[Screams internally]

It’s the same with linux distros. One of the instances could get a critical mass of newbies but we will still have die-hards trying to gatekeep the entire fediverse.

Even Digg. I still remember the complaints about mrbabyman.

I wanna see the Karens losing their mind because the AI teacher dared to mention evolution.

Better start doing it now.

Tried that with my friends. They simply rolled their eyes and laughed.

It’s all part of the authentic lemmy experience.

It’s like having a discord ‘server’. Nothing gets actually talked about, noteworthy stuffs are hidden beyond layers of clunky mobile UI and everyone’s phone numbers are leaked in the process.

Piggybacking on this, I tried Fitgirl repack releases and some of them hang up during install when executed through wine or proton. I resorted to installing them from a windows boot and then execute them from linux, but does anyone have a better solution?

They went balls deep with the devil’s spawn called nprotect.

Complete the obligatory “is this a staircase or street crossing” round only to be roundhouse kicked back to the beginning.

It is every citizen’s final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people.

Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, “Ethics for Tomorrow”

Whether it’s text or video, there will always be a “Let me tell you about that time when I was on vacation” before the damn pot roast recipe or “Subscribe and play Raid Shadow Legends” followed by a 15 min padding.

Does that equate to actually deleting the Reddit account in question though? I assume only the connection is severed, but Reddit still retains the userdata from now a disconnected ghost account.

Recycled parts? That’s simply being too dumb to be alive on this world. And I thought putting a wireless xbox controller for navigating the damn sub was dumb enough.

Like any other web services, Google can see the public ip your personal invidious instance is using to access youtube servers. The local 192.168.x.x ip are for internal access.

This is why I always save contents as a new file instead of overwriting the original one when I’m using a machine that isn’t mine. I’ve been burned so many times by flimsy newline characters, proper unicode support, legacy encoding and many other stuff you assume it should be already in place.

Same happened with people using the Cloud To Butt extension which replaced every ‘cloud’ with ‘butt’ even for codes. Hilarity ensued.

Not sure if shadowbanning can work here. Wasting each instance’s limited pool of resources is not what we want to encourage.

Problem is how to read the disk, especially after generations. Will they retain the knowledge to build and operate a device for this?

Many films and tv programs survive only thanks to a total stranger keeping their own copy. For a long term survival of any media it has to be copied and distributed far and wide.
