This comic was done better by Jason Heeris back in 2013. Only reason I know this is because I printed it out and stuck it on my cubicle wall.

Welcome to Lemmy, bud!

We have lots of Linux and Star Trek memes.

I highly recommend that when you update “all” or your “front page” - be sure to set youe filter for “Hot” results. Gets you the fresh, interesting shit.

Hey! Would you be willing to sell some of them? Looking at setting up a server at home that some of my friends and neighbors can use. I was going to buy them brand new, but I’d be fine with used if your interested in getting rid of some of them.

It’s also fucked. Like, what are we supposed to do? This is the only form of protest that some of us have. I don’t have the ability to get out and protest. I don’t have the ability to be an activist, I have a family that I need to take care of.

I know that change comes from political discourse, and we’ve VERY CLEARLY seen that has worked towards the Republicans benefit (reg. redpilling, QAnon, etc.). It’s the only way I know that I can fight back against that insanity.

Cultural change is slow, but it ultimately wins the war, and the best thing that I can do is be on the right slide of it. I understand that you win over more people by being nice, but my comments arent to “win” over the person I’m talking to…they are the “example”, and my argument is primarily for the hundreds of people that will ultimately read the post.

I wonder if they’ll ever do Bootcamps for any other engineering positions. I mean a Bootcamp Electrical Engineer would be absolutely comical, but I could honestly see there being something like Bootcamp for specific focuses. For degrees like electrical, where the items you learn about in school are often outdated, offering some sort of “What’s New” per field (microelectronics, processor designs, fiber optics, quantum computing, etc) might actually be pretty useful.

Jesus. You weren’t joking. Why would anyone want to deal with that?

Reddit Admins seem to be pushing back. I honestly can’t see anyone wanting to become a Mod at this point after spez’s “landed gentry” statement. He literally implied that they are peasants with unpaid responsibilities. Why the fuck would anyone ever volunteer to want to do that again?

I think that it’s worth it to note that even though only 3% left, we’re a big part of fleshing out a new and improving competing website. Lemmy may not have seemed appealing a few months ago, but holy shit, its taken off in the last month. It’ll be really interesting to see how we grow over the next year as we consistently keep leaching people from reddit.
