This is my biggest fear. The hidden weakness of the fediverse is that the largest implementation gets to set the rules of federation

Self imposed gatekeeping. Damn that's real

People over complicate federation. I write federated software so lemme break it down. Federation just means data sharing. When you post something on a federation enabled website it sends a copy of your post to everyone who follows you and tells their service to store your data in their database in addition to their own data. What this means is that you can't just blow up a server to shut it down because everyone in the game has a copy.

I've been using Linux for over 25 years but I hate using it as desktop. Wsl provides a nice environment for development and app running in a Linux environment without sacrificing the manifold reasons for running windows. Since wsl2 Linux gui programs even run natively without having to install an x server

I'm curious what about that instance made it so popular? Isn't it just another Lemmy codebase? Intuitively I would have thought lemmy.ml would have grown but I'm not super familiar with lemmy land

This got me thinking, I wonder if the reason they don't fix homelessness is to create artificial scarcity for home values

 

President Joe Biden said on Monday the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is "real", days after denouncing Russia's deployment of such weapons in Belarus. On Saturday, Biden called Putin's announcement that Russia had deployed its first tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus "absolutely irresponsible".

I think a measure of success is how quality the content is. Even if there was only 2 people on here, If the content was good I would visit every day.
