Thanks. I’d go the online route if my kid was a few years older but given the age, I believe in-person lessons are the best for now.
Thanks. Bookmarked.
OK, I think I see your point more clearly now. I suppose that’s what many others do (apparently I don’t represent the norm ever 😂.)
So tags can be useful for not only listening but also discovery.
I guess my concern RE tag & community competing. But I’ve got no prior experience designing a social/community based application to be confident to take my case to the RFC.
Hopefully time will prove me wrong.
That’s a fair use-case.
You see memes in your feed (despite not subscribing to meme’y communities). Three things come to my mind, thinking out loud here:
(1) Could it be b/c the community is not granular enough? Remember we’re in the early stages of Lemmy w/ big “holistic” communities. I’d suppose as we grow, a overarching community will specialise and be split into several more specific ones?
(2) Creating “filters” based on tag/content is a fair usecase and I would second the idea as long as the main dimension of organisation remains “community.” I’m a bit over-attached to “community” b/c I feel that’s a defining element of Lemmy experience & am afraid that touching that balance may change the essence.
(3) Tags can be used to achieve (2) indeed but is the added complexity (❓) to the codebase and UI/UX worth it?
I’m not sure how I’d feel about government housing; are there any decent examples of that throughout modern history at all?
It may work after all - honestly, I don’t know. But the first thing that crosses my mind is that government owned property blocks (to control the rental/sales prices) is just patching up the symptom and not addressing the root cause.
Ironically, I’m not even sure what the root cause is besides unfair distribution of wealth and how to address it besides thinking taxing done right may make it less unfair.
Precisely. That’s the thing that I’ve been thinking.
The other thing, which I’ve seen in other countries happen, is to aim for speed and quantity at the cost of quality which can have plenty of nasty safety and social impacts.
I’d have elaborated more on the “social side” but I just can’t find a way to talk about that w/o sounding like a condescending a-hole, esp given my little knowledge on the topic 😂
I’m not sure I understand the value of tags for Lemmy (or Reddit in a similar vein.)
Lemmy’s main (& sole?) dimension of organisation is the concept of “community.” You subscribe to communities to automatically receive their updates on your feed.
Now, tags are going to add another dimension for organisation which allows one to curate their feed w/o subscribing.
The good thing about tags is that they simplify “listening.” No need to keep searching for communities or keep scrolling through your feed to find the content you’re interested in.
The downside of tags, IMO, is that it fundamentally competes w/ the concept of “communities” in the sense that, why would I bother w/ finding communities and “explore”, and consequently, potentially contribute to the content of a community where I can simply listen to tags I’m interested in and forget about the rest.
IMO, the reason that tags (moderated or not) are working so beautifully on Mastodon is the lack of communities: listening is the only option.
I stand to be corrected, but it (tags and communities) very much feels like an either/or situation.
PS: Despite its quality and friendliness, Lemmy’s user base and the content they creates is still small. That means, for the time being, communities may work just fine. As we grow and so does our volume of content, we’d probably need new strategies to augment communities. Though I wouldn’t call that a concern of now or near future.
My 2 cents.
That sounds promising. I’m, naively, hoping it will have an impact on the prices for all and not a certain group of people w/ certain income ranges.
The first few paragraphs were a good read where the author makes a good point.
Sadly, it somehow turns into a BluSky promotion afterwards.
Good read, nonetheless.
junk
I’d say “irrelevant to my interests” 🤷♂️
I agree w/ you RE posts looking horrible 👍
Though I’d say for one-liners like this, it’s mostly OK. It gets really messy when folks post more complex posts and mention and tag a bunch of times.
Any error logs? Try launching things from the terminal and note down any messages that are printed there.
messing with the partition any more than I already have
Running fsck
is a harmless and actually pretty useful operation, esp if you boot using a USB stick.
But yes, never hurts to have backups - easier said than done 😂
I’m not on a Debian-based system but a recent experience w/ packaging a software as a DEB was quite eye-opening 😅 The format and the build process felt too cluttered (to me) and it wasn’t easy for me to wrap my head around it.
I’m happy that folks are working on alternatives ✌️
Have you tried booting into recovery mode and perform a fsck
on the drive - using the grub menu? Or you could boot via USB and try the procedure.
I can’t tell if this is a genuine question or sarcasm 🤷♂️
I wanted to say “I’m not sure. I’m not on Ubuntu” but then I remembered about distrobox 😄
It took only a few minutes to confirm that the links I shared earlier (https://lemmy.ml/comment/3090571) do NOT install the snap version.
Thanks. Bookmarked the site. Also noted RE age.
