I use the same and for the same reason of wanting it to be tailless.
I do a little bit of everything. Programming, computer systems hardware, networking, writing, traditional art, digital art (not AI), music production, whittling, 3d modeling and printing, cooking and baking, camping and hiking, knitting and sewing, and target shooting. There is probably more.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's preventing y'all from moderating a community?English
2·2 months agoFor big ones it is a time commitment thing, but for small ones I have tried to do my part.
I have found I generally have the time to act as a caretaker for some small communities, and there are more than a couple communities out there which have lone creator accounts that have been deleted and are essentially unmoderated (outside of instance admins).
I found a couple of these, !canada@lemmy.ml and !firefox@lemmy.ml, and decided I could help watch them as a result.
If they are fairly small I would definitely recommend it to anyone else - for me, by far and large, I find that the users who engage with these communities are really very respectful and create good conversation about the topics, which makes my role very simple most of the time.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what users do you recognize a lot and whyEnglish
2·2 months agoMostly instance admins, but also some users such as @case_when@lemmy.world and @okokimup@lemmy.world due to their really good art on !artshare@lemmy.world.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I used wget on Ubuntu to clone pages from piefed to build Zyke, a Reddit alternativeEnglish
10·3 months agoThanks for calling yourself out so that I know I should never ever go there.
Grow some ethical backbone.
Its pretty modular for workflow and layout in the contemporary. Would recommend checking out the trial version to see if it looks alright to you now, or otherwise just watching through some videos.
I’m not sure actually, though it would make sense.
Nothing for me. All the games I care about run great, I’m much happier with my UX/UI using KDE Plasma, I’m very happy being able to use a bash shell in a terminal emulator of my choice, etc.
Look into Bitwig if you haven’t, it is kind of ableton-like in that you can pretty much automate anything with anything else - fully cross platform as well.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Bcachefs creator claims his custom LLM is 'fully conscious'English
19·5 months agoBig time, guy very likely has had a god complex his entire life but it’s probably also being driven by the LLM echoing back to him that “you made me and im AGI and therefore you are the greatest engineer of all time”.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•how would you deal with a relative yelling to you you killed his father just because you're the last nurse who treated him?English
3·5 months agoLike others said, you did fine. Make yourself safe, report it, call security if required, but also understand that when people are under extreme duress such as the death of a loved one, they want to blame anyone and anything.
People have a really hard time coping with the fact that people often die without reason, unceremoniously, to such a degree that they feel they have been wronged by something or someone, even if there isn’t anything to blame.
When this happens they may pick something they perceive as being in proximity to the event to blame to try to make sense of it. It might be disease, the equipment, the medication, a family member, or in this case yourself.
You deal with this by knowing the facts of what happened, and knowing you did your best and aren’t to blame, and by understanding that people lash out when they are upset.
Nothing you could have said would have helped the situation with this person in their state, so saying nothing and leaving to de-escalate the situation is 100% the best thing you could have done.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Upstairs neighbor deadlifting in his apartmentEnglish
4·6 months ago1 - Ask them if they can either not drop the weights, or if the time this occurs can be adjusted to make it less of a problem. Document that you asked them somehow including date, time, what was said in the request, and how the request was sent.
2 - If nothing can be fixed through step 1 review your condo rules and verify if they are breaching them by doing what they are doing, see what fines are like for each breach of whatever rules is covered by this. If there are no rules for this, you are basically screwed and should either lobby your condo board/property manager for a change in rules or move.
3 - Set up a camera/mic and have your phone handy. Record the noise when it happens noting the date and time.
4 - Submit a complaint to the condo board/property manager every time this happens including the date and time and the recorded evidence, citing which rules are being broken. Be prepared when you start doing this that your neighbor might try to retaliate. If they retaliate by making the noise worse, do the same thing recording it and sending it up the line. If you play music really loud or whatever, they may also try to retaliate by submitting complaints about you - try to not let them catch you out on that.
Eventually, if your property management/condo rules are set up in a reasonable way they would either stop, get evicted by their landlord who is now receiving fines, or be evicted by proxy because the fines are too numerous and expensive. Repeatedly making complaints to your board/property manager usually gets them involved pretty quickly because it creates a constant nuisance they can’t easily ignore.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is anyone planning on forking Plasma to restore X11 support when it is dropped?English
3·6 months agoI feel similarly especially about remmina, though as I understand it this is not necessarily the fault of Wayland but of the various applications and drivers not offering or having been developed to support wayland yet (I’m quite sure this is the case of Remmina anyway).
It’s too bad because on Debian 13 here wayland actually speeds up the general interface for me - if it weren’t for these shortcomings in-app then I would be running it for sure.
I would hope plasma’s decision pushes the application developers to catch up a bit.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•I just halted a job interview process - due to self respect.English
270·6 months agoI’m a professional. I expect to be treated like one. If there are companies who are serious about hiring a professional, I’m all in. Please engage me.
That’s really well said.
I remember being in the same situation a couple years ago in which I was accepted to an interview through a video chat web application hosted by the company.
To my horror, when I joined the meeting, it was not a video chat interview. It was a series of recorded clips of their HR person reading off questions, the clips pausing, and then a timer showing up on the screen noting “You have 15 seconds to answer”.
I was so put off by this that after the first question, I decided to spend the rest of the time I was being recorded explaining to them under no uncertainties that this was one of the most unprofessional interview processes I had ever engaged in, and that they had made it clear that they did not value my time whatsoever, so I had no reason to reciprocate.

I’m not interested in entrusting my data/software/device to your faith in some models instead of the wisdom of a human being.
This is why I would not use it.
