@Los Howbee y’all

@dirtmayor That’s not even how computers regulate heat!

@alyaza Just getting started of course, but going alright so far. Been busy trying to make sense of some programming, to try to bend it to my own application. I’m not really a developer, but hopefully I’ll figure this bit out.

Hope all is going well with Beehaw

That feels about right for how long it took that one. I don’t have any idea what more modern macs are like - that 2012 one is the only one I’ve ever worked on, and it wasn’t for personal use. I suspect that if it had an SSD it would have gone faster.

@rgb_leds_are_love

Oh no worries on that, I did. Luckily the drive I was replacing was just for media, not for the OS, but I decided to go with a 2.5” SATA drive for it. My OS drive and games drive were both already NVME M.2 drives.

Speaking of slow computers though, I recently reinstalled MacOS on an iMac from like 2012… It was excruciatingly slow, even just to boot into the OS. I do not miss those days.

@jnovinger
Oh also I can make a post on Mastodon and if I include the @ for a Lemmy community it will post there too. For example: https://lemmy.ml/post/1168798

@jnovinger
I can search on Mastodon for the URL of a Lemmy post or comment to reply from Mastodon.

I can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon and it will boost all posts and comments into my feed there.

I can follow individual Lemmy users and see their posts on Mastodon.

I was able to point https://relay.fedi.buzz at Beehaw.org to generate a relay URL for it, so now all Beehaw.org posts hit my instance’s federated feed. This one really surprised me.

@bruhsoulz
It’s been good! I have to say my favorite element has been figuring out different ways that I can blend my Lemmy interactions with my Mastodon use.

Beehaw, honey suckers!

@anji
I’m on Beehaw, but also subscribe to some communities (most notably the Memes community) from lemmy.ml. And I normally try to respond to things from my Mastodon account on darkfriends.social.

Thanks @sexy_peach !

@Sewot I don’t know anything about Lemmy moderation but with Mastodon if an admin wants to moderate a remote instance there are is a Suspend option and a Limit option.
- Suspend is a hard block. Content and requests from the remote instance will not be accepted at all.
- Limit prohibits content from the remote instance from appearing in public feeds or to users that aren’t actively subscribed to that content.

I do not know if Lemmy has an equivalent, but it seems feasible.

@alyaza
Getting off to a decent start. Meetings scheduled throughout the day, but at least they aren’t the useless type where I sit in on them for good reason.

@StringTheory
I’m not @GooseDwarf but I highly recommend the works of Alastair Reynolds. I got hooked and ripped through most of his books in a matter of months. Really great sci-fi. He’s got a stand-alone novel called House of Suns that is a great way to check out his writing.

@kherge

I’m not sure that Apple’s device will be priced competitively enough to eat Meta’s lunch. But it’s hard to say. Apple has convinced people to purchase some pretty bizarre things over the years.

@MerrickGreen

That fediverse effect.

@darkfoe
For sure!

@alyaza
I go by hybrid havoc. I work in information technology for higher education, dealing largely with Ellucian Colleague and other peripheral applications. I am also the admin of https://darkfriend.social which is a Mastodon instance that was spun up for fans of the Wheel of Time fantasy series. I am a big fan of fantasy and science fiction in general.

Mostly my darkfriend.social account is my primary account on the Fediverse. I may occasionally post here from my beehaw account.

@strudel6242 Very interested to see how this one does. I’m really curious about the controller redesign and tracking. I was honestly already considering picking up a pair of the controllers from the Quest Pro but if these are improved over the Quest 2 controllers then maybe that won’t be needed.
