All this « editorial » content is so unnerving with so much shit happening in the world. It does not feel like a safe place if you doomscroll every time you browse it…
When the migration started on early June, the content on Lemmy was mostly organic (people writing posts/requests and actual discussion).
Now, a few months later, it is mostly links to articles in mostly every instance. I wonder how many are bots flooding the human voices.
The communties I’ve come to follow are good, but not numerous.
From the sidebar on the home page: As a news aggregator and a social media outlet, with a focus on being a safe and accepting space, we strive to create a positive social impact.
This is a set of goals with inherent tension.
As one of the moderators of !usnews and someone who started in print journalism in the '90s, I can assure you this is not a new problem even without the impact portion. There are a varying number of steps from assigning a story to having it be aggregated on Beehaw, none of which we have any control over (nor, I can safely say, would any of us want to), and readers always want more “good” news regardless of platform.
If some of our news communities are upsetting you, removing those from your default feed is likely your best option.
I’m ok with an article, but I much prefer it when someone accompanies it with a discussion in the body or comments.
My father is in a relationship with my deceased mother’s sister.
I don’t know how to feel about this.
Firstly: Ew
Secondly: He’s really old and has never been able to take care of himself, so I’m glad that someone is there with him and my aunt really is a kind and sweet person who also is single and both are really too old to date, so maybe it’s a good thing.
Thirdly: Ew Ewewewew EW ew
That sounds really sweet. Good for them if they found each other. How long ago did your mom pass?
It’s been a while, and he sincerely mourned her near daily for years.
There was never even a hint of impropriety at any point, and I know they were both really concerned about the family perception.
It’s still weird but they seem pretty happy together and frankly there isn’t enough happiness in the world to begin with.
I would suggest something like a “good news week”. The last week of every month dedicated to sharing the good content we have stumbled upon or experienced. Something to practice a new behavior and make it stick. I don’t believe the changes will come organically. Or maybe a weekly challenge thread, with some goals to the ones that participate. Share a good memory, uplifting news, something that made you smile…
It’s because walled gardens don’t have a very long life expectancy on the internet. If Behaw doesn’t relax its strict rules a little, it will evaporate.
‘Wracking’.
Just sayin’.
In the future please don’t be dismissive. We have many non-native English speakers on the internet. Providing them feedback that they are saying something incorrectly so that they can correct themselves in the future is feedback that can be helpful, but doing so in a polite way is much nicer than a condescending one 💜
I mean, I can narrate about the 20 Windows Server 2008 machines that I’m going to have to bump up to Server 2019. But, depending on how it all goes, I might just spoil the mood even more. :D
Please narrate lol! Your life is cool, maybe you can give a few anecdotes here and there :((( I don’t understand why people think they’re not interesting
Anecdote #1: Don’t put yourself in a position where you’ve got a bunch of servers that you have to upgrade from 2008 to 2019.
Anecdote #2: The warnings against doing in-place Windows Server upgrades can’t stop you if you don’t read them.
LOL. The second one sounds awfully familiar. Not with Windows, but I’ve had my own cases where I didn’t read before breaking. How did it work out in the end?
Going okay so far. We’ve had a lot going on this week, so I didn’t want to touch any of our critical systems for fear of adding even more shit to the plate for my coworkers. The non-critical system upgrades went smoothly. You can’t upgrade from 2008 R2 straight to 2019, so I do an intermediary upgrade to 2012 first (hooray, the Windows 8 start screen!) VMware’s mouse driver seems to break during the upgrade, and my RDP doesn’t like connecting to 2012 servers, so I have to navigate by keyboard to the file explorer to start the upgrade from 2012 to 2019. There’s probably a better way to do this, but I can’t be bothered to find it.
What are the benefits of Windows server against super snappy Linux servers managed with docker or just an instance on a cloud provider?
