Zeno’s Paradox, even though it’s pretty much resolved
Lol. It pretty much just decreases the time span you look at so that you never get to the point in time the arrow reaches the apple. Nothing there to be “solved” IMHO
one of the main reasons the linux kernel is where it is today: “never break userspace”
unfortunately not every project keeps to this principle.
In the past there were mutliple tools: apt-cache (searching packages), apt-get (managing packages), apt-file (searching for files belonging to packages), apt-key (managing repository keys)…
A few years ago some developers created apt to combine these multiple tools into the single program called apt. Both tools (the old apt-… and the new apt) use dpkg in the backend to install and remove packages. Looks like apt hasn’t done its documentation homework.
no package manager should put stuff into /usr/local, thats why its /usr/local. package manager should only put stuff into /usr/… not /usr/local. In the past some mainframes mounted these directory via nfs to do some kind of software management. It contains global stuff that is not managed by the package manager. install some software via “tarball and make” and it most likely puts everything into /usr/local/…
It’s the best location for your needs. /home/shared is a bad idea. /home is reserved for home directories not some shared stuff.
/usr/local is specifically what you are asking for. i would put themes to /usr/local/share/themes for example. chances are gtk will already look there. You can manage permissions inside /usr/local as you like. since the package manager doesn’t care for that directory there is no problem. giving write permissions only to root still is a good idea. it suggest to learn to use sudo when you are working on your system.
Sure and there are pages helping you find communities, but there isn’t that one central instance that works as a frontend to all the decentralized content.
I really wish to get a solution that builds of a free protocol, not on a single centrally managed instance of something that gives disproportional power to the instance hoster.
I fucking love the idea of activity pub. Everything can talk to everything and offer different features for different requirements like forums, short messages or even video distribution.
Internet, as much as anyone acts like it’s not, is in its childs steps. We should really make sure in 100 years it’s a communication tool for the masses, not another advertising platform.
OSS and open protocols are so important for the future. Who cares if some people feel overwhelmed by adding an @instance to some handles?!
Sorry for my bad English btw. ;)
Give it time I would say. Nobody cares about not having a central mail index, because everyone is used to how email works.
Now with Lemmy we are changing the central approach of reddit to a decentralized one like email. It’s not a big problem if you ask me, it’s only that people don’t like change. Still, I think it’s crucial that we stay with the decentralized approach instead of creating the same problems we had with reddit/facebook/twitter and the likes.
We did it the wrong way nummerous times. This time, let’s be patient and please do it the right way for once.
And don’t forget that the big corporations are already trying to undermine the new approach. Look at meta and threads for example.
Read “the power of habit”, then use it to create healthy habits. Nobody can change his life in an instant. The book explains how to accomplish any habit in small steps.
It’s not about what to do specifically, its about moving in the right direction in a healthy way
It’s like email: it doesn’t matter if you have an @gmail.com or @microsoft.com address, you can send and receive mail to/from anybody. Lemmy accounts and communities consist of a name which includes the instance, just like e-mail.
That’s it, I don’t think a regular user needs to know more.
Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition
I think another good analogie is the human eye. Only the center has high resolution, everything around it is rather shitty, but you never realize that, because the stuff you focus on is always in the center.
Try to look at your self into your eyes the mirror while you are not looking at yourself :)

I fucking hate reading text written by AI
placebo effect works in both directions. i just wanted to share my experience, that i don’t suffer any side effects aside of some headaches. i wonder how many people feel bad because they believe they have too
it sounds like you are angry at me for not getting side effects when stopping caffeine
Nope, no freak here, I got other substances that I can’t quit as easily but coffee wasn’t a problem at all.
I did it last year for a week. As I said, first day I git a headache in the evening but that was it.
Headaches?! Yes, the first evening, after that, nothing. No flu like symptoms, no nothing. It’s just a habit for me but doesn’t fuck me up if I don’t do it.
I’ll happiely drink 4-6 red bull a day and another 1-4 coffee on top, but I don’t care if there is none.
Weeks of headaches? Flu like symptoms? You guys sure you don’t just have a placebo effect when quitting?
