Can you tell me more about this? Is it true that government grants and subsidies were given out to specifically expand fiber to rural America?

You’re probably right.

I’m trying to look up a user on my instance from another insance with theirinstance.com/u/myuser@myinstance.com and it’s not working.

I’m not sure what could be causing this, it could be something simple like the previous issue I had earlier with the domain name. I’m going to go through my settings and try to figure this one out, but I’m still kind of new to all of this so it may take some time.

You can honestly use a smartphone pretty similarly to a dumbphone.

It’s your choice to use apps that aren’t email, text messaging, phone, or gps. Nobody is forcing you to use them.

Who’s going to pay for it?

Thanks yet again.

I tried claiming my instance, but now I’m getting the error: API Key PM failed

Slowly and steadily, this problem will be solved!

Linux piracy can honestly be a pain in the ass. I wouldn’t beat yourself up too much over it if it wasn’t working properly.

There’s someone called “johncena” then some numbers who supposedly uploads some kind of Linux-ready release of games.

I’m a Linux pirate so I’ve been going through the trials and tribulations to get games to work. For the best results, I typical need to install the game in a Windows VM then copy it over to my main OS. It’s a hassle and takes up a lot of storage in the process, but it’s nice when it works.

It sucks when it doesn’t work and can feel like a waste of time. That’s something I’ve just gotten used to with computers.

Thank you. I think I figured it out.

In my lemmy.hjson file, I accidentally put the internal IP address of my server instead of the domain name. This was a carry-over from testing on my main machine by using an IP address and port forwarding because I didn’t have a domain name to use.

I changed the hostname setting in lemmy.hjson to my domain name, and now it seems to be working. Sort of.

Now I have a different error, “Your instance is not guaranteed in Fediseer. Please check fediseer.com”, but this one seems less of a technical issue. I will have to learn what this is about and hopefully I can get it to work :)

Ok.

What about everyone else?

Censorship and surveillance need to die.

I have a lenovo, and while the software side seems to be good, the hardware side is not.

They clearly don’t give a shit about hinges and use the cheapest, thinnest plastic they can source.

It’s fucking stupid and should be illegal, but our representatives don’t represent us.

Thanks, this looks interesting.

I tried adding my instance under “Manage Instances” but got this error: Request timed out: GET https://{INTERNAL_IP}/nodeinfo/2.1

I’m not sure what this means. Could anyone help provide an explanation?

About a 7.

Been using Linux for years, have a fairly wide variety of knowledge to pull from, but I’m still not that great or anything.

It definitely feels like progress slows as we get better.

You really shouldn’t let the state of the world breed you out of the gene pool.

Also, consider how humans in the past lived. Most of them had way, way worse lives than what the average person experiences today.

It’s not even close. Take a look at what life was like before we eradicated Smallpox, for example.

Right now is unironically the safest, most prosperous time in human history to have children.

Not in the least.

You should look at people born in the past.

Yep. It’s part of the culture of consumption.

I immediately don’t take a recommendation for entertainment seriously if it’s something that was recently released.

Hey man, you don’t have to get defensive because someone pointed out a better, cheaper way of doing things. Just feels like you’re insecure because you can’t tolerate someone promoting how to get things for free.

We own what we torrent more than what we buy, because buying media usually involves some form of DRM.

With your “order everything mindset” why but just order groceries too instead of going there?

Weird thing to point out, but I never mentioned going there in person. I actually do order my groceries. This makes me further believe that you are insecure and grasping at straws because I dared to mention how I get better deals than you.

You can start using your brain before your wallet at any time! But doing so would mean accepting that you’ve been getting taken advantage of up to that point, which I doubt you’re prepared to do.
