It supported torrent for ages, but it has only one tracker that doesn't really have very much content. Now qBitTorrent or something else supports it out of the box.

I2P is very slow, slower than Tor. Maybe after more people join, it will be faster. Last time I tried it was painfully slow to even load most eepsites.

If there's no such thing as authentication when you view posts, you have no privacy anyway. Everything you post online can be seen by anyone and archived anytime. It's not like you have privacy when you post now.

Only real threats of Threads federation are EEE and server overload. Not the people from there or privacy. If someone wants to see some content you don't want to see, like some opinion you don't like, they should be able to see it. I don't understand why there would be such list, it would be pure censorship and waste of time. I have heard Threads has a pretty good moderation, so that solves this problem anyway.

I don't get what would defederating with Facebook-federated instances gives you, though.

On lineageos also just pegasus. Only thing that makes it better than stock android is that you have more chances for security patches. Dumno about graphene, it has some additional protections, but still susceptible to some vulnerabilities of android.

Pulling out the plug would certainly work, and not just for vim.

Enough people are used to the proprietary apps, so it doesn't matter for them. 0,01% of users flowing to other protocols for just part of their conversations isn't going to hurt them.

Fediverse is a network where servers send user posts to each other, in the effect every server should have the same or similar content. It's not one app, it's a protocol and you can make implementation yourself.

AFAIK Lemmy and Mastodon are connected with each other, but using them to read other one content is kind of buggy/hard. Kbin is easiest to operate if you want to see content of both.

The machines should tip the customer for doing job well. After all, it's him doing the work cashier typically does.

Kbin (and Lemmy) needs something to combine several magazines into one. Currently, there are many magazines spread over several instances. There's no way to just view or subscribe to them at once. You need to check them separately. If there were multi-magazines, new user could just search for someone's multi- and don't get confused by the ten other communities that often are empty.

Is there a chance that it will be ever implemented? It's one of kbin biggest blocks from getting popular.

Internal investigation? They didn't know they set up 19 mln of not accounts? Or maybe someone did it for them?

I requested account deletion and it's on queue now. How do I cancel if, when it's still not processed? I didn't get any email about that, so I think it's not about mail confirmation.

Why isn't the deletion automatical process? Like on other websites, where you just click "Delete account" and it's done? From what I understand, on kbin it's manually reviewed.

Prigozhin defended his so-called "march for justice" by insisting he had no intention of overthrowing Vladimir Putin's government - it was just a demonstration.

What does it give you even do except for cool image below the post? I never got why people bought those coins. Does it even give karma for the author?

How do those projects write open-source drivers for proprietary hardware legally? I know that there's "clean-room" reverse engineering, but is it really a requirement? From what I understand, you can write docs about how the hardware works and then the other team can write a software based on that documentation.

What if the new software is just implementing the necessities for compatibility and other than that is a different product? Is it still illegal for just one team to do that?

It would be cool if it had sensors like oximeter and GPS. But for $27, it's not bad. How's the battery and step counting on it?
