Uuh. Yeah I believe you. I can't really empathize with that because on friday I booted the Windows on my laptop and it took like one and a half hours with the fan on maximum and two restarts until it had done the updates of the last three months since I've last used it. And then the Steam main window started flickering like crazy and I had to reboot it once or twice more, fix the boot order since it also messed with that and the graphics issues luckily went away on their own. I like to do development and dabble in electronics projects and that's also so clumsy on windows. You need like 20 different tools to get a task done and windows doesn't come with a single one of them. No git, no proper editor, nothing to mess with firmware files or flash them onto the microcontroller Not even the driver for some really standard USB/Serial chips. You can't read some of the filesystems, it can only extract one or two types of archives and always something gets in your way and messes up your workflow... And speaking of workflows... I really like the unix philosophy, it's soo convenient to use computers with a proper cli. In windows there is no equivalent to that, you're supposed to use a plethora of UI tools, or nowadays use the WSL and just install Linux. And that's just one aspect of what I do on my laptop. Guess it's different for everyone of us. I mean I don't judge. It's just, I've tried both and I just can't imagine how I'd enjoy using Windows. But everyone should make that decision for themselves. (Sorry for rambling on and on. I was really a bit pissed before the weekend. And turns out I still am. The "things have fewer issues on windows" somehow never works out for me.)

That would explain it. I mean if your provider provides you with a proper certificate, you can also use that. But often times it's just a temporary self-signed placeholder that's only good for development and not valid.

Ja, wobei sowas hier schon viel diverser ist. Drüben auf den Normalo-Plattformen wird ja alles diktiert vom Kommerz, den Webekunden, welche Geschäftsmodelle die Bezahl-Dienstleister tragen und das Unternehmen gut darstehen lassen oder die Anleger glücklich machen. Ich glaube ob es ethisch ist jemand einem eine Plattform anzubieten ist dort nicht von Belang. Das ist im freien Netz nicht zwingend so. Viele Leute mögen einfach keine Nazis und Schwurbler und setzen die einfach vor die Tür. Bei Peertube hab ich das mit den Schwurblern gesehen, und hier sind auch die meisten Verbindungen zu den ausgewachsenen Faschos gekappt worden. (Und die Vielfalt im Netz war einmal. Heute geht das meiste über wenige Ökosysteme von einer Hand voll Großkonzernen.)

Mmh, everyone is allowed to make stupid choices. I've told multiple people that drawers in the kitchen and in your wardrobe are awesome. That you don't need the Adobe suite to cut your 1.5 travel videos a year, let alone a $1200 phone... Stop using software when we have way better alternatives that are also easier to use. Many people don't listen. And they're entitled not to listen to me, it's their money, life and choices.

Afaik the current instance blocking just hides communities from showing up in the All feed, not users.

But nutomic seems to be right. There currently doesn't seem to be a feature request open for that. The issues I found contain several duplicates, mix different things and sometimes users erroneously file something in lemmy-ui or the backend and it gets closed. I'm going to have a closer look and maybe file a feature request. Thx.

I'd like that. I think some other platforms/projects have features like this. And on Lemmy some instances duplicate everything. For example beehaw.

lol. i watched way too much star trek when i was a kid. i would consider myself as someone who dislikes capitalism. but that's my private thing. i like having money available to buy food, eat nice noodles or go on vacation every now and then. but i wouldn't be sad if that somehow worked without the concept of money or some of the big companies.

i like this platform. i'm fine, thanks for asking.

I have little experience with windows (web)servers and more with linux.

I have no idea why someone would want to set-up or manage a windows server. It's just pain if you previously did it with linux. Everything sucks. Where to find log messages, how to upgrade a php version and get that used by the webserver, backup, maintenance, how to write short and useful scripts for maintenance, the mixture of config files and lack thereof, and it needs double the resources.

I wouldn't do it in my spare time. I'd rather work on a way to get that OS in that VPS replaced... (My personal oppinion.)

I think people will vent and quite a decent percentage will return to reddit eventually. Like it happened with twitter since Elon did his thing. But lemmy will stay. It has been here before all the people migrated from reddit and the fediverse in general will keep having a right to exist. And it will.

I'm afraid it doesn't work this way. Developers generally don't have a shortage of ideas or problems to solve. People suggest ideas all the times. Usually they have no idea if it's super difficult to implement or already a solved problem. And if people do the programming in their spare time: They need to be involved or personally motivated somehow. So you need to find people who also want it.

My advice is: Find out where those people mingle, who would have some personal motivation or involvement with your topic of interest. That is the right place to ask. My personal oppinion: Feel free to also spam the internet and places like this with your idea. I'm a proponent of "Don't ask to ask, just ask". People can always not read your post or can guide you into some direction. It's probably okay if you do it a few times too many. Just don't ask in a hundred places at once and then don't read the replies. If you're better than that, you're fine.
