Can you ping the Jellyfish server from the laptop? Can any other device access the Jellyfish server?

Damn shame Linux is so unfriendly to anti cheats.

What about Linux do you think is “unfriendly to anti cheats”?

Thank you for noticing 😊 ­— I have hope that it’s a practice that will catch on eventually. I do my best to not engage in conjecture: If I make any claim, I try to make sure that I cite it. The same sort of thing goes for anything derived from logic — ie I do my best to describe my thought processes to make sure that I reduce the possibility of incorrect assumptions being made on anything that I post. It’s a little bit tedious at times, but I think it’s important.

That’s fair!

Oh, I totally follow the logic of why each group would want a report, but I would still like to have an official source for the functionality besides anecdotes, if possible.

Would you be able to point to a location in the code?

While this is peripherally interesting to hear, without Linux support ^[1][2], I am not personally interested.

Noted! Thanks! For my own future reference, would you be able to cite official documentation for where that information is located?

I use KDE Plasma on my desktop and GNOME on my laptop — though, by my experience, GNOME has been mildly annoying. I just find it too “restrictive” when compared with KDE. I’m also not super fond of how some apps seem to integrate rather poorly with GNOME. I do think that GNOME’s interface works well with a laptop, but the UX hasn’t been the best for me. I have few, if any, complaints regarding KDE.

Out of curiosity, for reference, could you cite official documentation and/or source code for where that functionality is defined?

I’ve never understood the “bug conspiracy”. Let’s assume that there is a movement of people that wants everyone to eat bugs, and let’s ignore any pros or cons about their consumption. How would that affect one’s life? Without legislation mandating it’s use (which I’d wager would be illegal, anyways — unless, ofc, there was a large enough majority of people in a democratic country who are in favor of forcing bugs on everyone to overrule said laws), one couldn’t be forced to consume it; those who’d want to consume it will consume it, and those who don’t won’t. Where exactly is the issue?

I assumed that was there because there are some sites (e.g. reuters.com) that make it difficult to automatically grab a thumbnail image to go with the article. So if you’re posting a link to somewhere like there, you’d find a relevant image manually, and use that field so the post you make will be more engaging.

So are you saying that it only works for posts that are sharing a URL?

Plus I cringe at the thought of 75% of the CBC budget being spent on content moderation.

Theoretically, could they outwardly federate only? For example, they make a post which gets pushed out to other instances, but they would set their instance to not allow any external posts or comments to be federated into their instance, and they could close registrations. That way, the rest of the Fediverse could follow and interact with their content, and they wouldn’t have to deal with moderation. I’m not sure if that’s really how federation works, so please correct any inaccuracies.

[…] treat each Lemmy community as a community, not an audience.

I think it depends on the community in question, and the nature of the post. If, for example, one is looking for an answer to a question, or help with something, I would argue that one would, generally, want to target the largest relevant audience to maximize the surface area of potential people who can help. At any rate, more specifically, I don’t think it’s one or the other, but rather both — one would want to find the largest and the most relevant community. By my experience, another common behavior is to cross-post to multiple communities. This seems to be especially more common in a federated forum like Lemmy where there could be any number of duplicate communities.

Just write a description in the main post and put the link in the reply. This just stops lazy linking.

I agree with Elon’s sentiment in this (though sticking a link in a reply is kind’ve inelegant — imo, Lemmy would be better for this, as it has a separate title and body). This is something that bothers me on Lemmy; I’m not super fond of the practice of simply copy-pasting articles from news sites into posts; it feels very lazy and spammy. Lemmy is under no obligation to repeat the clickbait and misinformation that a news site may be compelled to use. When an article is shared, I think that it should, in general, be used as a source to back up a claim rather than the entire post itself. Posts should be human oriented rather than just an outlet for news spam.

I know I can post and be the change I seek.

Imo, this is your answer. I’m not sure exactly what other solution you want. Content will not appear on Lemmy without someone first posting it. Advertising the platform to help draw people in is also important.

I will preface by saying that I am not casting doubt on your claim, I’m simply curious: What is the rationale behind why it would be so unlikely for such an exploit to occur? What rationale causes you to be so confident?

Looks like a Fractal Node 304?

Yep! I’ve found that the case is possibly a little too cramped for my liking — I’m not overly fond of the placement of the drive bay hangars — but overall it’s been alright. It’s definitely a nice form factor.

It wasn’t a deliberate choice. It was simply hardware that I already had available at the time. I have had no performance issues of note as a result of the hardware’s age, so I’ve seen no reason to upgrade it just yet.
