TL;DR:

When you share a link on Mastodon, a link preview is generated for it, right?

With Mastodon being a federated platform (a part of the Fediverse), the request to generate a link preview is not generated by just one Mastodon instance. There are many instances connected to it who also initiate requests for the content almost immediately.

And, this “fediverse effect” increases the load on the website’s server in a big way.

Does Lemmy not cause this issue? Other federated software was not mentioned in the article at all.

They’re thinking of Regina George’s house

Thanks!

It lost 15 posts on 2024-02-12 (Stamets?).

What does this mean? You are assuming that a particular user deleted their account, taking all their posts with them?

I was hoping for more than just that, but any data you have on !chevron7@lemmy.world would be appreciated!

It’s all about getting the right shoe polish

What is arguably even more egregious is having X/Y backwards. On a graph, X is the horizontal axis, Y is the vertical axis. Xbox got it right.

Why would you assume that a game would not require Play Services? I have experienced that issue many times, including with Stardew Valley.

Not sure. I know the STUCA allegations were proven false.

You remember my wife, Megan Duffy, maiden name Duffy, hopefully no relation.

He was horny, so he dropped him. Man is evil!

I just wish the Flatpak had a more keyboard/controller friendly UI. Seeking around the current video using KB/controller is fine, but navigating the UI to pick what to watch pretty much requires a mouse.

EDIT: Just change the display mode! Settings > Display > Display mode > TV

I have never understood how people find these funny.

The replies are always “but it’s gotten better”

It’s funny how often I see this.

Comment from 2023: “Yeah, but FreeCAD has improved a lot over the past couple years, and it is finally a viable alternative now.”

Comment from 2021: “Yeah, but FreeCAD has improved a lot over the past couple years, and it is finally a viable alternative now.”

Comment from 2015: “Yeah, but FreeCAD has improved a lot over the past couple years, and it is finally a viable alternative now.”

Comment from 2004: “Yeah, but FreeCAD has improved a lot over the past couple years, and it is finally a viable alternative now.”

You can see that said about just about any FOSS software. And I am a total FOSS-head myself, more commenting on the community than the software.

If your music is playing in public, you have bad taste in music.
