256TB? That's huge! How about an affordable 8TB SSD though? I ended up going with a HDD as a secondary drive because it was like a quarter of the price of high capacity SSDs.

Still over 5K subs are dark: https://reddark.untone.uk/ It will be interesting to see how that changes over time.

I can understand this. This is a server hosted by an individual who doesn't want the potential legal headaches that may arise. Everyone is free to make another account on another instance, or create their own instance.

30 new ships in a year? I doubt it. I mean, they can't even afford to keep one aircraft carrier running.

I don't see it that way. There are separate options to Favourite or Bookmark a post. To me Bookmarking something is so you can refer to it later, although nothing is stopping you using Favourites that way.

When there was an influx of users during the Reddit blackout, they said that they were getting lots of trolls and they couldn't keep up with the moderation. Lemmy.world and Sh.itjust.works had the most traffic and were letting people sign up without vetting so the Beehaw admins decided to defederate those communities.

I'll have to disagree there. When you Favourite a post, the person that posted it gets a notification about the fact, while if you Bookmark something no notification is sent. In effect you are telling the person that you "Liked" their post.

Also, looking at the Explore section of Mastodon the following message is shown at the top of the feed:

These are posts from across the social web that are gaining traction today. Newer posts with more boosts and favorites are ranked higher.

So those Favourites are used by the algorithm to rank posts. Bookmarks are totally private and only used to save posts for your own use.

You could set your browser to clear all cookies when you close it. That does mean you have to keep logging into sites every time you open the browser again, but with a password manager that's not really a problem.

I don't think they make money. It's an open source project where people donate their time as far as I know.

EDIT: I forgot to mention you can donate to the project. Something has to pay for web hosting, I guess.

I built a new PC two months ago and it's the first time I didn't get Office. Libre Office has everything I need and it's free.

Yeah, I built my new PC around 2 months ago. Maybe they are cheaper elsewhere but here in Australia they are very expensive. :(

The Lemmy.world server is owned by the same guy that owns Mastodon.world. Nothing to do with the Lemmy devs. Just mainstream general interest servers.

You can always host your own instance. Then you can choose what is blocked and what isn't.

Wasted? I've browsed more dank memes than all of my ancestors combined.

I was thinking the same thing. I've been using the filters to go to New and Hot and other things but when someone comes to the front page they shouldn't keep seeing the same posts for many hours or even days. I remember years ago on Reddit they altered the algorithm so that newer posts would show up more frequently on the front page and it was a massive improvement.

Another Australian here. Our water is safe to drink out of the tap. I drink tap water daily and have so all my life.

They said bad movie, not cinematic masterpiece.

Also, who eats their pizza with a salad?

I hope it works! I'm so over posts just spawning into a page that is already loaded.

They are very expensive and not everyone has a garage where they can charge them. I can only park on the street so I would have to go to a charging point and sit in my car for the whole time it charges. Not as convenient as pumping petrol into my car for 2 minutes.

Not exactly what you asked for, but I found one for new communities. I've subbed to some I found there.

Pog

Waterworld. It's so terrible but at the same time I love it.

I recently got my first FreeSync monitor and it's the best thing ever. Everything looks so smooth!

There is a save button, looks like a star (on the desktop Lemmy).

Hey, I had a lot of fun playing this! Also mixed with periods of rage. But fun! And also rage.

What tutorial?

This is helpful! Does anyone know what it means when you try to subscribe to a community and it just says "Subscribe Pending"? That has happened to me 2-3 times, and it just seems to stay like that.

Oh good, it's not just me. Glad to hear it is being worked on.

You can turn that off in Group Policy if you have the Pro version of Windows.

Omg, I went to twitter.com and it requires a login now. That's the end of that, I guess. Most people aren't going to sign up to see a random sentence written by some person that was linked to by some random website.

Calm down there Caligula.
