Overall, we rate New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) Right-Center Biased and questionable due to the promotion of propaganda, poor sourcing techniques, a lack of transparency and several failed fact checks. (M. Huitsing 3/18/2018) Updated (12/30/2024)

Sorry about that, it sounds very frustrating.
I've found that a field used to store account timezones was too short for yours. I've increased the size now so your next registration attempt will succeed.

Totally negligent on behalf of OpenAI to let this thing into their store. Let's see if they take it down now that the spotlight is on.
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I think it'd be worth getting the voting buttons working, those are pretty key functionality.
The icons being stored in a font is kinda problematic (some browsers choke, large font file) but on the other hand it's so great being able to set the color of them in CSS, which I found difficult when they are a SVG.
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 4 weeks ago:
In https://piefed.social/user/settings there are two different compact modes to choose from, which shrink the images to varying degrees.
I don't know of any way to determine how JS-heavy a link is.
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 4 weeks ago:
Voting, lol. Kinda important.
Dropdown menus. They're not really needed but life sucks without them.
Can't manually switch between dark and light mode (only automatically based on browser settings).
There's probably more but I haven't seriously tried to use PieFed for long without JS. Fundamentally it's built HTML and CSS first, with sprinkles of JS added on for funsies rather than the modern way of being all about JS.
- Comment on Is there a server that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers? 4 weeks ago:
Yes.
PieFed uses very minimal javascript (it 95% works with JS entirely disabled) and you can access all the same communities and posts.

As well as flair on posts, people can use flair on themselves in the comments, to indicate what their expertise or experience is, etc.

Check out Big Blue Button - https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/
Their website talks all about using it for teaching students but it's really just like Jitsi with more features.

I wonder if the surplus goods that would have been sent to USA will instead flood other markets and bring down prices there.
- Comment on What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server? 5 weeks ago:
The things I paid attention to was
USB3 - you need this otherwise connecting external drives will be a joke
Motherboard needs to accept up to 32 GB of RAM. Mine currently has only 8 but knowing I can upgrade is nice.
Quiet - must be silent when idle.
CPUs of less than 8th? gen will suck at video transcoding due to lacking certain capabilities. Important if running jellyfin, etc.The beauty of self hosting is it's all about your individual circumstances so you priorities and acceptable tradeoffs will differ.

- Comment on Post flair in PieFed 1 month ago:
Tags, aka hashtags, are instance-wide (not just in a community) and interoperate with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Mbin. Anyone can make a new hashtag and they are completely unmoderated.
Flairs are a limited list determined by each community's mods and are only used in that community. They will federate with other PieFed instances and with Lemmy (when they finish coding what they're calling "tags", a really unfortunate choice of name).
