Well running a server and no longer interacting with a service can be two different things. From an organizational standpoint I could absolutely understand them not wanting or needing the expense of another service to maintain. Even for just their own use. As long as they still have accounts and post to the fediverse. I don’t see a big issue

Absolutely. It just depends a lot on the game of course. A blueray disk can contain over 100 GB. But a game could be split over several disks too. It was rather common to do that with CDs on the original PlayStation.

If a party is viable they strictly speaking aren’t a spoiler. 3rd party wise in the US. 3rd party candidates in local elections are great. In my state there are plenty of offices Republicans run for uncontested. I would vote sight unseen for any non Republican aligned candidate running against them.

National elections… 3rd parties running here can’t help but be spoilers. First there’s 50 separate sub elections they have to qualify for in the first place. Most don’t even qualify for half that at best. So they’ve already lost. Then on the off chance they somehow won one.(never really happened in 250 years) There’s the EC system and delegates. Some states are winner take all, some proportional. And while they’re supposed to vote to represent the states population. Faithless electors are a thing. Meaning 3rd parties just lost harder.

Its something like a .00000001% chance with an over 6 sigma confidence rating. You have better odds of getting struck by lightning multiple times while dancing the Macarena.

Calorie event?! Why not just call it a doughnut.

Depends a bit on the type of person and content you want to follow. But if you like retro computer Shenanigans etc. I know action retro is on Lemmy and Mastodon and I follow them on mastodon. But yes General content for the normies probably not so much.

Perhaps. But then moderation costs etc enter into it. But to host himself and friends/employees absolutely. Unlike X they’d have complete control.

This is one of the few instances where it’s appropriate to post Sabbine, and she isn’t spreading misinformation. I used to enjoy watching her videos. On topics of physics she’s good. But holy hell some of the shit takes she’s had deviating from the areas she’s educated in.

It’s simply acting as a connector. And directing traffic around Nat Etc for lay people or those who don’t want to bother with setting up and securing server software or such things. Unless of course I’m completing the two and they aren’t related. It’s possible I suppose. But I’ve used the app a couple of times. And I don’t ever remember having to sit and wait for a file upload. It was instant. Like the file being hashed and info being generated. Then slapping you with a QR code or a string to give to the person you’re sending it to Initiate the transfer

The site isn’t hosting the file. Sure you can host your own FTP etc. But there is a lot of security risks and vulnerabilities that arise because of that. You can even host your own Magic wormhole. It’s under MIT license. Just have to open the ports Etc. It should however theoretically have a lot less attack surface than HTTP FTP and similar protocols. Nothing is invulnerable of course.

Check it out. A lot of the systems like Discord Etc limit file sizes so vigorously. Because they operate like men in the middle. Can you send them the file first. Then whoever you’re sending it to can download it from them. It’s adding extra steps to the whole thing. With something like Wormhole you can even link a file from your phone. As long as you are on Wi-Fi and not going to be chewing through data minutes LOL. All the app does is connect the end points. Once they’re connected then you send the file directly to whomever you want. And the only limits on file sizes are realistically at the endpoints.

Have you tried wormhole?

Boiler plate comment

Marxist Leninist aren’t communists. Or they wouldn’t be Marxist Leninist. They do however like to cosplay as communists. Often naming things that aren’t communist Communist. While I think the general proletariat were all aspirationally communist. Their leaders and the Vanguard party most certainly were not.

Lemmy as a whole is pretty staunchly left and tolerant generally. Looking for things flagging themselves left here. Implies looking for the left of the left. Which ultimately leads to circle jerking and edgelord virtue signaling. It’s a bad time. Left can mean different things to different people. Drasticly so. If you consider yourself “left” look into some of their philosophies and see what resonates. Then look for communities based around that. You’ll likely have a much better time. And learn things in the process. Win win.

Yep. I like both. But if I want the gist of something fast or am not in an environment or situation I can sit and watch without disturbing or being disturbed by others. I want text. No fiddling with a progress bar to get back to where I was. Quick easy done. At home I’ll watch videos all day. But it will never be as efficient.

Most distros work fine with Nvidia these days. The ones that don’t are more the exception.

Check out monstrum on PBS storied. It’s a fun series covering monstrous whole floor from around the world.

Most likely a wendigo, or a particularly fabulous mari lwyd.

Gooble gobble one of us!

Sure the FAA needs to do this. We also need to fund the FAA and other regulatory agencies at the level they could. Whole towns in Texas have had large portions of them vaporized. Due to no proper OSHA and hazardous chemical safety handling inspection and accountability. And yes you read that right. Plural, it’s happened multiple times.

Often tens to hundreds of inspectors at most. Employed by these agencies are responsible for inspecting tens of thousands of sites each across several States because they are so under staffed and funded. And you want to guess who’s responsible?

No, they needed a good gun, with a guy.
