in part because the fediverse is “too hard.”
I think this is probably a good thing, it might keep dumb people away.
As an aside, it's starting to irritate me how often I see people complain the fediverse/threadiverse is too complex or too difficult to understand. I mean, you managed to understand that email accounts live on different servers, but you can't apply that same mental logic to forums living on different servers?
I work in IT too. I was with my first employer for 5 years.
The longest I think I stayed with an employer was 8 years and it was because I really enjoyed it - it was difficult consultancy work that took me all over the country and even to some other countries, but it felt like getting a whole new job every 6 months. I gave it up for stability and no travel after I got married. I was with another employer for 6 very boring/stable years after that and I've run my own business and worked for myself for the last 11 years.
I think we have different definitions of the word "easily" :D
I think the performance bottleneck isn't the web application, it's the PostgreSQL database of comments and posts that won't scale horizontally (easily).
Really thinking about investing in one of those ~£300 air conditioning units for home next year, as summers seem to keep getting worse, anyone tried those?
I bought one earlier this year. It's life-changing, would recommend.
As someone who still misses newsgroups, because Lemmy is Reddit done right - decentralised social media where we can control our own data and our own servers, and where corporate fuckers aren't trying to "monetise" us by showing us ads or manipulating our feeds and emotions.
If you use cemu and the WiiU version of BOTW, you can get closer to 50fps on the Steamdeck. It also has some handy mods, allowing you to have limitless arrows and unbreakable weapons.
Lemmy must be using the prefers-color-scheme media query as I didn't even know it had a light mode!
Just to be pedantic, it's fewer - not less. You use less for things that you can't count.
I'm not surprised. As a software dev of 30 years, it's amazing how productive we can be when we are both motivated and not hamstrung by shit middle management and crap project planning!
