I would tell them to use syncthing for moving their files around, but apple ecosystem is apparently too locked down for good software.

This is just a repost by the same WEF that made this gold nugget in 2018. They even kept the year, so uncreative. There is a dedicated wiki page about this garbage https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/You’ll_own_nothing_and_be_happy

This is a world economic forum sponsored post. Its not copium its propaganda by the rich owners of rental services that intend to leech of you after you give up all your posessions in favor of rental stuff.

I thought it was a satirical article first but it sadly isnt.

In Thunder you can at least disable showing crossposts which should remove a lot of duplicates.

with an instantce having just 2 to 3 communities all around similar theme

There are a few like this and people are aware of the centralization dangers of .world. Its hard work to keep a system like this from turning to shit.

Microblogging is about individuals while lemmy is about topics.

With the former, unless you involve algorithmic recommendations or recommendation lists like bluesky, its going to be a lot of work for users to get a nice feed from just following individual people.

With the latter, the things i mentioned are basically built into the system so its easier to get a lively experience even with much fewer users.

Mastodon is the biggest fediverse platform and that has just short of 900k MAU (monthly active users) with around 8M registered users.

In terms of non activity pub but federated protocols, matrix is probably the biggest with a user count in the hundreds of millions. They also market very well to goverments and the public sector tho so they get lots of users from massive deployments with millions of users on one server.

Kindle jailbreak ftw

MAUs are users that post or comment right? Or does voting also make you a MAU?

The number is correct according to the existing crawlers. Also i wonder if lemmy users are slightly more active on average than reddit users.

Either that or prevent competition from forming.

Ayee, finally. There has been some growth recently so good to see it back up and running.

Yeah i basically view it like a network drive in its default configuration. As if you were carrying around a USB drive.

This post is about UI and onboarding tho, not about mod behaviour.

+1 for keepassxc + syncthing

Also generally recommebd syncthing as a replacement for cloud storage for you phone pics and music and stuff.

Oh noo but i thought it was only the evil chinese deep seek that was insecure garbage.

As long as you onboard them with the ElementX/SchildichatNext(better fork of element) mobile client, their experience and setup should be fairly future proof. Its still changing and growing for sure but the most important stuff is finally working now and the new call systems is a huge improvement.

But yeah if you want zero metadata, your only choice is P2P stuff like Briar.

And its actually a post calling out people blindly opposed to DEI without really knowing what it stands for

Looking forward to seeing if it persists with Linux

I have never had what you described happen in my past 15 years of using linux, i hope you find your way around things, linux is dope once you get used to it.

My PC goes down from 70W idle to 2W when suspended. I also have a master slave power strip, that turns of all my peripherals (speakers, lights, audio interface, etc) when the PC drops below 10W so that saves some extra energy.

It has never occured to me my whole life to not suspend or shut down computers overnight. It wakes up in like 2 seconds why wouldnt you, even if it used only an extra 1W

They can break data protection laws and stuff…
