What's an obsolete or incredibly obscure word you think people should know?
  • Hungarian as well. Tomorrow = holnap, overmorrow = holnapután. You can also stack the ”után" if you so wish, like holnapután-után. But more than that and you will get some curious looks from others :)

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • What remains as methods of protest after this? I wonder what would happen to a subreddit if it's moderators would simply stop moderating all together...

    But I guess admins could always make someone a moderator, there's always someone willing to have a power trip.

  • When happy teams are an issue
  • Yeah, when you start Jira you're probably still a happy team

  • The Open Source Computer Science Degree
  • I think it's more important than ever. Software is getting slower and slower, and the bloat is ridiculous. Imho this is because we just work with abstractions over abstracions ignorant to how it will be computed on a real machine. I think a more appropriate methapor would be, that you can speak and understand language (program) while being illiterate at the same time (not having a fundamental understanding on how a computer works). Of course this is a exaggeration, you don't need to know about these stuff to be a adequate programmer I think.

  • How big is YOUR collection?
  • I do the same. I have 500GiB storage for my Pi4, which I use for torrenting and Kodi. I delete stuff if I watched it and it reaches 2:1 seed ratio, or after a couple of months. So in a way I don't really have a collection.

  • SUSE Requests openSUSE to Rebrand
  • Ooooh, I love GeckOS, rolls off the tongue silky smooth. Maybe this is just a great opportunity to rebrand (again)

  • Little bobby Fortran
  • This kid is gonna get rich if they stick to it

  • The developer of new Steam roguelike Dice and Fold is “amazed by the reception” after launch, and launches its extreme mode update early.
  • That's subjective, depends on what you expect from a game. Personally I love them because I just like learning, mastering and beating a system. Others might value a narrative or social aspects of gaming more, and that's allright.

  • Oracle Java license teams set to begin targeting Oracle users who don't think they use Oracle
  • Honestly, the new licensing model for Oracle JDK was known for so, so long, and every company had every chance to use an open alternative. Actually I think Oracle has been pretty lenient with it's grace period, so I don't feel sorry for the companies held accountable over this

  • Do some druuuugs

    Edit: Nah, jk. I do play too much Deep Rock Galactic tho, which might as well be a drug

  • How can I send 50gb+ file over internet to friend?
  • This is awesome, of course it's xkdc. Thanks, now I can rest easy

  • How can I send 50gb+ file over internet to friend?
  • Now I wonder how much bandwith do post offices have theoretically

  • Medieval painters rule
  • They do be saying that life imitates art

  • Doing my part
  • You're criticising the OP for low effort, but also the community for high interest. What are you trying to say really?

    Reddit seems to be down for many people according to DownDetector reports

    Educational vs Entertainment Piracy
  • Why entertainment is a luxury, knowledge and education is basically what human civilization is built upon and should be free. Of course the reality is that people need money in the current system we live in and we have to reward those somehow who dedicates their time and efforts to education.

    So I've arrived to a conundrum... Because I think morally it's more acceptable to pirate educational content (imho), but I'm also more likely to pay the educators, as it is a very important job. Of course this does not apply to when someone just gatekeeps knowledge because of greed, it's very similar to charity fraud in my book

  • lemmy rulez
  • It is always left out from the Lemmy app party :(

    Why aren't more people creating new operating systems, considering that macOS, Windows, and Linux were developed by individuals with computer science and programming skills?
  • Jonathan Blow said he might try his hand at creating an operating system (maybe after finishing his programming language Jai, and his gargantuan Sokoban game :)) Sadly it's unrealistic another operating system will be created for the general public without massive funds.

  • Grandma share her experience with Debian 12 and the Gnome Desktop.
  • Such hateful ideas are a symptom which can have wast variety of root cause. Your example is quite extreme and I agree it rightfully warrants hatred, but I'd argue that it's all the more reason to not dismiss a person. We should seek connection with and understand these people and prevent destructive ideas from spreading IMHO, because there will be others who also won't dismiss the person - only difference is that they might be receptive for hateful ideas. Sorry if I came across supporting these ideas, this is not the case.

  • Steam Deck reclaims its top spot, knocking Helldivers 2 down one place
  • Interesting find. I guess the target audience are VR arcades/rentals. Considering they probably return the investment in a couple dozen sessions it's reasonable price (for a business).

  • Grandma share her experience with Debian 12 and the Gnome Desktop.
  • I'm personally not going to hate on or dismiss a person based on political opinions or ideologies

  • Meta discontinues Messenger Lite for Android, it will be unavailable after Sep 18. Users need to install regular Messenger app instead

    I have not found any news article on this on a whim. Because my friends and family, I need to use Facebook Messenger, and Messenger Lite was a OK client - lightweight, no unnecessary features, etc., compared to the regular Messenger app.

    Now I'm a little torn, having a Meta app on my phone is already bad, but having to downgrade to the bloated Messenger app? Not sure I will make a change. What are your thoughts?
