Both have their own instances: https://social.bund.de and https://social.network.europa.eu

No, it's probably refering to what happened after his death: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Benito_Mussolini#Piazzale_Loreto

Tor is an application and technically doesn't even has much to do with Linux itself, except that it also runs on it. Where you using a guide for installing and if so which one?

Github is the right place s most of the development is discussed in the issues and PRs there. There's also the Matrix space https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org which has various chat rooms regarding Lemmy/Jerboa development.

Also you're... me? :D At least our taste in usernames is very similar.

This has likely happened because the german government created the social.bund.de instance earlier this year

The instance is almost 3.5 years old btw, which you can easily see from the instance admin account @itteam@social.bund.de. It just wasn't used by many government departments at the time, mostly the data protection agency and the BSI. The @ltrlp@social.bund.de account itself is pretty old too. It dates back to before the whole Twitter debacle. I guess that's also part of the reason why they decided to go full Mastodon, since they already have a lot of experiences with it.

I'm pretty sure there is no particular reason why it's done this way. It's just the easiest method to coomunicate upvotes across different servers. There are already a lot of ideas for doing it differently or more efficient (e.g. vote aggregation) but that requires a more sophisticated architecture:

• Vote aggregation also makes faking votes much more efficient and requires different detection methods. Of course, a spam server can also invent users or votes but it's a bit more complicated.
• Aggregation in any form can be hard to implement because it should be flexible enough to reduce load but not increase delay or make tracking a consistent state even harder. Finding the right configuration will be difficult and go through a lot of trial and error. Should be easier though now that more people are working on the code.
• Keep in mind that Lemmy should also be able to communicate with other services across the Fediverse like Mastodon via ActivityPub. I'm not sure if there is something in the standard for message aggregation yet. It's definitely being discussed because Mastodon, Pixelfed and Peertube all have or went thorugh the same growth problems as Lemmy in terms of scaling, spam and security concerns. If there's a good solution it will likely come through the AP standard.

I played Into the Breach to death on release. I even got all the mechs and achievements. Just looked at it again and it got a free Advanced Edition update?! Holy shit, brb playing the game a 3rd time!

In the browser when you hover over the display name, you should see the full username. I don't know how it's shown in the various apps but it should appear if you view the user's profile.

It is federated though? It's literally the first sentence in their specification: https://spec.matrix.org/latest/

Just type /c/android@lemmy.world and it will automatically create a link in your post.

Wait until you learn that PDFs support embedded Javascript.

!rct@sopuli.xyz and !rct@lemmy.world should work much better.
