Caching should be quicker and less dependent on all sources. Can't say if that is the actual reason here, but those are typical reasons to cache or copy stuff. That also means it is still operational (to a degree) if the other servers are down or slow. Realtime operation makes sense if everything is from one source and is under 100% control. At least in my opinion.
That's great! I didn't know this (obviously). I will read into this option more, before making changes. It's not something I need much often (really only happened a few times in a decade). But its good to know!
That's because federated content is probably copied, rather than linked.
Oh, I deleted my reply a while ago. But you seem to be able to see it still.
The Videos name change is meant, if I mount the folder on my drive to /home/name/Videos, then next time I mount anything to that place when replacing the drive, then /home/name/Videos will stay the same. That means any application using that path won't change. That's the majority how I use my multiple internal drives. I just mount them to fixed positions I use for decades, like in my home.
I prefer directories over partitions, because I can easily rename directories and place them to other places without ever partitioning or resizing again.
Why? Are you talking about removing the drive that contains /?
About the not being able to boot, no I don't mean the drive that contains the root /. When I mount drives with the /etc/fstab file, then the system tries to mount them on boot time. If the directory that is mounted or the drive is no longer available or I unplug it (lets say when I replace my Documents drive), then at boot time the system tries to mount something that does no longer exist in their view, according to the fstab file.
By default (at least on my current system EndevaourOS, based on Arch) the system stops booting. It gives me the option to ignore that mount entry, so I can boot again. But if I had not this option to ignore, then one has to edit the /etc/fstab file to outcomment those sections; in example with a boot cd or usb drive. Normally not a problem, but just telling it here, so in case you know what to do (if you ever go that route).
For anyone who is not aware, Waydroid is not just an emulator, it makes Android apps seamlessly integrated into the system like local applications (obviously with limitations and only to a certain degree!).

The problem with this approach is, that they get to decide who is a journalist and who is not.
I don't know man, chat apps and systems like Twitter and Mastodon aren't a good place for journalism. I had to stop using both, its just full of chats and any kind of messages from all over the place, including advertisements and links and what not. Not a good place to discuss anything. To me these are just advertisement platforms.
It's still useful with all its functionality. Even if it does not get updates, it still blocks most stuff and I can enable or block stuff too. Plus the blocklists it uses are still updated, as they act independently from the main addon. There is no better alternative in my opinion. I use uMatrix + uBlock Origin.
It was probably just a joke.
I wasn't talking about the technical implementation or differences in how they are handled, but more of a personal judgement. To me every Sponsored link is an advertisement, everywhere, not only in Firefox.
Right, but that is only a problem if no efforts to remove this content are done after finding it out. I mean like in YouTube or any other forum. But yes, that is still one of those problems that could occur, additional maintenance. Question is, if this is a real problem and also defederation from a certain instance or blocking a specific user is also still possible.
Just thinking about, I don't know how editing is different from deleting. If I want something to be deleted, then I could just edit it before the deletion? So it should be gone sooner this way, if ever.
