I’m guessing mining for lootboxes and items. Never underestimate people’s ability find money in an absurd waste of resources.

I’m sure that going scorched earth is great for customer retention.

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.

I’ve been using mega. They have a decent linux client and file manager integrations.

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

It’s not enough to make it available as an option somewhere so it’s there when you need it, they need accidental clicks to inflate metrics.

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.

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.

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.

They aren’t shown to users, no, but because votes are federated, they’re freely accessible to anyone willing to put in some effort. Set up a server and you’ll get access to the data.

It’s not copyright infringement if you’re as big as meta.

If you go with something that isn’t lemmy/piefed/mbin, you should look into compatibility and project activity very carefully.

Oh boy, now I can stop missing C++
