I would recommend using a keyd layout for this

I use f2fs on ssd's and ext4 on hdd's

I don't see the need for snapshots, I backup externally

It has been argued by many that cats have actually domesticated humans

This is actually extremely difficult to study

A fork wouldn't help anything at all, the problem is that nobody is working on the patches not that the devs won't accept them

How did you get swayfx on sericea?

that was one of my only blockers for switching.

Not at all, it was annoying for a few weeks when reddit imploded but since then I haven't had any problems.

I brute forced my way through learning starcraft, it took literal years to get out of the bronze league, probably my most played game of all time. Can't wait for immortal gates of pyre.

Did she hate him or something?

He said worst, not best.

Not in the long-run. This is absolutely a temporary issue due to the beta quality of lemmy.

Yeah, you can always make your own scrappy little website. But you’ll be an island few to no users will want to visit and support if you’re competing with the other players. That, or you catch on and grow to the point where you yourself become the villain.

that's exactly what federation prevents... you can be a scrappy little website and federate, and then you don't need a massive infrastructure that would cause enshittification later. If you enshittify, people will just leave to other parts of the fediverse, the model causes enshittification to just be the failure of your website.

This is different from the world wide web in that the content is not partitioned. I can get the same lemmy experience if I go elsewhere, and not lose out on content. If there's a major new privacy concern on my instance, i'm going to say fuck them and leave, and I'll lose nothing.

Also, “no profit motive”? Where critical masses of people gather, entrepeneurs surely follow. Someone will figure out a way to monetize hosting a Fediverse instance. Hell, Threads tried, sort of. That alone won’t immediately enshittify the whole Fediverse. But given enough time and growth, well, see above.

Except they'll inevitably fail aside from the people who legitimately don't care, and quite frankly, if they don't care, who does? Just go to another instance if that happens, you'll lose nothing, and it won't even be a problem.

Federation makes the part of enshittification where you box in your users not work. The reason facebook could enshittify is because if you left facebook, you'd lose ALL of facebook. They trapped people. You can't trap people like that on the fediverse. The first step fails inevitably, you'll just make everyone on your instance hate you and they'll leave for literally any other instance and it will die.

The fediverse doesn't work well with profit motive because of that, the only real way to profit without causing anybody who knows anything about what you're doing maliciously to leave is... what exactly?

When leaving has no cost, there's no way to force people to stay if you do something shitty.

Even if you keep some users, meh, they won't keep me, and i'll lose nothing by switching.
