he’s a Peter Thiel creation, it doesn’t take a lot of research to see this. He’s basically been on Peter Thiel’s paycheck for like a decade iirc? He’s made millions working directly and indirectly for him. It’s not even particularly subtle. Thiel made substantive donation to non-profits that existed soley to help get Vance elected etc…
took me like 2 google searches to get to reasonable sources for all that, without Thiel you wouldn’t know who Vance was
This made me lol today, thank you
Wait, where’s the stereotypical chad Lemmy mod?
this is just starting to be mean
this really needs more circulation because too goddamn many people still believe his PR
pretty sure this website can do it
I like the way you think!
That is fantastic
Choosing is not so much about whether it’s internet facing or not. From the programmer’s perspective and an administrator’s perspective there are pros and cons to both. As someone looking to self-host, if you want to run a service that works with either, I would make the choice based on what seems the most supported, or which one you feel the most comfortable looking up and performing administrative tasks on. I tend to use postgresql more just because I have more experience with it and can recommend it if that’s what you need, but mysql can be just as good or better in many circumstances. Pick whichever one looks easier to you.
Serious note here, that’s a really cool shot, is it from a movie? Does anyone have a source?
IT SOUNDS LIKE A SEX THING
This feels like an indictment of passive language really. I like my language like I like my tigers, passive and sleepy.
My in-law makes cowboy coffee in a great big kettle on the stove when all the kids arrive for the holidays and it’s actually some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. What trips me out is that he drinks crappy pod coffee the rest of the year.
I see more engagement across my Lemmy feeds every week. It’s definitely smaller and slower here but there are real relationships and communities forming. I think the fediverse is strongly positioned to outlive and maybe even outgrow closed social ecosystems. If you’re frustrated with a lack of a certain kind of content on Lemmy make it your responsibility to go create or share some of that content.
Geocities, Myspace, Digg, Reddit all started somewhere. I think any good underlying framework (federated social networks) that enables strong communities will always stand a chance. I really do get early reddit vibes on here.
I had the opportunity once to see Curiosity modeled in a VR environment as if you were standing on Mars next to it and I remember how very surprised I was at how big it was.
As a fun side note now that you’ve jogged my memory. That same demo also had a model of the Rosetta spacecraft orbiting Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. For whatever reason it was sized so that the asteroid comet was about the size of a cat and I will never forgot watching that itty bitty little satellite orbit around that odd shaped asteroid comet in front of me.

you answered my question before I could even ask, thanks for sharing!
Proud of you both, be good to each other and have a great time. Thanks for sharing your lovely story!
This post has the best comments, thank you all for sharing!
Also curious, have a similar project in mind. I’ve tinkered with jekyll a little and heard good things about Hugo. Hopefully people can speak to some of these.
