What's a philosophical (not overtly political) position that you hold? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] RomanRoy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I hate the state of our world as it is right now. It's been itching inside my head for quite some time alreadu. It probably is somewhat political, because it probably has something to do with capitalism, but I can't understand how a population that has never been so productive still has to work their ass off in order to simply eat and lay in a bed safely. The more I think about it, the less sense it makes and the more I hate how natural it is for seemingly everyone around me.

I'm not one of these people, despite also not being wealthy at all, I have a job, I don't get paid top dollar but I have a safe house, food on the table and I can do a little bit more with my money, and yes, that's it, EVERYTHING seems to revolve around money.

What was the most illegal thing your workplace has done? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

An everyday job in any 3rd world country

What surprised you most about your job? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] RomanRoy@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

How toxic corporate environment is.

I had only worked for small businesses before. Obviously they had a lot of problems and I don't miss a single thing. But now I'm in a huge IT company that outsourced part of its operation to the another huge IT company I'm actually in.

Both suck, but still I gotta learn to "play the game".

Lemmy devs approaching the reddit API deadline like in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

That's great to see. They are expecting a huge influx of users and are working towards having things prepared.

I anticipate a lot of client apps will be ready by then as well, in order to promote themselves and Lemmy/kbin.

EPUB reader (lemmy.world)
 

Can anyone recommend a good one?

I'd like one that can kinda "save" my progress not only locally. Maybe an app account or something that integrates with a cloud service?

I had an ancient one very early in my smartphone days, but as I lost/had my phone stolen I would lose all my progress and miss the pages of the books I was reading.

Is there any extension to prevent/deny cookies banners from websites? (lemmy.world)
 

Is there anything like that? Most of these banners are invasive and I generally decline all by default, besides necessary ones.

I have "I don't care about cookies" extension on desktop, although it doesn't really fix it most of the times. Also, some sites keep showing them if I navigate through it or refresh the page.

But for Android I couldn't manage to find any extension for it.

Is anyone aware of any?

How long until we have corporate instances in the Fediverse? (lemmy.world)
 

Not willing to give them ideas so fast.

That's something that popped in my head as soon as I started in here, not so long ago.

But there's nothing to prevent that, right? I mean, Meta could very well create a meta instance on Lemmy or Kbin or Mastodon or in all of them, bring a bunch of users, sprinkle in some ads because why not.

Sure, they could be defederated from more restrictive insfances. In the bigger picture, every other instance could boycott them, but they would surely federate among themselves (Elon meets Mark, ugh). They also have all the computational power and would have no problem being the largest instances in the Fediverse.

Then what? Is that feasible? Probable? My utopian future about a free, descentralized Fediverse is a lie?

TIL you can set Jerboa as default for opening links to your instances, so you don't leave the app (lemmy.world)
 

On Android: App settings > Jerboa > Set as default > Supported web addresses > check whatever you like

I checked my instance's only, so whenever I click some link to a community in Jerboa it I will go directly to the community, instead of it opening in the browser.

Don't think it will work very well with other instances, right now tho. At least not until link redirection is launched.

Everybody is pointing at things that Lemmy is worse than Reddit. What in Lemmy is BETTER than Reddit? (lemmy.world)
 

Ignore 'smaller userbase' if you prefer it that way. We're talking about it as a platform, in its UI, functionalities, etc.

I go first: You can post images in the text body with a simple Ctrl+V. No need to upload it somewhere or even save to your device.

So, in your opinion, in what Lemmy is better than Reddit already?
