This is one of the things that make me think the current “fediverse” isn’t going to be its final form. It’s a good stepping stone, but users and communities being locked to a single instance will become a bugbear sooner rather than later.
Yeah, I think a user shouldn’t just “exist” on a single instance and the same goes for communities.
And at the same time, an instance owner does need to be able to block things from being federated with themselves. You really do not want any CSAM on hardware you own.
It’s tricky to cover everything, and I’m not even going to pretend I’ve got the answers to it.
It is a problem, but I think it downplays the reason those platforms got popular.
No admin required. No updating of software to make sure you’re not going to get compromised by a vuln.
No account management. You don’t have to make a new account, and manage another password for every community you use. Also, no worrying about 1 when somebody like me can’t be arsed to update that forum software. I don’t want an account for everything.
It’s all in one place. You look at your “feed” of things and your stuff with a new post every week is right there with the stuff with new posts every ten minutes.
If you’re running a big community you shouldn’t be building it somebody else’s garden, but you do need to manage the garden yourself and it’s not super trivial and maybe your little Final Fantasy XIV group can make do with a corner of Discord and abandon it when it goes real shitty. If you’ve got 50,000 people, it gets a little trickier.
The Fediverse goes a little way to fixing things, but it’s all a trade off. Not having corporations involved is a damn good start though.
Ah, the 200 Go Fuck Yourself pattern.
I use HTTP error codes in my API, and still occasionally see a GET /resource/{“error”:“invalid branchID provided”} from people who don’t seem to know what they are.
Fucking Chrome/Electron is why.
I honestly wouldn’t mind that if they could all use the exact same runtime so the apps could be a few MB each, but nooooo.
Why do people use this when Jellyfin exists?
So I guess we’re doing away with crumple zones now.
People bored of still having legs after accidents or something?
Maybe applies more to regex, the write only language.
I’m sure the Tolkien nerds can convince Amazon to make an entire series about Tom.
I mean it can’t be much worse than Rings of fucking Power…
Or just make it into a park. We’re not so desperate for space we need to build on what little urban greenery we have left…
Certainly more than golf.
Jellyfin seems solid.
The only issues I’ve had are with dodgy media files. Obviously better player hardware gets you better performance, but transcoding eliminates some of those issues.
Ours didn’t. It had some bullshit to spray into the tyre to do a repair. That failed, and made it unrepairable to boot.
So now we have a spare. Have a spare. It can a slimline one, it just needs to get you to a garage.
You mean until NASA gets shut down by a man with a vested interest in the space sector?
That’s because the world’s economies are built on the unsustainable principle of infinite growth.
Discoverability is a serious issue on Lemmy. I’d wager there’s a shitload of people here interested in the big US sports, but unless you know where the community is (and there’s often multiple, and sometimes on instances you’re not linked to), you’re not going to see it.
There’s just not enough users for any algorithm pushing of obscure communities you might be interested in either.
In the early years fo Reddit, those wouldn’t exist either. You have to start with bigger groups (NFL, NHL, etc) and split them if they ever get big enough.
He definitely doesn’t know what deduplicated means…
Yeah, that way nobody will understand it
