PostgreSQL is the more feature rich, but if you don’t care about all those features like saving and searching in json structures, Geo data structures and a to of other stuff because you have a simple APO then MySQL is good enough, maybe even SQLite.

Billionaires should not exist.

I went the other way around, I was a central heating engineer and plumber in my youth and even if I liked the work a lot I hated the winters, it’s so cold in a building without heating. So I switched to factory work, the payment was better and it was always a comfortable temperature, but it was so extramly boring. And I just couldn’t do it and resigned after 3 years.

So I switched careers again, went to school and eventually to university at 30 years old and then gör a job in a small startup working a lot with open source and the colleagues were all very smart and nice. The startup got bought up by a big company and it got a bit worse, but more stable when it comes to projects. After 10 years I still work at this company even though I moved to a different continent, etc.

I have been working from home since covid and people trust me to do my job so they don’t bother me, it’s very nice.

This was me directly translating from German I think :D

Does that mean also no musk-mobiles in China?

Just for my understanding, wasn’t OpenAI not also a nonprofit and is now a forprofit and the CEO is at least as bad as Zuckerberg?
I understand it will make it a little bit harder, but nothing prevents Mastodon to go the OpenAI way or is the situation different in some way?

In Japan they normally have a lot more of that sauce, but in my opinion it’s way too much. Yours looks like a more reasonable amount of sauce.

Sorry the instance of peertube was just offline because I’ve been doing some cleaning on the server, now it’s online again.

He got so much more out of Twitter than we could have imagined, he lit the USA on fire with it, that’s worth much more than the couple of billion lost. I think TikTok is even more powerful than Twitter.

It’s a match made in heaven, win, win, win for every autocrat involved.

You’re probably not in the boomer generation:

They have this ‘I hate my wife’ trope in their humor for some reason.

I feel so many times that instead of having a meeting I could just write a email with a link to the documentation I wrote for the purpose of everyone in the project following it. People could read it when they have time and ask questions via email and I would answer them asynchronously and everyone would be up to speed.

In reality when I do that the email gets ignored by 95℅ of the people who should know about it and that leads to many problems because we can’t align on how to run the project. And I get it I also get so many email and it’s not always clear if they are important for me or not and I have so many things to do so I’m happy to ignore the not so important things.

A meeting, as bad as it is, forces you to take one hour out of your schedule and spent it in this specific topic. On top of it when we go through the documentation together it’s easy to understand what parts of it are more important and which less, etc.

And because there are many people in my situation in the project each of them needs to create a meeting just to be able to cut through the loud voices in the email and deliver their message so that I end up with more than 50℅ of my day in meetings.

I also worked 4 days a week with 80℅ payment for some years it was amazing.

I mostly went with my gut feeling and listened to the doctor, only when specific things came up I tried to google it, but I feel there was nothing special or unexpected.

We have been having babies through sexual reproduction for many miliona of years, it’s in our DNA, basically it’s an instinct. At least as long as long as there are no complications.

No worries, they’re just slower at changing but it will come, I promise you.

No, nothing like that is available here. You can put something in the title like [flair] if you want.

I agree with your sentiment that it’s very bad that you can’t even move communities to a new server if the admin wants it, not to talk about if they didn’t want to.

I really like how matrix implemented it, you can start a public room, other people can make aliases, if your server is gone everything is still accessible through the aliases.

I would propose for you to disable down votes. I’m not sure it’s possible on a individual user level with she software you use but it’s possible on a server level, so worst case scenario find a server where down votes are disabled.

I think adoption is wonderful. I didn’t technically adopt any children but I am a stepdad which is quite close to it. But I think it’s important to understand that children who are adopted have their own traumas, even if they’re adopted very early in life.

I have two friends, one is adopted from South Korea to Sweden and another has been in Foster homes his whole life, and I invited them to talk about the topic on my podcast some time ago, it’s quite an emotional episode, I think it would be interesting for you to hear it from their point of view: https://jeena.net/pods/5

1. Yes I noticed this too
2. It already is, which is a shame
3. Yes it’s a problem because even if you try to get a balanced amount of all the views in your Lemmy subscriptions it’s not possible, at the same time bubbles radicalize people.
4. Let discussions happen, don’t delete and ban because you’re against the view (as long as it’s not continuously spamming)
5. Benefit: You see people as humans even if they are wrong, Drawback: you need to sometimes change your mind in face of new evidence showing up, which it wouldn’t if you stay in your bubble.

The thing which I really dislike with a bubble is that people inside of it get more and more radical and ban even their allies because they’re not radical enough.
