Now that's exciting, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished app

Yeah, I can tell why this is from adhddd.com, it's all about assertiveness. People with ADHD in general (including myself, to an extent) have trouble with being assertive, so most of the phrases in this chart try to change a meek or mild-mannered response to a more assertive one. I think part of the struggle of life is finding balance because while some of these are generally improvements, others are generally worse, and the difference will depend on the tone you're going for and the person that you're sending the email.

Most of that traffic is probably lurkers and content consumers. Reddit will continue chugging along for a bit, but the loss of power users and mods is about guaranteed to wither the platform over time.

A Reddit is when you destroy a social media platform because you're angry with its users. It's a common billionaire or wannabe billionaire move.

I use Bitwarden, and pay for their premium services. I really like it, it helps me keep track of all of my accounts, I'm able to keep all of my individual account passwords secure and unique, and I'm able to autofill my login credentials on all of my devices.

I think that will improve over time. A lot of people here are fresh off Reddit's burning ship. I think given a couple weeks people will settle in and Reddit will fade into the background.

During the final days I spent on the platform, Reddit was starting to become very generic. Many subreddits, despite being about theoretically different topics, devolved into a generic Reddit frontpage community. Even if Lemmy becomes a lot more popular, my hope is that the communities here will stay somewhat distinct and won't become as much of circlejerks.

You're correct, of course, but these types of communities tend to be occupied by people outside of the mainstream who care more about these issues. Also, I think it's important people have the freedom to repair the technology they own even if the majority of people will choose not to, having the ability is still important.

The quality of the posts being worse makes sense, I'm guessing some of the Reddit power users moved here and they were generating the majority of quality OC on Reddit.

[-] thesanewriter@vlemmy.net 13 points 1 year ago

Indeed. It makes sense it was laggy during the upscaling, but it's stabilized now and it's great to see how well Lemmy has grown. The other thing I've notes is development is currently proceeding at a frenzied pace, it feels like every few days a new feature is added, either in the main service or in the multitude of apps being developed.

[-] thesanewriter@vlemmy.net 13 points 1 year ago

Indeed. The growth here seems organic to me, so hopefully that's a good sign for our future.

That's a great idea. We could get them from a local comet, I'm sure it would never run out.

Howdy, everybody. I'm posting this here in an attempt to begin to move some information that is currently only stored on Reddit over to Lemmy instead, that way we'll start coming up in Google searches and we can get our information locally. I'll post my source in the comments if anyone's interested.

Problem: When running yay, either to install or update a package, you get an error along the lines of
rm: cannot remove '~/.cache/yay/arbitrary-file': Permission denied.

Solution: Oftentimes, it's because your permissions are wrong. You can either use chmod (helpful article) or you can use your file explorer (for Dolphin you right-click, go to properties, and then permissions) and give the build directory to give the build directory, usually ~/.cache/yay, read and modify permissions for both your user and your group, and make sure to give it to all of the subdirectories and files too. If ~/.cache/yay is not your build directory, it will be specified by the yay config, which is usually ~/.config/yay/config.json. Hope this helps any prospective Linux users, having the information about and available I think is good for the community.

Note: This is probably the cause and solution of a lot of other permission-denied problems for yay, but I can only confirm for myself.

Edit: Improved formatting.

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder from your mod team. Don't forget to report bad actors, malicious bots, or rulebreakers whenever you see them. !asklemmy@lemmy.world is one of the larger communities in the threadverse and it's hard to keep up, even with a larger mod team, so please report bad behavior.
