The last update to NTFS was in 2004.

The fact that ReFS doesn't even support all the features NTFS does is pathetic.

Throwing a tantrum about what exactly? They're one of the oldest-running Lemmy instances. Until now they were running a fork based on a pre-Federation version of the codebase.

You believe they did a bunch of work migrating their database only to then negate that work by destroying the community they wanted to Federate with?

“Oh but what about the criminals, terrorists and pedos?”

What about the Windsors?

I see it like this:

Our legal system has the concept of mechanical licensing. If your song exists, someone can demand the right to cover it and the law will favor them. The result of an LLM has less to do with your art that a cover of your song does.

There are plenty of cases of a cover eclipsing the original version of a song in popularity and yet I have never met a single person argue that we should get rid of the right to cover a song.

At the very least, better filesystem level compression support. A somewhat common usecase might be people who use emulators. Both Wii U and PS3 are consoles where major emulators just use a folder on your filesystem. I know a lot of emulator users who are non-technical to the point that they don't have "show hidden files and folders" enabled.

Also your average person wouldn't necessarily need checksums, but having them built into the filesystem would lead to overall more reliability.

How would this even be enforced?

especially small ones with small file size games that are easy to reinstall over and over?

Wouldn't even need a small game technically. I'm pretty sure the only way to properly calculate would be running a postinstall script and someone could presumably just keep running that script

American here. Here's the three common contexts for tipping. Everything else is something someone's trying to make a thing rather than actually a thing:

  1. Restaurants: If someone is bringing food from the Kitchen to your table

  2. Delivery: If someone's delivering food. Or they're personally delivering groceries.

  3. Transportation: If someone's driving you personally. Like a Taxi.

Some say you should tip bathroom attendants. I've never even seen a bathroom attendant, but that seems like such a bizarre job to tip for, even by American standards.

Florida wasn't a good spot for conventions anyways, geographically speaking.

I just wish it used screen real-estate better. I'm using it right now. I wish it could replace RIF.

I disagree. The advantage of the Fediverse is finding people who wanna cultivate a similar internet experience as you. I can still comment on Beehaw because I'm on a small well-moderated platform.

I'm on the SDF instance. It's a small instance that seems to Federate with all the big ones including Beehaw. It has manual approval but only asks one question and approval is within a day.

Also the host platform has been around since 1987.

The bigger problem with Windows is that the Steamdeck has some great battery optimization settings that seem like they'd be a pain to implement.

Which reminds me: never seen Polish or German sausage on a pizza.

I'd be surprised if in 100 years there's not at least one place in the world where wearing a pet collar is considered socially acceptable.

That's kinda historically illiterate. The reason people tolerated Capitalism in the first place was that it smashed old forms of oppression and replaced them with less bad forms of oppression.

I'd say neither car looks good.

Might be a bit heavy, but assuming you have a good upload/GPU: Jellyfin.

Yup. That's what I like about the Fediverse.

I think we need to make the auto-updating feature opt-in. No sense in designing a software that DDOSes itself.

Bro really pulled a "are there no workhouses"

Just use a Degoogled Android phone.

Skyrim had under 100 employees.

The issue is more political than technical. Hopefully AV1 will fix that.

Sure, but that's a separate argument.

You could also share links in a Url shortened style and use that redirect to let someone select an instance or log in to another service to know where to send links. This also isn't great.

The ideal would be a site that asks you for your instance once, saves it as a cookie, then automatically redirects you.

Except h265 is only ever used for 4k outside piracy. This is because Codec licensing issues.

Once it's conceivable to do so, it would make sense for Netflix to announce it won't make new Netflix ports for TVs without AV1.

Is it my fault if my coworker decides to live twice as far as I do?

I'd rather just let them sit in traffic thinking they gamed the system.

I got a $20 Hub and wouldn't recommend it. For whatever reason the USB parts didn't work.

Just use small instances with good moderation policies.

You're insuinating that feminism is incompatiable with women choosing what they wear if it's a garment you don't approve of.

You could say the same thing about a Confederate flag though.

Not that I'm saying the two are comparable, but that it's not a very good argument.

Why don't they stop making education stupid, then?

The school has an obligation to educate students to the best of their ability.

Good luck enforcing that.

I hope eventually RISC-V will become viable.

Exactly. A lot of what the protests did was embolden Spez. He basically thinks he can do whatever he wants now, but the expression "the straw that broke the camel's back" applies here. He's gonna keep making unpopular decisions that eventually make the site unusable for even the casual user.

Once user base is high enough, start introducing features that aren’t available (chat, polls) in the API to entice users to abandon 3rd party apps for new features

Except in reddit's case, both Chat and Polls are features that were hardly used.

I still see a legacy of that when a forum for game modding requires you create an account to download.

To an extent I sometimes agree with the complaints about playersexual, but in this instance it feels like they're just grasping for a reason to not be called a prude.

We were too good at posting. It just wasn't sustainable.
