What was the countries if you don’t mind?

I moved from Sweden to France and that started out with a girl friend asking me out of the blue if I wanted to do a (studying) year in France? Sure why not?

Americans drinking lead water and testing cocaine to see if it cures laziness, fitting shoes with x-rays, you’re truly the most adventurous people in some ways!

Rejuvenation technology!

They have already rejuvenated an old mouse back to mid life!

It’s like battery tech though, small small increments.

Such a shame the remake with Moebius and Dali (among others) wasn’t made.

And what about the ass-coffee?

Sennheiser makes sturdy, and good sounding (IMO) headphones. You can buy anything too if it breaks or wears out to fix it when needed.

This means there are lots on the second hand market too.

Hey, don’t be shy ;-)

It feels like the nineties/2000 just called :-D

I pay 10€/m for “unlimited” 5G (186GB/month IIRC).

Yes, you cannot outrun the fork :-)

Ditch the sugar!

The problem is that they are thousands times bigger than us. All our voices will be drowned out, in what we all know, is an ad-driven post contest.

We can whine and cry but their predatory algorithms will just chew on our content and spit it back in, filled with ads, misinformation et al.

That’s why we dont want to federate with threads/facebook.

I’m around 100 percent with you.

Like we’re more than a million users, let it grow organically, not in some Reddit meme-crap way (or fusioning with fucking Facebook, guess how well that will go yeah).

But I have a question, I have blocked threads on my instance, I mean if there are no shenanigans (there will be ofc) are my instances safe? How does it work say if a user from my instance goes to lemmy.world? Isn’t it quite important that all servers block them off?

Cheers and fuck meta Facebook & threads

Thanks!

Interesting, how would you configure that? I mean if it’s easy, I could authorize, upload and remove the authorisation.

Edit: would it be so easy as adding the file extensions and ‘up’ the upload limit?

Okaay yeah that seems completely obvious when you think about it. I was a tee worried you’d have to like block everything everything :-)

If I don’t go the whole peertube way, I probably just link the videos. Good advice, thanks!

Thanks, I could start out just using someone’s peertube, but where is the fun and tinkering in that :-)

I will keep it in mind for a fallback solution though.

Oh man, I checked out Peertube and it’s amazing! Obviously overkill for my needs, but it seems like a really good platform (and it’s from France, yay!).

Only worry I have, will my instance “mirror” other I stances? I’m confident sharing videos because I know they won’t be looked at very much, but with a sort of decentralized cache system it could be costly (in bandwidth).

Some vitamines can be had too much too, so “overdosing” is a real possibility. A and D for example.

Well, my point was that even is he pays hosting fees (for example) the big job is managing it all, which we (mostly? all?) do for free. If a company wants to ear money hosting Lemmy, it’s gonna be either some big thing (host your own Lemmy for 5€/m) or one big instance like world, but it would cost a lot having paid people running it.

Guess my point was that he can pay a bit per month, but it won’t guarantee anything at all. He’s probably better off joining a medium-big free instance in the short medium and long run.

Now, this is just what I think :-) !
