The article doesn’t load images for me, so here’s the photo from an archived copy:

I get a 404 error for that non-paywall link. So here’s a mirror: https://archive.ph/MgTmM

Also I’m vaguely pissed that Musk considers Iain Banks his favourite author while managing to completely misunderstand the Culture’s values. He even named his droneships after characters from the books 🤢

Tbh I was conservative with that 80%. I’m a very private and introverted person, being the social butterfly of a group is just exhausting, esp. when there’s clearly no interest from others 🤷

Sadly the screaming in our case was apparently attempted rape during a party 😬

I tried for a few months (invited a bunch of neighbours who didn’t know the group existed and so tripled its size), but people are extremely passive and unengaged. I don’t want 80% of group activity to be me 😅

this was hilarious 🤣 (never heard about that original jerk-off reaction either, fortunately it wasn’t a thing in Hungary)

We had one in the first building I lived in the UK, it was handy for gossip lol (“what was that screaming last night on the top floor?”). The address was posted on the entrance hall cork board. Ever since I moved from there, I wished that my subsequent buildings/neighbourhoods also had one, but even if one exists, it’s deathly silent for months at a time :/

Greater stability of this feature, maybe?

Lemmy may have significantly fewer features but in many ways it comes across as being significantly more polished .

Tbh that’s not surprising, looking at PieFed’s development priorities 😅 (emphasis mine)

Name them please, I’m desperate for ideas here.

Not sure if these are already addressed in PyLova, but some of my PieFed pain points are the notification page UI (namely the collapsed content previews and unintuitive mark as read buttons), and the lack of proper support for emoji (no shortcode suggestions like Lemmy/GitHub/etc. has, and the manual picker is unsearchable and missing many newer ones).

Not enforced by my work, but Photoshop is honestly the least painful to replace. I’m having a lot more trouble finding fully featured alternative to InDesign and Illustrator. Scribus looks pretty rough and Inkscape has an unintuitive UI and no proper CMYK support.

Need Adobe software for work. Want to play online games that have anti-cheat. Also like to run mods in my games.

I have a shitty old laptop for travelling that I’ll try to install Linux on this weekend, since I only need Firefox on that.

fascinating!

I saw similar when looking for work as a graphic designer, with duties that can be summarised as “design our printed materials, build our website (with JavaScript knowledge required), and also plan our marketing strategy”.

Then when I mentioned this in a Clients from Hell comment section, I got someone defend the practice with that small companies can’t afford to hire separate people for the 3 separate skillsets…
