Maybe mossball formed around some type of reservoir core with a low permiability? More watering than normal I’m sure but maybe more of a every 2 days scenario.

2 is ideal, they need a buddy! But it also keeps the hierarchy simple.

The pitfalls of beta, glad you got it sorted. 🙂

My big fear with this stuff is security. It just seems so “easy”, without knowledgeable people, for AI to write a product that functions from a user perspective but is wide open to attack.

What instance? I just had success with piefed.world

Migrate is a strong word, more like you can copy your settings, it’s certainly not intrinsic to the standard either. Remember, your username includes your instance after all. I am not deeply versed but one of the better platforms was Mastodon and it was still limited to moving your settings and followers to your new account and setting the old one to forward. Posts weren’t reattributed or anything though.

The strength of the fediverse is how the data is duplicated and how it’s the sum of many parts, but maintaining an “identity” on the fediverse is still wobbly, some like that though, it leans into the privacy/anonymity side of things.

Eh don’t love it but “first 24 months” implies ‘news accounts’ to me.

Win XP has a 64bit edition, it was just never the default.

Always wild to me how good that place is while being in an otherwise kind of random mountain tourist town.

I’ve seen it off and on in random Lemmy and Reddit talks, along with some of the usual “best xyz” article search results, that you take with a grain of salt. Though in these days where even Lemmy has its boting I take dang near everything with a bit of salt. Lucky me that I’m a bit of a salt fiend.

Emphasis on it being conversations for true blue noobs haven’t dabbled and may not be very technical. To your point Mint and Ubuntu are right there next to it. By way of comparison I actually use Cachy and it’s not “hard” but I would not give it to my parents.

Manipulating people. Pushing value and rhetoric “as a fellow American” when you’re a bot in Russia.

Ok, that explains the references. What’s up with the downvoting? I see the Nordic/Islandic connection, is artificial use of the character some kind of white supremacists viking dog whistle or something?

Makes sense for the reference s, thanks, what’s the subtext leading to the downvotes?

They actually come up relatively often in the true newby conversations. They put a big emphasis on making the OS feel like Windows by default to make people more comfortable as they look at switching.

Clearly something’s going on here, but I’m uninformed, would you mind doing an ELI5? I figure it all ties to the weird characters they used.

Ok, well now it really needs to be. By comparison at least. Would be more on-brand than a can of Vegemite. Petition to update!

I think this would be incrementally less ridiculous if they hadn’t, presumably, scaled the images causing them all to be the same size/height on the page.

There’s always a niche instance but my example gives it a valid, but disposable, connection to complete setup, it can totally ping that server there at the beginning and give the all clear. And then you turn off that disposable Wi-Fi signal.

We shouldn’t be forced to do these things, but connect it to a junk wifi signal setup using tethering or something and once setup is done, disable it.

Absolutely, but it does feel like things have spiked a bit recently.
