Intelligent people who don't want imaginary friends working in government? Which translates to better service for everyone since the mentally ill will hopefully be discouraged from seeking a job position that is in charge of the public? Go work in a church if you want to pull that shit.

Federated systems all have a single point it failure, the server. If a server instance disappears a significant portion of your data does as well, especially if it wasn't federated. User accounts are a good example of this in Lemmy.

Just because a system is federated does not mean it's decentralized, whereas a decentralized system has no risk of loss of data if a single system goes down. Federation is not that.

Fucking barbarians that don't mind having shit smeared all over their ass cheeks apparently. I mean, seriously, who the fuck thinks standing up to wipe is the proper "technique?"

That doesn't really seem to answer the question though... why be on Lemmy.world? What does "the most active instance" even mean in the context of federation?

I'm really confused by your response and I get the feeling maybe you don't understand federation?

It doesn't matter what instance you view, post, or otherwise interact with the content from. The only thing that matters is who's federated with whom. In the case of Lemmy.world, they defederate people. From your response, it seems like you'd be better served finding a server that does not defederate or that defederates more to your tastes.

There is literally no reason to be on lemmy.world in the fediverse.

This means you have soft water. Hard water washes away the soap immediately

That's why I finally gave up after nearly 3 decades of running my own email server. It's just stamping out fire after fire and my time became way more valuable as I got older.

God damnit, Bob, how many times have I said no white after Labor Day?

Sure, you are correct, but nobody bats an eye if you present an id card instead of a driver's license. Hell most people probably don't even notice the difference. OP was implying that not having a driver's license is somehow more difficult than having one and that's completely false for the US

Lol no it's not. I've never even had someone ask me what kind of phone I have.

Because you are at a disadvantage against those that do? I guess it depends on how definition of "required" and I feel like the context dictates the definition of "required" to be "required to be competitive."

Job listings often list unrealistic or impossible qualifications (such as 10 years experience in a programming language that's only existed for 6 years, most famously), overblown or unrealistically wide scope (must be expert in Linux, Windows, Cobol, C++, Atari, and to do the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs), etc...

So to actually get a job you may be perfectly qualified for, it's requires lying. The trick is knowing what's bullshit on the job listing and what's important, and if you are qualified for a particular position, you should know what parts are bullshit. Lying in that instance seems fine to me.

I have about 140TB of stuff and ever growing. I have a second server that I back everything up to off site, so if you count the duplicate data, it's 280 TB.
