To deal with moderation conflicts you could basically just unlink the thread.

Also we could also just add flags to activitypub messages on creating posts to tell the boosting server whether or not merging is permitted.

If you’ve worked hard on something and want everyone to see it, set it to True and people can boost it to different communities.

If it’s something personal or an in-joke that you only want to be advertised to the community it’s posted in set it to False and the option won’t be available when cross posting in the UI.

Linux is actually kinda designed to be less fragmented than windows really.

The reason you don’t pick an install directory is because the standard is that binaries live where binaries live, dependencies live where dependencies live, logs live where logs live, etc.

All the user should worry about is where the media or whatever your program works with is.

Always try to find the apt install instructions for whatever program you want, and it’s easy to uninstall with apt remove.

Apart from a few deb packages, almost everything that can’t be managed via apt should be considered incomplete or experimental. If it was ready for you to just use it without issue, it would be in an apt repository.

It may seem a bit daunting to have to use command line at first, but once you’re used to it, you’ll realise how absolutely broken and archaic managing software on windows is. (Like seriously, it’s 2024 and you’re still having to fish through slow or sketchy websites to find installers for tools and drivers.)

I’d like some kind of visual task scheduler instead of having to read up on how to do cron jobs every time.

I live in a pretty diverse area and everyone loves talking about where they’re from. It’s like a universal ice breaker that can start an engaging conversation with people you otherwise have nothing in common with. Honestly if someone asks where you’re from there’s a far greater chance they’re trying to get off with you than fine tune their racism.

I don’t think it’s possible to have a Lemmy UI without JS because it serves up JSON not rendered pages. You could sign up on a kbin/mbin instance though to get a static frontend.

I bought a convertible car that was completely ditched once. The canvas roof was in such a state that it consisted mostly of black bags and duct tape.

I ring a friend and ask him what he’s doing and if he wants to go for a drive in said car.

He said he’s too busy 'cause he has a bunch of jobs to apply to and wants to spend the day handing out his CV. I say that’s a perfect excuse to drive the new car round.

Get to his house and show him the car and we decide we should drive round with the top down because it’s sunny. The top is made of duct tape and bin liners though, so we grab a kitchen knife each and set to work on getting it off.

First place he wants to go is a job for a theatre tech. We drive over to the next town and I pull up and he runs in with just his CV and leaves all his possessions (coat, phone, wallet, etc) in the car.

Unbeknownst to me, the guy he handed his CV to gave him a tour and a bit of an interview on the spot so I’d be stuck there for an hour in the same parking space.

Also unbeknownst to me, the theatre was at a high school so I’m now suddenly surrounded by kids leaving at the end of the school day.

It’s awkward enough that I’m a guy in my late 20s parked outside a school in a convertible, but it took me a few minutes to realise that all the staring I was recieving from the kids was because the back seat was covered in black bags and duct tape held down with the two biggest knives I could find in my kitchen.

The police even came and I was hoping they would stop so I could explain but they just kept driving past me at walking speed.

It’s integrating as best it can. It has an embeddable player and LDAP logins. It’s kind of a failure on the part of other platform Devs to use it.

The fundamental problem with cryptocurrencies is that the people with the enthusiasm to make them (libertarians), are too stupid (libertarian) to understand why a deflationary asset cannot work as a currency.

It’s inherently a speculative investment. Nobody is going to spend something that might be worth dramatically more tomorrow and nobody is going work for something that might be worth dramatically less tomorrow.

Is there really a significant difference between steamOS and using big picture mode + proton? I’ve had hardly any issues using steam on Ubuntu to play windows only games. Even Microsoft flight sim works despite trying it’s hardest to act like part of windows.
