Yea, I’m not into it…

Perhaps if it explicitly showed my subscribed communities first, and had a clear separator for non-subscribed communities. But I would prefer an option to not see stuff from other communities at all

I’m thinking more about less clutter while reading

You can already do that in Lemmy and piefed - crossposts are listed at the top

Nah, because if if there’s a post that’s of interest to more than one community, and I’m only in one of those, then I probably don’t want to see comments from those other communities, because they will be related to topics/aspects that I’m not here for (otherwise I’d also be subscribed to those communities).

I think there is potentially a lot of value in having separate crossposts per community… E.g. if a link touches on multiple separate topics (say, cinematography and nature), then people visiting an cinematography community would probably prefer to see conversation related to their interest…

Agree that crossposts from similar communities (same name) across different servers should be merged though (although there probably should be a way for community mods to opt out of that…)

Maybe? But I’d say it’s probably also quite common. Parent-child relationships are pretty intense at the best of times, and no one is perfect. No idea what your situation is, but it’s worth remembering that parenting is hard sometimes, and it’s easy to fuck up.

I don’t think the focus should be on the average current Linux user. Guaranteed that if Linux gained substantial market share, the fraction of tinkerers would dwindle substantially

Caffeine is not particularly harmful at common doses…

Tbh I still get mostly motorhead

Oh yeah, I saw that a while back. Hilarious! Also kind of unusual (though lots of people have used smaller samples from toys and instruments)

All good, was just wondering.

I do DJ (non-professionally). I generally think there are two skills with DJing:

• Taste, library management and music choice, which is not a technical skill, but does take a bit of effort in preparing for a set
• Actual technical mixing skills, which many DJs (including me) barely have, but some take to a level that is on basically a form of musicianship.

I don’t think AI can really help you do either… but I guess it could make a mixed set and you could pretend to play it, like a Casio keyboard

Are you speaking from experience? 'Cause that’s not even vaguely related to how any of the DJs I know (including a couple of professionals) got started. The prime motive for most DJs is sharing cool music, and Casio keyboards don’t do that…

Vision is a strong word. I think it’s a vague idea in most cases

I don’t believe that’s true… It currently has around 9k servers, but I think the vast majority of those will have less than 10 users.

Anyway, there’s currently about 1m active users, so the real question is will it scale by 3 orders of magnitude? And my point being that I’d expect the network to become more connected as it scales (at least for the main archipelago, which is probably always going to house a majority of users).

Is that really true though? Say we end up with 10k servers with 100-1000 users each, even if only 10% of those users have a connection to a server that no one rose on their server is connected to, that’s still a highly connected network.

Then add boosts from other servers (that incentivise cross-network follows)…

I like this take, but I wonder if there’s eventually a combinatoric problem with having hundreds of thousands of small instances, each with thousands of connection to other instances? I have no idea how that relates to the network/computational constraints…

Decent Earning Options? In this economy?

It’s people captured by capitalist cultural norms (including things like the protestant work ethic).

Of which many are boomers, but not all. And there are some boomers who escaped it.
