Same it true the other way. Federation only only works with text and images are pulled from the original instances and there seems to be an issue with that.
Probably my favorite feature this console generation are the reduced loading times. It still blows my mind every time I start a game. Almost like in the good old times.
There is nothing more annoying than long loading times.
I saw someone recommending Aether aside from Lemmy and Kbin, what is it ? googling Aether give me...
"According to ancient and medieval science, aether, also known as the fifth element or quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere. "
@NormalTownLeader Hmm -- doesn't seem to me. They compare themselves to Reddit on their about page. I think it's just the fact that it is an app and has a similar layout to Discord that gives those vibes. The actual communities and posting style seem more Reddit/forum to me, or perhaps a hybrid of sorts.
@Quills its basically just chatrooms with synchronized video watching. I hate picking what to watch and i like to joke with other people about what we are watching. they also vote somehow but i haven't penetrated that far.
Considering the new European legislation, which forces interoperability between social networks and some speculate that's why Threads uses ActivityPub, wouldn't that force the European Fediverse to interact with Meta?
The DMA’s threshold is very high: companies will only be hit by the rules if they have an annual turnover of €7.5 billion within the EU or a worldwide market valuation of €75 billion. Gatekeepers must also have at least 45 million monthly individual end-users and 100,000 business users.
So instances will not be required to federate because they will not be making the thresholds. This could explain why Meta is going to use the ActivityPub protocol though, and is an interesting perspective on the issue.
@T156@z3n0x this is not something I had considered. I’m from the USA, we’ve got the best toilets to sit on for our pee pees and poo poos. Would love some insight into what the equivalent for the squat toilet regions.
I discovered him as a teenager in the late 2000s, and was surprised to rediscover him recently that he’s still reviewing Star Trek, and other sci-fi shows like The Orville, etc. Love his reviews even if I don’t always agree.
Also apparently he was invited to pitch stories to the Voyager writing crew, but they all sucked so they were not bought.
I had a really nice #LinuxGaming moment last night
I finally formatted one of my 1 TB SSDs as EXT4 to make room for #Steam games on my #ArchLinux install.
Then, I installed Transport Fever 2 and played it through my #SteamLink
And you know what? It just worked. It was a miracle! I just happily played for an hour without even noticing I'm not running #Windows. Zero tinkering. Thanks #Valve. ☺
My experience with Ubuntu was that it took me about as long to get it installed and set up the way I wanted as it would for a Windows installation. To get it up and running barebones is about the same as well, but Windows has so much bloatware and advertising that I refuse to allow on my computer. It also forcibly reinstalls software at every update that I removed previously because I just don’t need/want it there.
I can respect the lack of motivation to commit to learning to use a new OS though. It does take some adjustment, and sometimes there’s no alternative to specific software that you may need. For the most part though, it’s a pretty seamless transition nowadays.
