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?

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.

The bigger problem with Windows is that the Steamdeck has some great battery optimization settings that seem like they’d be a pain to implement.

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?

Just use a Degoogled Android phone.

At the very least, better filesystem level compression support. A somewhat common usecase might be people who use emulators. Both Wii U and PS3 are consoles where major emulators just use a folder on your filesystem. I know a lot of emulator users who are non-technical to the point that they don’t have “show hidden files and folders” enabled.

Also your average person wouldn’t necessarily need checksums, but having them built into the filesystem would lead to overall more reliability.

The last update to NTFS was in 2004.

The fact that ReFS doesn’t even support all the features NTFS does is pathetic.

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.

“Oh but what about the criminals, terrorists and pedos?”

What about the Windsors?

Check out Isthereanydeal. Tells you other stores that sell a game as well. You can import your wishlist.

As someone who doesn’t play a lot of AAA games, it’s legitimately gripping. Enough that I bought it on both PS5 and PC/Deck. Granted it was on sale both times.

I got a $20 Hub and wouldn’t recommend it. For whatever reason the USB parts didn’t work.

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.
