Yes I’d say so. I get where you’re coming from but I don’t think it’s an excuse not to make decisions. Quite the opposite in fact.

I think of it like this: if you think you’re smart, you expect to make best choice for every decision. So in tough situations, where there is no “right” choice, you beat yourself up about not doing better. If you accept you’re stupid, you’re willing to settle for the least wrong and accept failiure.

The same goes for interacting with others. Don’t expect others to make the best choice, as they’re stupid too, so you might find a better solution. But if you did not find one and they didn’t, well, they’re stupid, so of course they did not. Can’t blame them really.

I’m no native speaker so perhaps stupid and smart are the wrong words in this context. Perhaps fallible and infallible are better suited.

Only if they think they aren’t stupid themselves. I think everybody, including me, in past and present (and most likely in the future) is stupid.

I mean we’ve got more or less the same brain people in the stone ages had and are trying to solve problems in the microcomputing age. Of course we’re going to make mistakes and most ideas we have about the universe or society are probably wrong. And of course we’ll repeat the mistakes of our ancestors.

So I don’t think thinking of someone as stupid is bad, just assuming you’re less stupid is.

Sorry I get equally worked up over the assumption that people aren’t stupid.

Putin forces 90% of online anonymity to murder the remaining 10%.

I just did some more research and aparently my intel was a bit outdatet (from arount 2020). The guide should still work, though booting from SSD should be working by default and does not require any eeprom-updates. So you can probably start with step 4.

Raspberry Pi4? Then yes, here’s a guide to update your bootloader:

https://www.raspberrystreet.com/learn/how-to-boot-raspberrypi-from-usb-ssd

For older models(Pi<4), no but kinda: Afaik oder models could only boot from SD-cards. But that only means the bootloader has to be on the SD-card. So you can copy everything but the bootpartition and change the entry in the /etc/fstab to the new root on the SSD.

But it influences the community itself, doesn’t it? If you have a bunch of parrots saying what they think others want to hear suddenly you have a lot less real interactions and way more “reddit moments”… I like how mastodon did it and maybe lemmy should also provide the option to hide likes/dislikes alltogether.

My stomach rumbled just reading the word lol

Look at his post history. He doesn’t want to shit for three days. Didn’t elaborate. Fucking legend.

Aren’t some dried fruit laxative? Ate a bag of dates once, and boy did I have to run to the shitter.

Tl,dr: Yes it is, but your ROM and recovery must be signed.

Those usernames are so unimaginative. Who would pick a name like that?

Oh yeah good point, I didn’t think about server side compression. But I think noise videos might still be worse, since they provide no additional content for the platform.

Oh you meant literal raccoons, sorry my tired ass was still thinking of them metaphorically :D I don’t know, beeing an animal and not having to work is cool and all, but I like my opposable thumbs.

Oh sorry on Jerboa it does not show Community descriptions and I did not see the rules. But I am kind of curious tho, does it need do be worded like that? I wrote you should know this, if you want to keep the costs down, doesn’t that count? :P

A fellow cs mayor I see, no I apreciate the thoroughness. You are right I was trying to put it in laymans terms and might have been a little to cursory.

I gotta disagree on the pseudo randomness tho. At least in linux /dev/random generates its entropy pool by using device drivers. So there is no simple algorithm behind it where you can copy a seed. So you would have to to copy the system state and all external events happening (eg. the ethernet network traffic) to generate the same output.

Then be the racoon. Drive up the cost. Upload hour-long videos of white noise or pictures of John Oliver beeing sexy. I think I am going to create a couple of throwaway accounts just to show how unprofitable reddit can be ;)

Qapla’!

Oh yeah, good idea! Before this strike I only heard of Mastodon. Didn’t like it because it was so twitter-esque. I wasn’t even aware that there are other federated networks which are similar to reddit… If all of my posts and comments said something like “user moved to lemmy.world” I’d spread the word that there are alternatives.
