  • I’d say because it’s still new and the content is very nerd heavy as you have probably seen from all the Linux posts. Also, most user’s here come from the reddit exodus after the removal of third party apps.

    One other thing is that when you link content from Lemmy you can just link the image directly instead of sending a link to Lemmy with a login screen. The adoption rate from people linking will be a lot lower since Lemmy is not sacrificing quality to increase numbers.

    Either way, I like the size and it suits me, I can “finish” my Lemmy for the day in a reasonable amount of time and I get my fix of Linux news, memes and shitposts so it’s just a win for me.

    I have cooked pasta 100s of times and I prefer it broken. Long pasta in annoying when you twirl it on a fork since you get often too much too little.

    Also nice that the cooking is standardised so you can test a single pasta and know it’s a representative sample.

    And if your pot size is small, it takes a lot longer than a couple of seconds to soften enough to push it in.










  • I was working at a hotel job part time while doing a bachelor’s business degree when I finished the exam prep up to a point where I didn’t see a benefit and tried out codecademy.

    I had an incredibly pure joy of just creating shitty webpages and doing assignments, learned some javascript and then it hit me.

    I started a compsci degree, stopped working and got some student loans and overkilled every programming assignment. I basically thought “If programming is the most valuable part, I’m just gonna max it at the cost of everything else” and it was a fantastic choice.

    I applied to all the jobs in Iceland, nobody took me in so I started applying to bunch of jobs in all of Europe. Ended up landing my first job in Germany and that’s where it my career started.
