The problem is chatgpt will say you the wrong answer confidently unlike humans
We must be hanging around different humans.

Mostly, yes. I don’t have enough other stuff to warrant storing it separately in a garage.
My garage is huge compared to my house. It has 2 cars, a laundry, and all of the stuff I don’t use every day.
…
You get all the stuff into the same size house
Sounds like the problem is all the stuff.

HA HA HA WE’RE SO FUCKED
Just to clarify…is /showerthoughts just a place to post an opinion?
Then there is the tankie Left, which also started with good intentions but seem to have confuse the recipe-book of slogans and the Party über alles discipline invented in the late 19th century and early 20th century by middle class intellectuals to inspired the near-illiterate masses of the time to create an utopian leftwing world (which didn’t work) with the actual thinking Principles and Intentions from which the rules were made.
The “tankies” are absolutely not utopian. There was a great big schism about this very question more than a century ago, with Marxists roundly rejecting the utopianism of the libertarian socialists (Anarchists). Socialism: Utopian and Scientific by Engels is a good starting point.
but I hate it when someone behind the scenes decides whether or not I should be able to debate/talk to my political opposites.
Then you’re not gonna be a fan of federated alternatives like Lemmy. At least unless you run your own instance. Because instance admins can defederate from other instances, preventing you from reaching those defederated instances. In my mind, this is a Good Thing. I don’t want to federate with nazis and fascists myself, and I want to minimize my association with anyone who does. If “having a dialogue” with people that want us dead is super important, then they can pick a different instance to call home.
Last I heard, he had stepped down as a developer.
Using Jerboa I get infinite scroll
For me, this is a bug and not a feature.

The Lemmy mobile app is excellent. I never feel a need to download an app to browse on mobile.

Absolutely not, and this article goes into quite a few reasons why:
https://blog.brixit.nl/developers-are-lazy-thus-flatpak/
Sadly there’s reality. The reality is to get away from the evil distributions the Flatpak creators have made… another distribution. It is not a particularly good distribution, it doesn’t have a decent package manager. It doesn’t have a system that makes it easy to do packaging. The developer interface is painfully shoehorned into Github workflows and it adds all the downsides of containerisation.
While the developers like to pretend real hard that Flatpak is not a distribution, it’s still suspiciously close to one. It lacks a kernel and a few services and it lacks the standard Linux base directory specification but it’s still a distribution you need to target. Instead of providing seperate packages with a package manager it provides a runtime that comes with a bunch of dependencies.
If you need a dependency that’s not in the runtime there’s no package manager to pull in that dependency. The solution is to also package the dependencies you need yourself and let the flatpak tooling build this into the flatpak of your application. So now instead of being the developer for your application you’re also the maintainer of all the dependencies in this semi-distribution you’re shipping under the disguise of an application. And one thing is for sure, I don’t trust application developers to maintain dependencies.
Even if there weren’t so many holes in the sandbox. This does not stop applications from doing more evil things that are not directly related to filesystem and daemon access. You want analytics on your users? Just requirest the internet permission and send off all the tracking data you want.
Developers are not supposed to be the ones packaging software so it’s not hard at all. It’s not your task to get your software in all the distributions, if your software is useful to people it tends to get pulled in.
Another issue is with end users of some of my Flatpaks. Flatpak does not deal well with software that communicates with actual hardware. A bunch of my software uses libusb to communicate with sepecific devices as a replacement for some Windows applications and Android apps I would otherwise need. The issue end users will run in to is that they first need to install the udev rules in their distribution to make sure Flatpak can access those USB devices. For the distribution packaged version of my software it Just Works™
STAR Voting fails the Later-No-Harm criterion, which makes it a no-go for me. Any voting system that can have lesser ranked candidates siphoning off support from higher ranked candidates is, for me at least, a fundamentally broken system that ultimately just reverts to FPTP when people start bullet voting to avoid that flaw.
