Best skin I’ve seen on any social site. Nice job.

It was quiet, but people would sometimes discuss various way for preventing screens etc from being too much a part of their daily lives.
I think it’s good for Firefox to get these alternatives using it as a base. Great news.
Name-calling isn’t necessary at all, if that’s what happening. That said, would you behave this way in a restaurant?
I organise a small group gathering at a local pub sometimes with people who aren’t close friends. If it’s just one person not buying in a decent sized group, then it doesn’t cause a problem for the venue as far as I know. When we’re huddled in a corner it’s hard to tell who has what drink.
But you simply wouldn’t get away with that if it wasn’t for the others buying drinks and we do so to “pay the rent” so to speak. So when that happens there is a vibe of “I’m fine with you guys covering me here”. Saying “I don’t spend money in bars” isn’t that different to saying “I let others spend their money at bars”.
Now if this was a group of good friends, or someone I knew was struggling financially, I’d be fine with it.
Update: I got it working by manually downloading a newer binary. Thanks, this is great!
Outdated: One more question, when I choose to download a torrent, the downloads list is still at 0. There is no download activity, even for a very popular torrent. The log file simply says:
(N) 2023-12-18T20:57:30 - Downloading 'https://<redacted-text>.html', please wait...
So, no complaints about file permissions (I’m on linux). Any idea why this is? I can’t easily join the forum. It’s gmail/outlook only for registration.
Ah, than you so much! This makes life a lot easier :)
“spammy/toxic instances” - Meta are a toxic company. They literally have blood on their hands.
“too liberal with defederation” - we’re talking about one body specifically; Threads. Nothing else.
As to whether it should be done at an admin or individual level, I have no idea. But they’re an unethical company and people less privileged than you and I have died while they profit from it. That alone is enough reason for anyone with empathy IMO.
So if an instance federated with loads of other instances but not Threads, I’m not a social network anymore? That makes no sense to me.
Isn’t he also the SO creator? Anyway, I’m sure he understands the technology, yes. And maybe I misinterpreted him. But it sounded like he’s saying that if we don’t federate with Threads, then there’s no point in being on the fediverse, because we’re effectively isolationists”. That’s simply untrue.
He has some strange takes there, as if federating is mandatory. Servers do block instances and defederate. it’s not misuse of activitypub to do so.
I don’t know what’s the right choice. But some arguments are a bit off to me.
All I know about Quebec is that they have several First Nations there. Why is a foreign language be mandated over those?

According to @postcard64 below I’m oversimplifying things (at minimum).
Thanks. In that case is it known which of those two possibilities are most likely?
I thought that SSD fails “better” than HDD because SDD become read-only first.
Seeing how Canada treats non-whites and First Nations would put it low on my list actually.
Anyone know how this compares to FreshRSS?
Update: I see a few differences. It’s mobile friendly and is more simplified in some ways. That’s all good. They say to expect breakage so it mightn’t be as stable yet.
It might reflect a dehumanising perspective in people: see nice car -> suddenly attracted to driver.
Does that third also take into account any differences in manufacturing them? In other words, the entire lifecycle.
