If Europeans (in general) love sleeper trains, why are there so little of those? Even in Russia, sleeper trains are still the main and preferred way of transportation between most regional centers (for the majority of travelers I would say it is "default" one), while in the EU most destinations are not even covered by a sleeper. I hope new companies like "European Sleeper" blossom because I personally prefer sleepers very much, but to say "Europeans love those" is untrue, since it is still mostly something exotic.

It has built in package manager now (winget install Mozilla.Firefox would install Firefox on clean Win11 installation).

Declassified (by the US) documents mention that Putin wanted to join without waiting in queue with "insignificant countries" (in early 2000s, who would that be? Baltic countries?), and as late as 2012 there was a contract for usage Russian airport as transit hub to Afghanistan (https://m.gazeta.ru/..., was looking specifically for pro-Russian media as a source)

But what about Linux distributions compiled without GNU tools? Most popular Linux distribution's kernel currently is compiled with Clang, not GCC, and as far as I am aware does not include anything from GNU. Of course Linux is historically influenced by GNU, but in current day and age they are orthogonal

Same-ish that would happen to your email account if your email provider dies. You would lose your account, but your interactions on other servers would be saved

FFXIV also has this model, and tbf, every sub-based MMO. ESO, for instance, also requires you to buy latest expansions to be able to play it.

It has currency conversion, but it expects specific format

I am switching between Sync for Lemmy and ReVanced clients for Reddit, generally since Lemmy doesn't have enough content that is interesting for me (ff14 community is basically dead on Lemmy, random maghjong riichi content is not there on Lemmy, world/news is basically the same as my meduza feed instead of random "what's around the globe", specific/non-general memes are not there, discussions are not active).
I hope it improves with time. I much prefer the notion of ActivityPub than that of centralized SM, but I guess the only real way forward is to force content gatekeepers to implement open apis...

How is Tailscale different from ZeroTier in this setup?

That is an entirely different argument which I did not contest and the comment I have answered to did not make

EDIT: Although, it depends on what we define as "bigger". Binary size is certainly bigger, but user adoption is abysmal comparatively.

Hey, @sunaurus@lemm.ee, would it be possible to have different frontends, like old on lemmy.world?

Finished FF16 recently, a great experience, but somewhat disappointed that there aren't superbosses in the base game Now going through Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, and the influence from PLvsPW cannot be underestimated

On Android I use Re:Work, like interface the best. Before that I have used previous app from the same developer (I think it was Nine mail?).

On Windows I really disliked Thunderbird, so currently testing out emClient.

how do things like the feeds work?

So what actually happens under the hood is when one instance communicates first time with another instance it builds some local cache of that remote instance. Then, when you open "All", you get everything from your local instance + things cached/requested from other instances. Admins can defederate an instance, in which case you would not see anything from it.

Since there's no algorithm is everything from Lemmy.world only going to show up on the popular feed (if I'm on that instance) or can other things like lemmy.ee or whatever also show up?

Everything federated will show up.

And can I comment on posts from a different instance or does that vary per instance?

If federated, you can both see and post both posts and comments on any instance from your home one.

could Lemmy theoretically allow content from those instances to be cross-posted here?

It could. More than that, Mastodon users currently can both subscribe to Lemmy instances and post/comment. It looks kinda weird since they mention post author/community or whomever they answer to in a comment, since they see it as if it looked like Twitter.

Why would I discount the most popular applications of the kernel? That is almost the whole userbase

In my experience 1/3rd of StB is the 3rd common point of burnout, because relatively nothing happens, Lyse is unbearable and the whole thing is like an exposition without substance (villians do not make sense since the player have already interacted with Ascians, which are obviously the real villians in every circumstance).

Well, StB itself is really just an exposition for wider world, as ARR was for Eorzea. Ascians plotline is obviously the main one and is the centerpiece of ShB and is basically resolved in EW. The exposition is long because the story itself is enourmous.

That's not exactly true, we also watched Krtek and Nu Pogodi in out childhoods, and both nations are considered "glum" (as never smiling) and cynical (and the correlation between being educated and being cynical, sometimes to the point of dark humor), relatively recent urbanisation. Otherwise, yes, of course, things are different, there is almost as much common with Bulgaria or Croatia
