Yeah, this happens a lot, especially when I’m tired. Luckily, I usually leave cues for myself so that I remember what I was doing.

I think it’s really cool here. The people have been mostly friendly, the communities I’m following are decently active, and new features are being added every day. I honestly have very few complaints.

Not just that, but the code contributed to Lemmy by this debugging will make Lemmy run faster for everyone on every instance, which is makes the ecosystem that much better.

For the companies, it’s usually a case of weighing how much adding the feature will cost vs. how much they’ll expand their market by adding it. For Fairphone, their whole schtick is that their phones are repairable and upgradeable, so in this case it’s that they’ve determined that there’s enough demand in the U.S. market to justify the cost of entry, as they’ve already added the features. In this case, the majority of people will probably not purchase a Fairphone, but that’s not their goal, they occupy a market niche.

Indeed. It also reduces the cost to do the repairs, which is good for everyone.

You’re correct, of course, but these types of communities tend to be occupied by people outside of the mainstream who care more about these issues. Also, I think it’s important people have the freedom to repair the technology they own even if the majority of people will choose not to, having the ability is still important.

Not at all. The admins here are doing great work and their updates are often informative and helpful, it makes sense you’d look forward to them.

I’m on another instance, but here’s some federated activity for you.

Nah, they’ll ban leftism and trans people either way. It’s not like the Weimar Republic banned Nazism, and yet Hitler still banned every other political party and did the Holocaust. Fascist ideologies must be strangled in the cradle, so punching Nazis is fine.

The instances vary. Some are currently federating better than others, the servers that are currently in higher loads are dropping activity more often and not syncing as well.

Here’s the source for all those interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/aa4tga/yay_syu_permission_denied/. I don’t want to draw people back to Reddit, but I think it’s important to credit those I got the information from.

Yes, here’s a link for you: https://lemmy.world/post/872278. /c/[email protected] is the new community for it.

Because the goal was to ban third party apps and they don’t want people trying to dodge it. u/spez seems to be personally offended by their existence and wants them gone.

Yeah, given enough time sometimes one of the standards will win and kill the others, it kinda just depends (in part on luck)

Yeah, I think this is done to provide the illusion of choice. The rate limits are high enough to allow personal emails through, but for any mass emails or corporate emails this forces you to use Google. Unfortunately a standard corporate strategy, it’s why corporate office suites are so generic and tend to be from one of the big companies.

I’ll be honest, I own so many games from the last sale that I’m probably going to sit this one out. I have something like 140 games, and of those the majority are on my backlog, so I won’t be running out any time soon.

As long as you have a domain or IP address for the instance, the apps should be able to connect to it.

That’s a sitewide setting, most apps and the main site have it.

It’s good to see the rapid development. Lemmy is very quickly developing a thriving ecosystem.

Yeah, this place sort of just has a better spirit right now. I hope it’s able to hold onto this vibe as it grows.
