There was a really good discussion recently which will give you some ideas - see https://piefed.social/post/436507?sort=top

It’s a developed country, lol

Nokia (was massive) Siemens ASML SAP

This is so steampunk I love it

I made !antisocialmedia@piefed.social for all the drama at social media companies

PieFed has a trans theme, btw

Have you looked into using zram?

Actually pretty close to how it was.

People on the radio keep talking about this revolutionary information superhighway which sounds grand but no one you know has an internet connection but you read in the newspaper that in a town nearby there is one in a public library. You travel there and find a single computer. There are no instructions and none of the staff know how it works. When you ask to see “the internet” they show you an icon to click and leave you to it. You click it, strange noises happen for a bit then stop and nothing happens, the computer seems frozen. Maybe you broke it but then literally 10 minutes later it un-freezes and you see a list on the screen:

• alt.binaries.mom
• alt.binaries.misc
• alt.binaries.warez
• alt.binaries.etc
• alt.binaries.warez.flightsim
• and so on, hundreds of them
• comp.lang.c
• comp.lang.perl
• comp.lang.prolog
• blah blah gibberish

Ok none of that sounds like an “information superhighway” so close the window and go back home.

Lemmy has moderators and admins which remove CSAM. Plebbit was intentionally built in such a way that no one can remove anything. Extensive discussion of this at the OP’s original post https://lemmy.world/post/23704373. Ctrl-F for “censorship”

Something tells me the “I don’t host CSAM I just host posts that embed/link to CSAM (from other hosts)” argument won’t hold up in court.

Human-readable names are a critical feature.

YouTube is usually the first thing I open on first boot of a new machine. That way I know if the sound is working, network is working and video drivers are ok all at once.

They eventually say that, yeah. But only after first saying a bunch of other misleading stuff.

Very misleading article. They’re not shutting down wordpress.org, just the registration of new accounts, plugin, etc

What you’re seeing is the result of decades of new ways to install stuff being added at different times. As a new way is added all the old ways still need to work because getting everyone to switch to the new way is impossible. There is no central authority making these decisions, it’s more of a marketplace of ideas with different ‘sellers’ competing for attention.

They’re deindexing ALL news, not just the union website.

Although, the penalty for non-compliance is 10% of global turnover which would amount to close to £0 for most.

They probably had no idea it would be this bad.

I use my searxng instance several times a day.

DNS server/cache/pihole. If that goes down I can’t browse anything.

I also selfhost a SaaS that I built. It’s essential to me that it’s available to my customers although I don’t use it personally.

Ehh, it’s ok in the case of JetBrains - if your subscription lapses your license converts to a ‘perpetual fallback license’ so can just continue using the version you installed when the subscription was originally purchased.

I’m using a 4 year old version of PhpStorm with no issues and no subscription. My PyCharm sub ended 6 months ago and I’m staying on the 2023 version of PyCharm because the latest version comes with lots of AI which makes my CPU fans scream continuously.
