As many others did, and many others will in the future.
Referring new users to a poorly named instance is a generally bad idea. Many of our instances do look very similar to the nonsense links you’re taught you’re not supposed to not click on if you get them in an email or see them on the internet in the wild.
I thought the film was called Tront because I read wrong.
I was more interested then. I didn’t know what it was.
What you’re saying is “reddit is fine, it can stay the front page of the internet, I don’t mind”
Yeah, this is just stupid. I wish a significant amount of redditors would go to lemmy.world
I mean, what do you want to tell them to join? Something called “mander.xyz”? “sopuli.xyz”? Maybe something like sh.itjust.works, jlai.lu or yall.theatl.social? I’d feel awkward enough telling them to join “Lemmy” then linking to lemm.ee. Sending them to lemmy.ml would just be cruel.

You’re joking but we have to scale up, GPUs and CPUs will get bigger and bigger if they gonna be more and more performant. There is no cheating the scale where electrons will just jump across threads. It’s impressive where we’ve gotten and how fast we got there, but from now it’s either scale up or stay stuck at a few square centimeters of dense silicon.
What do you mean?
It’s been slowing down for years and is now about as dead as a 90 year old in a coma. Or it just was confirmed dead and is therefore about as dead as a 90 year old with no heartbeat.
We haven’t gotten advancements anywhere near the pace of previous generations. None of the small improvements are from a significant increase in capacity, but from a messy unstable variety of things that often at other costs just push the limits of the limit, which we’ve clearly reached. I personally have to undervolt mine and just hope it doesn’t crash, and I don’t use the AI frames because it looks bad. It’s a mess.
The hardware is strained and the picture is fucking stained.
It’s not Moore’s law that will describe any increased performance from here. It’s other things. Personally I want to see significantly larger consumer GPUs as we admit we cannot scale down to fit more anymore.
It probably can’t just be ATX from here.
I’d like to see significant improvements in the build in general while we scale up. These expensive parts shouldn’t be connected by cheap shitty connectors that are so tough to seat and unseat that it jeopardizes the parts.
Also, no more floating GPUs, formalize a standard solution to support the far end properly, even if it scales up to the size of a fucking longboard and the weight of a car tire. Have a plan and include the parts to fully support it.
This period of custom loose-sitting GPU support pillars has been pathetic. I recently moved and cut a toilet paper roll in half and taped it to the bottom of the case to prevent any bump from dislodging the GPU during transport, as is a known (and accepted) problem. I fucking hated doing that.
Reddit has taken a side.
“Think of the kings and nobility! You frighten them! Please just come to us with your concerns and we’ll discuss it in a civilized manner! Pick your representatives, send them in to us and stay outside, our court can’t handle you all at once. And please, dismantle the guillotine, would you?”
Lemmy isn’t about making you personally cozy.
Lemmy and the Fediverse is only truly successful if it changes the internet completely, to no longer be a space where the majority socialize according to the terms of corporations.
Anything short of that, and we might as well go back to Reddit and just let the rich have the internet.

Would this be a consequence of the Project 2025 federal purge?
Should just rerun the original, spare the kids this upcoming slop.
Even after expanding on it, you seem to think Hellwig and Rust4Linux should have the discussion in private, and Hellwig should make the final decision in private, and everyone else should just defer to Hellwig and shut up.
Condescending little shit.
I hope you choke on vomit when your time comes.
Fuck you.
You don’t get to hide behind this and stay cordial. You don’t get to excuse indifference and tolerance of forcefully overruling the deathwish of the suffering.
Your opinion means nothing. It’s fleeting, performative and inconsequential. You’re still accepting the restraints put upon the people who wish to die.
You personally are fine with people who restrain people who suffer and want to die to end it. You are fine with the enforcers of natural death being unyielding to the will of the restrained.
You don’t really give a shit.
You’re only temporarily acting like you’re on the right side because we’re currently having a conversation about it and the right and wrong of it is kind of obvious for the most part.
Public opinion overrules law if the public really cares. If it doesn’t, it’s not a democracy.
The public doesn’t care to right this wrong. You don’t care.
Just get them on a friends and family plan on IKmsngr.tx it’s much cheaper than any phone plan and you can get an extension for calls including video calls as well.
The website has the app, you need to sideload it but it’s very easy. The voice and video extension is on github, linked in the IK Msngr FAQ.
We. Do. Not. Reapect. Their. Wishes.
Period.
I used the word conflict and you latched onto it. The one you should have paid intention to was the word “supercede”.
Your second statement is in conflict with your first. No, we don’t respect their suffering or their wishes. We have other priorities that completely supercede them.
What we do is pay lip service while completely overruling them in practice.
lemmy.ca is alright.
And I’m not saying the other instances shouldn’t be like they are with their weird, esoteric names. But I am saying they’re generally a poor introduction.
Personally, after having spent some time on lemmy, while I like lemm.ee I feel like I could be fine to move to mander.xyz or sh.itjust.works. If I was on lemmy.world and not lemm.ee, I might’ve done it. But I’d have to start fresh, I wouldn’t be able to move my user there. And personally, I get kind of attached to my account. I don’t really like making a new one and leaving the old one. I wouldn’t like to keep logging into two different accounts, either.
I feel like if it were feasible, it could potentially be very good to allow users to just press a “Move user to another instance” button. Might be a terrible idea, but hear me out.
The function being, I guess, to either fully move its data to another instance with their full history. Or alternatively, to effectively just remake the account with the same login besides instance, and keeping access to their user’s “legacy” history accessible from the old instance within the profile. Maybe with legacy history as a separate thing if necessary, ideally it would be displayed in the same list as native history but with a marker or something. Either solution sounds potentially messy, but maybe it could be done elegantly. I would guess the latter with the new account linking to the old account would be better, not messing with where the old comments and posts and messages and votes are stored. Maybe it could effectively be generated as just a simple separate text file to refer to, to link to the legacy part of the profile’s history from the other instance. Not sure about any of that. Maybe it would make sense to just allow one move per year.
Either way, if this could work well, it could make many users much more willing to switch to one of the smaller instances after initially joining lemmy.world. Especially if lemmy.world does something many users don’t like.
I know I’d personally prefer this kind of solution if lemm.ee were to turn into an extremist trekkie instance that started mandating “Live long and prosper, to all except Lucasfilms.” at the end of every post and top level comment. I’d want to bring my profile and history and block lists and whatever over.
