what? the benefit is clearly adding a whole day to rest, if you’re fried after 8 hours, the additional 2 isn’t going to feel better worse, but you’ll gain a whole day to rest. I always am tired on days where I work over 8 hours, but so happy I get another full day off.

I can see it in liftoff and lemmy.world mobile site, so could be a Jerboa problem

I’m not sure if it was as much of that and more so people who didn’t wanna go to another instance were complaining about how they essentially locked that name just because they throught the reddit android mods should be the true successors and some were very against the idea of just giving control to ex reddit mods. I didn’t notice it took off again either but people were really calling on the admins to replace them

I wonder if that’s the point, I mean it probably is abit much to be the biggest name and have a lot of people attempting to join. That was the whole goal was small narrow focus instances, so by intentionally provoking members that tend to be more techy and understand how to change instances, they’re pushing them to help grow other instances and help limit flow into lemmy.world.

Or not, I wonder if soon it’ll make sense if instances become more democratic and allow member voting (that have been apart of the server for some time) for decisions like this, people will be mad either way (especially with only two options of fed or defed) but letting it be clear that the people are ok with it.

With federation, the content is shared between servers, that’s the act of federation. It downloads the posts from the other instance. So it would then be stored on lemmy.world, the only way to stop that is to defederate. The mobile apps mostly solve this problem as you can view content from lemmy.world and choose to add other instances, but the browser version isn’t setup to work that way, so it’s less than perfect, but it’s supposed to be easy for this content to exist all on its own and only show to other users in a single place when they want that. So if the admin team is afraid the largest community on a small and growing platform won’t have the means to fight a legal battle no matter if it is legal or not (I’ve been hearing a lot of legals), I get their reaction. hell reddit could easily target and crush Lemmy.world in court if they wanted to kill the platform. It isn’t much work as unfortunate as it is to go to that instance for that content

I think it’ll be tough to find that corner of it… I think I saw a conservative community on lemmy.world but the platforms original purpose was to get away from the big, controlling, capitalist social media platforms the likes of Twitter, Instagram, reddit, etc. Like mastodon, the largest part of the fediverse (I’m pretty sure), grew alot when twitter was brought by Elon, and more moved after he messed up the platform enough, saying they’ll create their own platform where hate won’t be allowed. It’s kinda against it’s nature to have much conservative-ness.

Not trying to be rude as based on how this sounds, you seem nice enough and not crazy, but places like mastodon are basically the left’s version of “Truth social” where people are pretty ok with saying “I don’t want those thoughts spread here” those thoughts they don’t want are usually things like homophobia or transphobia, but those are fairly common on the right even if you don’t share them.

It’s an interesting thought and would probably be alittle healthier, but hey you’re still here being able to provide that counter point of view

If you got any programming skills, Lemmy’s code is open source and improvements to these expensive calls (or just any call) would most likely help the server. I’m also sure moderation tools would probably make their job easier and just improvements to the platform as a whole would probably help (more users, more possible donations, especially if it gets closer to platforms like reddit)

But without any technical skills like that, probably just helping communicate stuff like this, like if someone’s complaining, explaining this, is probably the best you can do (and it ain’t much)

I know it feels like its that often, but its actually still in the upper 90s atleast according to the status site, and its 89% for the last week on an external status page (which probably sees its up by attempting to load the page so its probably close to real life data)

I agree, we can just let it be a free for all but maybe someday we’ll do around events or something, so there are themes for everyone to try following (like around Christmas, the Linux community does a penguin with a Santa hat)

I know you dissed cloud gaming, but Xbox cloud gaming has actually worked fairly well for me personally on my steam deck, and for the most part (after some config), runs nearly as good as inhome streaming, which 99% of the time I can’t even tell isn’t running on device. I’ve also messed with Nvidia gforcenow and Amazon luma and those could fill a pretty big Linux compatibility gap if I solely gamed on Linux (probably using a controller or steam deck due to xcloud gaming not supporting mouse or keyboard input yet but it’s progress). I even figured some interesting things you can do with steam regarding that, in addition to Microsoft’s instructions on adding xcloud gaming to steam deck, like setting up different launch options to handle different users under different Microsoft accounts, directly linking a game (having a non steam game called Fortnite with a custom icon that launches xcloud gaming 's url for that game and boots right into it) and some others to make it more enjoyable but just like everything on Linux you gotta tinker with it. The “no native gamepass” is a big deal to me lately, it’s actually a pretty nice service and I remember seeing posts a few years ago talking about windows store format version of proton which would allow gamepass to run natively on Linux but I think we’re still awhile form that happening.

A big one for me and the main reason I haven’t started using Linux full time, and I’m sure it’s in your points but not called out directly but anti cheat support is terrible on Linux. I own a steam deck and I used to play Fortnite with my wife and her brothers and it can technically run it (it worked on windows and install), and even if you use proton to run the windows version, I’ve heard their anticheat can straight up ban you because “Linux isn’t a supported os at this time”. It’s not that their anticheat doesn’t work on Linux or is missing a proton extension, but solely epic doesn’t want to so they aren’t supporting it. This is fairly common with big multiplayer games, like Fortnite, halo, call of duty, battlefield, and alot of others. It’s a pain since proton is built as a “use at your own risk, may not work 100% but it works atleast” and some companies actively refuse to allow that. The only way I’ve been able to play any of those games is by either cloud gaming or in home streaming which isn’t available sometimes. So until Linux doesn’t have that limitation in gaming, where alot of major triple A titles actively refuse to work solely cause it’s Linux, I can’t switch my personal PC to Linux as I already got my steam deck for Linux gaming, and my windows desktop as a backup.

You have to remember that until recently, there was sub 100 daily users, this wasn’t a big platform, and it wasn’t just lemmy.ml, but a bunch of <10 user instances.

It wasn’t worth paying for a small side project until it wasn’t and at that point it was too late, plus who would have predicted that the gov of Mali would forcefully take back all of their domains?

No in some cases, they pay you to use power in an attempt to keep the frequency stable. it takes time to ramp up or down power generation so the time where there’s almost too much power, the rate goes negative to attempt to level it out

It’s mainly happening during mid day where people aren’t home and using power and when solar is at its peak

Oh shit, these aren’t real pictures? That’s crazy, I remember like a year ago where human faces looked all messed up… I can’t even notice any parts that look incorrect anymore

I think they meant like “overloaded”, like a hose spraying water, but the water being users from all around the fediverse

it may be worth putting a bug request on the activitypub github, because I agree that could become a huge problem, but its also alot of work to implement because most instances will need to update to the newest activitypub standard once they approve a new version of the standard.
