What is a “feg”?

deleted by creator

I’m fully aware of what the word means, but I’m sick of it being used so often. There are plenty of other words in the English language to describe the situation.

I get that “enshitification” is the hot new buzzword but cold we please give it a rest. Reading this community you start to think that people can’t express that the Internet is not to their liking in any other way.

Because they are a karma farmer.

I pirate things knowing that I own them… All my old TurboGraphx HuCard roms. I would rather play on modern hardware.

That is a fantastic idea! (I did this with my old retired desktops for years before I finally built a dedicated machine)

“They” = companies with money to invest and profits to be had.

Hear me out - you could run, like, a sneaker-net but with cargo ships!

How would you propose connecting to a mesh network without the use of an ISP? Are you thinking wireless (wifi)? For something like that to work you would need an AP/repeater every 150 feet or so. How would you cross oceans without bouncing wireless signals off the ionosphere (creating latency issues) or using a cable (requiring some entity to maintain it - $$$)?

If you break it down into the requirements to do such a thing you can start to understand why your question is a bit ridiculous.

If you post to a community that is hosted on a different server, your post is still stored on your home server. The community server is basically just the aggregator. If the community or server goes down the posts are still hosted on their respective home servers.

Excuse my misunderstanding. I thought that Fedora was based on RHEL and didn’t realize the reality was closer to being exactly the opposite.

Im not sure which browser you use but Brave on Android had a setting called “night mode” that was turned on by default. Turning it off fixed the problem.

I’m using a web app (brave mobile browser) to view Lemmy. Android is set to dark mode and all the apps respect that setting. I have never visited Hacker News with this browser.

That being said: why the fuck would Asahi go with a Red Hat distribution!?

EDIT: found the setting that was causing the problem: “night mode” was activated by default on Brave.

My server is up to date, must be a bug somewhere still.

EDIT: seems that most of the month old posts showing up are from one particular user at beehaw

EDIT2: and now it appears to be working properly (at least there are no month-old zero-comment posts on the first page.)

Still showing month old posts with 0 comments for me. Maybe need to wait for all the servers to update before we see a real improvement?

User bans do federate. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1298

It would be nice if there were a way to hide a post directly. As it currently works I am either required to actually view the post or vote on it. That’s fine by itself, but the majority of the posts I choose to view are posts that I would prefer they stick around for a while so I could reread or share with others. Same thing goes with upvotes, don’t want a post to disappear because I liked it. Maybe the behavior of hiding on voting should only work with down votes so we don’t have to bookmark every post out of a fear of losing it. Honestly, I just want a hide button.

I’ve been waiting for the alternate UI’s to start popping up. This seems like an interesting project and I’ll definitely test it out once it’s ready for that, unfortunately I’m not much of a coder even though I try.

Bought a book/CD combo from Borders for SUSE Linux when I was in middle school around 2003. Installed it but then went back to windows when I realized networking didn’t work.
