  • Hateful is always a weird word imo because it describes that the Internet is full of hate, and I’m sure there’s lots of it. However, the Internet is vast and you will find too much of everything everywhere. So theres platforms with abnormal amounts of positivity and hate, but there’s also platforms for weird niches, platforms for scientific discourse and everything.

    So generally I would say no to both. Lemmy tends to skew a bit towards Europe and towards elitist but that’s a very light skew and I’m still trying to assess tropes you find lots of on here. Well except for reddit hate. But that’s historical.



  • Did both. Setting up your own VPN is a bit annoying but when it works it works. Tailscale is really easy and solid. For folder syncing I can recommend using tailscale and syncthing. Install both on both devices, then connect the devices in sync thing (it will reciprocate) and then you can add a folder and share it with the other device. Latency for syncing can be 10s-3min, plus the actual file transfer speed.

    Knowledge level: configuring software and setting up software. Maybe some basic network troubleshooting if it comes up.

    It’s never gonna be as easy as paying for a service that does it for you but this setup is also not that hard.

    If you have questions feel free to ask me or other nerds on here, I’m sure they can help you ^^~






  • I’ll take the low hanging fruit and discuss whether this is in line with the community rules:

    You are violating rules 1, 2, 5 and arguably 10.

    1 & 2 need to no further argument; they are syntactical in nature.

    Rule 5: Is about not posting something to further an agenda or spurr debates. Your post is more argument than fact and description. I think that’s pretty self-explanatory.

    Rule 10: the fact outlined is not true, and we don’t need to have a religious discussion about that; we can merely look at this in isolation. Whether Jesus is real or not can’t be proven because we project something personally onto him. If you believe in Jesus, that’s fine, but this hasn’t passed the scientific threshold of being a fact.



  • I am not a feminist.

    Feminism has a variety of different flavors with sets of specific ideals that are not a priority in my view, however the basic idea of equal rights is definitely important to me. The more I think about it, the less I feel I know what I’m talking about which is also why I don’t wanna signify I have strong foundational knowledge on this topic. “Equality” is kind of baseline and not what you expect most kinds of feminism to expand to.


  • I like Linus Torvalds. Yes, sometimes he can be cruel, but that’s because he cares a lot about his projects, and managing open source software means you have to be blunt sometimes.

    So you are posting in the technology community that you don’t like Linus Torvalds. This is the wrong community and you are being a real asshole. I’m here for interesting articles and not personal beef. Please keep this to yourself or to a community that allows such posts.






  • Just tried out Kodi on Android but I’m sorry, the app sucks. No native addon browsing, the keyboard is custom but incredibly small on my phone, navigation is weird, there’s no back button and my main buttons on the phone get hidden so I always have to manually show them again. The design is unappealing and for some reason it really wants access to my devices microphone.

    Literally the worst one I’ve tried and I didn’t even get to the video player, which everyone says stops working every once in a while.
