    The views on lemmygrad are very much outside the general acceptable norms for the English speaking internet.

    Even if you agree with their views, you must admit that it is very off putting for most people who come to Lemmy.ml.

    I think the purpose of a default instance should be to showcase the software, not to showcase the current community (which is dominated by lemmygrad users right now)…

    I think either:

    1. We should have a new default instance.
    2. Have no default instance.
    3. Lemmy.ml should stop federating with lemmygrad.

    Personally I have been using and promoting Lemmy less because I find the lemmygrad content off putting. I feel a similar way about this content as I did about place like r/thedonald in 2016.

    This community exists as a sort of sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

    I think both communities exist for the following reasons:

    • to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
    • to discuss and promote alternative transport methods

    I’m very uncertain about what content is allowed here and I think if the sidebar could specify a bit more that’d be nice.

    yeah the sidebar could be a bit more clear. I will update it later today.



    • Find people on your course that can help you and that you can help. Teaching something you know to classmates helps you learn. There is a saying “one teach, two learn” and it is true.
    • Try to review the content of a lecture before attending the lecture. Even if it is a fast 5 minute skim of the material it will help you
    • Try to get an overview of the course at the start, again a quick skim might take an hour or so, but the content will be more familiar when you get around to it.
    • For maths and science Khan academy is really useful.
    • There is a short course on Coursera called ‘Learning how to learn’ that includes some of the above points, it is worth checking out.



  • when those modules only fit in their proprietary chassis.

    Other laptops are not designed to be modular so will not work with the framework modules. All the framework modules are usb c so they will work with any usb port on any other laptop. They will work, they will just stick out from the body of the laptop.

    Not to mention are just USB adapters.

    I think this is a good thing because they are using an open standard that can be used with other laptops (that have a usb c port).





  • So you are saying making it more modular would increase waste? I disagree.

    That plastic would mostly exist anyway in a normal device, the difference here is:

    • if one port breaks it can be easily replaced
    • if the laptop as a whole breaks the port can be recovered and used elsewhere
    • if you are missing a port that is critical to your needs you can just buy the new port instead of a whole new laptop.

    These things mean there will be less consumption compared to a normal device.
