Might still be considered “southern Ontario”, but I’m talking 3 hours north of Toronto.

Every time I go up skiing and the weather seems horrid, I’m doing something like 40-60 in an 80 or 90 because my 3pms all seasons make it feel dicey. Yet, I get passed all the time by people going around the speed limit.

What kind of tires you guys running?

Is signing up with email forced by devs? I would like to sign up for piedfed but I don't like to include my email for, well, anything psuedo-anonymouse like social networking. I haven't been able to find any instances that don't require email (my preferred is piefed.ca)

…or GCP? …or AWS?

This guy is literally messaging people after he gets downvoted because he doesn't like the word "Bro".

"Bro" was literally used as an expression of disbelief.

You’re receiving this message because I consider the word “bro” to be offensive, and I noticed you downvoted my request that a commenter avoid using it.

I want to politely ask that you not encourage language or behaviour that could bring toxicity into !fediversenews@piefed.social .

This is a friendly warning. If it happens again, I will have to issue a ban.

Requirements:

• Must be more user friendly than LFS
• Must not be in the RHEL/IBM family/stream or derivative
• Must not be SLES or derivative
• Does not make you install a desktop environment
• Must have steam

Hopes

• Rolling release
• Has a package manager of some sort
• Doesn’t require manual intervention every six months
• Maintainers aren’t psycho

I was excited when I found out there was a link aggregator (read: I was obsessed with reddit-like forums) that divorced itself from the controversy or the alienating political idealogy of the lemmy developers.

However, other than that, I can't understand piefed.

1. The project seems unorganized. The first google result for "piefed" is the piefed.social instance and not about the project. I had to go to "About" then click on "PieFed" just to get to this link the project page. For lemmy? The first link about lemmy the project is about the project not an instance. Point to lemmy.

2. Lemmy uses rust which, like the main devs' political idealogy, may be polarizing (see Linus vs Rust Devs). Piefed uses, well, python. Yes, there is a learning curve to a new language, but rust is statically and strongly typed whereas python is duck typed. Also, it appears as though pip is one of the tools used in the installation which has been prone to supply chain attacks. Yes, more people know python. But that isn't necessarily a net positive and I wouldn't consider that if I were choosing the stack. Another point to lemmy (for me)

3. Piefed is on codeberg/forgejo. Lemmy is on github. Point to piefed.

4. Piefed doesn't have controversial devs (supposedly Lemmy does). Point to piefed.

So, as much as I want to like piefed, I'm having trouble really choosing it. Can someone add on why they use piefed over lemmy? I really want to like piefed.

Hi all, trying something different. Let me know if this isn't allowed. (Not live, don't know how to do that sorry)
