I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, and several other subjects.
Oh okay, are you referring to the Amazon link in the description? That link is a generic affiliate link that just redirects to “laptop” but gives him a comission when someone buys something on Amazon after, it’s not a specific product he sells on there.
It didn’t happen in the US though, so I’m not sure why that’s relevant.
I’m sorry, but what are you referring to?
Numeric .xyz domains only cost $1 a year. They’re not great for things like mail because they’re often used by spammers (probably because of the price), but it’s great for cheap signed DNS hostnames.
I point it to the server on my local network and use Wireguard to connect myself.
Some people (like me) like having a more compact layout
It’s great for explaining entry level information on a wide variety of topics. More advanced / obscure topics are more prone to hallucinations. I used it to learn React and it was a great introduction.
I’ve played this a lot with my friends in high school. I can definitely recommend it.
All the mods are written with Lua and run in a sandbox afaik so it isn’t really the same as Minecraft mods
I tried virt-manager, but I still prefer Virtualbox myself
Deposit guarantee schemes (DGS) reimburse up to a certain amount to compensate depositors whose bank has failed. A fundamental principle underlying DGS is that they are funded entirely by banks, and that no taxpayer funds are used.
It works by having a central fund to back the money that qualifies for the deposit guarantee, however said funds only contains 0,8% of covered deposits. Although this might seem small, this is still a large amount of capital (~40 billion euro), and should be able to cover all deposits during a major financial crisis (like 2008) according to this research (ECB funded).
It’s the GPLv2 which doesn’t disallow commercial usage.
Wifi networks may add popup pages by man in the middeling connections to unsecured sites. However, it’s very uncommon to see an unsecured site and people therefore won’t see the popup which grants them access after agreeing to the terms of use of the network.
Yes, it uses ActivityPub with the ForgeFed extension.
Ehh, it’s better than “the person who can stay in the circle the longest wins 1 million”
Yeah, I first thought it was optional and was pleasently surprised when I found out Lemmy implements it, but I’m not quite sure if other software properly implement it either.
Because they insisted on using the inferior lightning connector instead of using USB C like everyone else.
It seems like that is part of ActivityPub and Lemmy implements it.
Yes, but what if someone just creates a new instance and adds previous accounts. How do other instances know that the running instance has changed and didn’t just go offline if it’s registered on the original domain?
The handling is enforced by one while the other may be unknown to the person who calls the function. I think that’s a pretty clear difference.
