It is a binary with some edge cases

So in other words, not a binary? What you’re describing is more accurately described as a bimodal distribution.

You can add another mod, and then step down to transfer ownership. If you want to still be a mod after that, the new owner will have to add you, or the admin of the instance the community is hosted on

kind of how AOSP is for Android)

Are you mounting a FAT32 disk by any chance?

I’d just re-install Windows over the top of the fucked up install normally. It was a bit easier to recover from, and a bit harder to fuck up

It was similar for me, but not quite the same. The thing I hated was starting from scratch. I’m very much not a distro hopper. Back in the day, I enjoyed the challenge of trying to troubleshoot issues and get the system working again, and that kept me interested, but eventually, I’d hit a problem I couldn’t resolve, and I’d have to start again from scratch, and at that point, I’d just go back to Windows.

Now, I still get to do the same thing. If I break it, I get to learn how I broke it and try and fix it, and I find that process compelling. But because I’m using btrfs restore points now, I don’t get to the point where I have to start again from scratch. So I can work at solving it to the limit of my abilities, with confidence that if I can’t work it out, it’s not a huge issue.

That also sounds like a good way to stop learning!

The “starting over” part is what made it take so long for linux to “stick” with me.

Once it became “restore from an earlier image”, it was a game changer!

TikTok basically invented shorts. Maybe Snapchat.

That would be Vine

If it actually worked, it would be really useful for a lot of people (it’s me. I’m a lot of people)

And smart clients/UIs like tesseract realise that the link is to a remote lemmy instance, and then give you the option of viewing it remotely or from your own instances perspective

On the horizon? They crossed that horizon a long time ago. It’s just going to accelerate now

Any place with anonymous/ephermal account and posts as the default is going to attract the worst people in the world…

Reports federate, in a limited way. They federate to the instance the community is hosted on, the instance the reported user is hosted on, the instance the reporting user is hosted on (well technically, it doesn’t federate to the last one, as that is where it started). I don’t believe that a report will federate to a remote instance that doesn’t meet one of those criteria, even if it hosts a moderator for the community, but I’m not certain about this one.

Either way, report resolutions don’t directly federate, so resolving a report doesn’t resolve it on the other instances. It looks like they federate, because post removal from a mod federates, and removing a post auto closes the report. However, a report that was spurious or a troll or whatever that isn’t going to be actioned, has to be manually closed down on each instance it federates to.

Phones are already too small. I use a fold because it’s the only way I can get a decent sized phone now!

I mean, I’m impressed that someone had the time to thoroughly try out all of those distros in two months to enable a meaningful comparison!

As soon as Jellyfin allows downloads for offline viewing

Time to jump ship then…

Jellyfin has had sync play for a long time

Yeah, it does

It’s client dependent, but generally if you see it on the profile, it means they’re banned from your instance
