Yep and I also want to add that you can use compose.yml to limit the CPU and RAM utilisation of each container, which can help in some cases.

You’re doing i right. Playing cool games with your kids sounds like a blast and some great memories :)

I agree, but don’t let it distract you from how much capitalism sucks balls comrade

Yes, I get lab burnout. I do not want to be fiddling with stuff after my day job. You should give yourself a break and do something else after hours, my dude.

BUT

I do not miss GUIs. Containers are a massive win in terms because they are declarative, reproducible, and can be version controlled.

Docker in and of itself is not the problem here, from my understanding. You can and should trim the container down.

Also it’s not a “whole nested computer”, like a virtual machine. It’s only everything above the kernel, because it shares its kernel with the host. This makes them pretty lightweight.

It’s sometimes even sometimes useful to run Rust or C++ code in a Docker container, for portability, provided you of course do it right. For Rust, it typically requires multiple build steps to bring the container size down.

Basically, the people making these Docker containers suck donkey balls.

Containers are great. They’re a huge win in terms of portability, reproducibility, and security.

This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not being impartial.

If a side’s position is the truth, they’re going to support impartiality, because they want the truth to be spread, which supports their side.

TikTok is probably about to start moderating heavily in favour of a pro-Israel/anti-Palestine bias, just like other Western social media platforms. It’s possible that all a startup would have to do is not do this to secure funding from Palestinian investors.

My only question is whether they’ll allow progressive types on their platform long-term.

If we were talking about stuff like healthcare, food, housing, electricity, clean water, public transit, or access to information, I’d be on the same page.

But this is a luxury hobby. And with luxury hobbies, there’s usually some flexibility. You don’t need a high-end PC to play games. You can run plenty on a lower-end setup, try different genres, or even step away from PC gaming altogether.

You could have friends over for a tabletop game, go for a run, hit the gym, or try something like rock climbing. There are lots of ways to spend your time without needing top-tier gear

Legendary 👊 thanks mate

I’ll have to do that, but a non-zero amount of posts leak through into other communities. I did find out I can just filter posts by keywords using uBlock Origin.

Actually, could you please screenshot your filter list? I’d really like to just block them all without going through the effort of having to find them.

Yeah you’re absolutely right. Though we are talking about two separate things here; OP and I are talking about “eat the rich” left rhetoric. Like people coming here and seeing comments like, “wheel out the guillotines”, and “kill all CEOs”.

You’re talking about the fact that we shouldn’t welcome conservative voices after they’ve ruined the rest of the internet. I absolutely 100% completely agree with you.

I’ll give you an example; I’m more leftie than my wife. So it surprising to her when I said that people should be allowed to just punch Nazis with no legal ramifications. Like to her it was actually confronting to hear someone she knew advocate for violence. I explained my reasoning. They are corrosive to society’s norms, and really need a different set of rules to regular people to be contained. The only language they understand is violence.

But the point is the average person is going to be immediately repulsed by calls for violence and extreme rhetoric, regardless of whether it is morally justified and the reasoning is technically correct.

So imagine a moderate “regular” person coming to this forum. Without the context of history that you and I have, how do they interpret these comments? Will they want to stay on Lemmy?

I’m not saying Lemmy should change, by the way. I have no problem with the rhetoric, and there’s a case to be made that getting rid of it may make it easier for conservatives to get a foothold here. But it’s worth a discussion, I guess.

And that all said, there’s a chance that by “eat the rich” OP means anything complaining about the rich, in which case they can fuck off to their own instance.

Thanks, I made an account. Waiting for my activation email :)

I’m going to tentatively upvote this. There’s a good reason the left wingers on this platform sound bitter (myself included). The Overton Window has shifted right, so they’re pretty much surrounded by toxic right-wing stuff on every other platform.

Still, it doesn’t help Lemmy attract moderates.

I really admire this, and wish I was more like this. I had conservative parents and grew up in a conservative echo chamber. I got their opinions shoved down my throat my entire life. I have exactly 0 patience for conservative most view points. Especially when there it conflicts with scientific evidence and/or common decency. I tend to shut down conversations (online and in real life) with people that disagree with me.

Reality is it just hurts me to see their opinions being the dominant/default position in society. Makes our society feel unforgiving.

But I’m trying to change. I’m meditating, and journaling on this.

I really can’t with Hacker News. The new US food guidelines were a good example. Every single damn comment was defending the inclusion of beef and dairy in it, especially saturated fat.

So many disgusting pro-AI comments strawmanning anti-AI opinions too.

I’m going to be frank.

I’m highly empathetic, and studied history, sociology, economics, international relations, and a few other subjects in university. I dabble in reading as well.

It’s really, really hard for me to stomach the news coming out of the US right now. I’m Australian, so in comparison I live in a utopia. But I just want to cry whenever I see how innocent people are being hurt in the US, Venezuela, Palestine, or really anywhere else. I get angry when I see how the US government, and many others are fucking everything up right now. Things don’t have to be like this.

There is so much American news on this platform. There is so much bad news in general. I don’t come to the internet to stress and worry. I come here to learn stuff about niches and chill out. And every time I’m on Lemmy I’m left with the same bad feelings I get from reading world news subreddits.

Let me be clear; I have no problem with the fact that American news gets posted. It’s that when I get on the lemmy.zip or lemmy.world page, some days 9/10 links are to American news, that is very, very, bad news. It makes me miserable.

So why should I be here instead of just switching off? I love Lemmy, but I find that I just can’t justify coming on here. It makes me feel awful.

clears throat

Nah fuck that. The non-Nazis can come over, and we’ll have a barbie 🇺🇸🇦🇺🦐🍻
