Poison would’ve been way too subtle for Homelander. But I was expecting him decorating the cake with some caretaker-guts.

I like that they still nail having Homelander go from pathetic in one episode, to absolutely terrifying in another. Also, what was the ending about with Hughie’s dad? He clearly got a Compound V shot, but who gave it to him? Also, if his dad doesn’t take well to being suped up, it’d be brutal if Hughie had to devise a plan to kill his own dad.

I doubt they’ll stop. Sony realized that having a lot of people on your platform already inflates its value just by itself. With their pivot to PC gaming, it makes sense that they’d be heavy-handed about it. I for one will not join them.

Can take awhile, it doesn’t always seem to like being quiet

I hope they bill Sony ten times of what they are losing out on now. They need to set a precedent that no other publisher will want to repeat what Sony did.

As I understand it, 3) already happens. What causes the load is that each connected instance is also loading and caching the preview.

While I think that many are ok with ‘trying out’ Lemmy by joining a random instance at first, I also have seen numerous threads in which users are complaining about not being able to subscribe to communities they are interested in, only to be told that the instance hosting the communities they are interested in is blocked by their instance. I don’t think it makes for a good first impression to join a Lemmy instance, only to be immediately told that you need to join another instance to see the content you are interested in.

One benefit of Mastodon not mentioned is that the activitypub protocol is used by more services than Mastodon. I personally am looking to switch to Kbin or Mbin, whenever those become usable alternatives, as they allow me to interact both with Lemmy and Mastodon.

No, but I won’t be in that situation anyways.

I mean, it’s better than some mobile games that have cost people even more than 50 grand through incremental purchases. Here you get every ship.

And that is why I don’t torrent, living in Germany. Even just leeching will put you on the radar of, at best scam law firms, at worst motivated rights-holders.

In theory at least, online services would be more safe than a locally decrypted vault. If your computer is compromised, the bad actors can pull your encrypted vault for an unlimited brute force attack. Of course, this can be mitigated by increasing the decryption time. However, if your vault is already decrypted, then bad actors can just pull all your password from your memory.

I, for one, am decrypting my vault once when I start my PC. In theory, if I were to use an online solution, bad actors wouldn't be able to pull my vault from memory.

What you can do to mitigate the error right now is to refresh after using the back button. It will load the correct, previous page.

You are only shown what your server has stored. Your server only stores what people of your instance have subscribed to. If you visit bogger instances, they all have different Hot feeds, because each server pulls different content. There is no one way to see what is going on in all of the fediverse. You are only ever shown a part.

Lemmy is having an identity crisis of sorts. It was built to be decentralized yet we (users) seem to want to centralize everything and we all go to a few of the largest instances.

Because decentralization, at least as it is now, runs counter to what people are looking for in a social media platform; mainly discoverability.

Peak lemmy algorithm strikes again.

There is no algorithm on Mastodon and it doesn’t need an algorithm to make content more discoverable. What is needed, first and foremost, is a reliable way to find and follow creators without jumping through hoops.

Right now, there is no way to discover profiles your server isn’t already federating. People need to be findable.

How can a platform be enshittified when it is by design federated and can, as such, have defederated communities?

That is a recurring, moronic take. If you want a small community, go choose a small, defederated instance. Don’t declare that Mastodon/the Fediverse should by design be hostile to people reliant on discoverability.
