Hey buddy, do you want to try some of this GNU/Linux?

How many support LineageOS? Answer: a lot.

macOS definitely is Unix. In the literal sense that it is actually certified (unlike FreeBSD, for example), and it is very much Unix-y under the hood.

Definitely. Not often, but when I had them, they were strong and affected me for the remainder of the day.

Maybe for their first (genuine appearing) part, they use snippets from other, actual human comments? Because they really look quite convincing

Why should it affect LW or any other (non-Texan) instance? Any rogue country with populists at the head can implement any arbitrary legislation. That does not affect Lemmy instances hosted in countries with reasonable governments. If Texas wants to enforce their rules (or punish for non-compliance), it is on them to approach instance admins or block the site in their corner of the global internet.

Not everything is about new ways that capitalism can be painted as evil. There are valid reasons for why gluten free products are pricier, all of which have been presented in this thread.

P2P? How is that supposed to work? You cannot expect every user that uploads a video to even have remotely enough uptime for any arbitrary interested person to successfully watch their video

That would then mean that small instances would have to prove themselves before being accepted in the wider network of instances and just end up centralizing the fediverse.

Most of us want the Fediverse to eternally decentralise. Imho, this would be the optimal scenario. Whitelists would be a major obstacle to the décentralisation effort.

Sorry, but this post is ridiculous. I hope it’s irony. We are on Lemmy for our shared values and in order to uphold them. Standing up for what is important to you despite technical difficulties (especially such minor ones like the one you are dealing with) is a display of integrity. This issue should not motivate you to leave Lemmy for Reddit.

Plus if electric cars become the norm, the streets will be quiet for the first time since the industrial revolution

The sound of hooves on cobblestone is incredibly loud and annoying!

What really baffles me is modern computers. The whole assortment from mainframe batteries, desktop PCs, laptops to smartphones, watches, wireless earbuds, microcontrollers, miniaturised sensors, etc. Even the cheapest modern microcontrollers have insanely complex and tiny patterning that really speaks volumes for the amount of process control and precision in semiconductor fabs. Truly, I would call the modern IC a miracle if I wouldn’t know better. It is physics, materials science and chemistry at their best.

You cannot tell me that this is not the Onion! I would lose my faith in humanity for the billionth time…

Thank you for your contribution, that supports my suspicions. But do you know what incentive a merchant could have to not accept it? I find it weird that they would not accept SEPA direct debit when handled through PayPal, but they do accept it when there’s no intermediary.

I agree completely. Blocked the instance only now despite them becoming more and more annoying each month.

I don’t want it to have any JavaScript

That’s not going to happen. I also don’t understand why you wouldn’t want JavaScript. All the concerns with it are about the times when you access a website by a proprietary software maker and encounter obfuscated and opaque code that you can only with great difficulty reconstruct what it does. But JavaScript “in the right hands”, like on a FOSS website, is perfectly fine and even required to make a webpage that can actually do something more than simply display text or images.

I would personally attempt the Kubernetes cluster if I had that many physical machines!

They said that they DIDN’T want to go back to Reddit. As in, they do not want Lemmy to turn into what Reddit is.

They themselves said “to which I count Hamas”, this is just bad faith rhetoric on your part.

Now this is just plain racism toward Arabs. Your reasoning suggests that they are incapable of organising democratic forms of government, and that only enlightened Israelis are able to achieve that.

Cringe af. Can you please stop with the constant violent rhetoric? This does not solve any problems and instead divides humanity. You will not create a better future by killing more people.
