- Comment on Which instance should i choose when i share a link? 2 weeks ago:
The frontends and apps do redirect embedded links in comments no? E.g. if you click this it should automatically use your instance to find the comment (even though its a link to my instance): sopuli.xyz/comment/17606535
No that link opens in your instance for me like a vanilla hyperlink, I’ve used several instances all with Lemmy’s default web front end and that’s always been the behaviour in my experience, maybe some apps do it differently? If it did it automatically wouldn’t the software have to have hard-coded knowledge of every other instance to know whether to handle it as a Lemmy link or somewhere else on the web?
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 2 weeks ago:
Free as in freedom. But also free as in cost for most PC use cases. Red Hat and SUSE are mostly selling enterprise services.

That’s useful thanks for sharing.
It feels like there should be something like that built into Lemmy and I was a bit surprised there isn’t, just like how you can link to a community for example with !fediverse@lemmy.world

What’s “on read”?
- Comment on Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data 4 weeks ago:
It just means that the decision comes down to the instance owner not the software developer, which I think is right. Everyone should be able to decide what their computer does, that’s important to hold on to.
- Comment on Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data 4 weeks ago:
It wouldn’t be a free software licence by the FSF definition (rule zero). Of interest the FSF rejects the original JSON licence because it contains the clause “The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.” Since Mastodon uses AGPL, it wouldn’t be compatible.
- Comment on Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data 4 weeks ago:
That’s a really misleading headline; a Mastodon instance has done this, Mastodon as a whole can’t do this because it’s free software, it can be used for any purpose.
- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System 2 months ago:
No data I’m afraid but it just doesn’t ring true to me, unless there are vast regional differences. It sticks out to me as much as if you’d said that Bing is the largest search engine; I’ve barely heard of Apple email but almost everyone I know uses Gmail except me.
- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System 2 months ago:
Are you saying Apple is a larger email provider than Google? I’d find that very surprising.
- Comment on Do you have a favorite Game and Watch game? 3 months ago:
Bomb Sweeper. I’ve not actually played much Game & Watch since back in the day, so this is mostly from childhood memory and I have no idea how well it stands up but that was my favourite at the time. It’s a multi-screen but the top screen was mostly cosmetic, you had to navigate some kind of maze on the bottom screen. I’ve still got it, I should dig it out some time.
