It’s better to wait for a stable product than to release it early with full of bugs

Do not put all Christians in the same basket. I’m Orthodox Christian and I absolutely hate what he is saying.
Mereo@piefed.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?English1·8 days agoI got Onlyoffice working by installing the plugin Community Document Server: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/documentserver_community
Mereo@piefed.cato politics @lemmy.world•Ted Cruz says FCC chair sounded like a mafia boss in threats against ABC over Jimmy KimmelEnglish13·8 days agoIt’s because MAGA should be a totally different party. I suspect It’s too different even for the most hardened republicans.
Mereo@piefed.cato Technology@lemmy.world•A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?English63·10 days agoI believe the problem is that people feel entitled to a job with a six-figure salary just because they paid for an expensive college education. College has this air of excellence.
But then, reality sets in. Knowledge is nice, of course, but practical experience is key. You need to know how to act in the real world.
Mereo@piefed.cato politics @lemmy.world•ABC takes Jimmy Kimmel off the air over remarks on Charlie Kirk’s killingEnglish25·12 days agoDear USA, fight for your rights. What’s happening now reminds me of what happened to Baseem Youssef in Egypt: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-27671642
Mereo@piefed.cato Linux@programming.dev•I Tried Fedora KDE as a Beginner (It's AMAZING) - Switch and ClickEnglish7·12 days agoHave you actually watched the video? It wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. It wasn’t entirely positive.
Mereo@piefed.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”English8·13 days agoPiefed/Lemmy/Fediverse: freedom from capitalist tyranny. True organic, human communities.
Reddit is cyberpunk. It’s a world governed by a corporation that acts as its government and only cares about its shareholders, not its citizens.
Mereo@piefed.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft is testing full-screen Microsoft 365 ads in Windows 11 for expired subscriptionsEnglish1·16 days agoI don’t know why you’re being downvoted but that’s a legitimate reason. Unfortunately, Microsoft Office has a total monopoly of the office market so incompatibilities are bound to happen with alternative Office software.

Mereo@piefed.cato Games@lemmy.world•Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And CrashingEnglish46·18 days agosigh… This generation of games will all suck because of Unreal Engine 5. I’m a patient gamer, I have plenty of unplayed games on my Steam library. I will not upgrade my video card because of this horrendous game engine.

I’m running Manjaro since 2022 and it has been running smoothly. I guess I’m foolish…
Mereo@piefed.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned?English111·22 days agoThink of Reddit as Cyberpunk or Mirror’s Edge: a world controlled by corporations instead of governments. A corporation only seeks its own interests and those of its shareholders. In that world, you’re nothing. There’s no transparency, and you don’t have any rights.
Lemmy instances on the other hand are run by the community and funded by donations. As such, the interests of the group as a whole prevail; they are not the interests of shareholders. To maintain cohesion, transparency is necessary, hence the modlog. Without transparency, cohesion and community cannot be maintained.
Reddit and Lemmy are two completely different worlds.
Mereo@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney Should Pledge a Referendum on Any Major Trump Deal | The TyeeEnglish10·24 days agoI’m against it. We elected people to represent us. Let the experts deal with it.
Case in point: Brexit. People were swayed to vote “yes” because they were told life would be great. Now, they regret their choice.
Why is this upvoted? It an ad for a company.
I’m sure it will. A company is behind it.
