You can easily moderate communities on remote instances, all you need to do is leave a comment there, and then the existing moderator has a “make moderator” in the context menu below your username.

This can’t currently be done through any app, only in the web front-end.

In case the community is de facto unmoderated, you’d have to contact the admins of the instance. Or alternatively, create a community with the same name on your home instance and leave a comment in that community informing them and hope some will follow.

Tankies gonna tank. Just block their removed instance and move on with your life.

Can’t be bothered, tiktok is cancer, and I don’t need an alternative.

Several instances are fully choked up with federating content, some have weeks of backlog to overcome. Self hosted personal instances are probably all the way on the bottom of the priority list…

Feddit has had a ton of outages recently, there were a bunch of admin posts over there every once in a while when they are up again. I’m not quite sure how the 99% are calculated, maybe most of that is historic availability and currently they are just removeded.

There’s https://status.feddit.de, but even that was unavailable last week.

As if he knows how to operate a smartphone.

Very interesting concept. Since the original wikipedia is in most parts published under licenses that permit copying & adaptations, are you planning to integrate their articles as a snapshot for the sake of having a solid foundation?

It’s very easy if Windows was there first. If you install it after Linux, they’ll hijack the bootloader and you have to restore it before you can boot back into Linux. If Windows is already installed, Linux will install a custom grub (bootloader front-end) allowing you to choose which OS to boot by default, or to choose on each boot.

I’d suggest to update from Win 10 to 11 before you install Linux, you never know what the update does.

As for the Linux flavor, my favorite is Xubuntu, a very lightweight variant of Ubuntu using the xfce window manager, which is lightning fast. I’ve tried many, many variants and stuck with it for performance and stability.

Can’t read removed on this pixelated mini screenshot. How about you write a proper article if you want to make a point?

It’s creating a RAM drive and just keeps working from there. You can even plug the stick back in and save files on it, if needed.

The city administration of Munich switched to Linux, migrated all data and users, trained them etc. for millions of Euros, and then eventually switched back some years later since staff productivity was way down, and users didn’t feel comfortable in the OS environment.

You can’t enforce a change. Linux is great, especially so for tech enthusiasts, but the average (or probably below average) user might have a hard time to adjust.

And when performance is measured in workforce efficiency, then you have to accept that it’s simply not suited for every environment.

Lemmy often racks up hundreds of gigabytes in logs and other crap, chokes up the hard drive, and then force restarts the server. Not fun for something you use to stream media from. Takes quite some tuning to get it sorted.

If we are talking about two virtual machines on the same physical server with dedicated storage allocation, that shouldn’t matter.

Is anyone still playing Xonotic? I used to play Nexuiz back before they sold the name, and tried Xonotic recently, only to find servers with maximum one other player idling around. I genuinely thought it’s dead.

I sure hope it does, nobody needs that cesspool.

No.

Is there any specific use case for the app that you don’t get with the mobile website?

I’ve figured out that my bank’s app is basically a wrapper for the mobile website, the only thing they added being fingerprint login.

Instantly deleted the app and use the website now, one less thing that can potentially spy on me.

Most of them were automatically defederated for not having adequate protection against bot signups, that got nothing to do with sketchy content.

Joseph McCarthy-esk

-esque

If you’re defederated you can’t post elsewhere, which sucks. A dedicated piracy account makes sense though.

Mali (where .ml comes from) claimed all of their domains back from a Dutch company that managed them for over a decade, and in the process, they shut down or took over quite a number of websites they didn’t agree with.
