Dune. You can’t capture the complexities of that book in a movie. You can smudge a lot details into scenes of Timothée Chalamet staring intensely at beautiful CGI scenery, but it misses a lot.
Fuck Reddit. I’m here now and it’s great.
Quitting Reddit and switching to lemmy - easy. Quitting FB - not possible. I have no other way to keep in touch with remote friends and relatives and there are local FB groups that are useful for me. Dropping Whatsapp also is sadly impossible. With my nerdy friends I use telegram/signal but 99.99% of ppl are available only on WhatsApp.
For app data, Borg as backup/restore software. Backup data is then stored on Hetzner as an offsite backup - super easy and cheap to setup. Also add healthchecks.io to get notified if a backup failed.
Edit: Backup docker compose files and other scripts (without API keys!!!) with git to GitHub.
The easiest option ATM would be for an app to combine both communities into one synthetic feed
It feels like it is possible to have a conversation here. In Reddit I felt like my comments were getting buried
I’d recommend Debian Linux. It’s free, stable, has all the software you’ll need with long term support, ton of online resources and communities to learn from. You can start with or without UI.
OP is correct. We have very little to to gain and everything to lose.
Yeah that’s a possibility. They could do something like “ohh too bad Killer Feature X is looking so badly on Mastodon. On Threads it will look so much better”. Essentially using fedi as a crappy demo for Threads. That sounds like a typical business plan to me.
Even when it is installed as a separate app?
Using wefwef.app (it’s a web app) and it’s great. Sometimes I need remind myself that I’m not using Apollo.
This is great news. Algorithm optimized social networks are poison to society.
