You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
I see. Not aware on what happens on each instance. I guess their house their rules. Always another instance to join or can create your own.
By censorship do you mean curated content? I’ve my own filters that I apply and have no concerns with instances having their own criteria. There are also legal boundaries such minimum age criteria, content type, etc…
I signed up on the browser. The error message I see is below which is scarce on details. ¯\(ツ)/¯
And thanks for taking time to reply, appreciate it.
Thank you for confirming. As a new instance applicant, no information was provided on the rejection reason and was left with uncertainty.
Apologies for not fulfilling the requests. From my perspective, I’m on lemmy to avoid a corporate environment. However, the requests seemed a bit too corporate, akin to a cover letter to a job application (why I’d like to join the instance and which communities I’ll participate in). Also don’t feel like sharing personal information about my username.
If the intention is to weed out problem users there’s a way of checking a user’s post and comment’s history.
None of this matters, you’re free to accept and deny at will and I simply fedback my experience.
All of this stuff uses up a lot of space, around 200MB, which is greater than the standard root partition size in Openwrt. I run it on an x86 box (PC Engines APU2) and the internal SSD is 16GB. Every update I needed to expand the root partition size to be able to fit all the packages previously installed. I now build my own images with expanded root partition to avoid the hassle.
This is what I use. Openwrt with a USB HDD attached to it. Radicale2 deals with caldav stuff. Samba4 shares the HDD over the network. Zerotier gets me connected to the home network when out and about. Syncthing on my router and phone. When I charge my phone it automatically backs up my pictures and documents folder into the HDD. Separate offline copy of the HDD every few months for backup. Not as fast or dedicated as NAS but cost effective solution. Openwrt solves most of my networking needs.

Didn’t bother going through the hoops and installed EndeavourOS which is arch-based with some additional default applications.
For me, the best thing of Arch isn’t the distribution but the Arch wiki. An impressive piece of documentation.
I had issues with Manjaro and WiFi disconnecting. Also, Manjaro dropped hardware acceleration for video codecs. Eventually got too annoyed to deal with the Manjaro direction and moved to EOS. Everything is working fine barring a script to get the headphones volume to work (recognised as bass speaker in alsa paths). So far, EOS has been the set and forget type of OS for me.
Windows runs my laptop harder, uses more battery and the fans are spinning a lot of times whist it runs almost silent in Linux. I’ve settled on EndeavourOS which has given me a headache-free experience for my hardware (lenovo yoga pro 7 7840hs). Only keep widows for BIOS updates otherwise I’d have nuked that hodge podge of software melange.
If you’re really set on windows you could try tiny11 to remove most of the bloat.
25·1 year agoWell, hello there Don Draper
The intention is meritable. As usual, Tories misunderstand how to achieve the stated objective. They’ll be creating a secondary market whereby those born before 2009 will supply cigarettes to those born after 2009… for a fee of course. Party of business and entrepreneurialship.
Also, drinking yourself into a stupor seems to be socially acceptable in the UK whilst the cost is much larger.
Cigarettes were already heavily taxed in the UK anyway. The relative share of smokers is much lower compared to places like France.

If the goal is to improve everyone’s well-being, is this the best way to achieve it?
The AI centipede era has begun
Yeah, completely agree. YouTube commodified a certain style, people tend to copy it even when they’re not great communicators, and the whole excitement akin to a Labrador salivating is quite undignified.
What about images sent from Japan? Aren’t they all pixelated by default? /s
It’s not clear what split between bots and humans is but I’m gonna be bold and assert that bots comprise the majority of engagement. Those pesky inventions shouldn’t be allowed to write our holy language, they created nothing, contribute nothing and regurgitate the same verbiage slop. And ever more present in everyday life like in banking or other services.
This seems more human, idiots and all alike, agreeing or not, most comments seem from actual people. There’ll be a time when human engagement will be exploited at a premium as corpos seize and try to monetise ever more of the human experience. Federated platforms will be the bastions of human connectivity, these or other similar platforms without a profit motive. I’d rather engage with people.
