It's about to have more potential for growth.
Arch, Void, Arch, Gentoo, Arch, Arch,...you're all making me feel like a basic removed.

Got bored and made a custom
/etc/issuefile for my Void Linux machines. It displays a colour Void Linux logo along with kernel version, tty number and date on login. The file is here just copy it to/etc/issueor you can preview it using agetty. Feel free to change it to suit.
I've changed my /etc/issue file, but it doesn't display when logging into tty2, or through ssh, or a new terminal. Is it meant to be displayed by .bash_profile or similar?
People who want near-perfect distribution of power often talk about the serverless model. It's sounds like it might work for something like e-mail, but I don't see how it's possible for something like Lemmy. This comment it cached on every instance with one person who follows it.
Atm, keeping Lemmy going for a couple of days might require 50 Gigabytes and lots of bandwidth. If you put that on a mobile phone, it'll be a 50 Gig app, which will drain all your data in minutes.
But I think chatboards work well with servers, so it doesn't seem like a problem.
It was removed, and I was marked as a bot.
I am not a bot!
Having 'no single source of truth' is part of the joy.
If you're not happy with /r/cars moderators banning everyone who drives a Skoda, then you're out of luck. Here in federation land, you can just go to a different lemmy.something/c/cars place.
Of course you can still follow and interact with all the /c/cars communities from any Lemmy instance (and interact a little from Mastodon).
Nah - each service (Mastodon/ Pixelfed/ Kbin) requires its own app.
You can sign up to Mastodon, then follow the rest from there, but the experience won't be complete (no downvotes, for example).
It's all a little arbitrary. When you create a new service (like Lemmy, or Mastodon), you can have them link with anything, in any fashion you like. The defaults are mostly sensible.
For example, I've just made a mastodon post asking /r/casual a question. Once that synchronizes across, you'll see the topic over there.
Tbf, maybe a shitstorm of racist rants will make advertisers pull their ads, and start a bunch of bad press.
Maybe /r/conservative were playing 4D chess all along.
I think that setting works on a per instance basis. No need to worry.
Yea, always hated that one.
maybe Elon musk will save the children /YET I SPEAK FALSLY FOR HUMOROUS EFFECT AS MUSK WILL IN FACT NOT SAVE ANY CHILDREN
You're stepping on the joke, once by mentioning it, and again by ripping out the best thing about low-key sarcasm: that some people don't get the joke.
Frankly, its racist against the British.
I don't know why I keep hearing of security measures to stop someone sleuthing into bootloaders.
Am I the only person using Linux who isn't James Bond?
