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?

Same here

That’s a really clean solution, and works well with the Side Quest system in the book (there’s an explicit system).

Of course it’ll mean a boat-load of additional Story Points: 7 quests completed = 7 Story Points, but I think the plot can handle all the side-characters and locations as long as they’re small boons, rather than a full Deus Ex Machina.

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

I just made a lemmy.world account after hearing about the mods on lemmy.ml, but when I posted a picture of winnie the pooh, the comment was deleted, and I was marked as a bot. And it sounds like beehaw’s not open for new registrations.

Oh well, guess I’ll be a tankie now. :/

Well it worked last time. Truthsocial.com is still up.

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.

It was removed, and I was marked as a bot.

I am not a bot!

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).

It’s all a little arbitrary. When you create a new service (like Lemmy, or Mastodon), you can have them link with anything, in any fashion you like. The defaults are mostly sensible.

For example, I’ve just made a mastodon post asking /r/casual a question. Once that synchronizes across, you’ll see the topic over there.

Tbf, maybe a shitstorm of racist rants will make advertisers pull their ads, and start a bunch of bad press.

Maybe /r/conservative were playing 4D chess all along.

Not everyone gets the joke in real life either.

Sarcasm is how undercover British police catch foreigners. They make little comments, and when someone takes them seriously, BAM - deportation.

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

Yea, always hated that one.

maybe Elon musk will save the children /YET I SPEAK FALSLY FOR HUMOROUS EFFECT AS MUSK WILL IN FACT NOT SAVE ANY CHILDREN

You’re stepping on the joke, once by mentioning it, and again by ripping out the best thing about low-key sarcasm: that some people don’t get the joke.

Frankly, its racist against the British.

It’s a different thing. E-mail, Matrix, and ActivityPub are all different protocols. Mastodon and Lemmy both exist on the ActivityPub (i.e., the Fediverse).

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.

A couple of your links are broken.

This page links here: http://www.dbzer0.com/about/personal/reading/

Did you put in a relative link instead of an absolute link perhaps?
