I subconsciously tried wiping my screen.
From what I can see, Macrodroid does not appear to be opensource, but thank you for the suggestion.
It’s closed source, and it costs money.
Flatpak – It’s not without it’s own issues, of course, but it does the job. I’m not fan of how snaps are designed, and I don’t think canonical is trustworthy enough to run a packaging format. Appimages are really just not good for widespread adoption. They do what they are designed to do well, but I don’t think it’s wide to use them as a main package format.
I’ve heard that ReFS is supposedly replacing NTFS, on Windows.
Y’all don’t update your services?
That’s a fine recommendation! Thank you!
Of course, few things in life are truly free – presumably, such a service would be run by donations, and the community.
While I do agree that these features are very useful, and interesting, they are unfortunately not the type of service that I am looking for. I encourage you to check out AllTrails, so that you can see an example of what I mean.
I’d be concerned if All Trails started taking all that data and charging for access.
I share the very same concern.
Ah, my apologies, I wasn’t specific enough in my intent for the post. I am looking for something akin to AllTrails – you search for a trail, and the site provides you with all of the relevent information: descriptions, pictures, waypoints, information about trail dangers, maps (that’s where OpenStreetMap would come in), time to complete the trail, distance, elevation gain, hiking season, etc.
EDIT: I have now updated the post so that it is more accurate in its intent.
How come Lemmy randomly shows these super old posts, every now and then?
Why ban natural grass? Would putting people on a water meter not accomplish the same thing? Being on a water meter would, theoretically, reduce waste, but at the same time allows one to maintain some of their liberty.
I worry that these sorts of things would end up turning the site into a popularity contest (or, well, more of a popularity contest than these sorts of sites already are. That being said, I’m quite proud of Lemmy, currently, as it appears to be resisting that). Also I’m not entirely sure how things like payed comment awards would work with everything being federated.
ie oldest postes && least liked First
This would pretty much automatically throw out all troubleshooting posts. These sorts of posts, very often, don’t receive many likes, as that is not their purpose. On top of that, there has been many a time that I have been saved by finding some ancient forum post that solved my problem.
It would put the more popular instances under enormous stress, if they had to serve every single subscriber from any other instance.
From what I understand, media (images, videos, etc.) is not cached. Does that not mean that, in the worst case where every post contained an image, the instance would be serving every subscriber, anyways?
I don’t really understand this reasoning. Some server would still need to receive those requests at some point. Would it not be better if those requests were distributed, rather than pounded onto one server? If you have a server caching all the content for its users, then all of its users are sending all of those requests for content to that one single server. If users fetched content from their source servers, then the load would be distributed. The only real difference that I can think of is that the speed of post retreival. Even then, though, that could be flawed, as perhaps the source server is faster than one’s host server.
What I like about the Gadsden flag, as opposed to this one – according to how I interpret it, anyways – is that it advocates for the use of one’s voice before violence. The main symbol on the Gadsden flag is a timber rattlesnake. If you think about such a rattlesnake in nature, when you get too close to them, or provide them with a reason to feel wary, or uncomfortable they won’t immediately attack you, but will instead provide you with an auditory, nonviolent warning. It’s only when one ignores their warnings, and continues to harass the snake, or give them a reason to think that they are under immediate threat of harm that they will fight back, and will not hesitate to do so. In all other circumstances, the rattlesnake will mind it’s own business, and let you do the very same. I find this behaviour admirable of a creature, and it is, in my opinion, the true ethos of libertarianism. The Canada goose, on the other hand, won’t hesitate to harass you. they will routinely attack people just relaxing in a park. They provide little warning to someone that they find threatening, and will often choose to immediately strike out. This is not behaviour that should be emulated, or admired, in my opinion.
