  • Very nicely put. I’ve used all this for deep reflection about my internetting as well and I don’t think I have come to terms with everywhere being ruined by corporate. It’s not like they don’t fuck us over as well in the real world and I now realize what kind of fight we’re in on- and offline. Don’t want to give up any bit of space to evil corporations. I think it’s easy to create really quiet Lemmy instances (or other social sites, federated or not) where one can rest from all those aggressive algorithms, and if I do it at some point I will make it very connected to real life and good for information gathering. Other than that, I like real life, I’m not interested in much virtual stuff.




  • First ever pics inserted into Lemmy, hope that works. Behold, the redneck mouseboard. Has a height adapter to work from sofa or desk, because the only ergo that really works well for me is changing my position often. The keys on my board are made to be super light, because the only version I found at the time had really heavy keys and it was awful. I slaughtered a cheap mouse and 3D-printed the thingies that hold the mouse-buttons and scroll wheel in place. Scroll wheel has stopped working unfortunately (tiny plastic wheel shaft broke). But the keys work great. I have assigned the middle one to do certain things in my translation workflow, but would like more keys. Which in my current very limited understanding means “add more mice”. But there might be more elegant ways, maybe you good people could help.





  • All you guys think fandom type wikis. I am thinking about practical knowledge. A wiki about donkey care can very well need a quick link to a wiki about medicinal plants, and wikis about adjacent practical topics, or think for example car tuners and motorbike tuners - they might like to have different wikis but will have lots of similar or equal topics. Wouldn’t a federated wiki mean it can be better protected from attempts of centralized censorship?
