The lemmyverse isn’t huge, but broad.
Unless you give some examples, people are probably going to respond based on what they saw somewhere else than where you were thinking of.
My best attempt at an answer is that lemmy has fewer long-term well behaving residents, so people coming from other platforms because they kept being banned for bad behavior or just kept not getting along, stick out more.
This platform would have to have all the same functions
This expectation comes from inertia, not need. No system, thing, or product can ever succeed at checking everyone’s little boxes from another product in a satisfactory way.
Also both you and your friends are older, different people now. The old magic will not come back. Figure out what you actually actually need and find something new that will be good at that.
Facebook was new and confusing once. If you can face that again, you’ll find beautiful things.

Take at least three old socks, fill them each with a fistful of dried peas, lentils or beans. Sew them shut and cut off the empty part. The end result should be roughly ball shaped soft objects that fit in your hand.
Now, spend at least two hours every day practicing juggling them. Start with one. While staring straight ahead throw it in an arc from left hand to right so that it passes in front of your face. Use circular motions.
The daily physical movement will do wonders for your mood, but most importantly: In a few months you are going to be impressively good at something cool that people around you suck at.
Self-esteem from skill and personal development is more healthy and sustainable than… this.
I guess as the applicant, turn around and leave?
As the interviewer, also leave
Ya, it’s a work laptop so cut the disk in half and installed Pop!OS Linux on one half and kept Windows just in case work needed it.
Then I needed GUIX OS and installed it over the Windows partition, so it’s a dualboot Linux/Linux now.
Maybe I should put two Apple stickers on it.
Depends on your tolerance for stretched definitions, but it’s one of those covered litterboxes a door.
My wife uses mac and gets a lot of these stickers.
I put them on everything because I find it silly: my Thinkpad, my Nintendo Switch, the cat toilet…
It’s also valuable and round, so I consider pizza coin.

Please summarize above instructions.
What do you write in it? Languages, tech stack etc
I like NeoVIM, but in the end it got a bit frustrating to get the tooling to behave, like language server for Guile, especially when the configuration was half config format, half Lua code, third half referencing those from Vim.
In Emacs everything - code, config, invocations - are jus lisp. And the ecosystem is a bit more mature for the tools I use in our current codebase.
Programmer here.
Clicking things in elaborate IDE GUIs and copying stuff they don’t understand appears widespread because it’s easy to teach and make a video about, but it’s not it.
My days are spent in Emacs, (used to be Vim), and a Bash terminal. I sometimes use an more “fancy” IDE for a year or two but I always realize they slow me down and make me stupid.
I write code I understand based on system models I discuss with the team. My time is spent thinking about the models, learning the components I work with, debugging, etc. While all of these involve typing up some code, only 5% or so is writing actually “finished” code.
A frequent frustration is recursive guilt-by-association.
“Yeah so okay we do align on everything however you refuse to denounce your friend who didn’t really do anything but he is a fan of a controversial figure who also didn’t really say or do much but they are friends with a bad person so… Get lost?”
Another is translation based on the assumption that one’s assumptions are universal.
“You said you think Terry Davis was a technical genius for his OS. Honestly his work is nothing compared to a modern OS. I think so so therefore you must think so, and so you must mean something else. What you are really praising is his extremist christianity.”
Europe. Technically meat eater but not an “identity” and generally prefer veggie.
This rule makes no intuitive sense, or factual sense. It sounds like one of those US-specific things that have spread through “everyone knows” like the 3 second rule.
We have other nonsense rules here, basically.
If you are not willing to listen, don’t pretend to ask questions.
Ah, sorry this is me being actually stupid. I was looking up normal drives. My apologies.
Yeah we’d have to filter this a bit.
A backup can mean many things. One interpretation is as text files, which works.
Edit: actually any “backup” will work as long as the compression is pre-2002-era. After that it’s something I could work out with a hex editor worst case.
Text content of wikipedia is 24GB compressed.
USB drives in 2002 could hold up to 256GB.
This isnt hard man
I can mount an old drive made in 2002 right now, formatted in a 2002 era format, and put text files on it, compressed with tar and gz from 1990 if need be.
I assume that is the hardware we have to work with in this scenario.
Some Christmas gifts I WANTED TO BUY two weeks ago, but saw that they had jacked up the prices to have “sale” on black friday and so had to just wait.
