Yeah VSCode is the GOAT. I reached a point where I basically only ever use any other IDE if I'm explicitly told to, or if I don't have a desktop environment to work with. Or if I have to work with Java, because sadly I found the Java support on VSCode to be rather lacking.

Honest question: If a federated community is conceptually acting as a single community, why should moderators be limited to the side corresponding to their instance? At that point, wouldn't there be a unified ruleset for the federated community that is separate from the rules of the hosting instances?

I get that not all instances would abide by the same rules, but I reckon that if you want to keep a federated community, you also need to make sure to comply with all instances or risk some instance from removing their community from the federation.

FWIW, someone on my Mastodon TL suspected the same thing and made a poll regarding the users age. About 850 people voted and 63% turned out to be 30-50 years old.

Here's the toot in question. In Spanish tho https://mastodon.social/@batmanyyo/110668830560740847

I came to the conclussion that this is unironically what you have to do when you need a job and you don't have 20 years of previous experience on it.

How does that even happen

I'm using Thunder. It's working well except maybe for the facts that upvoting takes forever and I keep getting 502 errors all the time, but I'm unsure whether that's Thunder's fault or it's just because my is instance is lemmy.world lol

Yeah I noticed that too.

It was also weird how quickly it ramped up. In early June mostly everyone agreed with the blackout, but once we got close to the blackout date, suddenly the mods "throwing a tantrum" and 3rd party app devs somehow having "vested interests" were talking points you would find in any thread? Even those unrelated to the blackout? The bot swarm definitely was site-wide and was all but subtle imo.

I love how all mainstream platforms keep mimicking each other to become exact copies of one another. I wonder if there was a way for platforms to collaborate with each other and interconnect somehow rather than duplicating efforts by copying all features from all other platforms? 🤔

Is it somehow related to anarchism? Otherwise, why was that pattern and color palette chosen?

Using Thunder rn, seems promising but it's still in alpha. It stutters when scrolling too far down.

My Arch installation does break sometimes. I literally had a year-long issue where it turned out my old network card was incompatible with the kernel and the consequence was that a kernel panic would randomly come up almost daily without any kind of warning or error trace. Package updates sometimes do make my system unbootable, too.

However! That's very much what I was expecting when I chose Arch. If I didn't have the tech expertise/patience to deal with those issues, I wouldn't have chosen it in the first place. What I like about Arch is that I feel like everything is under my control and no problem comes out of nowhere. Except, maybe, I kinda don't like having to interact with the NVIDIA driver bullshit.

I replaced the network card and the kernel panics were gone. Whenever a package breaks my system I just downgrade it. It doesn't work flawlessly, but unlike Windows or Ubuntu, it's not actively fighting against me. I overall don't regret it. It's been my daily driver for 2.5 years now.

I actually can't see Mastodon users on Lemmy properly? I mean, not that I intend to follow many Mastodon users from here, but just out of curiosity I tried to look them up via Lemmy and, while they do show up, they always show up without any toot. Idk whether I'm doing something wrong or it's just broken at the moment.
