onlinepersona , to Fediverse in GitLab abandons federation plans!

The comparisons you're making are off base and it feels like you're mocking something you don't understand, while doing so with a lot of confidence. I'd suggest you either read an article, watch a video, or read the ActivityPub spec's intro. It isn't long and should help you understand the basics. Then you can move on the ForgeFed spec which is the ActivityPub extension for source forges. And you can always ask an LLM to summarise it for you if you really don't understand.

They're usually sank in areas that are otherwise uninhabited by corals due to the depth of the water. The wrecks provide surfaces in the light zone which allows corals to grow.

It's entirely new habitat and it provides more breeding sites in the area. Even if it takes wildlife from other areas, the decrease in population in those results in higher breeding rates in those locations due to decreased competition for food and breeding sites. More breeding sites = more breeding and a higher overall population of wildlife over time.

Ecology aside, these sites draw a lot of tourism. They're "shipwrecks" that are in shallow water, often shallow enough that you can experience them while scuba diving, without needing decompression stops. This means that scuba divers can experience wreck diving without the extra complexity of decompression.

There are many of these artificial reefs around Florida and they're very popular dive sites in areas that otherwise would have no similar attractions.

lambda , to Linux in Linus Torvalds: Speaks on the Rust vs C Linux Divide
@lambda@programming.dev avatar

Do you have something against it? People hate on it like it's a fad or whatever. But, the people who like it, LOVE it.

Rust is the most admired language, more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year. 

https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#overview

Rust is on its seventh year as the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it.

https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#overview

8 years in a row. I can understand the perspective of someone who spent years honing their craft in C/C++ and not wanting to learn a new language. But, the Harassment of the "Rust in Linux Lead" is ridiculous. I'm not saying you are harassing. But, saying it's a tech bro thing is just negative and doesn't do justice to how many devs just like rust.

biribiri11 , to Linux in Immutable distros and dot files / config files

To add onto this, if you really wanted to rebase and don’t want config file clashes, you can use ostree config-diff after rebasing to show what config files changed. You can also simply remove all the files in /etc, and on the next boot, ostree will re-populate it with the contents of /usr/etc in a three way merge. Just be sure to copy, at bare minimum, /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, and /etc/fstab otherwise it’ll be very awkward when you try to boot again and your boot process fails because it doesn’t automatically mount your disks and you can’t login because you have no users. It’s kinda cool tho, that, at least for this very specific issue, those 3 files might not be needed if/when systemd-homed’s JSON User Records and Discoverable Partitions see wider adoption.

(Note: this is dumb and error prone, and you should absolutely do what the other commenter said)

@Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world avatar

In early 2019 bittorrent’s website views fluctuated between ~6M to ~9M. Now it’s around 3M to 4M.

In early 2019 utorrent’s visits fluctuated between ~26M to ~75M. Now it sits around 25M to 21M.

The fact that there were far more captures in early 2019 for both of them might be an indication that this was their peak, and while visits have reduced since then they’re far from dying.

Streaming services may be part of the reason, though I also think it’s because many games and software have switched to freemium & microtransactions so spending money is optional, along with the fact that free and open source alternatives to mainstream software have become more robust and popular. When I was a kid I torrented Sony Vegas, but now that’s simply not necessary since we have DaVinci Resolve.
