I wouldn’t say that. It varies from subreddit to subreddit, community to community, instance to instance. And sometimes they are just staying within goals for the given space, regardless of whether it is Reddit or Lemmy. Your personal experience will often vary with how aligned you are with the viewpoints of mods, if they engage in heavy viewpoint discrimination.

Yup. I made a comment on !worldnews@lemmy.ml that criticized the recent rigged Venezuelan election, complete with citations. Banned for “misinformation”. Sure, you can just go elsewhere, but “better mods” is subjective.

Deadname companies, not people.

Yeah, you tell them Margot! As only a strong Barbie could.

The RAM goes up to 64GB (2x32GB) for both Framework 13 and 16.

I haven’t, but I have heard of it. I think parts of Lapce are based on some Zed algorithms.

Not if they’re going to disturb the relaxing cat.

Semantic versioning.

Most of the time. I use calendar versioning (calver) for my internal application releases because I work in IT. When the release happens is more consequential than breaking changes. And because it’s IT, changes that break something somewhere are incredibly frequent, so we would constantly be releasing “major” versions that aren’t really major versions at all.

OpenDocument.

Agreed compared to .doc and .docx. And if you’re going to version control it, markdown instead of a binary blob.

For academic documents in STEM fields, I’d love to see a transition from LaTeX to Typst. Much cleaner, better error handling, and it has a web UI if people don’t want to install a massive runtime on their own computer.

Recipes in concrete metric units, preferably mass instead of volume. Recipes come together incredibly quickly when measuring out ingredients can just be dump-tare-dump-tare-dump instead of trying to get sticky ingredients like tahini out of a measuring cup.

More torx screws. There are apparently some uses for phillips, but torx are criminally underused.

Does COSMIC’s design suck or is it in pre-alpha?

Lapce, an IDE written in Rust. It’s nice and light compared to most IDE’s, so I use it a bit on my aging laptop from 2015. However, it doesn’t have the extension ecosystem or polish of my favored IDE, VS Code.

Just take the dive into fish. It used to have a lot of problems with incompatibilities, but that’s been less of a problem lately.

I haven’t found nushell to be that great as a day-to-day shell simply because it integrates poorly with other Linux commands. But when it comes to data manipulation, it is simply amazing. I’m currently (slowly) working on a plugin to query LDAP. The ldapsearch command uses the LDIF format, which is hard to parse reliably. Producing nushell data structures that don’t need fragile parsing would be a boon.

Yup, a late friend of mine was a lobbyist at the state level for a mental health lobbying group. His daughter has schizophrenia and that was his way to give back in his retirement. Without lobbying, it’s hard for politicians to know when there is a problem they need to fix. They have a small staff and they don’t just magically know when there is a problem. The problem is when a politician either can’t sniff out unethical lobbyists or just doesn’t care.

Mostly FOSS locally, but I rely on some proprietary software where there are gaps in the FOSS ecosystem.

Definite dsheep state, like how the family name used to be Dtrump.

Pretty much anything that substantially improves batteries will be huge. R & D money is pouring in and that likely means progress. Improvements could be felt in factors like environmental impact, weight, energy density, safety, and charge time.

Blahaj cannot speak, therefore Blahaj cannot give consent.

Why you torture blahaj?

maybe she respected your input on the way the task got done

This is when I knew I was starting to really learn how to do my current job, when people came to me with questions instead of the other way around. It took about two years, but it was a nice shift.
