There are some other features only in pro, like Hyper-V for instance.

Wasn’t this the o rly owl? The one that actually looks like it’s saying “oh, really?”

Thank you. That’s more nuanced than I initially assumed, but I personally don’t think de-federating would be warranted. Not up to me though, obviously! lol

If you don’t play some of the big multiplayer games, definitely.

That’s true if you’re proxying your traffic for DDoS protection, but you don’t need to do that to use them as a DNS, if you must.

Its become quite a trend with headlines, huh? I guess it implies “we’re airing some dirty laundry, come look!” With the hopes of boosting click-throughs.

How amusing to call an app eternity and yet to be so ephemeral 😏

Some of us geniuses simply do not eat fruits and vegetables. 😎

Won’t require that as much as a demand from local business to produce a workforce that can do business with China.

Sorry for being out of the loop, why might they be doing that? Biggest instance throwing its weight around a bit?

All your base are belong to us

I usually push new users to KDE Plasma if they are most used to Windows. It helps that Plasma is also my preference and I know how to help them with it, but yeah. I think it’s most likely to make intuitive sense to Windows users.

Could it be… Satan?

That’s actually not their fault. They were using mastodon, which interacts somewhat awkwardly with Lemmy. Mastodon, as you might know, is a federated micro-blogging platform. It uses ActivityPub (mostly) to federate, as does Lemmy. Anyway, when someone using mastodon replies to a lemmy/kbin/piefed user, you’ll see that @user prepended.

It’s actually pretty cool how these varying networks interact, even if it’s a bit strange sometimes. Lemmy, mastodon, pixelfed, peertube… uh, the rest!

lmao

I’ve thought that was weird too. Decimeter’s seems like a good unit for measuring a person’s height, for instance.

it’s individual people who think all sorts of crazy shit, that is often downright contradictory.

Like most general purpose instances, I suppose.

When I made my account, no other instances existed and federation had not yet been implemented. I’m not hostile to Marxism-Leninism or the admins of this instance, but I’m not exactly a vocal advocate either. (Haven’t done the requisite reading, I suppose.)

Yes we are! >:(

People like saying lately “the purpose of a system is what is does” or something like that, so if we’re being realistic here you’re on to something.

Right, put a bit more simply— the people whom the government really serves are nervous about the subjects being angry at them, so this measures of surveillance and control will be pursued and implemented with relative ease.
