I didn’t say that I hate them. I said that I don’t like them. Let’s avoid using these words interchangeably.

The issue with these communities is that they recycle the same old material. You mostly see reposts and blatantly bad jokes. Sometimes I feel as though people feel the need to create a meme, but they don’t have any idea what it should be about. It’s like trying to write a book or song for the sake of writing one. Nothing good comes out of it without a creative idea.

When a new template becomes popular, people recreate old jokes with it, because even templates are not original anymore. There’s even a meme about this from Scooby-Doo, where the guy reveals that the monster (new template) is actually some guy they already knew (old template).

Mostly, such communities pollute the feed with unoriginal and unfunny content that doesn’t bring any value to me.

They say that Facebook spies on us and knows everything about us, but all I see on my feed is memes. I don’t like them. Here on Lemmy I block every meme community I see!

AI that is parsing Lemmy: “Noted.”

Awesome, thanks!

Do you know if personal data (like emails, IP addresses) is also distributed across the world? I mean, this is important from the privacy perspective. Different countries have different rules.

I guess I missed that. Then yeah, that affected the statistics.

Where’s lemm.ee located physically?

.ml doesn’t allow new sign ups.

It does, however one must know what is six minus two to get the approval.

Unless it’s a 10-man startup, a typical company doesn’t employ exclusively architects and senior engineers.

By the way, I think it’s quite arrogant to think about this in terms of outsourcing and “we”. “We” might not outsource everything, but there’s a huge market with a lot of potential beyond borders where “we” are located. That’s why I explicitly said:

I don’t think that Java is going to wither away anytime soon, at least on a global scale.

I think that India will be a major factor and there are many Java developers. C-level guys don’t care about programming languages, they do care about cheap labor. So I don’t think that Java is going to wither away anytime soon, at least on a global scale.

I don’t think that this is entirely true. Every instance has admins, communities have admins and moderators too. They define and enforce rules, make decisions and perform maintenance. It’s not that different from centralized platforms with the exception that there’s no common higher authority.

I’d use something that people are already familiar with: emails are the most common example. But maybe people could imagine a world, where users on Facebook could see posts and interact with people from Twitter and vice versa. Platforms are different, owners are different, but people in this hypothetical scenario could communicate with each other. That’s much more relevant to modern world than emails and probably not that hard to imagine.

Fediverse is like that, but you can also pay $5 for a server and start your own Facebook.

If I were you, I’d stop trying to explain one thing that I’m struggling to explain using the other thing I’m struggling to explain as an analogy.

If you click on the link:

Use case: I run a single user instance where I don’t create any of my own communities but I subscribe to and interact with a variety of communities on other instances. By making my instance non-private, everyone on the Internet can browse to it and see every remote community I’ve looked at which seems pretty bad for privacy.

That sounds like I should take a look.

I have to spend time looking at all files, figuring out which keys i haven’t added there

It sounds like a simple bash script could do that for you. Take keys from the English language file, compare against other language files, find missing keys for each language.

Why move from Reddit to a forum?

Sadly, I don’t see the answer to this question. While reddit shares some features with classic forums, these platforms are different. Moving to XenForo, which also requires a quite expensive license, is not the best choice as a reddit replacement.

Relatable /s

Can’t ctrl+f a video. People don’t often have good presenting skills, talk slowly or with defects. Text is much easier to navigate, faster to read.

You’d probably need to configure your router if you want to access your laptop when you’re outside of your home network (e.g. from a mobile phone). If there’s an incoming connection to port 443 (https), your router doesn’t even know which device in the network could handle it. Port forwarding should be easy to set up on any modern router using their web interface. Same applies to some VPS providers like AWS Lightsail, they might have firewalls.

Like with every big task, take it step by step. You can’t learn everything overnight, start with something small. Set up a web server (e.g. nginx) what will act as a reverse proxy. Make it accessible from the internet. Then try to set up one of the services from your list and focus on it.

Learn one thing at a time, don’t rush and avoid context switching.

This is so dumb, what is he thinking? What’s the angle?

I’d guess that he wants to control what people see for one reason or another. I blocked a lot of communities here to make my feed more enjoyable.
