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?

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

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).

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.

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?

Yea, we got some growing pains. I hope Lemmy.ml has prepared for Monday. If the tinyest percentage of Reddit comes along (and I’ve been mentions of Lemmy in many subreddits) then this place will experience a deluge.

This stuff never gets deleted

Judging by the IP address, lemmy.ml seems to be located in France. That’s not fantastic for take-down notices, as far as I’m aware.

I’m in Serbia, land of the free, home of the torrents. I don’t know if there are VPS providers here, but if so, it’s a good country for hosting anything but government criticism (not that you’d need to criticize Vućić the benevolent, long may he reign).

I’ve just pulled up Shingeki no Kyojin. Works fine.

I’m using version 4.4-1 on Arch Linux.

Even within Reddit communities, a lot of posts ended up in multiple places, and the ‘crossposting’ function seemed off to me, because everyone voted on and commented in different places.

I wonder if a ‘tag’ system wouldn’t work better, where a post shows up under multiple hashtags. This way, a picture could go under ‘#sea #thalassophobia #submarines #pictures’ all at once.

If everyone votes on the same post, posts would receive negative attention for inappropriate tags (I’m assuming that people would downvotes pictures of cats which had the #dogs hashtag).

I’ve used ani-cli a few months ago, and it worked then.

Why so many apps just for watching anime?

You can sell accounts?

How on earth would you do that anyway? Do I go onto Amazon, or just my local fruit market?

I don’t think there’s much need to repost between communities. Click on the main page, and you can see “| Subscribed | Local | All |”, and in ‘all’ you’ll be able to see other Lemmy instances and interact with those communities without making an account there.

I’m not sure if you can make posts on another instance though…

I should clarify that there’s no karma, because there are very few users. Once there are more people, some users will try to make a bot which farms karma, for the usual reasons.

Reposting definitely serves some useful function, but too much reposting from Reddit will just make Lemmy feel like a cheap knock-off. At this early stage, I feel like new content and chat works better, but that’s just an intuition.
