> Hi all, thanks so much for your input on this post in regards to de-federation. I have read through every comment and have taken all perspectives on board. I think I have come up with my stance on the matter for the moment. > > For now I wont be de-federating with any other instances or servers. I feel it is important as many people have mentioned to "leave the power to the users" and let them decide the content they wish to see. In regards to this I think it will be extremely important to educate people on how to block communities that they do not wish to see. If you all could assist me with that and help guide new users that would be much appreciated. I will be creating a post on this soon and will put a note in the sidebar about it. > > I also am aware and agree that certain content has no place in peoples feeds and that they want nothing to do with it. I myself am one of those people. Therefore there are a few things that I will still strongly be pushing for. > > Site admins are currently discussing what moderation tools that we think we need. And this is what I propose and hope to implement into VLemmy. > > A mod/admin tool that allows me to block certain communities/servers from appearing in all/new/hot feeds while they will still show for users that are subscribed. This stops the unwanted propagation of harmful/unwanted content while not restricting access to it and allowing users to interact if they wish. > > A user tool that will show the users what communities the admin/mod has hidden from showing up in the new/all/hot feeds and allow them to uncheck it for themselves if they wish. > > I feel like this is a reasonable compromise and I hope that this will help give a balanced experience for all. Critiques, criticism, refinements, suggestions, questions, all are welcome in the comments and are much appreciated.
A throwback to when I first got into orbit. It was a huge milestone back then. This is my first ever screenshot of the game.
Hello, fellow Kerbonauts. The Intercept Games office is buzzing with activity as we submit our last check-ins for the upcoming v0.1.3.0 update and QA puts all the changes through their paces. We’re currently aiming for a June 20 update, but as usual I’ll hedge a bit by pointing out that QA always...
I just noticed, i think thats the Taiwan flag beside Chinese Traditional. I dont think the CCP would be too pleased with it
Haha I already made it here. The other one doesn't seem active, so I'll leave mine up for now and see. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah I've been looking for that as well. I think I'll set it up on my instance and see how it goes
One of my favorite subreddits is r/engrish. Its basically all about funny english mistakes. I couldn't find it anywhere so i just created it here and posted some of my favourites. I would love if people are intrested is post you english mistaks you find and help build out the community. Im still very new to lemmy but have been loving it.
Did you read the small print below the Ice Cream? "Male shalt pay 150 yen in silence"

Yeah if Office is that necessary there is only so much you can do to isolate yourself from windows without getting overly technical. The VM is only connected to the internet if you have it on and the network connection enabled in your VM software's settings.
Well you would have the advantage of privacy/security as your host system in Linux so would send far less telemetry data if any at all. Also no more windows updates being shoved at you or restarting your computer in the middle of work. I'm sure you'd also learn a lot to. Its always good to have options.
There it probably a very hacky way of doing it through a compatibility layer like wine but I doubt it would be either easy or stable. Have you thought about using windows as a VM within Linux and using it that way? Otherwise unfortunately then it wouldn't be a fit for you.
Well I'm hosting on infrastructure that I already own, so I'm just paying for the connection and the upkeep/electricity costs. It comes out to about €20/month for 8 cores/16threads and 32gb ram.
Linux distributions in my experience have supported all hardware I've used with it. NVIDIA graphics cards sometimes don't play nice due to drivers but in general your laptop should be supported. In regards to which distribution generally Ubuntu would be a good choice, I've also heard that Zorin OS is pretty good when moving over from windows and should feel a bit more familiar. Linux Mint could also be a good pick. In general most of the major distributions will work out fine.
In regards to Office I think you might be out of luck. Would the web version be sufficient for you? I personally have moved from MS office to ONLYOFFICE full time. Its quite similar and might not have all the features but its sufficient for me. There are other options like LibreOffice as well.
As you say if you've installed many other systems before this should be quite easy. You just need to download your chosen distributions iso and create a bootable USB in a program such and Rufus or balenaEtcher and just follow the installation process once you boot in.
I'm happy for people to join my instance vlemmy.net, its got plenty of resources on dedicated hardware so I'm sure it could help out in case of an influx.
Do you think it would be important to have it enabled so that everyone who joins has a recovery factor? Mabye reduce the number of lost accounts?
I just recently set up my own instance vlemmy.net and am wondering whats the consensus on email verification? I myself am quite privacy conscious and would understand people not wanting to sign up with an email, but if no email is required would there be a spam risk, your insight would be much appreciated, thanks.
I also recently just created my instance vlemmy.net, I dont mind anyone joining and creating their community's there. Dont really have any restrictions either. Would be nice to learn some new things from our internet friends
Do you see many people staying on their own small instances? Im new to the platform, but seeing the overload to the lemmy.ml instance I decided to spin up my own instance, and dont see why I would change. Is there sth I'm missing?
