I don’t know why I keep hearing of security measures to stop someone sleuthing into bootloaders.

Am I the only person using Linux who isn’t James Bond?

Arch, Void, Arch, Gentoo, Arch, Arch,…you’re all making me feel like a basic removed.

People who want near-perfect distribution of power often talk about the serverless model. It’s sounds like it might work for something like e-mail, but I don’t see how it’s possible for something like Lemmy. This comment it cached on every instance with one person who follows it.

Atm, keeping Lemmy going for a couple of days might require 50 Gigabytes and lots of bandwidth. If you put that on a mobile phone, it’ll be a 50 Gig app, which will drain all your data in minutes.

But I think chatboards work well with servers, so it doesn’t seem like a problem.

Having ‘no single source of truth’ is part of the joy.

If you’re not happy with /r/cars moderators banning everyone who drives a Skoda, then you’re out of luck. Here in federation land, you can just go to a different lemmy.something/c/cars place.

Of course you can still follow and interact with all the /c/cars communities from any Lemmy instance (and interact a little from Mastodon).

Nah - each service (Mastodon/ Pixelfed/ Kbin) requires its own app.

You can sign up to Mastodon, then follow the rest from there, but the experience won’t be complete (no downvotes, for example).

I think that setting works on a per instance basis. No need to worry.

Lemmy’s so new that I think a lot of people are still unsure how to curate their feed.

“Never ascribe to malice, what can adequately be ascribed to stupidity”

€30? Absolute joke. I can’t imagine these guys make many sales.

This stuff never gets deleted

Even within Reddit communities, a lot of posts ended up in multiple places, and the ‘crossposting’ function seemed off to me, because everyone voted on and commented in different places.

I wonder if a ‘tag’ system wouldn’t work better, where a post shows up under multiple hashtags. This way, a picture could go under ‘#sea #thalassophobia #submarines #pictures’ all at once.

If everyone votes on the same post, posts would receive negative attention for inappropriate tags (I’m assuming that people would downvotes pictures of cats which had the #dogs hashtag).

You can sell accounts?

How on earth would you do that anyway? Do I go onto Amazon, or just my local fruit market?

I’ll add that most people think Noah took two of each animal onto the ark. It was seven of the male and female of the clean animals, and two of the male and the female of the unclean animals.
