Randonneuring

long-distance unsupported endurance cycling. This style of riding is non-competitive in nature, and self-sufficiency is paramount. When riders participate in randonneuring events, they are part of a long tradition that goes back to the beginning of the sport of cycling in France and Italy.

But surely, a 3D printer could/can. It's just that the software that runs on it shouldn't have shit security and there should be multiple safeguards and redundant fail-safe systems.

Djent is a subgenre of progressive metal characterized by its use of complex and heavily syncopated rhythm patterns, pioneered by the Swedish band, Meshuggah. Its distinctive sound is that of high-gain, distorted, palm-muted, down-tuned strings. The name "djent" is an onomatopoeia of this sound.

I did this with /r/Cardano mods back before Reddit was blocking all mention of the fediverse even in PM’s. I managed to get one of them to help mod my Cardano communities. I’d wager that it’s exceedingly hard to get in touch with mods over there now that Huffman is blocking fediverse recruitment.

Actually, this is a good reminder that the average person who hates NFT's is a complete hivemind idiot, equating all NFT's to moonboi scams when NFT's are simply UUID's for blockchain technologies.

It's hard to find instances that offer what world offers, so I get it.

OTOH, I ended up moving or handing over most of my communities that I had created on world because this instance is TOO popular and bogged down all the time. Plus, they make arbitrary and drastic decisions without discussion on matters like defederation and often banning. It's smart to go to a smaller instance but it's also risky because any instance could go down at any moment. That's why many of my communities are duplicated (across world and infosec) because it would be devastating to lose all of those quality links and engagement.

  1. Mlem: missing a lot of features but the ones that they have work very well. This one feels the most native because it is. This is my current choice because it is actually native and open source. That icon is ugly as hell, though.

  2. Voyager: this one is a month ahead on features of ALL other lemmy apps. this one is the most feature-rich in that they have the ability to edit posts and do all kinds of other stuff. The non-native web app aspect causes it to lose LOTS of points in my book

  3. Memmy: this one was easily my favorite but the recent updates have started to show how poorly architected it is. They have a TON of work to do under the hood to make this one feel solid again..and honestly, I sincerely think it may never feel as responsive and snappy because they made the strange decision to make an iOS only app in react native....

  4. Liftoff: this one is pretty good but it just goes too far from the standard that Apollo set that I feel awkward in it.

  5. Bean: this one is early days but already has some cool stuff that I wish other apps had (the profile button at the bottom has the icon from the currently signed-in user) I had been asking for that feature from other devs for FAR too long.

A few of the communities that I created here, I probably wouldn’t want to mod long-term. They’re a piece of cake at the moment but if the fediverse were to blow up, I’d have to hand them over to someone with more time.

!krita@lemmy.world , !gimp@lemmy.world , !darktable@lemmy.world , !guitaramps@lemmy.world , !offset@lemmy.world , !machinists@lemmy.world and a few others were just created to keep those names in safe hands and I’d prefer to safeguard them until I can pass them on to another person who is deeply committed to the collaborative spirit of FOSS and wants to run a community with fair and gentle moderation, no gate-keeping, and not ban-happy like /r/guitar on Reddit.

I only go there to steal content that I then enhance manually. I always had a kneejerk reaction against the hackernews reposts on Reddit. So, I try to make my content cloning less conspicuous and I make sure to enhance the content with more depth when I bring it here.

It's kind of a ghost town so far. But if we can wrestle control of social media away from corporate control, democracy across the world will be stronger for it. Regardless, I'm here for the long haul, making contributions FAR exceeding my efforts on Reddit.

Why the fuck is Plex even a company? Attention venture capitalists: Get your money grubbing fingers the fuck off decent technologies that should in no way be tied to profit-seeking. We live in a dystopian hellscape.
