I think you did not get what I was saying. If an instance is blocking another one for illegal content or whatnot then of course do that for e everyonem threads is neither illegal nor have they represented any kind of threat to Lemmy or Mastodon or any other part of the fediverse but Lemmy acts as if Meta is going to destroy every single fediverse thing with non-existent tools and strategies in 0.2s after they start federating both ways.

I already see myself setting up my own instances so I can rest in peace from the bullshit that’s repeated on here. Might implement my own regex filter just to block out this bullshit.

Edit: just scrolled 3 other posts preemptively hating for nonsense. Im just gonna leave this shithole altogether. Bye guys!

Sure, absolutely the same. Definitely not wrong in the slightest…

Great how everyone saw one post from Mosseri a week ago and decided to just ignore all following posts. The one-sided federation atm is TEMPORARY. They will fully federate in the upcoming months.

I’m not part of the fediverse to still have to maintain 20 accounts. In the end I want one account, ideally from somewhere like Mastodon, to rule them all. And your circlejerk throws a wrench into it for absolutely no reason other than aluminum foil bullshit.

For me it’s the other way around. Lemmy.world blocking threads for exactly no reason except to make a circlejerk happy is a reason for me leave Lemmy altogether, not just this instance. So far yall just show me that here only the “I want to special” crowd exists. Doesn’t even matter which instance.

Hating on Threads for no reason is the circlejerk of Lemmy.

The people not giving a shit about these constructed “worries” of some FOSS-Linux-“please don’t join us, we want to be special” crowd.

Again, if YOU don’t like it, block it. Let me and the silent majority just enjoy this platform, WITH threads people, whether you feel attacked by that or not. Just to make sure everyone can follow: YOU block threads FOR YOURSELF, you do not force that shitty decision on everyone else.

And give me examples, actual proof, that threads is a cesspool. So far I’m not seeing it, I only see crying and bitching about "what if"s. That is just pure hatred. Lemmy is a far worse place because of all this. It’s seriously making me consider to leave ans go back to something where people are actually welcoming, like Threads.

Edit: I’m still missing evidence against Threads. Either there is none or yall haven’t even visited the dn thing before trying to “reason” about it.

And another attempt at blanket hating on a platform for no reason. Be more original, people.

Edit: if YOU don’t like it, sure block it. But don’t force your backwards decision on everyone else.

The EU alone is about 450 million people. There’s more countries in Europe than in the EU. I think you got something wrong.

That will stop working way sooner than you’d like. Freezing a browser isn’t tenable at all, not just for features websites are expecting but also security issues. There’s a reason every browser except Safari has a 6 weeks release cycle.

You throw stuff at your colleague, but there’s a fan producing wind influencing the direction for each throw. You have some objectives to do, like getting him to pull a pencil out of his ears or swallowing a phone. It’s a rather short game but it is funny.

Apart from my usual rounds of Fortnite and casual Cities Skylines, I’ve been re-enjoying Office Jerk on iOS again and got a few laughs out of it 😁

I’ve got two candidates for that:

• Uncharted 4
• GTA 5

Ubcharted is visually stunning and I really like the story it tells.

GTA 5 STILL is a game where I find new things.

Some people need a high-five. With a billiard table. In the face.

RAM usage is RAM usage, and besides the allocation still being awful and you probably having less RAM available in a heavy task, this means substantial power consumption, that costs money.

Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Even if it’s just the OS keeping apps on memory for faster launches. If you do need heavy RAM for a task your OS is clever enough to reshuffle things.

Used RAM does use more electricity but that is so neglible it’s a non-issue and no argument.

Of my 32 GB at least 26 GB are constantly in use.

While I don’t agree with what Google does, they want to remove third-party cookies entirely next year. So it’s indeed a replacement, not supplemental.

My data just serves as a counter point to the argument “new domains are always cheaper”. Of course it depends on the domain and how greedy a particular NIC is to create a text file on a server.

Definitely not. Some examples (actual prices I pay for my various domains):

• com: $18/y (gTLD)
• net: $19/y (gTLD)
• de: ~$5/y (ccTLD)
• re: ~$5/y (ccTLD)
• design: $49/y
• tech: $55/y
• blue: $23/y

My setup is extremely simple 😅

• A Synology DS218play (5 years old at this point)
• 2x6 TB Western Digital Red in RAID1
• Plex package from plex.tv, installed through Synology Package Center
• an Apple TV 4K as a client

Runs smooth up to 4K SDR but HDR is too much for it. Mainly using to watch recorded media.
