A multi-community groups outputs of multiple communities into one entity that you can subscribe to and browse.

Nice.

I’ve been keeping an eye on the multicommunity issue and that getting merged was a nice notification.

Thinking of further use cases, maybe a multicommunity could be used as an “Instance curated” option in addition to All/Local/etc. Because frontpages of topic-specific and regional instances seem to all be dominated by us politics.

A steamos device should be very much plug and play. I don’t know how good this would be in practice, but with a few clicks, non-steamos linux can be set to boot straight into steam’s tv interface, which has the necessary ui for power off, system updates, etc.

This is all subjective, but because of nintendo’s bs, switch 2 is their first console I have almost zero interest getting. If your kids specifically really want the switch, they’ll be disappointed by anything else, but if not, I recommend looking into steam deck or other linux handhelds. There are lots of good PC games that fit the bill. Because of indie devs, the selection is should be a lot larger even.

Native is the New Normal?

That would be nice, if it works out as I’ve been wishing for.

Pretty much. Rust is very strict and explicit about everything, while typescript lets you kinda jam things together in ways that are very convenient but harder to keep track of in your head.

This should be funny but somehow it doesn’t do it anymore

There should be some tolerance. I used the builtin recovery mode though, so it got the time from network.

At that price point, something used and not particularly recent. Even an old laptop will be good performance-wise, but not necessarily storage-wise.

However, buying a laptop to run at home might not be the most reliable or economical way to host Lemmy: you can rent a virtual server for not much, provided that you have access to a computer to remotely access the server with.

I have zero experience with YunoHost, so I don’t know how that may or may not limit the options. Probably the most common way is to use Lemmy-Ansible. It’s easy (well, relatively speaking) and is maintained by the actual lemmy devs themselves. Managed services (ones where you don’t have to deal with the server) should also exist for lemmy, but I’ve never used them.

I’ve had that unhelpful error popup blocking os install. In my case it was bad system time. Check the clock.

Because “biological weapons development” sounds a d v a n c e d

When instances federate, they don’t send old content. Old content will be fetched if a user tries to open it, for example by clicking a link to an old post (on some apps) or pasting its url into the search box.

The data copied to the other instance will stay on the other instance, unless manually deleted for some reason.

Officially:
No.

Unofficially:
Maybe, but the downsides are jank, security, and that you’re relying on Apple not killing access for “unauthorized” software.

Alternative:
Use a cross-platform solution, like Bitwarden

This sounded off, so I checked the docs.

…downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

Intentionally blurring the line between ads and user posts. Same stuff as always.

It promotes downvoted posts?

Hey, they didn’t fuck everything up!

As much as I wish votes could be private, obfuscating them would make troll instances harder to notice. I think I hate it the most that the current model gives the illusion of being private, when it isn’t.
