It doesnt mean anything but its good to get these kind of practices while Lemmy is still small. It seems the.migration process has come along way since 2 years ago.

Hopefully one day we can copy and pay entire threads and comments into the new community or have 100% transfer.

Thats fine???

Linux allows for freedom. There is room for For-Profit distro’s that have data collection and whatever.

They broadly arent really very techy and absolutely hate the idea of anything new. So nah they broadly hate federation and adopting any new platforms.

Especially given that the fediverse already has a culture of being actively anti racism and hate they wouldnt be able to move here without getting instantly defederated and they know this. I’m sure the leftypol commies are already here.

If you subscribe to someone on tumblr then yes. Otherwise i dont think so.

I can’t see this image in the mobile app

Want more time? Just buy it back guys.

No I think even if they did that I wouldnt trust it. The protocol is 100% controlled by a profit seeking company. That means it will 100% turn into a platform that tries to monitize its users for all theyre worth. Public benefit corporation is a meme and has no actual restrictions.

I think the technical imperfections are not the real reason people are against it. In my opinion it just can’t be trusted to have a corp in control. It would be like having Microsoft own the activity pub repo.

This may be a dumb question.

Why are we wasting time and money fighting over a legal clause in a piece of free and open source software? Can someone explain why someone would need to sue mastodon? I dont understand what rights people feel they need to demand from mastodon because you always have the option to use it how you choose.

Its expensive to draft and consult lawyers even when its pro bono. It expends time from mastodon project and the lawyers and there is only a finite amount of pro bono work the lawyers are willing to give.

How does flatpak make money? I feel like I should be paying for the bandwidth im using since it can’t be cheap.

Sick wallpaper and good distro taste.

Fair, there is no reason not to.

Yeah this will do absolutely nothing.

A big problem with the data collection is how hidden and one sided it is. On here its out in the open, we say how it works and the data is available for anyone. On Facebook its hidden for users to speculate on what’s being collected and only Facebook and the people they sell it to have access.

Data is very useful for making cool tools that enhance user experience and it can also be dangerous. I think the fediverse is privacy conscious enough to find the right balance.

Personally i dont think we’ve found it and need to do more to preserve privacy.

I’m already paying my instance and lemmy and kinda loyal to it. I’d alsp like to properly support the software i use before trying to support content creators. One day in the future something like communick would be appealing.

The website says 20% of the profit is donated? Does that mean to charities?

When you freed up the disk space windows seems to have broken mints bootloader partition. You could fix it if you wanted, but at beginner level its probably best to reinstall. If you need to recover any data from you “broken” mint partition you can plug the mint USB in, boot into the live environment and look in your files mount you old mint files and backup anything you want to keep before reinstalling.

Depends on how much of a nerd you are. If the idea of rescuing your system using the terminal sounds fun then try otherwise just reinstall.

What is “our data” in the case of Lemmy. Specifically.

Yeah, nothing wrong with using endeavour i just dont consider that to be arch. I’m mainly triggered by steamOS users saying thry use arch. That drives me insane.

I swear most of the people that talk about using arch these days dont even use arch and instead use distros downstream of arch.
