I had the same battle with Samsung over my fridge. Never buying a Samsung fridge again after this, had 2 replacements under warranty since October 2020, which is when I bought it.

Totally disagree, the more tech savvy can spin up their own single used instances if they want, be fully in control of their own content and participate just like anyone on any large instance bar being defederated. All for basically free

I am in the UK and that’s really useful to know. Thanks

Pihole my is choice too. It’s pretty good, but for some reason video ads still get through even off YouTube? Is it possible to block them?

Hasn’t caught on pfft dude why are you even replying when you clearly know nothing about the tech except for it’s bad for the planet we haven’t even got into how it could be powered with renewables (when its applied within a crypto currency that is)

Good day to you sir

Except it’s been around for decades and put to good use but you’ve only heard of it from crypto and are referring to crypto.

It’s a small foot print for a real user and expensive for bots who are generating enmasse. It worked on Windows 98 PCs so isn’t really an issue like you describe.

Have you heard of hashcash, it’s POW precursor to bitcoin. It stops spam, was originally developed for email but could be incorporated into Lemmy eventually on sign up. Principal is similar to what you suggest.

I think this is a feature, well the media aspect anyway. Immutable media. The rest can be developed on.

Thanks!

It’s nice-to-have if shit really did hit the fan economically and hyper inflation took over. Glad the hype is over though.

I have no idea what’s going on, what’s the story can I be linked to anything?

Quite similar games though from what I have read about starfield

I think it should be incorporated into Lemmy as a chat function. Also been thinking if I could develop it, I have experience with XMPP from an application my employer creates.

Lol Chuck Norris jokes, now that’s, a throwback

Is Reddit having issues again right now? I can’t load the site properly in the last 5 mins

This is brilliant! I had just took a look at /r/pics without logging in and can see its just now filled with John Oliver pics

There are a lot of bad teachers unfortunately

If I self hosted my own Lemmy on my home server, just for myself and I posted / uploaded images on it, when another user from another instance views my image, they cache it, would this mean later down the line if I deleted to free up server space, if someone else on that instance was to come across my image after deletion, because it was previously cached, the image would still show?

Wondering if rolling storage is possible eventually, where an archive of posts older than 2 years is performed and data deleted.
