Thanks for taking the time!

It really does sound like piefed is the better reddit-like fediverse experience.

I recently found out that archive services are hardcoded in a really weird way on Lemmy, which makes me a little skeptical.

Thanks for taking the time!

Could somebody explain to me how Piefed the software/protocol relates to Lemmy the software/protocol?

I have no idea, but I mean things like Mastodon and Lemmy not being 100% compatibel etc.

We do see a lot of piefed.social (and other instances I guess) posts. Do they “work” on Lemmy exactly as they do on PieFed and vice versa?

French is worse. I’ll never understand how a suffix like -eaux even exists, and essentially melts down to -oh.

And Danish is the absolute master of butchering words when speaking them. Every other Germanic language can read Danish, but none can understand them speaking. English is nothing against that. They have whole families of silent letters

en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hvad = what?

Alena is a given name.

This makes much more sense than I first thought.

Futurama is chock full of big and little jokes, many not spoken, and I often have to pause to read them.

Nixon’s head refering to his people as “fellow Earthicans” is always on point somehow. Also endorsing products during his speeches. And calling the flag “ol’ Freebie”.

Also, considering Futurama was most active in the 20-oughts, it’s often interesting to see how they satirize the very same issues the US are dealing with today.

I’m currently re-watching the whole shebang and sometimes I just have to take a screenshot. Unpolitical, therefore somewhat OT:

You mean you… no, it can’t be.

Thanks. Something like this (e.g. farside.link) should be automatic on all Lemmy servers.

I guess he thinks The Don, who kicked him out of the club, is the bad 1%?
Well, Muskrat being the world’s richest 12yo is nothing new.

I never understood why people would say JSON is superior, and why XML seemed to be getting rarer, but the author explains it:

XML was not abandoned because it was inadequate; it was abandoned because JavaScript won.

I’ve been using it ever since I started using Linux because my favorite window manager uses it, and because of a long-running pet project that is almost just as old: first I used XML tools to parse web pages, later I switched to dedicated data providers that offered both XML and JSON formats, and stuck to what I knew.

I’m guessing that another reason devs - especially web devs - prefer JSON over XML is that the latter uses more bytes to transport the same amount of raw data. One XML file will be somewhat larger than one JSON file with the same content. That advantage is of course dwarved by all the other media and helper scripts - nay, frameworks, devs use to develop websites.

BTW, XML is very readable with syntax highlighting and easily editable if your code editor has some very basic completion for it. And it has comments!

Yes. Arguably, HTML is a form of XML. Also, the ML means the same in both. XML tools can often also be used to query HTML documents.

Can’t really compare the two. I like both but for very different, almost opposite reasons.

Does this mean Terminal is installed but one can only use it when one is logged into the store?

Or maybe I don’t understand Windows logic; it’s been over a decade for me.

Oh, I see it now. Yeah, another 5 minutes wasted.

TikTok outrages should never become news headlines.

But it’s the Daily Fail, so 🤷

That said - as if he could tell what each one would taste like.

1. AFAIK it’s OK these days. But once you decide to stick with Linux you should go through the effort to re-format it.
2. Yes, but more because of data and media. Desktop and app settings could cause trouble if you just drop them in on a new install.
