Might not be the most popular answer on this platform but it is the most seamless and easy for me. The integration between chrome and android is really nice.

Not that other options are difficult but the only reason I can see to migrate is ideological which is completely fair. I would probably do it if I was younger and had more time and effort to deal with it.

Intel marketing seems to be going all in on using generic names to trick people into buying lower end parts. They changed the marketing of Celeron/Pentium to the most generic "Intel processor" line up. Now when you specify to make sure you buy an "ultra" chip it's easy for the layman to buy the lowest end chip out of ignorance.

Unfortunately Lemmy currently lacks sophisticated moderation tools and any other tools other than full defederation. From Beehaw's statements they would really have rather has options other than full defederation.

One way defederation and/or providing other instances read only access to a Lemmy would probably be very helpful feature to have. While not the most useful at the moment, since everything is so new, being able to vary other instances access on their instances age and age of accounts would probably be helpful in reducing the worst of the trolling/spam.

The biggest issue for me is the way that federation works is not really designed for self hosting. Self hosting means you manually have to search out and add outside communities.

Yeah solution has been to sort by daily top. Not ideal but gets the job done. Really unfortunate timing to have a bug like that with the hot sorting.

Not ideal for me. I like to keep tabs on the conversation on post. I will often see a post that is making its way up the page with a few comments and will check back in as I am browsing when it has hundreds.

Unfortunately I don't know of any other platform that would pay creators like YouTube does which is half the reason the YouTube keeps creators.

I hate the crypto bros as much as but I wonder if there is a way to set up a federated video sharing network that has a $5 monthly fee and distribute it over the creators you watcher over the month.

My understanding is that as rates have gone way down the last couple of years and it wouldn't surprise me if Google just has less high quality ads and is dipping into the crappy cheaper ad buys to fill the space.

There are two differing thoughts on federation I have seen.

1. That servers/instances are only a means to provide people access to the network. They should be not gate keep or restricted access to the entire network. In this case it's like email were you expect to be able to send anyone a message no matter who is their provider. In this case blocking instances is only to stop malicious and misbehaving instances.

2. As a way for seperate distinct communities converse with eachother. In this case if there is an instance that is detrimental to the culture of your instance you can block it from interacting with your instance.

While I appreciate the theory of the first idea in practice I believe second out come can't be stopped as people self sort into communities.

Ferries are an important mass transit method but they have a huge issue which is their speed. The seabus for example averages around 15km/h and while the speed would probably be a bit faster with longer route the cruising speed is only 21km/h.

For connections where there is not rail or road crossing nearby and the distance over water is not that great they can very useful.

One page rules also has general soloplay rules so worst case you can alternate take turns on your side and go by the rules for ae "AI" opponent

I've been thinkg of getting a refebushed 1 litre office PC and a couple external HDDs to build a basic starter NAS for cheap.
