You don’t love me.

Having summer and winter start around the same time every year is a pretty good thing to have.

You missed a /s marker

Avelon too.

As someone just learning Go, the current behaviour is really unexpected. I’m happy that they are changing it.

I can’t seem to access https://literature.cafe as well. Was there any communication about that?

Some things have gotten better, but some have gotten worse. I’ve always thought that the analogy of older flagship phones fits this perfectly.

Is your current budget android more common on the streets than a flagship from 4 years ago ever was? Yes. Does it have a comparable processor, and camera? Maybe. Is the build quality better? Hell no.

It doesn’t look half-bad but i would rather have roughly the same firefox interface on every OS than have it customized for gnome as it appears here.

Even when running an instance for yourself, you’re not really safe. The threat to your privacy goes from being a third party in control of your data to your own operational inexperience.

I tried to host my own personal Lemmy instance and ran into a lot of issues hosting it. On the one hand you want to be safe by restricting unnecessary access, but on the other hand you have no idea why federation doesn’t work, or the postfix-relay docker cannot send an email, or why you cannot ssh into your own host, so you want to just allow everything and just get it to work somehow. In the end, unless you are already an expert at this stuff, trying to host your personal instance safely is a tall task.

It’s also going to be very costly. Especially for an image sharing website like Pixelfed.

Maybe there is a market for self-service managed hosts like we have with Wordpress blogs.

Hi, I’m Dr. Mordecai Tutu on this glorious day.

In the Fediverse it isn’t possible to reserve your username. I could host a server and get something like favrion@lemmy.account so it’s unreasonable to expect that users keep the same username across instances. Reddit is more anonymous than Facebook. The Fediverse is more anonymous than Reddit.

to be is an irregular verb that takes the forms am, are, and is in the present tense. to become is a different verb which has the forms become, and becomes.

It was not.

It doesn’t help if the journalists don’t mention the Fediverse as an alternative. People will move to Discord, Facebook, Threads, or Instagram because they aren’t aware. 3 out of those 4 are owned by Meta.

I read somewhere on Lemmy that ich_iel deliberately uses wrong words four the lulz. So be careful or you’ll be learning bad grammar. Youse diggitty?

The apps are already amazing and will not suffer issues of scale themselves because they run on users’ devices. The scaling issues will be in Lemmy server code and ActivityPub in general.

ActivityPub doesn’t seem very scalable IMHO. It works well if all instances are about the same size and communities are well-distributed. Right now a few servers like lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, and lemmy.ml are much larger than others. They host most of the popular communities as well. This creates an imbalance which ActivityPub doesn’t handle well.

I think Lemmy instances should be topic based. But that’d be confusing for people coming from centralized social media who are only trying to find a reliable starting place. So I really hope we reach a point of maturity and mainstream-ness of Fediverse that people feel comfortable with smaller theme-based instances.

My theory is that we probably conflate lots of mental illnesses because they have similar symptoms. We know today how there are many unrelated reasons that can cause a blocked nose. Even though a pollen allergy and viral infection both cause sneezing and a blocked nose, the way to deal with these conditions in the long term is not the same. My gut says that we’re still early as a society in our exploration of mental health and at least some illnesses will be identified in our lifetimes as definitely being caused by the biome.

I haven’t used a PWA as regularly as i have wefwef, so I don’t know, but i read somewhere that the browser you use makes a difference.
