The problem with this is trust. If you could seamlessly migrate like this, there’s nothing to stop someone faking a long post/comment on their own instance, making them look very legitimate and then migrating that account to a trusted/legitimate instance.
Then using that for spam/selling block chain etc.
People are the reason we can’t have nice things.
How you can have an article talking about the history of email and it not be about Ray Tomlinson, I just don’t know. Wait - now I know: This person looked up the Wikipedia article on the smtp protocol and decided Mr. Postal was the pioneer of email.
The conclusion is completely incorrect, also. About the only correct thing was that reputation is important for email transmission.
No: you can’t just set up an smtp outbound server on your home server and expect the world to trust you. For good reason: we’ve had decades of trojans and viruses taking over home PCs and sending spam. Your ISP declares its “home” IP ranges, and those are immediately not trusted.
That doesn’t mean you need to use a big email hosting provider. If you set up on a business IP range, configure your DNS Correctly with declared mx and spf records, the world will trust you (until you demonstrate that it can’t).
Millions of businesses around the world do this.
So I’ve just bought a PC. I haven’t had a new computer for 12 years. The newest game I’ve played is Subnautica (and Below Zero). I’ve basically missed everything from the last 15 years.
I own a few games that I haven’t been able to play until now (Fallout 4, Star Wars Squadrons, Witcher 3, few others). Thinking I probably have enough games in my backlog to play those and maybe look at new stuff next sale.
Surely opinions on this are going to vary wildly? Lemmy is full of people installing graphene and de-googling, while I’m happy with stock Android on Pixels with a custom launcher. Samsung, Sony and Asus all have serious devotees as well.
There’s also different responses depending on what you want in a phone. Some people want smaller than 6", others must have a 3.5mm jack. Some want SD storage. The camera is vital for me, but most of my colleagues don’t really care about the camera.
How would you sift through all that for a “best” one size fits all phone?
You might like Civ IV, it’s square tiled instead of hexagon tiles. I’ve always preferred the squares.
Well, it has an all-time peak of 23 players online and an estimated owner base of fewer than 1,000. Based purely on those stats, I assume it sucks.
It has enough owners that they’d have spread the word if it were worth looking at.
If it was that big a deal for you, why would you use a phone OS by that same company?
SMS is hot garbage:
But sure. It works for anyone on any phone.
The neat thing about Android is that you have the choice to do that. None of us understand why you want to use sms over rcs, but we love that you can.
If it were a state in Australia, it would be our third-smallest.
That’s more a statement on the USA’s tiny states than anything specific against Texas though.
I think I take exception to the adjective “bad” in the title. Failing after 45+ years in service is pretty damn good, I think.
the days of being remotely excited by phone design are way behind us. This looks like an iPhone 4 with a pixel 6+ camera bar. Meh.
I should probably know this, but why “threadverse” and not “fediverse”? The name Threadverse sounds like a Meta trademark.
Tech is short-hand for technology.
So, technology companies and technology workers.
Huh.
You are correct - there is a message in my inbox from you. I honestly didn’t realise/see it. I’ll reply privately.
Dear aussie.zone users,
I can delete photos. Just give me the url of the photo you need killed and I’ll happily delete it for you. But also, don’t (accidentally) upload a nude.

This tells you which instances are federated/blocked. Everyone should have an /instances page.
A solar system 41 light years away. We have studied seven planets on it and scientists are speculating on the reasons why we are observing atmospheric changes on one of those planets.
It amazes me. I think science fiction might have desensitised us to the concept of a light year. We are decades if not centuries from leaving our planet, but are able to observe details on planets that are so far away.
His pay was $300k something. So it was almost all stock.
Ahh, that makes all sorts of sense. The idea that he was paid $193 Million was unbelievable.
You could pay 1,000 moderators $100k for the year and still give Spez $93 Million if that were his salary.
We require an email address and a response to a question on our signups. The response doesn’t need to be more than about 5 words, it’s just to stop bots putting random characters or single words in there.
So far, it has seemed to ride that balance between low bar of entry and too hard to spam with bot applicants.
That said, if I wanted to spam the Fediverse, I’d just spin up my own instance of Lemmy or Mastodon.
I am typing this comment on a Pixel 7. I have had it for nearly two years and I have never experienced these symptoms.
The only app I can think of that doesn’t load in under a second is Asphalt Legends - and that’s because the app takes a week to load on anything.
I am very satisfied with this device, and doubt I’ll be upgrading to Pixel 9. I have no reason to upgrade.
