Because we don’t want kittens?

What don’t you like about it?

I see plenty of ML people being awful in meme communities. I’m amazed you don’t. Any even remotely political meme will attract them, or at least would back when they were out in force supporting Trump leading up to the election.

And that is even though I’ve blocked ML and have a hair trigger for blocking .ml accounts

Don’t you know that defending against authoritarians is the real authoritarianism? Just look at how Ukraine is visiously provoking russia to invade by checks notes defending themselves during the invasion

Well, you’d need to pay a very specific amount of attention to not notice the tankies from ML, but really notice and be bothered but people shunning ML because of the tankies. I guess it’s possible, but it seems unlikely to be common

Same, I can’t recommend lemmy to friends or coworkers because of this. Mastodon is much better at this

Sure, and anyone can walk into a nazi bar. But with threads like this being fairly common, and ML people behaving as they do, you have every chance to realise pretty quickly and leave

Hell, ML people are bad enough that I imagine a lot of sane people leave lemmy entirely, if they pick an instance that hasn’t defederated ML yet. I’m looking at alternatives myself as getting associated with these types of people isn’t a great idea, and the lemmy developers are part of the problem

Not everyone in a nazi bar is a nazi. Let’s hear them out and give them the benefit of the doubt even though they could go to literally any bar, but keep going to the nazi bar

People should find a better foundation for self-esteem than hating linux distros. They’re mostly ok, and without debian Linux wouldn’t be what it is today

Preferring a certain distro is fine but why care if others like something else?

Or run the raid 5 or 6 separately, with hardware raid or mdadm

Even for simple mirroring there’s an argument to be made for running it separately from btrfs using mdadm. You do lose the benefit of btrfs being able to automatically pick the valid copy on localised corruption, but the admin tools are easier to use and more proven in a case of full disk failure, and if you run an encrypted block device you need to encrypt half as much stuff.

If you’re frictionless too, physicists will love you

The wikipedia page has a calculator that supports metric more properly
