Please, tell me more

They tried to fix it, but gnome didn’t allow to customize the comment

Thank you for the in depth explanation

You have a lot of ram, linux will try to use most of it, it’s a normal thing. There’s a huge difference from using a large amount of ram when available to NEEDING that amount to run.Try installing both OSes on a machine with 4gb, and see the difference between them. One will be usable, while the other will have a poor performance. You can even push it harder with a 1gb machine. Linux will provide a system with basic functionality, while windows will be unusable.

Is there an actual way to stop it? I don’t think so. At least, moving to the fediverse would stop any particular corporation from having the monopoly of it, prevent reddit-like abuse of power, would give users more power, among a few other things.

Can someone eli5 why emule stopped being used, if people liked it so much?

The way I see it, soulseek is focused on sharing smaller files and niche stuff to a small community. For large files, or things with a large audience, other tools would be better suited.

I use soulseek quite often. It’s a good source of books and pdfs too.

You got me. I should stop taking things too literally

A lot of those kind of bots don’t even use ai. They just grab someone’s photo on the internet and go with it.

Maybe we need a technical questions and answers siteon the fediverse!

It’s a metaphor for us killing ourselves in the processes of deforestation, not a story of someone actually making a coffin.

you’re right, the matter is more complicated than I thought…

they can perhaps create instances, pay malicious users, try some embrace, extend, extinguish approach or something, but they can’t manipulate the code running on the instances we use, so they can’t have direct power over it. Or am I missing something? I’m new to the fediverse.

Can’t some instances make some sort of agreement and have a whitelist of instances to not block? People would need to register to add their instances to the list, and some common measures would be applied to restrict someone from registering several instances at once, and banning people who misuse the system.

That wouldn’t solve the problem, but perhaps would make things more manageable.

There’s one advantage on the fediverse. We don’t have the corporations like reddit manipulating our feeds, censoring what they dislike, and promoting shit. This alone makes using the fediverse worth for me.

When it comes to problems involving the users themselves, things aren’t that different, and we don’t have much to do.

Sometimes I feel like an alien because I care for insects and avoid killing them. It’s like no ones else in the world cares for them :(
