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 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?

I’d say neither car looks good.

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.

I hope eventually RISC-V will become viable.

We were too good at posting. It just wasn’t sustainable.

I think the problem is finding communities that are what you actually want. The killer feature of reddit was that you could find a subreddit for basically any niche.

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.

American here. Here’s the three common contexts for tipping. Everything else is something someone’s trying to make a thing rather than actually a thing:

1. Restaurants: If someone is bringing food from the Kitchen to your table

2. Delivery: If someone’s delivering food. Or they’re personally delivering groceries.

3. Transportation: If someone’s driving you personally. Like a Taxi.

Some say you should tip bathroom attendants. I’ve never even seen a bathroom attendant, but that seems like such a bizarre job to tip for, even by American standards.

Yup. That’s what I like about the Fediverse.

I still see a legacy of that when a forum for game modding requires you create an account to download.

If only mobile Firefox had even a little bit of extension support.

Regarding AMP: Do people hate AMP or just Google’s implementation/control of it? Because in theory everything AMP does is remove a lot of what gunks up websites these days. Anyone know if there’s a Whoogle-like software that lets you self-host AMP links?

I would like to add Indiewikibuddy. It’s basically a more fully featured version of the FandomDotCom features of Libredirect.

For example, you can set it to redirect from the Skyrim Fandom.com to the UESP.
