1 month agoYeah it was pretty easy for me to switch to IRC because I have never liked audio/video chat stuff. I tried that once or twice with a very small group, I think I said 10 words all in all. I’m not a talker lol

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
My discord group had discussions about stopping discord use for weeks. I kept saying “if no one comes up with a better idea, I’ll go back to IRC.” The discussion didn’t move anywhere, I told them that by the end of February, I’ll go to IRC and delete my account. End of February came, I said “alright, IRC installed, I’ll be at X network, I made a channel called Y, see you there.” Then I deleted my account.
Three people followed me but they also stayed in discord. They tell me that everyone over there is surprised that I did what I told them for weeks that I would do lol.
But anyway, I’ve experienced this before. I left facebook in 2011, I lost contact with about 80% of the people I knew, because apparently calling, Whatsapp/SMS is not good enough. Then I left Whatsapp for Signal. I have 2 contacts there…
I’ve come to the conclusion that most people just don’t care about privacy and big corporations controlling shit. I wont be a part of that silly bollocks.
I maybe too tired to read this thread with all the people implying things and not saying anything straight… I’m very confused, can you maybe let me in on the big secret? Who did what? Lemmy creator/admin? I have no idea what is everyone talking about lol

Ohh, right. I didn’t read the OP very well and assumed they’d be growing weed. I thought it was rather small for that but growing salads does make more sense.
I’ve found a bunch by accident when browsing online auctions, second hand etc websites
What do you expect, its a Politico article lol
That and the fact that we have infinite stubbornness.
And thats why I keep accounts separate. I don’t link anything to anything, I have different usernames on different services and whatnot. Even if someone somehow figures out my (now deleted) Discord and reddit usernames and starts spamming them to someone, I can just say “well thats not me lol” In that hypothetical scenario, I’d hope they people I spent time chatting with, would believe me and not the weirdo who started spamming someones reddit history.
But also, I don’t care. I try to be myself all the time, so at worst, the creeps will just be spamming stuff that I normally do/say.

I thought he’s been rather clear on this? Has he started to waver?

Haha did you see this alread: https://lemmy.world/post/44238448
I was on Ubuntu for like 3 years, a few days ago switched to Debian. I installed Ubuntu because I thought it would “easy” and “just works” and all that. I’m not very computery person, I know some basics but I’m mostly confused about everything.
What I’ve learned from using Debian is I should have just gone for that from the beginning. Its not that different and somehow it feels nicer and more capable. If your Ubuntu keeps giving you grief, try Debian or whatever you think looks nice.
In what way, specifically, are Chinese EV trucks better than European ones?
Yeah, I’ll admit it was a one sided take, I’m a truck driver so I look at it from a drivers point of view. If I have to sit in a cab for 9-11 hours per day and then sleep in it, I’ll always choose a Euro model.
And the fact is, Chinese products will always be cheaper than European ones, manufacturing costs are wildly different between the places. Euro EV trucks have excellent tech in them, maybe the actual manufacturing pace is lagging behind thats true. But even if we had switched to making only EV trucks, the price difference would still be there.
Rather ignorant take to be honest.
This is not about innovation. Its about price. European trucks are so much better with driver comfort and driver aids than anything I’ve seen. I go to 2-3 truck shows per year and all the non-EU stuff is still a bit “nasty” at best and horrible at worst in quality and comfort.
The problem is, China doesn’t have the same workers protection and benefits to deal with as EU companies. EU makes better products but at a higher price. I hope we don’t go to the American way of big trucking companies not giving a shit about the comfort and welfare of their drivers. Maybe the EU needs to take some action and subsidize EU made truck purchases or something, I don’t know. The attraction of saving tens of thousands of €'s on a single truck purchase is probably very tempting to the trucking companies, even if the real cost is drivers being miserable.
If you want a mindfuck, check out what the Holy Roman Empire consisted of lol. Germany and central Europe used to be full of tiny kingdoms, principalities and whatnot.
Yup. I don’t need 20 people to talk to. A few is enough. And I found a nice IRC channel with a lot of nice new people anyways. If the others want to stay in Discord, fine by me. Of course it helps that the people on Discord were not IRL friends that I’ve known since childhood. I lost those years ago =D
