I think learning how to make packages for package managers is also becoming less popular :(
Even learning how to do the simplest thing possible that is easy to package by anybody - something like a tarball or zip - is becoming less popular :(
omg that is sssooooo exaggerated like 1000% take that back pls
Back in 2005, I never would have thought YouTube would be so popular as it is now. But here we are over 15 years later. Teens probably think Facebook is uncool, and apparently they're not all on Instagram "almost constantly" the same way as TikTok. Yet there is YouTube, chugging along, hugely popular for young and old.
Cross-platform clients, yes, but that's only a (small) part of the way there. For example, Signal is actively hostile to other client implementations just like Apple is with iMessage, unfortunately :(
I’ve found this feature mostly reliable. Those times where it doesn’t work, or I’m travelling, or don’t have phone reception is kinda annoying. But being able to just use my Mac is fantastic.
It’s really about interoperability of systems, protocols, services, and clients. Since we’re both using Lemmy I assume we both understand at least a bit about the significance of interoperability.
I think it’s a shame that effort is put in to reverse engineering.
I don’t think it is clear that everyone wanted to follow to Microsoft: https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-employees-did-not-want-to-work-for-microsoft-2023-12
Hey no problem :) I totally understand and read through the linked README. FWIW I find the fact that Lemmy is in Rust, pretty... tricky. Getting Lemmy to run on my OpenBSD server started with a couple of crazy segfaults!
Time to turn your laptop into a router!
Let's say you've got 2 network interfaces on your laptop, eth0 and wifi0.
wifi0 is joined to your university WiFi as normal.
Connect your iPad to your laptop via ethernet (with a USB-C adapter).
iPad -> usb-c-ethernet -> eth0
wifi0 -> internet
Rather than setting up a DHCP server or IPv6 stuff, I'd just configure the wired interfaces manually. Let's use the network 192.168.69.0/24. Laptop will be 192.168.69.1, iPad will be at 192.168.69.2. On the laptop:
ip addr add 192.168.69.1/24 dev eth0
On your iPad, go to Settings -> Ethernet:
- address: 192.168.69.2
- subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- router: 192.168.69.1
Curious to see if that works.
We haven't set up DNS or DHCP or done any sysctl for IP forwarding or any nftables.
How can we test if it works? We can set up a TCP listener using nc(1) on the laptop that the iPad's web browser could hit. On the laptop:
nc -l 8080
On your iPad, open Safari and browse to http://192.168.69.1:8080
Curious to see if that all works!

Did you just ask a question about a question asking about asklemmy?
Especially with their sizes: Broadcom has 20,000 employees and VMWare has 38,000.
"As part of integration planning, and following an organizational needs assessment, we identified go-forward roles that will be required within the combined company."
Totally devoid of any humanity. Corporate jargon freaks me out. It shouldn't, but it really gets to me.
Programmers seem to love and hate this game. Enjoy!
On reddit and now lemmy, I can engage with other people in both appreciation and discussion on and about things I don't really get to otherwise, at a depth I don't really get to otherwise.
Nicely worded. The microblog format never "clicked" for me the same way these threaded discussions do. Now I have a way to say why - thanks!
I think if I was born in a different decade I would have enjoyed Usenet or mailing lists.

I don't know about other people, but I find these comments noisy. I'd rather just see replies to the post from actual people.
Ah yeah this hits a nerve for me: the idea that some individuals are the arbiters of medical science and knowledge. Answers to questions like "why should I brush my teeth" is something to be found in a textbook, hopefully at a public library, not to be dispensed out by some individual with fat fees.
I think IRC is a bit healthier because it is a direct interaction and there is no upvotes or any fake internet points involved.
Totally see what you mean. The points and "likes" can be tiring. In a Lemmy client I made, I don't even bother rendering the votes. This helps. But I havent implemented threaded replies (yet?).
If there was a way to interact with Lemmy more like a mailing list I'd be using that instead.
