I think people should stop posting news articles unless they have something to say. in c/[email protected]

If the community is purely about news, sure. Most aren't though, and I think in that case, the poster should always be the first ones to strike discussion.

would kill the community

I'm of the opposite belief. I think some communities stay dead bc there's just one person constantly posting articles with zero input. I avoid these "zombie" communities. Regular dead communities are more enticing to post in for me.

start one, and unsubscribe from the communities you don't like.

This would create even more fracturing, which is already a big problem here.

Basically all articles end up commented on anyways.

No. Small communities do not get this feature, and it is my belief that they stay small because (a) no one is willing to make the first comment and (b) the feed is just full of new dead posts, or "zombie" posts.

At least that's in my case. I get this urked feeling and leave the community whenever the feed feels "zombie". Not the case when it's just dead.

but I want the community to not die.

I understand this, but

I don't have anything meaningful to say

Could this not be true for everyone else? Someone needs to start the discussion. Otherwise it will just stay dead. Imo it's better to either leave it or come up with at least something.

Well, you can just not follow the communities you don't like, and let them be.

I'd have to leave basically all of them, lol. I'm arguing against standard practice.

I think people should stop posting news articles unless they have something to say. (programming.dev)
 

There are some communities where the vast majority of posts are by on or two users reposting news articles.

Sometimes they'll summarize below, but they will almost never share their opinions on the article, or even just ask what others may think about in regards to this aspect or that aspect. So the entire feed is just URLs.

I would feel more engaged to comment on those posts, or even start a post in the community, when it doesn't feel like a bunch of robots reposting the daily slop.

Thoughts on Cryptocurrency? in c/[email protected]

Most just see it as a get rich quick scheme.

It sucks, I don't see how it could ever get past this.

I thought Monero solves this issue, with a level of effort large enough that it's almost impossible to crack.

Communities similar to Satanic Temple? (programming.dev)
 

Super broad question, but I want to ask if there are other communities similar in one aspect or another to the Satanic Temple?

Thoughts on Cryptocurrency? (programming.dev)
 

I was wondering what viewpoints and opinions this community has when it comes to cryptocurrency.

Personally, I'm not against it, but I'm not for it either. I like the concept of bringing back cash anonymity, and also decentralization (obviously). Although I don't think it will be viable for at least another decade.

Study: Dark matter does not exist and the universe is 27 billion years old in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

“Contrary to standard cosmological theories where the accelerated expansion of the universe is attributed to dark energy, our findings indicate that this expansion is due to the weakening forces of nature, not dark energy,” he continued.

So both dark matter and dark energy don't exist?

Is there an app that could send me a notification every 30 minutes? in c/[email protected]

Any app that you can setup Macros with. I use Macrodroid on Playstore.

These are just some random threads I saved. As others have pointed out, niche communities are (usually) the least toxic. Applies to any site or chatroom.

Make any Distro Immutable (github.com)
 

It is by design non-invasive and should work on any distro which meets the requirements; Btrfs root and systemd-boot bootloader. With non-invasive I mean; it doesn't mess with your normal OS and its configuration, it can be rolled out, toyed around with and just as easily be removed again.

Taken from reddit:

I think this is the best approach to immutability. I don't want heavy abstraction and I don't want containers.

A system I can deploy anytime and rollback on is all I needed.

When I have time, I will include this in my setup.

bcachefs? (programming.dev)
 

I was wondering if anyone here has attempted the new "COW filesystem for Linux that won't eat your data".

It's supposedly has been stable since the start of 2023. I'm willing to give it a try on Arch, but before I do, I'd like to hear if anyone has faced any issues with it.

Thoughts on Post-Open Source? (www.theregister.com)
 

TLDR: Companies should be required to pay developers for any open source software they use.

He imagines a simple yearly compliance process that gets companies all the rights they need to use Post-Open software. And they'd fund developers who would be encouraged to write software that's usable by the common person, as opposed to technical experts.

It's an interesting concept, but I don't really see any feasible means to get this to kick off.

What are your thoughts on it?

Any Interesting (Not Disturbing) Podcasts? (programming.dev)
 

I used to listen to long form essays on Youtube. My favourite ones either break down the history of a conspiracy, teach me something new and cool about the world, or explore a hobby I've never been interested in.

I don't like the ones about killers or heavy drama. I also don't like podcasts that spend half the time reading the latest news from [topic] in verbatim .

What are some podcasts you can recommend me while I chip away at other things?

Dear Lemmy, why Star Trek?? (programming.dev)
 

Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek.

Not only that, these communities are some of the most active I've ever seen. There is no other franchise I know of that dominates the federation as much as Star Trek does.

So, what's the correlation with Lemmy and Star Trek? Why not other sci-fi series? Please, are there any connections?? Is this all coincidental?
