Idk, I guess that's better than the idiocy involved in "Get your government hands off my Medicare!". At least there's an internal consistency that you can argue against. Cruel, consistent evil is easier to work with than the Trumpian spew of bullshit.
Meh, storage is cheap, you can get TBs of storage for less than $100. If things really pick up and you're a smaller Lemmy instance, I bet there'll be some good ways to filter exactly what you store on the server.
💯 Lemmy is self-sustaining now, and the programmers/server admins are getting experience with scaling. IMO Lemmy is now open for business to steal users every time Reddit does something shitty. I'd say spez should be worried, but he probably doesn't actually care past the pump&dump IPO and if Reddit becomes a ghost town after that he'll have already rode off into the sunset.
Yeah, this could be great for clustered computing. I only did software for a supercomputer company a while back so maybe there's reasons this wouldn't work, but it seems pretty useful within a rack. It'd probably make people over at !cableporn@lemmy.world sad to see those cables go away though.
That looks cool, and they've got some other nifty looking things like https://www.pikapods.com/. Any idea how stable the company is? I partially like rsync.net because it's pretty unlikely to just disappear someday.
Element is built on top of a protocol called Matrix. If you don't like Element for a UI reason, you might want to try another client. There's a list of them here:
Local elections for me are based on a minimum number of signatures. It'd be nice if presidential candidates had to go and get some number of physical signatures themselves. It'd be a good way to force them to spend at least a little bit of time actually meeting people. Though this would probably get gamed somehow.
If you're talking to the public, nothing you say is private. That includes federated systems like Mastodon and Lemmy. If you want privacy and federation, using an encrypted Matrix chat. There's still of course the caveat that the people you're talking with can leak your chats, since they have a copy of them, so don't talk to glowies.
