Seems like if a theory doesn't allow for obvious-to-everyone complexity, then it's a pretty useless theory.

Does this have anything to do with the fediverse? If not, perhaps post it in a local community? [email protected] perhaps, or [email protected]

The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

The mastodon is not a platform though, it's a protocol/standard and the software to run it. Individual mastodon services/platforms will come and go. I think if they become too much of a product (and enshittify), then people will leave, because they can without much pain.

Still useful to post though, it's a decent simple over view that can be shared elsewhere

Twitter is the first time a global social media giant has seen a major exodus (I guess the second if you count MySpace, but the reasons were pretty different). The sample size is very low.. It's easy to forget how new all of this is.

Why are you on Lemmy? Or, why do you think the decentralised model works here, but not on mastodon?

Or is it only working because there is no third party VC-backed reddit clone?

I don't think anyone is claiming technical superiority. And certainly not financial superiority.

But maybe some kind of resilience to the forces of destruction plaguing commercial social media.

Is "nothing of value" the same as "no longer having any influence" though?

Hah, I used kdenlive in like 2008 to make a 3 minute clip out of a bunch of pre existing material. It was buggy as hell, and crashed every 5-10 operations. But I just saved a lot and got it done. Glad to see it's still going (and presumably a lot more stable!)

99.7% of general questions about statistics have this same joke at least once in the replies

"Suggest a community" community? (lemmy.world)
 

I often come across ideas for new communities (sometimes I even have them myself), but I'm not always sure whether they would get traction.

How about a "suggest a community" community, where people can post suggestions, and get feedback on the idea, maybe tweak it a bit to be more useful, and also look for co-moderators?

It could act in parallel to [email protected]

Anyone have any ideas for how this could work better? Anyone want to co-moderate one?

What's the point of /c/economics? (lemmy.world)
 

A few observations about this community:

  • Most posts are economics-related news posts
  • not many (recent) posts about actual economics (though I haven't read many of the news posts, I'm guessing most don't go into much depth on the economic implications)
  • No description in the sidebar
  • No mods

I'd be pretty keen on a more theoretical economics community. Would it make sense to have a separate economic_theory community? Or would it be better to make a separate economic_news community?

Does anyone want to mod this community? Perhaps @[email protected] or @[email protected] , since you two post a lot?

Why didn't this deletion appear in the modlog? (lemmy.world)

This post was deleted from [email protected] in the last few hours: https://lemmy.world/post/26997415

I can tell, because I have this in my inbox:

(the *Permanently Deleted* bit still has the link to the URL).

The post title was "what's your favourite book" or something similar.

But there's nothing in the modlog that shows this. How come?

Easiest vim plugin management? (lemmy.world)
 

I would like to manage plugins in the lowest-touch way possible, and ideally one that's easy to migrate to other machines.

I like the idea of the internal plugin manager, but that generally means that I need to manually all the git repos on all machines. It also makes tracking plugins that I'm testing a bit annoying.

The alternative seems to be vundle or vim-plug, which do the git management, but don't use the internal plugin system.

Are there other options? What's the easiest these days?

Is it possible to be comfortable with two desktop OSs (e.g. shortcuts, mouse) (lemmy.world)
 

I've been a linux user for 20 years (mostly on KDE). I just started at a new job, and they gave me a mac. I found out later that I could have got a linux machine instead, which is a bit annoying. Still, I know there are some nice things about a mac, and I figured I'd give it a try for a while.

I'm pretty quick moving around my desktop environment, and I'm finding picking up the mac is not too bad. BUT I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, and they are all every different on a mac. So whenever I switch back and forth between my work machine, I end up stumbling a bunch and wasting my time, and getting annoyed. It's mostly keyboard shortcuts, but the trackpad buttons and scrolling are annoying too.

So, question is: is it possible to regularly use two OSs with wildly different control surfaces, and be comfortable with it? e.g. either MacOS + Linux, or I guess MacOS + Windows? Or will it be annoying forever?

When reading (or listening), what kind of imagery hits you the hardest? (lemmy.world)
 

When you're reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact?

Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight).

"Kind" can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.
