So pond.

Britain is across the pond.

The pond is the Atlantic Ocean.

You’re in the Atlantic Ocean.

Idk about you but I’m racist against women.

The race of men shall prevail over all it’s foes, be they dwarven, elves, goblins or womenfolk.

Color the leather blue just because you refuse to use brown crayons.

It makes the boomers feel nice on the inside.

Especially the no sitting rule, they fucking love that one. It’s almost as good as the suppressed wages.

I’ll shorten it to wars.

That’s not a nap that’s sleeping.

And it’s probably either tomorrow, or not. But it’s definitely not yesterday, nor is it next week.

It’s probably full of beans. If you’re unlucky, maybe even rice.

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.

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?
