I’m not sure about that. What if advertising were used to cover server costs, just like donations right now? Then the community may be fine with it.

But I think it’s very dangerous to go down that route. Because it’s going to become about higher profits, not just covering costs, in the long run.

What you can do is install wireguard server at home and then set your phone to use that wireguard connection always. That’s what I do and then my pihole at home filters all my mobile traffic as well.

You can rent an instance for like 10 dollars per month and grow from there. Then expand if you get users and things get slow. Lemmy runs ok on 4 GB of memory but it’s better with 8 GB. Postgres use the most.

It’s what we all loved about the internet I think, before the web become… “that” (looking at the pile of shit the web has become).

But actually it’s not the web, not really. It’s the big tech platforms that most people seem to think is the internet now. It’s sad to watch how people log on to “Facebook” and not the general web anymore. And then Google in front of everything, like a big cancer growth.

Lemmy is not the new internet either I believe. But it’s here to show people that something else can exist. As soon as we let advertising in here though, it’s over.

Go back to windows is not an option, it’s a really horrible system. I dont see how people can use it without blowing their brains out.

I didn’t pick them. :)

Yeah it’s even better, I agree. :)

Dev 101 is not followed in real life… Sadly, caring about code quality is difficult or impossible when you work with others.

Most users actually have enjoyed both systemd and pulseaudio for many years now. They are both some of the best technology we have in the Linux world.

This is the reaction I get from people too. :)

Yeah that’s what we are having here too, huge cpu usage and issues with outgoing federation. Sounds spot on.

What we are seeing is that outgoing federation of posts and comments works after a restart, but new posts and comments made on the local instance are not federating to other instances until the next restart. This is with version 0.19.1.

Also after a restart, the server eats a lot of cpu for several minutes. Im guessing this is normal with the federation queue being processed but cant be sure.

But hey, richest company in the world need to eat ok?

/s

Why are these companies the worst? It’s a honest question since I actually don’t know much about them.

I can’t wait personally and will install it as soon as I can :) If it has some severe flaws, I just log out and log into Gnome or Plasma instead. It’s so simple.

Pop OS is awesome. You should like it a lot. Even the way it looks by default is much better then Ubuntu for sure.

Never be sorry about stuff like this. You are not dumb just for missing some random comment on the internet. :)

Micro$oft, as we used to say in the old times…

Yeah I honestly liked this text too.

No it was part of the request actually :)
