alternatives for Linux?English5·2 years agoI can’t manage to make Kate look half descent on Mint (Cinnamon). It does look great on Plasma
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlOPto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Visual Studio Code alternatives for Linux?English5·2 years agoI am aware of this one, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think I’ll start using Kate, and contribute whatever features I’m missing if I can.
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your opinion of online moderators? Do you think of them as an ally or an adversary?English3·2 years agoExactly. I’m a mod in a few subreddits, the biggest of which is /r/Showerthoughts. People don’t notice our existence unless we interact with them directly, and you rarely interact with users unless to ban them or to remove their content. So it is expected to be hated.
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•West Bank ‘not occupied’ territory, says Ron DeSantis13·2 years agoHe is not denying that they are building settlemens. He just doesn’t consider it occupation. Anything for more donors, I suppose.
I’m neither American, European, Russian, nor Chinese, and have no clear vested interest in any if them. Seeing how Americans view China as the “big evil” from the outside is just mind-boggling. Most of the bad stuff you think China did, they didn’t. Some of the terrible stuff they did, the US did as well. They do have a bad side that the US doesn’t have, but the US does some things worse than China.
Now its easy for the naive to just reply “whataboutism” to my comment and move on. But what I’m trying to say is that the world isn’t black and white. The US isn’t the “good guys”, no one is. Take a look at some communities on Lemmygrad. You might change some of your views.
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What habits or practies have you adopted from cultures besides your own?6·2 years agoIt is common in the middle east, with some leeway. Like if someone is sitting diagonal to you such that your foot isn’t directly facing them, it’s okay. Unless its a professional meeting, then having your foot up is just disrespectful, but I imagine that goes for most countries.
Alright, so you don’t acknowledge the problem, still fits the definition.
I’d hate for our discussion to be about semantics, but I’m saying that we don’t believe in the problem. If I’d say “Hey, regarding the vampire situation, you have your head in the sand, because you won’t acknowledge the problem”, it wouldn’t be an accurate statement, or correct usage of the phrase.
Anon wasn’t talking about 100m^2, he was asking about scaling that to a “shitton of land”
unwilling to recognize or acknowledge a problem or situation
I’m not saying that we are unwilling to recognize a problem, the problem itself is greatly exaggerated, or even non-existent.
Yeah I agree. I’m mostly talking about what you’ll find on Twitter and big subreddits.
I’m almost the same as OP, but I wouldn’t call it “head in the sand”. For the past few years, the media has been exaggerating everything and creating mass hysteria. If you follow the news closely, you’ll think the world is about to end: Wars, economical depressions, climate changes, new pandemics, etc…
Stop following the news, and you won’t notice a thing. Probably the price increases, but other than that, your life is the same.
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlMto Linux@lemmy.ml•The year of Linux on the desktop is closer. Linux reaches 3% of desktops25·2 years agoCounting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.
When you reach the point of dehumanizing an entire population, you should stop and think about the amount of shit the media has filled your head with.
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest TacticEnglish2·2 years agoI mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it’s the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•Four apps and counting, how is everyone else doing?1·2 years agoThanks for sharing! My favoriate app so far.
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•Four apps and counting, how is everyone else doing?English41·2 years agoLemmur is dead. It got resurrected as Liftoff.
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•Four apps and counting, how is everyone else doing?161·2 years agoI’ve tried Jerboa, Connect, Thunder, Liftoff, Lemmotif, and the PWA. Jerboa has the best interface/ux imo, by far. Thunder is the least buggy to use, and the developer is a machine, doing constant updates. These 2 I think have the most potential.
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•i mean, i still go on reddit but honestly though, the whole fediverse concept is exciting!English3·2 years agoYou mean to tell me that apps made by community volunteers as a labor of love in a couple of weeks are better than the app made by a for-profit company and has been developed for years? Funny how that works.
MarcellusDrum@lemmy.mlto Memes@lemmy.ml•Bad post, good post, red post, blue post.English211·2 years agoEven if a post is a couple of days old, I feel like I can still comment and be part of the conversation here. On Reddit, if you miss the first few hours, your comment will probably be unseen, so why bother?
Hmm, interesting. Where are you from?
