I guess I didn’t notice when I opted in, and couldn’t find a way to opt out when I realized it was broken

If I want to have security, I would use a different communication protocol. I find it unacceptable for an SMS app to change quietly change to a different protocol, particularly if it causes messages to fail to send.
I found Google messages to be unreliable: refusing to send a SMS if the Internet connection is bad. The signal that the message failed to send is a single hollow checkmark.
I switched to fossify messages, which just sends SMSs or MMSs and doesn’t create its own flawed messaging protocol
How would virtual environment software, like conda, work without $PATH?
The goal of the zig language is to allow people to write optimal software in a simple and explicit language.
It’s advantage over c is that they improved some features to make things easier to read and write. For example, arrays have a length and don’t decay to pointers, defer, no preprocessor macros, no makefile, first class testing support, first class error handling, type inference, large standard library. I have found zig far easier to learn than c, (dispite the fact that zig is still evolving and there are less learning resources than c)
It’s advantage over rust is that it’s simpler. Ive never played around with rust, but people have said that the language is more complex than zig. Here’s an article the zig people wrote about this: https://ziglang.org/learn/why_zig_rust_d_cpp/
The obscurity of the Fediverse is not its defense from enshittification. The fact that it’s so easy to move from server to server is.
If lemmy.world enshittifies, you can just move to lemmy.sdf.org without a big loss.
I think that lemmy could use more people.
Linux is often used to refer to a family of operating systems including Ubuntu, Debian, fedora, red hat, ect., which all use the Linux kernel.
However, GNU/Linux may be a better name for this family of operating systems, since they all use GNU components and (to varying extents) embrace the philosophy of the free software foundation.
Android uses the Linux kernel, but not GNU components, and do not embrace the philosophy of the Free software foundation.
Stalman, the man who founded GNU and the free software foundation published his thoughts on this:

Lemmy.ml is also the instance made by the lemmy devs
Did you try my suggestion in this comment?

I think your problem is that you aren’t pointing PowerShell at the right folder. You can use the cd
command to get to the right folder containing the python script and config file.
It’s not too bad, it seems more difficult because I added all the steps. Changing the folder PowerShell is looking at is easy to do, but hard to explain.
Here’s a thread where I helped someone else with the process on windows: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/1420339
The steps are:
config.ini
. Use notepad to edit the file to have your server URL and login credentials.py -m pip install --user requests
cd
in powershell. This path will very likely be something like C:\\Users\Wu9fee\Downloads\lemmy_migrate-1.1.0
. If you don’t want to copy and paste the path from explorer, you can just do cd Downloads
then cd lemmy_migrate-1.1.0
py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini
Let me know if you run into any problems.
If you can pull this off, you can officially say you know how to code.
I bet replacing python3 with py will work:
py -m pip install --user requests
py lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini
What problem are you having? Ive been using the 2nd gen for years, and didn’t notice any problems, except more xruns than I think ought to happen. But it’s hard to know what to blame for xruns.
First, edit the .ini file with your lemmy servers, usernames and passwords.
Then make sure you have python interpreter with requests installed. You can check this with python3 -m pip show requests
. if it says something like package not found, you should look into how to install python requests on your operatation system. If you downloaded it from python.org, python3 -m pip install --user requests
should work.
Then you can do python3 lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini
. Let me know if you run into any problems!
It would be possible to have a fully decentralized Lemmy. For example, just have everyone self host an instance and perhaps change how caching works. But there’s a downside of being harder for users to use and more duplation of moderation.
Federation is a balance between the decentralization and centralization
I’ve used this tool to migrate subscriptions.
Is temporary posts the feature you’re looking for?
One weakness of open platforms like activitypub is that it’s hard to ensure that your post is deleted. A bad actor can make a permanent copy of data they receive through activitypub.
Short haul flights should probably be high speed train rides anyway
