I use it probably ten times a day!

You can set up Cloudflare as your CDN and turn on CSAM detection. It will automatically block links to known CSAM from the managed global CSAM hash lists.

If you want something in addition to that, you can use db0’s plugin that adds in a similar capability.

my keyboard looks like this... so... no?

and honestly it's so much nicer to program with a small keyboard. everything is exactly where you need it to be. I don't ever have to reach for a key, as they're all right there. And I can make them do literally anything I want. So many benefits of a small keyboard over a full size.

Your logic doesn’t make any sense. They make money off of people paying for a service or watching ads. If you’re blocking ads then you’re costing Google money and no creators are getting paid. If you’re paying for the service then you don’t get ads, and you pay the creators, and you pay for Google to keep running the service.

That’s good to hear. Thanks for the update!

I’m kinda with the other person…go with an Apple, even a cheap air will work better than any windows option (my m2 air literally works better with adobe stuff than my custom built gaming pc with a 3080 in it). Yeah the storage thing sucks, but you should be using a NAS for your data storage anyway, and if you do really need it for things like travel, you can always get an m.2 nvme USB stick and put literally whatever size m.2 in it you want. But yeah, the storage situation sucks in Apple land.

They’re looking for someone to confirm their biases, not actually looking for the truth. It’s pretty clear by their responses that all they’ll accept is someone stating that they’re a far left org.

I'm biased (I created programming.dev), but I think lemmyrs.org should definitely not be the main site, but that goes for any site with "lemmy" in the name. The entire purpose of federation is that the software doesn't matter. If things go south with lemmy in the future, or people fork it, or just want to migrate to different software you've now completely tied the identity of the site to the software it's running on, which just really seems dumb to me. The reason I chose programming.dev as the name is several reasons.

  • It immediately tells you what the website is about
  • It's easily remembered.
  • It's indicative of what you will find on the website, not just one programming language, but all things programming at all.
  • It's one general concept.
    • It's not extremely specific, which contributes to website 'rot' as only specific users of that specific community will ever use that site. It promotes growth, as almost anyone can find a home on the website. It encourages branching out into different topics, as you might come for Rust, but then find the Kotlin community and think "what's that" and go learn something new.
    • It's not extremely general. For the majority of lemmy sites, you have no clue what kind of communities the site hosts, so you have no reason to choose that instance over any others. For example, lemmy.world, what is it about? What communities are there? Why would I choose lemmy.world over lemmy.ml over shitjustworks (where even do you put the dots there? That has to be the worst named site out of all of them really).
    • There's either no opportunity for growth if you go too specific, or too much opportunity for growth, completely defeating the purpose of federation if you go too general. "Programming" as a concept is plenty large, while not encapsulating the entire world.

Of course, these are my own opinions, but I did think for a long time about it before settling on the website name, while it seems most server owners did not really think at all about their site names.

That’s not “exactly” what they mean, as the difference between what you think they’re saying and other commenters think is clearly different. Is la croix or bubbly allowed? If not then what about a hard seltzer? If those are allowed then why isn’t lemon water allowed? If those aren’t allowed then where is the line? Gatorade is seltzer water without the bubbles and with electrolytes. It’s clear that OP’s question was not well thought out, hence why so many people here have a problem with it.

Sisyphus

ooh. that's good. I was thinking Atlas, cuz he carries the world, but Sisyphus is a better metaphor. Might offend my QA members though 😂

[-] snowe@programming.dev 10 points 3 years ago

correct. I've been looking for the thread to try and find it for you, but haven't been having any luck. People have been discussing exactly that though, but it seems like it could cause some problems with vote faking. Anyway, it is being worked on!
