why did you link to a kbin view of another post right here on !linux@lemmy.ml ?

first I've heard of it, but I'm skeptical of their claim to deliver security fixes faster than firefox.

in some ways: they now sanitize input so things like the xss attack a while ago is much much harder.

will it solve the ddos attacks they're experiencing? nope.

It can be easy to be nose-blind to your own smell, trust me its easy to stink enough to be offensive to others but not notice yourself.

They're doing you a favor by letting you know. Just take the extra moment and put some on in the morning. Just don't overdo it and douse yourself in body spray; too much body spray is nasty too.

There's nothing wrong with solid old file systems; ext4 is almost 17 and no one complains about it,

lemmy can run on a decent variety of hardware, just has to be some thing left on 24/7 and exposed to the internet (be careful, the internet is a hostile place... mine was getting scanned and poked constantly until I put it behind cloudflare and then locked the firewall down to just let in cloudflare), and of course more users take more powerful hardware.

For my personal just me instance though, I'm just running it on a Raspberry Pi 4 I run some other stuff on. Uses less than a gig of memory.

some instances let anyone create their own community (lemmy equivalent of subreddit)

I'd recommend tech experience before setting up your own lemmy server ( instance); the internet is a hostile place with random pcs poking servers 24/7

a bug that was/will be fixed that mostly stoped posts from aging properly. it and some other nice things should be in the next release.

don't worry, its already fixed. should be in the next release.

On my personal instance I'm running a build with that and its properly giving nice recent posts ( including the OP)

dnf is to apt as rpm is to dpkg.

The first pair are the nice user friendly front ends that pull things in and install from the repos.

The latter are the guts that directly handle the raw packages and are used by the frontends.

I want the ability to sideload, Apple is very much a walled garden.

I enjoy having the ability to use custom roms.

I've been generally happy with all the android phones I've used in the past and see no reason to change that.

My home room in middle school was one of the few classrooms that had windows pcs. They used deepfreeze to reset them daily, but I found some program that actually disabled it. I think I just installed firefox or chrome and then ran windows updates because they always had the annoying yellow shield system tray icon for windows updates needed.
