Throwing a tantrum about what exactly? They’re one of the oldest-running Lemmy instances. Until now they were running a fork based on a pre-Federation version of the codebase.

You believe they did a bunch of work migrating their database only to then negate that work by destroying the community they wanted to Federate with?

It’s a lot more nuanced than that. The Chapo mods wanted to follow site-wide rules but reddit refused to explain what was in violation of them.

Reddit actually has a weird history of flipflopping with the banhammer.

Back in the day, the XKCD subreddit was run by a guy who linked a Holocaust denial subreddit and the red pill in the sidebar. Reddit didn’t do anything about this. In fact The Red Pill still exists.

But then when the subreddit owner closed KotakuInAction, suddenly reddit doesn’t mind interfering with the free market of ideas.

Sure, but that’s a separate argument.

Is it my fault if my coworker decides to live twice as far as I do?

I’d rather just let them sit in traffic thinking they gamed the system.

You could also share links in a Url shortened style and use that redirect to let someone select an instance or log in to another service to know where to send links. This also isn’t great.

The ideal would be a site that asks you for your instance once, saves it as a cookie, then automatically redirects you.

Lemmy.world is slowing to a crawl and barely working due to being overloaded.

I heard 0.18.4 has performance improvements.

The problem with zip is that Windows can’t open every zip file.

Might be a bit heavy, but assuming you have a good upload/GPU: Jellyfin.

1. You could trivially verify an emulated game with a checksum

2. If a game is released on GOG, there are Checksums that are hidden from the user. GOG games are DRM-free, so there’s no reason anyone would modify the installer.

How would this even be enforced?

The school has an obligation to educate students to the best of their ability.

Good luck enforcing that.

Why don’t they stop making education stupid, then?

That’s kinda historically illiterate. The reason people tolerated Capitalism in the first place was that it smashed old forms of oppression and replaced them with less bad forms of oppression.

Except h265 is only ever used for 4k outside piracy. This is because Codec licensing issues.

Once it’s conceivable to do so, it would make sense for Netflix to announce it won’t make new Netflix ports for TVs without AV1.

The issue is more political than technical. Hopefully AV1 will fix that.

I hope eventually RISC-V will become viable.

We were too good at posting. It just wasn’t sustainable.

Exactly. A lot of what the protests did was embolden Spez. He basically thinks he can do whatever he wants now, but the expression “the straw that broke the camel’s back” applies here. He’s gonna keep making unpopular decisions that eventually make the site unusable for even the casual user.

American here. Here’s the three common contexts for tipping. Everything else is something someone’s trying to make a thing rather than actually a thing:

1. Restaurants: If someone is bringing food from the Kitchen to your table

2. Delivery: If someone’s delivering food. Or they’re personally delivering groceries.

3. Transportation: If someone’s driving you personally. Like a Taxi.

Some say you should tip bathroom attendants. I’ve never even seen a bathroom attendant, but that seems like such a bizarre job to tip for, even by American standards.

Yup. That’s what I like about the Fediverse.
