I believe Lemmy itself is shrinking. Last I checked Fediverse Observer, it was on a downward trend (although not drastically). That said, that excludes PieFed. I think when including PieFed we’re probably growing (very) slowly.

Erm, it looks to me that there is a project to make them work on Linux: https://openrazer.github.io/.

It only covers the absolute basics. Not even button rebinding.

Also… TBH if a mouse doesn’t work on Linux that kind of makes it a bad mouse, IMO. I would just get a different mouse if it was an actual issue. It’s not like it’s a mechanical keyboard or something.

I mean, even ignoring that, its pretty bad. Doesn’t even have on-board memory. Unfortunately, its what I’m stuck with, given that I can’t afford a new one.

Unfortunately not. Theres some tools for the RGB, or one-off tweaks like changing DPI and polling rate in the UI, but nothing that offers button rebinding, nonetheless profile control.

OpenRazer unfortunately doesn’t support rebinding buttons.

Are you sure its the same as the Naga X, because I’m 99% sure the Naga X doesn’t have on-board memory? The earlier and more expensive ones do, but the X is the cheapo option.

My mouse isn’t Logitech, its Razor. The Naga X.

What kind of mouse are you using anyway?

Razer Naga X. I spent all day yesterday trying to get it working in Mint, but had no luck. Nothing supports button rebinding, nonetheless DPI changes with button remapping.

Edit: made it slightly more clear

I mean, if the marketing is lying about the product, it will probably demoralize developers in a similar way and for the same reasons.

I mean, theres the obvious answer that the world sucks right now. Even in the richest country in the world, large parts are the population are starving and/or homeless.

That said, your argument seems to conflate “nature” with “reality”. The answer to that is that nature is generally very bad for us. Bugs and animals will try to eat us if given a chance - killing us first is a luxury often not afforded. Plants, trying to avoid being eaten, are poisonous almost as often as not. With the limited availablility of food in nature, starvation is common. Even common diseases can kill hundreds of thousands without the use of modern medicine. We build and innovate to get away from all this. We build houses and weapons to protect ourselves from the elements and the animals. We develop pesticides and GMOs because they’re easier to grow and more nutritious, making feeding ourselves cheaper. We develop medicine to save billions of lives that would otherwise be lost. Being natural doesn’t mean something is good for us, and in fact generally means the opposite.

Some are real, many are exaggerated or fantastical. It varies a lot. If you think of western shows, some use realistic names, esspecially in a more grounded setting, but most cartoons or more fantastical works will use names that are over-the-top (I.E. Marty McFly), while others are loosely based on other languages or completely made up.

I believe “Hot” sorting filters by a mix of recency, score and possibly also activity. If you want to sort by score alone, you can use the dropdown to change the sorting to use “top” instead. There may also be an option in your settings to make this the default if you want to.

A lot of the same reasons younger women often like older men. Maturity and stability is attractive, people often have sexual preferences for those who are older, those who are older often have money they can throw around (IE sugar daddies), and people often find the power imbalance attractive.

The last graph is total posts across Lemmy, so its only about 300,000 posts a month, although notably, about 250,000 of those are on a bot server no one is federated with.

I’d expect that, although I’ve noticed this trend continuing (and seemingly getting worse) for months now.

Looking at the more detailed breakdowns, it looks like there are a couple of servers (Lemmit.online, alien.top among others) with huge numbers of posts/comments that appear to be entirely bots. Are those counted in the stats? Could those be messing with the overall graphs? If Lemmit’s quarter of a million posts a month are counted, its going to make the monthly posts stat useless when even .world only has about 15k posts a month.

Edit: Comparing the graphs to the server list, it looks like Lemmit is counted, so the main graph is likely misleading. I did look through some of the bigger servers, and their rate of posting seemed fairly linear, but there isn’t a good way to check overall.

I’ve definately noticed it too. I’ve tried to look for stats, and most seem to indicate that there is plenty of activity, but I dont really see it. At this point, I can scroll through the day’s all feed in like 20 minutes, nonetheless my subscribed feed. I kind-of wonder if theres one or two instances with a lot of bot activity effectively inflating the numbers.

Edit: Is there a way to see monthly posts by instance, or compare percentage of posts? That would be an easy way to prove or disprove my bots theory.

Edit 2: fediverse.observer shows monthly (Or rather, total by month) local posts by instance but not federated, and their overall stats are warped by a few bot instances that you can’t filter out. That said, for local posts on a few of the big instances, the rate seems stable. That said, smaller instances are shutting down so I don’t know if that has an impact on the overall posting rate.

Embarrassed? No.

Annoyed/mad? Maybe a bit?

It does feel like its a boundary violation, and inconsiderate to both you and the woman to suprise, you and force a specifc date and time on you like that. At the same time, you didn’t do anything wrong, and if the opportunity has presented itself, and you are interested in dating, its still worth it to go.

Its not normally sought out, in fact, its nearly the opposite. If you don’t filter what you search for and you just mindlessly scroll on most social media, its low effort slop (AI and not) that you end up with.

Its in the same vien as most mobile games - Most people download the first thing that catches their eye on the app store (part of why top grossing is so prominently featured) and if it holds their attention at all, they keep playing. They’re not looking for good games, they’re looking for something to reduce boredom on their bus ride.
