Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear? by Azzu in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

True, but that isn't really very unique to the US

How do i ask for contributors to my open source projects? by Azzu in c/programming@programming.dev
[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 3 points 13 hours ago

I would immediately get rid of the warning for unstableness in both projects. They are simply unnecessarily self-deprecating and "stay away" markers. When would you remove them?... I don't know your projects, but it's incredibly unlikely that they are worse in those regards than basically any other software project. It's always the user's fault if they use some unestablished thing in production, you're not responsible for that and have to help them learn that.

Being experimental can be expressed through a 0.x.x versioning scheme. Having bugs is expressed by the issue tracker, and in any case not unique at all. Incomplete features is something anyone will see if they decide to try it.

The chat thing seems like one of a million chat things, why is this chat solution better than any other already existing one? Needs to be clearly expressed as the first thing. tool like this suffers from adaption usefulness, it's only useful if people use it, why would you use it if no one uses it.

The other thing looks very niche, so also not surprising that it's not used that much.

I don't know, I wouldn't worry about it that much. Kind of confused anyway why you'd "look for" contributers. Seems kinda like you want to simply get a following for ego reasons or something.

Exactly, in other words, you get people involved by making your tools good and advertising them to increase usage.

Write good documentation, make it user-friendly, create beautiful landing pages for the repository (i.e. readme), create a marketing/project website, be responsive in discussion forums, etc etc

To be serious, the sentiment behind Brexit is the exact kind of sentiment you see in US people/politics as well: right-wing propaganda, xenophobia, resistance against any kind of authority, nationalism.

UK is literally the parent of the US. Puritan culture flows through both. A national superiority complex (which you seem to be a slight victim to). Surveillance capitalism. Deregulation.

Yes, the issues in the UK aren't as severe as in the US, they are more aligned with EU/socialist values, but that's why I said it's the "light" version of the US, didn't say they are the same. But out of all European countries, the UK is definitely the most similar to the US by a large margin.

Edit: also, Brexit is basically the same as the thoughts of some Republican states like Texas seceding from the US.

For me, I came to terms with this by learning more about human nature and behavior and realizing that, in essence, we're incredibly flawed beings with only a minimum of accidental rationality. That it's absolutely not natural for us to "make sense" in a logical way, that truth doesn't matter to us, that we are all incredibly selfish.

And that working against this nature to a "better" (in quotation marks on purpose, who really knows what's better) state of mind and behavior requires massive amounts of dedication, conviction and constant effort, which most people simply don't understand or can't be bothered to do.

That humans/I have a natural desire within them/me to band together for survival purposes. This includes loyalty to family and feeling bad about being estranged to them.

That our emotions are just motivators making us do things that were/are useful for survival.

That we also have a great capacity for adaptation, which also helped us to survive.

And finally, to put it all together, that I can use my skills of adaptation to change my feelings about things after understanding them and deeming them not beneficial to me. So in other words, I use mindfulness techniques, my natural propensity for rationalizations, training/practice through repetition, my selfishness, etc, etc, to change my behavior/thoughts/feelings to a state I'd like to be in.

This is imo only possible with serious study of all these interactions and years of reprogramming yourself, which you have to decide how worth it is for you. In my opinion, it's ultimately worth it for everyone, because I went from a state of deep unhappiness to a state of deep happiness/content, which is a massive quality of life improvement.

However, I also realize that because of all of this, I myself could just be talking bullshit and be just as or even more flawed than anyone else, so you can probably safely disregard any advice I give or things I say :D

Edit: oh yeah, and to give a superficial answer: fuck family/people, stupid people are not worth having around and making your life worse just because of some arbitrary tradition/feeling of loyalty/peer pressure. My dad is nowhere as bad as yours and I still don't really care about interacting with him, and I like it that way.

The main reason US can and could ever delude itself into being great is for having a ridiculous people-to-land/resources ratio. There is nothing inherently great about how the US does things, it just seems that way because you can do whatever you want if you have essentially infinite resources compared to everyone else.

I'm subscribed, when the video came out something along those lines was the title. They likely changed it because it performed better with viewers.

Imo it's very unlikely that we grew to like music that already existed rather than growing to like audio patterns and then noticing we can make music.

What do you use to analyze journalctl? (lemm.ee)

Or any other log files/output? I'm open to any solution, but what I would like...

...is something where I can just click on a word or select some text and say "filter that out"

Something that colors different log levels differently, preferably automatically.

Something that can parse the "columns" and give me a nice quick list of values, like different unit names to filter out/solely include.

Something that lets me choose a time and go there. Something that lets me select only a specific timeframe of logs.

I know this can probably be done by going in/out of journalctl, recalling the last command and adding specific filter options... but it just feels slow. It's so many keypresses when I could just right click on the word and -> "Filter out/Search for" or something.

Neither DuckDuckGo nor Google are particularly good at it, since you can't do something like site:reddit.com. How do you guye search or is this just an unsolved problem?

And if so, why exactly? It says it's end-to-end encrypted. The metadata isn't. But what is metadata and is it bad that it's not? Are there any other problematic things?

I think I have a few answers for these questions, but I was wondering if anyone else has good answers/explanations/links to share where I can inform myself more.

Will you be xing xes instead of tweeting tweets?

What if someone sends you a video? To differentiate it from tweets/xes, would you call them XXX videos? You could maybe use https://xvideos.com as a CDN domain.

Annoyed by Lemmy links not going to your home instance? I just updated LULs, the script that changes all Lemmy links everywhere to your home instance! (greasyfork.org)
submitted 1 year ago by Azzu@lemm.ee to c/fediverse@lemmy.world

If you didn't already know about it, I included the full description after the release notes.

Release 1.3.0

  • You can now add multiple secondary instances: so if you, like me, also have an account on lemmynsfw.com (or of course any other instance), you can add that there and not have links rewritten for that instance
  • You can manually enter your home instance. Useful for self-hosted instances that didn't show up in my instance list.

Full Description Below:

Description

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance.

Also works on Firefox Android with the Tampermonkey extension!

Features

  • Rewrite links to Lemmy posts/comments to point to your home instance. Only after hovering over them, because getting home posts/comments links require communicating with the Lemmy servers, and we don't want to spam the servers.
    video demonstrating links to posts being rewritten

  • Instantly rewrite all links of community or user links to Lemmy/kbin on all websites everywhere to your new instance! The rewritten links will have an icon next to it, and hovering/touching the icon will show you the original link, allowing you to go there if you want to.
    community links being rewritten

  • If you are already on a page that has a corresponding page on your home instance, a link will automatically be added to the page header.

Home Instance Setup

Simply visit the Lemmy instance you want to set as your home while the script is active. You will be asked if you want to set this instance to your home instance:
popup to select home instance

Settings

If you want to change your home instance or add secondary instances in case you have multiple accounts, simply go to the script settings, accessible within Violent/Tampermonkey directly, or alternatively within any Lemmy instances' settings.

Common Issues

Coming soon

  • Rewrite kbin post/comment links
  • Better rewriting support for kbin community/user urls (e.g. sort options are currently ignored)
  • Nicer tooltip styling (fit into page theme)
  • Signify that "Show at home" button is loading for posts/comments
  • Integrate with lmmy.to redirector
