Ah, I didn't know it was all at once, yeah sounds more like what you said in the other comment about Hetzner or providers pruning customers then.

Could this be due to the .ml and a few other domains thing again? The issuer is gradually pulling all of the free domains from people, while leaving the paid users active until their term is up.

One for people in the US:

You aren't taxed at the higher rate for all of your income when you get a raise that puts you in a higher tax bracket, only the part that is in the range of that bracket specifically. The rest of your income below the bracket is taxed the same as before.

I've seen a lot of people decline promotions and raises over this, and bosses are very happy to let you continue thinking that's how it works.

Not sure if that counts as not common knowledge, but a lot of people I know didn't know it before.

It can be used similarly as a lite version of KDE Connect, but KDE Connect is for pairing a dedicated device to your PC. This will allow sharing between phones on the same network as well, and allows easier use for usecases like quickly sharing a file to your friend who has their phone connected to your wifi, without making a permanent pairing of the devices.

You could do the same with KDE Connect but you have to set it up on your friends device and allow permissions and all that. With this, you just choose the files and send, and it can work over a link you send instead if the other person doesn't want to install the app. This is a much simpler version for one-time file transfers and for devices not owned by you/not trusted.

I think they're actually planning on adding that soon, one of the devs mentioned it during their AMA that it's one of the next big features they plan to try to tackle. (Edit: looks like the work is mostly done, it's just under review https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3869)

Also kbin already has it, but I prefer Lemmy's UI much more so I just deal without having user instance blocking for now
