Typical plan to fish for a big investment from Microsoft? A shiny new M$ campus, thousands of jobs and everyone pretends this linux thing never happened.
It warns you but it doesn’t contact the police for you. It’s still up to you to assess the situation and your next steps. If you’re on a sleeper train or have any reason to believe it’s not a threat, just ignore it.
Oh I know one. The ED from Stella no Mahou. Stella no mahou is a fairly mediocre show that you may or may not decide to watch at all, and even if you did, you probably forgot all about it once the season ends. The ED is great though, it’s electronic house(might be wrong) music, rather than a standard anisong. If you’re after some EDM anisong, it won’t disappoint.
Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...
I think it’s just general fear of the command line. I’ve had a friend who always owned a mac, and started using it for his programming course. While assisting him in trying to compile some programs or use something like git from the mac’s zsh terminal, I can tell it’s a stressful event for him, even though all I told him to enter were simple commands like ls, mkdir, g++ etc.
I have a machine that runs fedora with no trouble at all. I never needed to debug anything, multimonitors and sound outputs all work. But every once in a while, something happens which can only be solved through the command line, because linux simply does not have a settings utility as extensive as windows control panel. It’s fine for me, but telling that friend to bring up the terminal and enter a cryptic line will probably freak him out.
Ever since I switched back to Android after a couple years of using an iPhone SE, i have been missing the iOS feature to open “control center” (iOS term for quick shortcuts) using a swipe up gesture from the bottom of the screen....
Screenspace outweighs it for me though. My accuracy is pretty good these days, but my assistant gestures are turned off for unrelated privacy reasons, so there might be less gestures I really need.
Kbin seems to have some trouble viewing content in lemmy, but lemmy seems to have no trouble viewing kbin content, something about federated server being incomplete. I don’t know enough about federation to diagnose the problem or who is responsible, but lemmy account sees more stuff so that’s where I went.
This is way too simple of a view. It’s about what happens to kbin. Threads will be huge and generate a lot more content. Eventually there will be people joining Kbin just to view Threads content. Kbin’s own content will never match the output of threads. That gives meta a lot of leverage against kbin.
Threads can pull an API pricing trick just like reddit, unless Kbin bends to their will. And since kbin users are just here to view threads content, they basically have to. Who knows, maybe threads will develop a new advertising platform plugin and charge API access for any platform that doesn’t agree to it. To make the money back from “lost ad revenue”.
Of course if you only care about what you see and not the fediverse platform itself, then it doesn’t matter to you.
There is one argument I’ve seen missing in most of the de/federation discussions, that I think should be mentioned, and warrants it’s own discussion....
The best part is when you read about how people would rather not talk to non-iPhone users because they can’t imessage and they don’t want to install third party chat apps like whatsapp, and also tease them about the color of the bubbles or something. But they’ll gladly install instagram or threads.
Not only do I not have the “live chat itch”, I actively get very stressed on live chat platforms and do my best to avoid it. Afaik I never had communication difficulties my entire life, but being on discord makes me feel like I do. I just have zero idea how to approach any topic, which I assume is because I cannot read facial expressions. I’ll much rather approach strangers on the street than chat on discord.
I’d like to know if anyone shares this experience it too. Live chat seems like a better option for most people.
Let me preface by saying, I would love to hear counter points and am fully open to the fact that I could be wrong and totally out of touch. I just want to have some dialogue around something that’s been bothering me in the fediverse....
I don’t know, you have a better word than that? If you want to refer to everyone from your coworkers to the supermarket cashier to your grandma, that’s a really huge and diverse group of people. The word gets the point across, that’s all that matters. If you want to use a phrase like “non-technologically inclined” or something like that, it actually sounds worse like I’m looking down on them. At least normie is self depreciating, which is more acceptable.
I assume people who use the fediverse cares in some way about federation, do they not?
It’s like going to a community yard sale, except Amazon shows up and starts doing sales with massive discounts. They’re Amazon, they’re definitely going to be better at pretty much anything, and as the clearly “better” seller, everyone’s going there. It’s not like it’s illegal or anything, users might even get to buy better stuff. But it’s not really that much of a yard sale anymore is it? And the work of the people who developed the community just goes to serve Amazon. What’s the point of keeping amazon in the yard sale anyway, they’re more than capable of maintaining a storefront of their own. People who want to shop at Amazon can just walk through the front door of amazon fresh, it’ll always be there. The yard sale maintains it’s character and culture by not expecting it’s smaller sellers to compete with a behemoth.
I tried to migrate to another instance by rejoining the same communities as this account. However I can’t seem to find some of the communities anymore through the other instance’s search page. There’s no indication that there’s any defederation going on.
I still have no idea what a proper community joining process is. I just go to the search page, type it in and scroll through the random comments until I find a link to a community.
If only I could just copy the community link, right now it’ll just open up with lemmy.world again, so I have to go through the other instance’s search page. Please let me know if there’s a guide of any kind.
Edit: Ok you need to manually type the URLs. E.g. if you wanted to open this community on lemmy.ml, type “lemmy.ml/c/fediverse@lemmy.world”
That’s a kinda clunky experience ngl. How is the average normie going to feel about appending URLs in the address bar tho.

In my understanding of the main principles of the Fediverse, federating with any large corp should never even be considered. Is my understanding wrong? What is the "idea of the fediverse" to you?
