I’m not your fwiend, buddy!

No, and I’m not a guy. 👍

Cheers!

Yeah this was I think a few months ago so they very well might have fixed that issue. Haha.

Lol, I like that last sentence.

Hehe.

Not necessarily.

I’ve had a couple instances where a game would run in Wine but not in Proton or even GE-Proton.

It was Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Lol. In Proton (or GE-Proton), the game would run but it wouldn’t save games, not even autosaves. But I played it using Wine and it worked totally fine.

My point is it’s very rare but it can happen.

Oh, of course, I was never denying that.

Sure, just as we have small independent email instances. But by and large the vast supermajority belong to a few large players.

I have no doubt the same will happen to the Fediverse.

Capitalism ruins everything in the end.

I’m lost.

Oh good gods I hope not. That kind of popularity is what killed Reddit.

Getting hugely popular --> Higher server costs --> Increased temptation towards profit-seeking

Sure, the whole of Lemmy wouldn’t privatize (at least at first), but what would likely happen is just as what has happened over the last 20 years with email: a few instances gets most of the traffic over the course of a decade or two, meaning small, independent instances won’t be able to compete.

Sure, their hosting ability (“users/dollar”, if you will) would plateau, but as more and more people join the big instances (think lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and so forth), the percentage of the Fediverse going to small, independent instances would increasingly get smaller, until we end up a corporatized federated Web to match our corporatized unitary Web.

there is around 193 countries in the world

All of which are out of my reach. Lol.

hosted in a territory that doesn’t require these “security” measures

And then what do we do once everyone does these measures? There will be nowhere to run.

I believe it was merely a typo.

Definitely just the hammer & sickle. It still very much applies.

Alternatively, though this is not strictly Communism but Socialism, I really like the common logo used for Democratic Socialism, the Fist and Rose!

I also really like the logo of the Democratic Socialists of America!

Except not all comrades are white-collar workers.

A very large number of us, believe it or not, are blue collar.

(I’m one of them.)

(No OP, but…)

Well, unfortunately, we’re at an impasse, then. :(

Ubuntu

Ew.

Oh they don’t? Huh… TIL.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll update my comment. 👍

How can we help you‽

You can press PrtSc to take a screenshot.

Edit: Apparently, rendering issues often don’t get included in a screenshot, which is definitely different than I expected. So, screenshots may or may not be viable for this context. If the latter, then apologies. 👍

I think it’s nonsense.

The “free market” is never truly free, and if there isn’t something holding the capitalist class back, they will always dominate the working class until the system just breaks. The only way for a stable society to exist is for checks and balances.
