It is tech news, but I get you. It’s hard to find a place with news about actual technological innovations, advances, updates etc rather than the machinations of the corporations involved. I completely understand the relevance, but it’s often not the sort of genuinely interesting read you’re looking for.

Well, here you have a company that fires their CEO for going too much in the direction of earning money.

Yeah, honestly, that’s music to my ears. Imagine a world where organizations weren’t in the business of pursuing capital at any cost.

yeah, I use my start button all the time to quickly open stuff. Hit start, start typing the program name, hit enter because it shows up immediately as a suggestion. super quick with no need to touch the mouse

Zeke Hausfather, a research scientist at Berkeley Earth, warned more records could be broken this year, due to an increase in emissions and El Nino.

Okay, I know this isn’t the point of the article, but this guy’s name is cool as hell and would fit perfectly as the leader of a band of survivors once the climate change apocalypse actually hits.

Now, that said, I would prefer that it didn’t. Every other form of existential dread I can rationalize away, but this feels inexorable.

Here’s a link to the blocky docs with a little more explanation. The above link looks like it goes to the a docker image posted on the user’s profile… I think? ^I need to get more familiar with docker^

I think the best approach might be general subject-specific instances? Like, video.games with a main games community, meme community, then smaller communities for various games - or sports.social, with communities for each sport.

I feel like we’re going to end up with a particular community on a particular instance ending up as the “default” community for that subject, but it’d probably be better (in an ideal world) to have those on separate instances to maintain some degree of decentralization

This is nice! my only suggestion would be the ability to minimize cards for a text feed, if that’s something that’s eventually possible.

I like how smooth wefwef is, but if I could keep everything from auto-expanding (i.e. just scrolling through titles instead) it’d be closer to the old.reddit / RiF experience 🙂

honestly, easier community discovery from both local and foreign instances is a huge need for lemmy in general

It is very smooth! Is this what Apollo looked like?

I was surprised to see all the auto-expanded images, but I guess I was expecting more of the old.reddit / reddit is fun aesthetic. So far, I’ve just been using the lemmy mobile site on firefox ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh, that’s really neat. thanks for the link!

yeah, agreed, I’d love something like that for the fediverse. Honestly, it feels like accessing various communities from different instances would actually feel more natural with it all being fed through the terminal for some reason.

Sorry, not an answer to your question, but what’s rtv?

but they don’t seem to be getting updated in Lemmy.world.

I think that’s something to do with the version of Lemmy that .world is currently on, so that should hopefully be resolved relatively soon.

what is 195/196? I see them pop up sometimes but that name conveyed nothing to me in terms of what they’re actually about

3 is the biggest thing about pivoting more towards Lemmy / traditional forums for me. It’s been really nice feeling like I’m not drowning in a sea of trite idiocy and unempathetic rage every time I open a comment section. It’s genuinely refreshing to feel like I’m actually engaging with normal people again.
