You're missing the forest through the trees if your take is that anyone is directly comparing the severity of these two issues. The point is that any instance owner that doesn't have the proper framework in place to mount a legal argument or defense is in a highly vulnerable position regardless of the content.

Being in the right doesn't matter if you can't afford the price tag associated with proving it. Just responding to a subpoena or a lawsuit has a non-zero cost associated with it.

More applicable to comments than posts... Used as "I don't like this" stifles conversation. For example, the comment that we're replying to has been downvoted two to one. It's a legitimate comment that is worthy of conversation but that won't happen because downvoting is being used as a "I don't like this" button. It inevitably creates an echo chamber.

Don’t have a solution for everything but did want to mention that brew is as viable for Linux as it is for MacOS, except for casks. I tend to use an Ubuntu or Debian base layer and then use brew to pull in all the packages that I know I will always want later and more diverse options than what’s available in the distro, e.g. ffmpeg, Python.

Binary Sunset. Luke staring pensively out into the distance as he considers his place in the universe and where it may or may not go. I’d be staggered to find anyone who can’t relate to that.

A key factor is LINUX has been available for ARM since nearly "the beginning". Unlike Windows, which was basically Intel only for well over a decade, LINUX has had strong support for multiple architectures throughout its lifecycle. As a result, software that grew up within that ecosystem tended to be more agnostic in design which helps porting efforts.

Relative to what? Relative to LINUX on Intel? Relative to Windows on ARM?

BC titles remain available through the current store.

There's plenty of us here but we're not as noticeable. We're old enough that we've learned to stop incessantly complaining about shit that doesn't matter yet not so old that all we do is incessantly complain about shit that doesn't matter.

Circle of life.

I'm an older X. Another ten years and I'll be on my porch yelling "get off my lawn" and "not in my backyard", carrying on the tradition laid out by my forefathers.

True dat. I've been running it about seven weeks and am pulling about 700 communities. Most have near zero traffic but the high volume ones do add up.

By design, yes, but there's a number of things that can go wrong that can cause the remote instances to not receive (or comply with) the instruction to do so.

I use Lemmy Community Seeder. Every four hours it checks the top posts on instances you specifies and automatically subscribes you to communities that appear there but you aren't already subscribed to. You can tweak it to ignore specific communities or instances.

Only because I can read the whole thing significantly faster than Reddit.
