Fair enough. I was speaking towards the perspective of op. We were encouraged, not required, so there were definitely some folks who would do that.

That sounds like poor IT policies to me. In previous office jobs I’ve had, our computers were configured with our working hours and we wouldn’t shut them down at the end of the day, so that any updates could happen off the clock and minimize that sort of disruption.

There’s also WSL though your mileage may vary.

Your reading comprehension needs work. Have a nice day.

I’m not arguing that? I’m acknowledging that learning any new software takes some level of effort. Nice straw man though!

Is not looking bad more valuable than the effort involved in one or both of you learning iOS?

Compared to more traditional messaging protocols it could seem that way depending on various factors like time zone differences and how often devices can be online.

It seems like in general, 1:1 conversations will require both participants to be online simultaneously to communicate. Group conversations can have any online participant act as a relay for new messages to offline participants, more or less.

Check out their documentation, particularly the article on how the distributed network works. Also the FAQ is massive! I wish I had the time to read about this in more detail right now

You are on a different instance than the community. Because it’s a new community it probably just hasn’t federated to your instance yet.

Edit: also if you’re the FIRST person to access the community on your instance, that should be establishing federation in the first place

I thought I was old, but I’ve only even heard of the 3dfx 😳

this is so obviously a troll account that it’s painful to see no one else questioning it

The contempt and elitism coming off this post is so thick it could be cut with a knife. I sincerely hope this is just you in a bad mood and not routinely how you respond to people asking innocent questions.

As an outsider to that exchange, you DID reply quite nicely, at least until abruptly being quite rude in your very last sentence. :/

I have already seen this horrible headline posted (and deleted) from THIS community earlier today.

As of now most of the top comments here are also in agreement with that take.

No, I think min() returns the lower of two arguments. If you had 4 cores, min(4, 8) == 4, and if you had 20 cores, min(20, 8) == 8

Context:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cf.

The abbreviation cf. (short for either Latin confer or conferatur, both meaning ‘compare’)[1] is used in writing to refer the reader to other material to make a comparison with the topic being discussed. Style guides recommend that “cf.” be used only to suggest a comparison, and the words “see” or “vide” be used generally to point to a source of information.[2][3]

Sorry that I don’t have an answer to your direct question, but

It doesn’t necessarily need to be at a large scale, because of federation. The technical knowledge needed to admin an instance is a barrier to entry now, but probably can be improved. We could eventually see an ecosystem where your WoW guild (or your college buds, or your found family, or your fantasy football league, or equivalent smaller community) hosts an instance for its members. You can still participate in federated discussions, and the subscriptions of the instance could stay comparatively filtered to what’s most important to the users of the instance.

You’ll always have bigger generalist instances, but the flexibility you can have with really small and topical ones shouldn’t be forgotten about imo, especially as the platforms/technologies mature.

The interoperability of Fediverse platforms is so cool!!! Don’t even have to leave the site you’re on to contact someone in a completely different style of site. I love to see it.

I would ask whether you realize you’re on a linux community, but you referred to a man page as a wiki article so you are clearly lost.

The first paragraph past the link is a summary of the function of the program.

fstrim is used on a mounted filesystem to discard (or “trim”) blocks which are not in use by the filesystem. This is useful for solid-state drives (SSDs) and thinly-provisioned storage.

I used to be fine with Nitro because I didn’t mind supporting a service I liked being free for everybody else. These last few months I have been seeing big red flags of enshittification with the introduction of a layer of cosmetic microtransactions you can only microtransact if you’re a Nitro subscriber

It’s probably time to start planning my exit, but I haven’t dug into the details of what next steps are gonna look like for me.
