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.

I really don’t understand what this run on sentence means

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?

You’re insuinating that feminism is incompatiable with women choosing what they wear if it’s a garment you don’t approve of.

You could say the same thing about a Confederate flag though.

Not that I’m saying the two are comparable, but that it’s not a very good argument.

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.

Biggest problem is that you’d need the services everywhere for a 3-digit number to make sense.

Now if there was a 3-digit number that’d connect you to all the misc government services in your area, that’d be another thing.

Which Lemmy instance was it that suspended Habeas Corpus?

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.

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.

These days, it’s much cheaper to just have international friends online.

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