  • We could see something about possibly pinning the libre mega on the site like the other megas.

    But I think a consistent mega post every week would bring in more traffic than what we had before. I think most hexbear users dont realize that this comm exists because Lemmy doesn't advertise communities well.





  • Corpos figured out that you can use digital gambling and skinner boxes to inflict a gambling addiction on impressionable people.

    The untold harm that gaming lootboxes has caused is heartbreaking and directly led to a business model of exploiting people's psychology for profit.

    In a good society if a informal economy worth tens of thousands of dollars forms around PNG files and tokens in your computer program you would be jailed immediately for fraud and child endangerment.

    China really needs to get on their ass about their own microtrasnaction problem, this shit is never healthy.






  • I see, but I'd think of weekly megathread with a small topic of the week like other megathreads would increase the visibility of the libre comm a bit more.

    We could have links to the previous megathreads in case a conversation has to continue longer (we don't have to lock previous megas like the general or news mega).


  • Btrfs is a really good filesystem but I think ZFS didn't take root because of the licensing issue in the kernel so most users never had the option to evaluate it unless they want to take on the effort maintaining it themselves so openZFS has this cult following.

    Part of the reason I considered ZFS because NixOS makes configuring your filesystem really easy with community projects like disko but if I wasn't using NixOS I'd just settle with Btrfs.

    You're arguing against basic precepts of kernel programming.

    Get your head examined. And get the fuck out of here with this shit.

    I don't feel comfortable recommending a solo project whose solo acts like this and then never owns up to it.


  • I'm fine with not having hibernation since I've gotten by without it on my current laptop.

    Bcachefs sole maintainer is a chud who got themselves banned from kernel development for one cycle for refusing to apologize for ableism.

    Even if they weren't an asshole, bcachefs is a new filesystem thats being maintained by a single person unlike ext4,btrfs,xfs,zfs etc which are far more tested and used so I'm wary of it until it goes through more testing through a distribution release rather than just enthusiasts.
