Interesting.

Relying on your intuition really is no substitute to actually looking things up. If I had a tattoo on the back of my hand, it should say something like that, so that I won’t forget it. Keeps happening all the time.

On the other hand, the internet is always more than glad to correct my mistakes, so I still see this mess as a win-win for everyone.

IMO link B is the “most original” one. Sort of like an “authoritative source”, if you will.

Abstract art goes way back. I have no idea where to draw the line between traditional and everything else.

Oh, that’s so delightfully clever. Good job!

Username (top right corner), settings, scroll down… Keep on going… There! Sort type: top hour.

If you’re using a mobile client, it’s also somewhere in the settings. Probably buried deep.

Using a blacklist approach seems to be very popular, but here’s an alternative for those who want to try something different.

Subscribe to all the communities you consider worth your time. Change the setting of your default feed so that home=subscribed. When you’re just casually browsing, you’ll see posts from the communities you’ve explicitly approved, so you can be pretty sure that you won’t be seeing stuff you don’t want to be exposed to.

If you want to discover new and interesting places, there are actually a few communities specifically for that purpose. ([email protected] and [email protected]) Just subscribe to those, and your home feed will introduce you to new things from time to time. If you want to see shitposts, politics, memes or a combination of all three, you can always visit the “all” feed.

This should cover it fairly well.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I’m concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.

Risky comment of the day. Maybe they just don’t like to hear what I have to say. Maybe I could have been a little less blunt about it. Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Both extremes exist. Hence, the condition about loosing your grip on reality.

People above a certain age should begin to avoid social media and stick with more private forms of communication like email, phone calls, signal messages and f2f discussions. Once your ability to tell fact from fiction deteriorates enough, announcing your opinions publicly becomes increasingly problematic.

Interesting. That exact same logo was used by the app that changed its name to Impressia. So, maybe it started as one thing, but later evolved to what it is now. A confusing journey really.

Isn’t that just a pixelfed app? I think Vernissage changed its name recently. Nowadays it’s like Impressia or something like that.

What about the Marxist-Leninist, communist, socialist, anti-capitalist crowd? I don’t know if they hang around on other platforms, but they certainly are present here on Lemmy.

Also, what about sexual and gender minorities? I get the feeling that there are a lot of queer people on Mastodon. Maybe that could be another selection criteria.

Like this:

Are you queer? -> Mastodon

Are you a Marxist? -> Lemmy

Oh yeah. This looks like a much better way to do it. My solution is pretty bare bones by comparison.

Absolutely not, quite the opposite actually. However, the end result is close to 100% CPU load, which is good enough for some purposes. Let’s say you want to test the performance of your CPU cooler, or overclock stability, this should good enough. There are also dedicated tools for people with more advanced needs.

That’s a horrifying concept. Better not think about it.

That reminds me of the CPU stress test I ran many years ago.

dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/null

If you have 8 cores, just open 8 terminals, and run that code in each of them.

It’s basically a black hole where you can throw anything.

Same. Many years ago, I tried a bunch of low spec browsers, and Midori was the best one at the time.

All the others were really light and stripped down, which also made them pretty much completely incompatible with the modern web. So what exactly can you browse with them, if not the web, I was left wondering. Well, Midori was the best compromise. It’s very light, but still capable of doing things.
