Today GNU/Linux is 32 years old

  • This happend to me a lot 10-15 years ago but since then has never again happened to me. With the noteable exception of Arch Linux which does tell you to read update notes though.

    • 5 years ago Valve released Proton forever changing Linux gaming

  • The Valve that pushed always online drm to the masses? That Valve that takes 30% of every purchase made on their monopolistic platform?

    Yes, that Valve.

    Let's not pretend Valve hasn't gotten to where it was against consumer interest and especially not that Valve is some kind of a good guy.

    One more on top: That Valve that had to be forced to offer refunds and to this day offers the worst customer support in the industry by choice? (Yes that one)

    • Is moving to IPv6 worth it?

    Jump

  • Nothing has changed about why that is compelling: NAT sucks and creates nothing but problems.

    Network security is almost the same with IPv6.

    If you rely on NAT as a security measure you are just very bad at networking.

    • YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private

  • Hosting (or simply just using) a crawler takes less resources and skill than hosting Lemmy let alone modify it the way you intend.

    • Twitter silently removes login requirement for viewing tweets

  • Say you have critical information that you want to delete

    Then you shouldn't have uploaded it publicly.

    other instances can just ignore this deletion request, than I could technically write a plugin that uses an extra instance, to always display all deleted comments to me

    The same was always possible with Reddit and was even implemented. Why is this a problem now?

    For other sites you’d need a crawler

    Only if they don't have an API.

    • Slashdot -> Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy

  • If the fediverse idea doesn't work out and it's yet another company the cycle is bound to continue.

    A big chance is in front of us to break the cycle!

    • Slashdot -> Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy

  • What do we do if it doesn't? Just crawl back and apologize?

  • I kinda grew out of it. It was funny when I was an edgy teenager but it got progressively more cringeworthy as time progressed for me, even though the content may not have changed much.

  • Even if you wouldn't like it, the cool thing here is you can decide for yourself. If... you feel the need to do so.
