"People never quit emacs. They just die at some point"
Too late, I've invested too much time, money, and effort into setting up my own Lemmy instance so I can share the love of open source and federated projects with others. What happens if lemmy.ml is overloaded? Go somewhere else and set up an account, and you can reduce the load on their servers.
RSS readers are legitimately the bomb. There are a couple of open source ones in the linux repos, I use LiFeRea, although it's interface is a little dated. If you set it up right, you only consume the content you want to.
Glad to hear that, I recently just got mail working as well. I ended up using an smtp relay service. Did you have any issues with getting your emails rejected? I might switch as this service is quite expensive.
In the end, it's important for those who make lying machines to be held accountable for the falsehoods they spread. Not to mention the copyright infringement. If I write code and it uses it for training, if it's licensed under the GPL, all derivative code is copyleft. Am I wrong there? I know Microsoft trains Github Copilot on public code, does that mean they're respecting the license of the code they're using for training? I have so many questions.
Yeah, I encountered this too, but only when deciding to rename the site. When I renamed it through the lemmy UI I was able to find the character limitation and work around it. I bet it has something to do with the federation protocol, and how much memory is allocated to a site's name.
I'd be willing to host an AMA community. I'm federated with lemmy.one, so it's certainly doable.
As usual, cherry picked questions get softball answers.
They don't get to sell as much of your attention with third party apps. It's money out of their pocket, the way they see it. The irony is they don't actually produce any content. jus tleech off those who do.
I didn't nuke my history, just deleted my handle so I couldn't use it anymore. AFAIK the posts are still up, the username is just [deleted]
Jokes on him, I no longer have access to my account. I've already moved.
I deleted my 10 year and 5 year old accounts. I didn't purge my posts and comments, as I doubt they're truly deleted from the database and I wanted to leave that content for people who aren't reddit. I've moved to the fediverse, andi think I'm here to stay.
