How would Fediverse instances deal with a net split? I assume local content would continue as normal, but federated posts would queue up until a route became available?

Could a server admin run a low bandwidth satellite link (for example) to reach a federated server, and thus the federated content would be amplified back to local reachable instance?

I wonder if that’s why they’re giving away the stations for free on Australia now.

And if you get sick of seeing the same post multiple times on the page, give PieFed a go. It stacks the multiple comments under the one item instead.

Looks like preferred is invite only at this time.

“Invite code (see post on flagship instance)”

For me…

Because the PWA font is too small and can’t be enlarged.

Because there’s no ‘back to top’ button so have to kill the app to refresh.

Because there’s no app.

But sometimes I use it anyway because the combining of articles is so much better than seeing the same article three or four times in a row in Voyager.

She’s also blind.

The Black Knight always triumphs!

I thought it was more ‘up and down’ :)

Can people see what groups you subscribe to on Lemmy?

"Cute little pooch. Maybe I’ve got a milk bar… "

Or just the wrong hole at the wrong time.

Thanks. Handy to know.

Is it the best free option? It works fairly well although I can still kill it sometimes.

I know there’s a few other alternatives like OnlyOffice, wps office etc but these might be freemium.

I’m not going to travel to the US just in case they triangulate my ID. Haven’t said anything terribly bad about USA but still, why risk it.

Good point.

Mint wouldn’t run on my other Asus laptop which is why I ended up on Debian. I think it was a discrete GPU issue booting to a black screen.

I know most Linux users probably wouldn’t want Chrome anyway, but since it’s the most popular browser and this post is discussing the greater populace, I think it was a valid point - same as how a n00b booting to a black screen is an issue.

Having to fetch gnome tweaks to get a right click on a trackpad is another - that might just be a Debian thing.

Agreed. Just put Debian on a 17" i7 Asus laptop tonight as win11 didn’t like the track pad or the display adapter.

To get Chrome on, had to download a deb file, then manually open it with a right click and choose software installer since it wanted to open an archive instead.

Just little things like that are tedious for the n00b.

Run everything through a VPN tunnel instead?
