  • It depends on the community, but in general people on Lemmy love FOSS. The linux community is very helpful and friendly (although headstrong). Moderation depends on your instance (.ml is quite politically motivated). Privacy on the platform is non existent due to how the software works, but in general, people here do care about privacy related topics.





  • It’s a lot more than that. Soil chemistry will teach you where to look for viable grow sites and what kinds of inputs to add as you go to keep the yields abundant. Ag/chemistry will also teach you about nitrogen fixing plants like legumes and how to crop cycle effectively (if you are monocropping which has its own downsides). Ag will teach you about how climate affects what you can plant and for what times of the year they will be worth growing. Genetics will teach you how to acclimatize non native plants over multiple generations of selective breeding. This is barely touching the surface of the knowledge that can empower you in an off grid setting regarding food production from plants and trees.



  • Debian is the most stable distro and downstream loads of distros rely on Debian being clean. This dev has to be strict if they want to maintain the status quo. Rather let the user DL this as a standalone package and still use it, instead of it being included by default with the possibility of breaking.

    And another thing. Version pinning should be normalized. I just can’t bend my mind around code which has to be refactored every 12 - 24 months because dependencies were not version pinned and a new thing broke an old thing. Unless this code is your baby and you stare at every day, constantly moving forward, you should write code that lasts.
