The special thing about federated social media is that if you don’t like something about one specific instance you can go to another instance or even create your own and still be part of the whole system. You’re not stuck with some leadership that you have to endure. Instead you can be your own boss or choose a nice place to stay.

I think all the other things that people like about it, like “no algorithm”, come naturally from this fact but are not inherent to the system.

It’s my main browser for a while now and I really like the vertical tabs and tab unloading which saves a lot of ram compared to regular firefox. Otherwise I think the split modes and the peeking feature are nice but I don’t use them that much.

And there is probably no simple way to set up a system that would function in a way that Linux needs I guess?

So I’m a total noob when it comes to business systems and I have never used ActiveDirectory or group policies, but wasn’t Linux or rather Unix originally designed as a system for many users on one big machine/network? Why is it so difficult for businesses to manage permissions and group settings on a large amount of devices? What does Microsoft/Windows do so much better there?

Actually the modern 64 bit processors are based on a design by AMD which was then licensed by Intel as far as I know.

I thought you were joking by saying in her late twenties. She looks like late fourties.

I’ve tried a few different note taking apps but I’m sticking with obsidian even though it is not open source because it saves everything in a simple folder structure as markdown files and simple images. I like that even without the program you can just search for the names of the images or notes on your system.

A few years ago I could see this but doesn’t he just do family content now?

A decade ago I don’t think the circumstances would have allowed lemmy to exist because reddit was still in its growing phase and it was not as commonly known and appreciated as it is today.

It would have been cool to develop lemmy like that but I think now is the right time for people to realise why lemmy should exist.

Lemmy is still very niche so it’s mainly populated by a specific type of people. That is normal and the same for every platform that starts small and grows slowly (reddit, instagram,…). If you want to see different content you can create your own communities or if they are not allowed even your own instance. But Lemmy still has to grow a lot to attract “normal people”. They are still on reddit at the moment.

By the way which censorship are you referring to that could not be resolved by moving to another instance?

How would key signing prevent deep fakes?

By the way is there some way to search for a video title inside a long youtube playlist? I always have to resort to scrolling down a dozen times on long playlists and then use text search in the browser.

Lemmy.world is not frowned upon. There are some people who are very vocal about not liking it but if you don’t have any problems you don’t need to change. There is also nothing stopping you from having accounts on diferent instances so try some of them out and stay where you like it.

The point of the fediverse is to give people the option to create communities by themselves and not be subject to the ruling of one central allmighty entity. If someone does not like one community they have the chance to create their own with their own rules. This means people can decide for themselves what content they want in their community. However people coming from traditional social media seem to mistake this kind of freedom with not needing to follow any rules but that’s not how it works.

Honestly the last time Trump was president I think it was similar on reddit and in the media in general. It’s just that news about the stupid stuff he does seem to generate a lot of engagement and that’s what platforms and news organisations are looking for.

So how old is he? If all of you got children at 18 he could only be 82 if my calculation is correct.

What kind of problems did you experience? I’m on an admittedly flatpak first distro and I can’t remember ever having issues.

Or just humanity in its entirety.

What do you classify as free speech?

Now that you’ve mentioned Obisian I realised that systems like it are quite different from how most things work. I use it myself and really like it, however it also takes quite some effort to get the best out of it. You have to actively create useful links between things and think about different ways you would want to access the content to be able to actually find it when you need it. For example you need to create aliases for elements if they are known by a different name in another context.
