How much are the gas fees these days?

God, I can’t stand this finance-bro vocabulary infiltrating people’s normal speech.

Christine Lemmer-Webber made an excellent blog post ~6 months ago titled How Decentralized is Bluesky really?

Give that a read.

It’s the kind of tent that’s a semi-permanent structure and you rent it like a cabin.

remember Jabber?

“The proof is in the pudding” as they say.

What are the pros/cons of piefed for someone who has only used lemmy?

Okay, am I understanding this correctly? In Y-up right-hand, positive X is “to the left”?

No, the x-axis is usually the only consistent one (it increases from left to right). With right handed coordinate systems you can have Z going into the screen (Y-down) or Z coming out of the screen (Y-up)

Their HA infrastructure is all built on open source projects. The thing they have that we don’t is teams of SREs on-call 24/7.

Can you link the bug report please?

Although there were already discussions about it as early as 2005 (and earlier), Loic and company had been hosting a Web3 conference in France (“Le Web3”) for a few years back then. (The real Web3, not the crypto-Web3. < this is why many, if not most, Fediverse devs don’t like crypto, the crypto enthusiasts stole “Web3”)

I think you’ve retconned a little bit here. LeWeb3 was named as a sequel to the previous conference which was called LeBlogs2. Remember, at that time Web 2.0 hadn’t really taken off yet - browsers had only just implemented the XMLHTTPRequest API - so it wouldn’t have made sense to already be talking about Web 3.0.

Here is an original document containing some history of LeWeb3: https://web.archive.org/web/20070704054929/http://www.loiclemeur.com/LeWeb3executivesummaryv1.pdf

If you go to your Settings page, there’s a Blocks tab which has a text-entry field where you can type in a community name to block it.

I frequently access Lemmy through quite old hardware, and I’d be a bit worried that these PoW scripts would make the site unusably slow for me.

Who is “we”?

Please tell me you’re not vibe coding this project.

There was a time when nurses and doctors said “flid” and “spastic” too.

Using a “cute” abbreviation of a technical term is, at the very least, condescending and at worst, a term that very quickly becomes used to bully people with specific outward appearances caused by medical conditions.

I hate this abbreviation of “premature baby” to “preemy.” To me it’s a slur, just like “flid,” “spastic,” or “mong.” Stop using it.

Substack is Geocities for the Tumblr generation.

Newsletters? Google killed RSS so we could have newsletters?

No, I said, “I like the slacks you’re wearing.” They would go nicely with a red hat.
