I couldn’t agree more. I appreciate how easy it is to set up Nextcloud integration in Online Accounts as well. I think many people lose sight of the fact that while Gnome may be lacking certain features, or “isn’t customizable”, it is very approachable for the non technical person.

it’s less a matter of disagreeing (people disagree all the time) and more a matter of knowing what to expect.

I think this is really what it boils down to. It’s not that the lemmy.ml admins should be forced to moderate in a way that they don’t agree with. Rather, users, especially new users, should be aware of the rules surrounding their moderation policies.

Lemmy.ml is the most likely starting place for new users. The critique by pineapple serves as a PSA to new members that they need to be aware that in a federated system each instance has its own rules and moderation policies. Users information to make informed decisions about the instances and communities that they want to partake in.

Why would anyone stay on an instance that can’t interact with a huge chunk of the fediverse? Only the most passionate beehaw-ers will stay there. Most will likely leave to more accessible pastures.

Maybe this is the point. They’ve taken this extreme action to drive their non core users into other instances. This leaves only the users that want to be part of their more isolated instance, which seems to be their goal. Low volume, high quality discussions within their own community.

I’d love to be able to finish a task witho-

Man that coffee pot is gross, better go clean it.

So, let me get this right, you don’t fold your clothes? Rather you just crumple them up and put them in the drawer?

I never thought of this as a viable solution but I am going to try it out! Folding laundry is my #1 chore left undone. I end up “living out of the basket” and nothing is ever done.

We typically keep our house at 68F in the summer, and in the winter it’s 63F during the day, 55F at night. We like it on the chilly side.

Your totally right.

I’ve been successfully posting in communities at lemmy.ml from lemmy.sdf.org, so I’m not sure what might be happening there. I was able to find Midwest.social/c/chicago from the sdf instance search. The URL should work, but you are also able to use the format !community@instance.tld (!chicago@midwest.social). The search does take a long time to fetch the results from an external instance, and there is no loading animation, so after a minute or two the results will change from “no results found” to displaying the community.

That’s my understanding as well, it was a joke about correlation != causation.

I used Safari to “Add to Home Screen”. It isn’t a real app but it has it’s own icon and acts like one.

Thanks for introducing me to this, PipedLinkBot.

I am uncounted, but next month I will be active!

I think some sort of p2p solution would be really cool. You could basically allocate a certain amount of storage on your server and images would be stored and grabbed by peers as needed. Something like BitTorrent where multiple peers have the same content to reduce load. Not sure if it already exists or is even practically possible.

A recent job change caused me to revert back to my old G-Shock watch instead of my Apple Watch. I was setting the time and date and noted that the date “only” goes up to the year 2039. Even though it is already over 20 years old, I fully expect this watch to work well past 2039; I have no expectation that the Apple Watch will. Even if it technically functioned, the software and protocols would have been long abandoned.

The way I see it community is just that, a community. It is not a place where people gather, but instead it is a collection of people. You are not limited to meeting your friends in a particular place, you can meet them in a variety of different places, but still be a part of the community. There may be multiple /c/askhistorians, so sub them all and you will be a part of the community in them all. I hope that makes sense.

Yeah, I see a lot of comments about ipfs. I’ll be checking it out.

That’s interesting, in Memmy I see the instance name underneath user name in all comments.

I thought this for the longest time. My family’s first computer was a Compaq Presario 850 which ran Xerox TabWorks software. I had a completely different view of windows 3.1 than most people, and had no idea.

You’re Welcome!

I was using this and liked it a lot, but I don’t think it supports notifications. For that I set up RSS notifications to NetNewsWire.
