everything runs on Valve time.

Shit, I guess we were lucky to get SteamOS 3 then!

So piracy is a civil crime, not a criminal one? Awww 😩 All this time I thought I was cooler than I really am. (Sad arrr noises)

Statute of limitations??

I apologize, I misread your statement - you said “Trump appointed judge, is relevant.” My brain read “Trump appointed judge, is irrelevant.”

My bad!

Weird way to excuse actual fascism, but ok.

For reals. This person sounds insufferable, I would have fired them too.

A big problem with this is that since 2016 the bots and hired commenters have thoroughly poisoned the intellectual well. What used to be considered extreme in 2016 was so artificially boosted that now real people have completely bought into the bullshit.

Kbin has this ability, but Lemmy does not (yet).

Another vote for UniFi gear. I administer four homes for myself and my family, three of them all use UniFi equipment (and the fourth will next time I get over there, it’s in another country).

Yup.

Lemmings.

Yes and no? Maybe? I’m still figuring out how all this works lol. I know that instances take on the load of their users and communities.

It’s gotta start somewhere though. It makes sense that as refugees flock over they’ll gravitate towards the largest instance, because the expectation is that’s where the usage is and they don’t yet grok how the Fediverse works. As they settle in, I’d expect a number of them to spread out a bit. Once we can migrate accounts I’d expect the load to be distributed even better.

Not OP, but when they pivoted and included the web into the core of the OS. It was like, wait, what??

And don’t post anything - contribute nothing.

Huffman has argued the changes are a business decision to force AI companies training on Reddit’s data to pony up

LMFAO that ship has fucking sailed. They already used Reddit data through 2021 and got everything they needed for free. Huffman is locking the barn after the horses are already out, and setting it on fire. What a fucking dumbass.

What is kbin.social doing differently?

Unknown about kbin, but I’ve heard that Hot is currently broken for (most?) instances across the lemmyverse. (This might be related to the size of the instance - apparently for small (single-to-double-digit users) instances Hot works fine?)

Edit: and this is supposed to be fixed in the next release, 0.18

Unfortunately that doesn’t help.

you can block instances

Slight correction (not to be pedantic, we’re all learning here): you can currently block communities, but not instances. (Apparently being able to block instances at the user-level is coming)

They’re building the plane as we’re flying and simultaneously boarding more passengers.

Quite the perfect analogy.
