• What's the simplest, cheapest way to have a platform where I can post anything I want without being banned?

  I’ve been banned from reddit and lemmy for posting ai generated content with a bot. I want to have a platform where I can send all the automated ai generated content I want, and do self promotion. What’s the simplest, cheapest way to have a platform like that?

• Thinking of leaving Manjaro after the AUR supply chain attack – Distrochooser recommends SUSE, what's your take?

  With the recent AUR supply-chain attack that compromised over 400 (and possibly up to 1,500) packages, I’m seriously considering switching distros. Attackers took over orphaned packages and modified PKGBUILDs to pull in malicious npm dependencies like atomic-lockfile, which deployed credential-stealing malware and even eBPF rootkits. The fact that the trusted packages themselves didn’t look malicious makes this especially concerning. Like many Arch users, I’ll admit I don’t carefully read ever...

• Why does this headline feel so hypocritical to me?

  The headline: “South Korea criticizes Israel and compares its actions to Japanese sexual slavery.” Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but isn’t there a layer of irony here? Both South Korea and Japan struggle with high suicide rates, brutal work cultures, soaring living costs, and systemic pressures that push people to the edge. And in that context, sexual labor often becomes just another form of exploitation, not always consensual, often economic survival. So when South Korea uses the trau...

• How do you setup swap when installing Linux if the system has SSD?

  No swap, swap or swap with hibernate? And do you change the swappiness setting?

  All those links give 404 errors, are you trolling?

• How can I use a local agentic LLM on Linux to debug code similar to Anthropic use of Claude to find vulnerabilities in Firefox?

• What’s the one killer feature of Lemmy / PieFed / Mbin?

  We all have that one feature, the thing that makes you never want to go back to Reddit. Curious to hear what yours is.

• How do you follow the Iran conflict? Any summaries you'd recommend?

• Post #382909

  It feels like the deeper you dig into how things really work, the more depressing it gets. Curious what examples people have.

  I’ve been thinking about how a lot of science fiction portrays futures that feel far more optimistic than the world we actually seem to be heading toward. In real life we’re dealing with many simultaneous, compounding crises: AI being deployed in ways that cannibalize society under capitalism, an ever increasing cost of living with fixed wages, declining birth rates (people replacing children with pets/mascots), pollution, mass extinction of biodiversity, climate change, etc. It feels less lik...

  Now there’s NodeBB. Although it doesn’t yet have an Android app, I’m excited about the potential return of old-school forum software that it represents.

  I haven’t voted in years after reading the argument that voting mainly serves to slot you into a cohort, making it easier for governments and corporations to profile you. Recently I heard someone argue the opposite angle: don’t vote because none of the politicians deserve you. A comedian mocked that stance as basically holding your breath when you are angry. Now I’m conflicted because both arguments feel compelling in different ways. What are your strongest arguments for voting, or against vot...

  I believe I heard something about Maria Teresa not treating his patients and telling them pain were caresses from the lord or something like that and moving donations to private accounts.

  Dumb argument. That’s just your opinion. You can’t know what people would or wouldn’t buy.

  I think even a bad translation is better than no translation at all, but for some reason the majority of books don’t seem to get translated. Why is that?

  You know that feeling when something gets said so many times that people just start treating it as fact, no matter how shaky it was in the first place? Like, Santa didn’t make the cut, but God sure did. And remember right after 9/11, before they got the memo, how TV channels kept saying first responders had heard a bomb in the base of the building and later they all started saying it collapsed due to structural damage from the plane impact, and it just got accepted with no one bothering to que...

  I keep seeing data showing that a huge share of people around 30 can’t afford their own home anymore, not just in the US, but in parts of the EU as well. It seems like homeownership at that age used to be normal, or at least achievable, but now it feels almost out of reach for an entire generation. If people can’t afford a home, how are they supposed to start a family? And without stable conditions for forming households, what does that mean for birth rates, future labor force size, and long-t...
