And at least in the Unix context it’s a positive term.

Then offer education or ignore the post. You know what’s easier than OP googling the question? You not responding to OP if you don’t have anything of value to add. You’re here with a passive aggressive “let me Google that for you” bullshit attitude yet YOU’RE upset at OP for not being better at searching for their answers?

I agree people should put more effort into trying to figure it out on their own and learning how to ask good questions but the tone of your comments is more detrimental to the quality of these communities than a “stupid question” ever will be.

Now we have millions of useless posts being archived like this one.

The archives! Why won’t anyone think of the archives!?

If we have room for comments like yours in the archives then we have room for legitimate questions by beginners in there too. Your post history shows a significant amount of deleted comments and downvotes. I bet they were all very productive and helpful comments for the archives, right?

Not OP comment but I had no idea Wayland supported all of that. Thanks for sharing! I really need to leave my Linux bubble more often.

Yeah the local thing is something I’d like to see working properly because I mostly used Reddit and now Lemmy for software/tech discourse since Reddit replaced IRC for me like 15yrs ago haha. I expected to only see stuff specifically relating to that via my local programming.dev instance but I’m getting more of a catch-all in there currently. Maybe I need to clear the app’s cache or something.

I’ll try the scaled sort, it seems to be the popular opinion here. Thank you!

Edit: I’m an idiot. I was confusing the users posting to these local (to me) communities with their home instance tags aka [email protected] or [email protected] as the instances I was seeing. So if I saw a post by [email protected] then I was incorrectly interpreting that as a post on lemmy.world. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Thank you for this! I’ve used Boost for Reddit for years so you’d think I would have thought about this already haha. I really appreciate the thorough walkthrough! Hopefully it helps more people than just me!

I have no idea why I didn’t think to adjust the sort and just relied on the category itself. Ugh. Thanks for pointing that out haha.

Any idea about the local category showing communities from non-local instances? Do you experience the same thing?

Ah interesting. Thank you, you’re giving me something to read about that I never considered for crates. I guess I just assumed because of the scrutiny Rust was built with and continues to go through that it would also apply to verifying crates. I have definitely heard about it with NPM so it should have been obvious that it might not be any different for crates. Thanks again!

What is insecure about it?

God I miss the IRC days

I’m sorry but this reads like someone that hasn’t used Rust or hasn’t spent much time with it. You’re generalizing Rust with other languages while forgetting that some fads turn into standards.

If everyone stopped trying new things we’d never see progress.

Edit: fixed typo

Yeah if someone that is blind comes across a page I’m sure waiting for the description to generate is more valuable/worthwhile than a faster experience with no information at all.

To that point it’s probably going to be a lot slower than running it on an HDD too. That said, the USB performance is surprisingly good when you consider you’re literally running an OS over USB and the OS isn’t even in an optimized state.
