False. Browsers can announce themselves as desktop or mobile, or even advertise pre-determined fake window and screen sizes for this purpose (in Firefox it’s called “letterboxed” in the hidden settings). There is no need for a server to have any of this information anyway - either the design of the webpage should be responsive by default, or the server can send specifically whichever files for styles the browser specifically asks for, perhaps falling back to a “all.css” or something.

A fair warning when joining Piefed: they incorporate a number of CCP-style “Social Credit” underhanded measures, so any criticism of eg.: “tankies” from that side is if anything at least negligently myopic.

A local community also makes it much easier to check humanity vs botness. Just summon the members to an open meeting at the local cat café and exchange GPG keys or something, like in the good ol’ days.

chances are worse than not that there’s no activity in the community built for that one game.

Bold of you to assume there even is a community instead of just a random mention in !games@insta.nce !

“Hashtags-as-a-service”? I can’t see why we’d need this. Hashtags already exist.

Oh glad to see there’s quite some representation around.

Now, we have to add to it.

(I should really adopt a non-photogenic cat sometime)

Unironically this. We need cute animals. Cats, owls, moths, capibaras, pangolins. If we’re not gonna have one of the two “true movers” of the internet (porn and correcting people who are wrong) we need something good to compensate.

It’s 2026. We’ve more than accepted that the people who simp for capitalism are the problem.

The trick is starting a community, but delegating moderation to someone else. Admin ≠ Mod.

We’ve always been ready. Ready for the drama. 🍿

Fortunately, here we are in charge of our blocks (for the most part).

Unsure about the IETF and WHATWG, but if at all, they’ll be better than the W3C. The W3C was, and still is, a group co-opted by GAFAM to essentially make the web as hard as possible to implement so that only big corpo can “do it correctly”, and they brought us wondrful features such as literally DRM in the HTML Standard.

To this day the W3C is one of the big reason the internet doesn’t progress.

This, worded in far more technical terms than I had understood back at the time, is one of the reasons why I’ve always opposed the idea of “merging” communities in the Fediverse. Merging views is fine, but merging the communities themselves and all that this means (focus, themes, memberships, rules, censorships, timezones…) is just Not.

, but installing lemmy means supporting an authoritarian

Have you ever transported yourself in a Ford, or derived, vehicle?

Piefed is known to incorporate CCP-style shadow profile and similar measures, such as “Social Credit”, so it’d be hilarious to complain about l.ml’s alignment to then migrate to piefed of all places.

Terms of Use / Terms of Service are different from Licenses. That said, even if it was compatible that would be a good thing, as the impression I’ve got is that the “hard-liner” Free Software licenses are becoming a thing of the past now that what is needed is “Ethical Source” licenses, that eg.: restrict usage in AI.

I mean, from that perspective, sure. But if the main concern is lack of storage, SSDs currently are of no help with that compared to HDDs (let alone with production being shifted over to serve AIs and datacenters).

Perhaps a dual SSD solution, but still would have to be planned with the potential outcome of either upgrading one of the SSDs or add a third one.

Any decent native client (Pidgin, Conversations, Gajim, etc) will cover most of the important stuff, so it might be worth checking who among those might be willing (+ people contributing) to track development after Movim.

Yup! And, if you are careful and lucky when picking your instance, you won’t need to migrate in the short or medium time either.

But also, like in the forums of old, nothing precludes you from keeping more accounts if it’s useful (eg.: for keepig different topics or subs). I’m just too lazy to.

I’m using sdf half because they are part of a service I already paid for and half because I’m too lazy to make myself more accounts somewhere else.
