  • I wouldn’t say that. It varies from subreddit to subreddit, community to community, instance to instance. And sometimes they are just staying within goals for the given space, regardless of whether it is Reddit or Lemmy. Your personal experience will often vary with how aligned you are with the viewpoints of mods, if they engage in heavy viewpoint discrimination.








  • Just take the dive into fish. It used to have a lot of problems with incompatibilities, but that’s been less of a problem lately.

    I haven’t found nushell to be that great as a day-to-day shell simply because it integrates poorly with other Linux commands. But when it comes to data manipulation, it is simply amazing. I’m currently (slowly) working on a plugin to query LDAP. The ldapsearch command uses the LDIF format, which is hard to parse reliably. Producing nushell data structures that don’t need fragile parsing would be a boon.











  • I wasn’t able to get a good read on it either. I didn’t spot anything obviously wrong from a technical standpoint, but I’m not a systems developer. It just doesn’t have much that distinguishes it on a non-technical level. The design is neat, but other OS projects like Redox have shot past it in a shorter period of time. That tells me something’s broken, whether it’s technical or social.



  • In my previous job, I was asked to break focus every 15 minutes to check my email and see if one of my coworkers was falling behind on dealing with a queue of tasks, then pitch in if he was. I hated the job in general, but that in particular just ruined any possibility of productivity. Hard for anyone, near impossible for someone with ADHD. Then I got blamed for falling behind on my work. And for being disorganized (we didn’t have a ticket tracker, hmmm).
