And plenty who don’t know you can GNU without Linux.

Mixed feelings on this. Cool tool, great idea. On the other hand, it’s also an effective tracker. Not privacy friendly.

Lemmy.world is hosted in Finland. 230 is not applicable.

Lots of steps to “figure it out”. Could’ve just pinged the hostname.

Not a big secret. Pretty sure they even announced it.

I like to save them for a rainy day when I need an OCD fix.

Agreed. I’ve probably got 100 keys registered with GitHub and 98 of them the private key is long destroyed due to OS reinstalls or whatnot. Format machine, new key. New machine, new key.

As you suspect, only during the sixty or so seconds that they are valid.

SMS-based codes tend to be longer lived.

They’re useless without your other authentication factors, e.g. login, password.

Because every OS they ship with they need to support. Lenovo already has a viable, cost effective, support model for endlessos because they ship and support it for educational customers.

It’s not commercially viable for them support other OS that there is near no demand for relative to their overall sales.

Your assertions are not supported by industry analysis.

While this years survey is closed, the results haven’t been published. In last year’s survey, MacOS slightly edged out Linux, moving to second place.

Can’t speak for kbin but Lemmy doesn’t collect or store IP addresses at all.

Aka PATA or IDE hard disks. Basically consumer grade kit.

The statement that the kernel would only ever handle IDE was basically a confession that this would never be a product suitable for enterprise or professional use where SCSI was the typical interface.

In addition to the reasons already mentioned, Apple has a requirement that applications have a novel component. While it’s often questionable as to what is considered “novel” Weather applications get contrasted against the built-in weather app. If the app simply duplicates the functionality it will be rejected.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Federation is enabled by default. Defedersting takes explicit action…

None (by Lemmy), as Lemmy doesn’t actually request the image (that would be proxying). Your browser requests the image directly by URL. Lemmy, technically, doesn’t even know an image exists. It just provides the HTML and lets your browser do the work.

Indeed. !test@mylemmy.win is my community for, well, testing. It has 63 subscribers. One is me, the rest are bots that managed to find the community.
