I was not aware that KDE Connect ran on Windows! This is great to hear for recommendations. Thanks for spreading awareness!

I honestly forgot that this game existed. I remember it being very well made, but I could never fully get into it for some reason.
There are a surprising number of grammatical errors in that blog post. Did anyone proof read it, I wonder?
I was trying to say that the hardware cost to host it may not be expensive, but the management cost could be quite costly.
I dont know if they can see my content but I dont think they do.
From what I understand, they should still be able to see your content — you are still posting to the network.
You can always ask the folks on .ml for they make the software.
Ha, well, @dessalines@lemmy.ml is a moderator of this community.
So, IIUC, you’re saying that if a user on A browses a community on C, they will never see a user from B?
What do you mean by “it’s standard”? As in that is the intended functionality? It shouldn’t be — the whole point of blocking instances is for the user to be able to, well, block an instance, ie content originating from it no longer shows up.
It’s likely both. The ratio, however, I’m not sure of.
How about supporting users who want to improve their community instead of finding a new one?
I support that as well. My initial point was from the perspective of users not originating from lemmy.ml being annoyed with how lemmy.ml is administrating itself. If the users of lemmy.ml wish to stay to try and improve it, then I fully stand behind them, but, at the same time, I still support lemmy.ml’s autonomy.
It’s breaking the stated aim of open federation by tampering with comments, posts and mod records, which in turn get propagated or de-propagated to connected instances, right?
I’m not convinced that this is in conflict with the aim of federation. The whole point is to give people the power to create their own instances with their own rules instead of having to rely on a single central authority. The network isn’t necessarily distributed — it’s decentralized. An instance can administrate their content as they see fit. An instance cannot alter the content produced by any other instance. An instance can only manage the content originating from itself.
but 1) one instance (particular a significant one like ML) affects other instances
Would you mind being more specific?
they’re breaking the spirit of their own software by shamelessly abusing admin powers, in turn helping to normalize that behavior to the Lemmy side of the FV.
Hm, well, it depends on your perspective. The whole point of the Fediverse is to give people the freedom and power to control how they interact with the service. A server has the freedom to associate with the users that they wish in the same way that you have the freedom to consume what you wish. The spirit of the software is to enable people to have this freedom that otherwise wouldn’t exist with a large central service. The way I like to look at the Fediverse is where each instance is like a country, and each community is like a regional/state/provincial government within the country, and federation between instances is like cross-border policies between nations.
a supposedly transparent […] social network?
I’m not sure what you mean by “transparent”.
a supposedly […] user-run […] social network?
It is user-run, in that any user can create an instance.
a supposedly […] P2P social network?
It’s not P2P. A P2P network would be distributed. The Fediverse is decentralized.
For sure. What the aforementioned bits of information provide is the ability to be confident in the privacy of software if one were to treat it as a black box, ie an average consumer.
Hm, I feel that it’s inaccurate to say “we wouldn’t be able to tell”. It’s not exactly a black box system — the app would have to run on an operating system, and if you are able to know what the operating system is doing, and what instructions are being executed by the CPU, then you can know exactly what the app is doing.
What the aforementioned bits of information provide is the ability to treat software as a black box and be sure of its safety without having to fundamentally audit it.
Five Guys have better service that is free
It wasn’t free — they were charging money for it:
Jetflicks, which charged $9.99 per month for the streaming service
Yeah, take a look at the solution at the top of the post.
I would be curious what the actual political distribution is on Lemmy. Though, I think It would be very tough to accurately survey that.
Finally, a good meme utilizing the Gadsden Flag. That’s a fair criticism of libertarianism, imo.
I’m not sure if they count as underrated, but the band that immediately comes to mind is The Dear Hunter.
Looking at the resource usage of mine, a tiny cheap VPS for $4/mo would be enough
Not including the time cost to manage it.
Ah, right. I forgot that they’re based in Sweden. That’s understandable if it’s simply a lack of familiarity with the language, but, still, I would expect a company like Mullvad to at least have one native-equivalent English speaker to look over their public facing English stuff. None of this is the end of the world, ofc — I’m just mildly surprised.
