It really seems to be getting more divisive and less welcoming on Lemmy the longer I'm here
Never tolerate intolerance.
If you don't like people making fun of a dictator on a massive killing/kidnapping spree, this place is most definitely not for you..
Having used KDE Neon for 10 minutes, I've had no issues with the trackpad..
If this is Ubuntu or KDE, dunno, but liking it so far .
Yeah exactly.
Not too fond of snap, but am trying KDE Neon now, as I'm a "experienced rookie", but still have never tried any other DE than Gnome..

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have only ever tried Gnome (and a quick test of ElementaryOS and ZorinOS), but maybe it is time to try another DE.

Currently running Fedora on my ThinkPad T14 Gen 1, but the trackpad is hit or miss. It will either work splendid, or Tap-to-Click and scrolling are working 40% of the time..
I really like Fedora, but might just return to Ubuntu, as I had no issues with the trackpad there.
Lidl is German... You don't have to live in the UK to visit a Lidl, they're all around.
As for Freeway, I've previously tried it as a friend said it was better than Coca Cola. After a sip, I poured the rest into the drain. Not for me
An AI ought to know who Harry Potter is, even if the books themselves are not the source of data..
If you prompt "Write a book about a boy wizard" and you get Harry Potter, thats where this would be an issue imo.
Well, yes, but where I'm from the topic "Donald Trump" is not a political one, it's more of a "will you look at that shit show".
A lot has changed since 2016 and I will most definitely approach every subject in a neutral state, as I feel like more and more people are getting more stupid by the hour.
Not how I view the world, but how I view USA and "citizens of the free world".
In 2016 my girlfriend and I visited New York - for me, first time visiting USA. I had a co-worker who lived in USA for most of her childhood, so I asked her if she had some advice for me to get along with people I met on my way.
"Never underestimate the stupidity of Americans".
I thought that to be rude as I had "talked" with many Americans on Reddit and sure, there were idiots, but that didn't define a person from USA for me.
We arrived in New York and took a cab to the hotel. The driver asked us "So, is Donald Trump making headlines in Europe?" (This was during the 2016 election).
I laughed and told him "Yeah, can you believe people will vote on such a moron"...
Oh no I didn't... He was furious, as Donald Trump was the Saviour of USA and he was singlehandedly going to "clean up the swamp" or whatever his catchphrase was.. and then he said one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.
"90% of Muslims are terrorists and if you don't kill them, they will kill you"..
I know not all Americans are this dumb, but I learned my lesson.... Never underestimate the stupidity of Americans.
That God was real and had existed for all eternity.
I hear what you are saying, but I'm from Denmark.. these types of law suggestions usually come when there's a focus on something, not when there's a fear of something.
The government proved during the Mohammad-drawings that they will not bend over when they are outnumbered, so I'm not too concerned that these new laws are based on fear, rather than common sense.. if suddenly the Middle East should focus on circumcision of girls is not allowed in Denmark, I don't think that would be something we suddenly would allow (and here's to me hoping that we'll soon save all the boy penises out there!)
Whaaaa.. Did you not perform your daily Bible Burning today? You should get your citizenship removed immediately!
Danish chiming in, and while I can't speak for all my countrymen we discussed the topic at work yesterday.
Everyone I talked to had the same mixed feelings.
No, we shouldn't cater to the religious groups who wants to limit free speech because they get offended over someone burning their copy of a religious book.
No, anyone shouldn't burn religious books in public to incite hate and publicly display their (stupid ass) racism.
A quote from a Danish rapper, made some years ago, is currently trending
If we want to show people of the Middle East how great "freedom of expression" is, maybe we shouldn't use it to mock people who don't have it.
So, conclusion is we are torn..
Common conclusion was that everyone should be allowed to burn anything that is legal to burn on their own property. When you take that action into the public, it's okay that it's regulated..
If it's okay that that regulation only applies to religious books... don't know.
Hi everyone
I am pretty new to all of this, so I'm currently in what I consider my "sandbox phase" of hosting a Lemmy instance.
Before promoting my instance to others I want to ensure that it's working as it should and federation is quick and "in sync" with the major instances.
Looking at the logs I see federation is at it and working at approx 4-8 req/s - but is there a way to speed this up?
Would more workers (and thus more cores on the server) in postgres speed things up? Or perhaps more parallel workers?
As stated I'm pretty new to this, and when searching for similar questions on lemmy/github I can't seem to find the answer to this specific question - it's usually implied that one should know all of this before hosting.
I've looked into how postgres is working, but am unsure if this is the only parameter that can be changed to speed up federation.
