  • I spent 95% of my time shitposting on one forum in the early 2000's. It was a similar experience to spending 95% of my time on reddit or one of the other major social media sites, except that crazy new ideas for social media didn't really exist back then. They were all traditional forums where everything is posted in chronological order. I remember occasionally sumbling across a threaded forum back then, where you could reply directly to a comment and start a new thread chain like lemmy and reddit can. That was about it as far as innovation went, or at least from what I remember.

    The other 5% where I was browsing those old web 1.0 sites with basic html and flash and all that stuff, I don't miss that stuff too much. It would be nice to browse through an archive of stuff like that once or twice for nostalgia's sake, but the modern internet is good too. I have no qualms with the modern internet.

  • Well, this is off topic, but c/all for all the popular instances are like 99% the same, save for the occasional obscure community in one of the instances that nobody else is subscribed to. You can confirm that yourself by opening up lemmy.world and sopuli.xyz in private tabs and selecting all with the same sort in both. But I should've also mentioned that I sort by the "top" sorts when I browse all. If you browse with hot or active, then it is a significantly different experience from the top sorts.

    But alright, I won't pester you anymore. I apologize if I sounded angry too. I've been having issues with that recently that I'm trying to be more conscious of. I shouldn't have even made my original comment in here, now that I'm thinking of it. That was kind of poor forum etiquette. It's easy enough to just ignore the migration notices. So sorry about that haha. I wish you the best of luck with your communities, though.

  • I'm not subscribed to any communities. I'm seeing all these notices on c/all. This is like the 5th c/ps5 migration notice I've seen in the past two days. That's why I suggested to just start posting new threads in [email protected] and be done with it. Lemmy is still really small, so basically every thread has the potential to succeed in c/all, even for new communities that are still starting out. So [email protected] will grow very easily without having to have this big hoopla about migrations and whatnot.

    But I'm afraid to say I don't think your idea is going to fly long term. While lemmy.ml advertises itself as a FOSS focused instance, if you browse local top day for it, you can see that in actuality it's a lot of memes and other more casual posts. And you're squatting on the ps5 name for lemmy.ml now, which could cause issues down the road.

    You should either keep both communities active and be the mod of both, or seek out mods to replace you at [email protected].

  • Just start posting in [email protected] and be done with this whole migration thing. Posts in your new community will make it to c/all and people will participate and subscribe. [email protected] is going to continue to exist with new mods and people will continue to post there, and there's really nothing you can do about that. That's just the nature of decentralized communities. Kind of like how c/asklemmy posts are split 50/50 between [email protected] and [email protected].

  • Thanks, this thread has been highly informative for me. I now know there's a little bit of vitamin loss from the canning process, so I should look into that.

  • There was a time when I tried getting into cooking (mostly variations of rice and beans) and I ended up leaning pretty heavily on canned chopped/diced tomatoes too. I liked the different flavors you could buy, in terms of the seasoning that's put in the can, and you're right, you could put anything in it and it would taste good.

  • Haha yeah, the canned fruit is loaded with sugar from that extra syrup they add. I've been rationalizing it as at least I'm not drinking soda anymore, but I need to fix that too.

    This is great info, though. Dried fruit is a good idea about ditching that sugary syrup. Plus, it's easier than canned fruit anyway. I have been avoiding the premixed canned stuff and I do eat a lot of nuts and seeds, but I don't do any dried vegetables. I'll start looking into trying those. They do sound like they'd be a good way to get more variety.

  • Thanks! Yeah, I'll start trying to introduce frozen veggies into my routine. Never considered the pickled section of the grocery store, but I'll take a look there too.

  • Thanks cool, that's good to know that I'm ok with the cans. I just have to start buying the low/no salt versions from now on, it sounds like. I'll probably try to start mixing it up with the other lazy healthy options too, though. If only for a little more variety.

  • Cool, thanks for the recipe!

  • Thanks, I'll try getting the low salt versions of things I can, and trying alternatives too, like frozen versions. I thought about dried beans before too, so maybe I'll give those an honest go now. I was thinking they'd probably be just as easy as what I'm currently doing if you cook those in batch, and they'd probably taste better too.

  • Thanks for the alternatives ideas. I should try to mix up my "cooking" game a little, just to get a little more variety in my diet.

  • Yeah, that's the type of thing I was wondering about. Some weird chemical type thing or something that does damage over time. I haven't been worrying about it too much, but figured I should probably at least check before I knock too many canned meals back.

    And yeah, this is metal cans I'm talking about.

    For the microplastics, I guess I'm not too concerned with this if I can't avoid them anyway.

  • I forgot to mention that I also eat a sandwich or something with the canned food meal. Like peanut butter and jelly or something. And about the salt content, I rinse both the beans and vegetables off before I mix them. I'm pretty sure there's little to no salt left at that point, because I don't taste any.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Is eating a lot of canned food bad?

  • I don't know what to tell you. This change was more appropriate for Fedora and developers are bad at PR is basically the simplest way to put it.

  • They do have a robust testing process, but their main focus at the CentOS Stream stage is more about preparing for the stable RHEL build than it is about adding a ton of new features and bug fixes. Testing takes time so it would be physically impossible for them to test everything if they didn't have a limit on the type of contributions they accept. For bug fixes, their limit is that the bug has to be critical. For bugs lesser than that, the correct place to contribute those fixes is in Fedora.

    That has been adequately explained in the merge request at this point, if you click in that link at the top of this thread amd read through it to get the latest info. The Red Hat devs have also made no indication that they're not welcome to contributors. Anyone who's saying that is blowing this merge request issue out of proportion.

  • I'm getting downvoted because I'm not conceding that the miscommunication was a legitimate excuse for that blowup. And I'm going to continue to not concede that. I found this whole situation to be embarrassing, and I think instead of getting mad at the miscommunication, you should all be getting mad at the moron who took that screenshot and whipped up the mob frenzy to swarm that merge request, because ultimately Red Hat was 100% justified in not accepting that merge request, and it made you all look like morons.

    It's fine to get mad on social media, but if you're contributing to GitLab or someplace else, then you need to slow your roll. There's always a process involved when contributing to a project, and you have to learn that process in order to contribute effectively. You can't blow up and whip up a social media frenzy at the slightest inconvenience.

    Edit: Sorry, @[email protected]. I should also add that I'm not mad at you personally or anything, or calling you a moron. I'm more talking about the collective response to this situation. And I'm pretty bad at words, so I feel like I accidentally made it too angry.

  • I'm still getting downvoted, so I'm just going to put this here and be done with this:

    RTFM about DevOps

  • I'm getting downvoted on my comment about not making a comment on CentOS, so now I feel obligated to reply to this.

    I don't know, dude. I don't really care about the miscommunication. I was just focusing solely on the merits of the merge request's code changes.

    For the miscommunication, it seems like a two way street to me. That was GitLab, so the Red Hat dev was probably operating under the assumption that people there already understood everything about their testing process. But obviously that's not the case, so Red Hat should create better boilerplate responses for these scenarios. But on the other side of the coin, whoever took this screenshot and posted it to reddit or wherever did so prematurely, imo. They should've asked around a bit to make sure it was a legitimate thing to blow up about before they sent a lynch mob to the merge request.
