Thing about rock bottom is you think you’ve hit it but then you find that you have a magical pickaxe that can dig past rock bottom

Can confirm. Would probably be maining windows if the workspaces actually… functioned…

This is something that I feel like Brave New World got a lot more right. In that book, people’s pleasures are their prisons.

I don’t really have a direct reply to these ideas but I would like to point out an interesting example of a business model that addresses some of these concerns, that is the worker cooperative, where the workers have some portion of ownership of the company, either in revenue sharing or decision making.

Bro this is useless gatekeeping.

I agree. The way I worded my comment was very intentional to not bash conservatism. I don’t consider myself one but I thought OP’s question was pretty respectful and I do find it unfortunate that he doesn’t have a community on here that isn’t extremely radicalized.

Unfortunately most of the more “conservative” instances became highly toxic and so most other instances have defederated with them.

Yes

Damn, so I guess 1060 wouldn’t be part of this either

Depends on how old is “older”

The way it works is that there’s not one lemmy site, there’s many different sites, or “instances” that people can host on their own servers—lemmy.world and lemm.ee are two of these. The catch is that they are “federated”, meaning that a user in one instance can see, vote on, comment on, etc posts from another instance. That’s why you can be on lemmy.world and see posts from !memes@lemme.ml. So if lemmy.world goes down it’s as simply as typing in another instance to your address bar :^)

I feel like this is well described lmao

It had taken me so many years to break my reddit addiction, then my friend introduced me to lemmy, and it’s been downhill ever since 🥲

If you start small and finish something, then you can always expand it out. If you start big, you might never finish something substantive and end up giving up without a project to show for it

:0 is there a story here?

You can use either gdscript (think python) or C#. C# used to be a bit of a second class citizen but from what I see it’s nearly on par with gdscript for support, and it’s getting a lot of attention from the devs.

Edit: and yes there is a post processor

Thank you for the insight, and please do

… aaand it started working for no reason again. I guess it just measures whether you want it bad enough.

Wow thank you so much for the insights and advice. This is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to find but didn’t have the knowledge to know what to search. I’ll look into these!

I’ve called them a few times but it’s been hard since their hours aren’t very long and I have a busy job. But to be honest I wasn’t banking on support since I haven’t ever had good tech support experience. Hearing that you’ve had a good experience, though, I think I’ll get in touch with them, thanks.
