Have you seen the state of the US? A “clown world capitalist dictatorship” is a pretty apt description

Since MS forced the upgrade, you should get 2025 for free. That would probably be really easy to argue in court

That’s all fine for technically inclined people, not for the scores of tech illiterate folk that need a big “migrate” button.

Alcoholics can stop drinking alcohol. But people can’t stop eating. It’s not possible. You cannot avoid all fat, sugar and salt like an alcoholic avoids alcohol.

Yes, but the kids buying the modded devices may not be

Yes, the instance you signed up on would be the identity provider

That’s a solved problem from a technical perspective. Use OAuth. Just look at “sign in with google/facebook/github/etc”

Seems to be fixed!

You could try fedia.io if you prefer the Kbin/Mbin interface over Lemmy

ZFS isn’t built-in. I don’t know enough about btrfs to recommend it.

Bog-standard Debian with LVM. LVM can also do RAID, but you could also do mdadm below LVM if you prefer. Keep it simple.

22421382 here. I can’t believe I still know that number by heart after 20+ years.

The real people pushing this are lobbyists working for the companies that sell the monitoring software.

Definitely. But back in the day it was good for desktops. Ubuntu has never been good for servers.

I never understood why people run Ubuntu on servers. It’s madness. Ubuntu is a fork of unstable Debian packages. You don’t want unstable on your server!

Ubuntu on Desktop I can understand. Back in the days the Debian release was really long so much software was a tad outdated after a couple of years. But Debian had a much faster release cycle now, and had pretty much incorporated all the good stuff from Ubuntu and left the bad behind.

I’m not sure. Similar communities at different instances can have very different rules and vibes. There’s a reason people prefer talking politics on Beehaw versus Hexbear.

I like the Kbin solution so far. Leave communities separate but cross-link and deduplicate individual threads from multiple communities in your feed. The implementation at Kbin is still a bit flawed, but the idea is sound.

Maybe. I don’t think anyone’s thought that far ahead yet. At least the lemmy devs give hosters the option to add a click through agreement to the signup page.

You can’t rely on fair use because fair use works differently around the world, if it exists at all.

As for copyright, you agree to terms & conditions when you sign up for your fediverse account. These should include language that grants permission to use everything you submit for federation.

Federation means making copies. Hundreds of them. If you attach a copyright license to a comment then each and every instance that federates your comment would have to abide by it. That is just not possible. If you want to write stuff on the internet and copyright it, start a blog or something. By posting on the fediverse you implicitly allow copying.

Gnome refuses to implement Server Side Decorations on Wayland (because… reasons) so applications are forced to draw their own. Kitty’s decorations are very bare bones and ugly. Alacritty’s decorations match much better with the rest of Gnome.
