I think it has the potential to build a modern subculture, facilitating hobby discussions, news, and build personal interactions.
I was sequestered indoors my entire life. My parents lived in the middle of nowhere, and wouldn’t help me get away from home – tried to get my license several times. I wasn’t allowed to go to other people’s houses. People weren’t allowed to come over – they could be bad influences. My first snowman was at 28 years old. I tried to go to college and they disconnected the Internet mid-semester, because it was Satanic.
School was a battleground of guys terrified to be anywhere near me.
Every time I try and find male friends, it always ends in me not being manly enough. And it’s rattled me to my core. I literally can’t be around men anymore, despite doing numerous home and auto repairs growing up. Wiring shit together, etc. It always ends the same. I’ve always wanted guy friends. I just can’t try anymore.
Which is the reason for the question. Why are grown-ass men afraid of people not being manly enough?
Well, I mean. . . from the outside. . . It appears to create a ladder of self-worth, enabling someone to validate themselves above others for appearing not to conform to the group. While also ensuring your own compliance, by allowing the ladder to collapse in under you.
Edit: The question is, what are they complying with?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What terrifies men the most about homosexuality?
92·2 days agoI think that answer only carries so much weight: racists aren’t afraid of becoming black.
I hate not knowing what’s going on with the data under the hood.

Technology@lemmy.world•Republican bill would order ISPs, DNS providers, and VPNs to block piracy sitesEnglish

I wrote my own key-value database (with drive and memory storage), so I didn’t have to use SQL.

Just got bored one night and built a blog off of it.
Edit: I’m literally tempted to write an API server around this, add sharding, and call it a night.
I absolutely detest SQL. I will probably go to my deathbed having never typed a line of SQL in my life. I don’t know why I hate it as much as I do, but I refuse to learn it – my brain won’t let me.
I’ve programmed in C, C++, Python, BASIC, JavaScript, Assembly, etc. I wrote CGIs for Apache in all these languages, so I didn’t have to touch PHP. Every time I get near SQL or PHP, I start wanting to pull my hair out.
When did Mongo go proprietary?
Edit: I’m actually wanting to make my entire project open source. MongoDB’s current license, requiring all infrastructure to be open, might actually be for me.
Can I ask why? Are there errors in the append log? Does it forget things?
Not questioning your character. Just curious what your personal experiences were.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[US] When's the last time you saw a car other than red, black, blue, gray, or white on the road?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[US] When's the last time you saw a car other than red, black, blue, gray, or white on the road?
9·8 days agoI remember so many colors on the road. Greens. Oranges. Pinks. Navy. Teal. Yellows. All manner and shade of purple. Now it’s just. . . Bleh.
My aunt earned a Mary Kay pink Cadillac, and we were all so proud of her. I think people would crap themselves if they saw a pink car on the road nowadays.
It’s like the world doesn’t have a soul anymore.

Ergo, just because you unfederated something, doesn’t mean it dies.
The only issue here is whether I should be able to login to an unmoderated server with a moderated server’s account, I believe I should. Since the only content a moderator truly controls is what comes across their own server either way.
Both, my idea, and Lemmy, allow for unmoderated servers.

I’ll admit, it does play with the word broad quite a bit.
A network broadcast is meant to be received by all the computers on a LAN, but the message is still limited in scope. There were Gregg books, magazines, and cartoons at one time. Then it all just vanished.
I know this niche script that’s over 100 years old. Several other people know it too, but we don’t talk to each other in it. We don’t pass correspondence. We don’t check on each other, or tell each other about our lives. We’re completely cut off, in a world more connected than ever.
