Lemmy should add something that differentiates porn from other nsfw types of content.

Same with nsfl stuff to be honest.

I feel like there's three types of nsfw content that people either want to see or want to hide all of: porn, gore, other (eg drugs).

Having one tag/flair to cover them all was always a mistake for social media.

How different from water does it have to be? Just not in the title?

Because both something like sparkling water and juice are basically water.

But I already pretty much only drink sparkling water so I'll pick that one if it's allowed (if the spirit of your question is "no flat water").

I feel like most people who get their news primarily through Facebook, are horribly misinformed.

So maybe this is a good thing?

Isn't it focused on negative news about musk? Which I enjoy, not gonna lie.

Being able to link/synchronize accounts a cross instances would be huge for continuing to use lemmy when your main instance is having trouble or goes down.

And I think if accounts were globally federated so that you could just log into any instance, it would take away the main complaint many people have when they claim lemmy is confusing.

Make sure you use it with Firefox. It works better.

Same. I'd have preferred a simple ad-free iap, but ultra is fine for now. I was so excited for this app that I want to support it.

Things like weather will be fine unless you have an unreasonable boss/job.

But people should only use work computers the way they would if they knew the entire company was watching a live stream of their desktop.

Even for working from home, I put my work laptop on the isolated guest wifi because I don't trust them the same way they don't trust me.

AWS is perfect for large operations that value stability and elasticity over anything else.

It's very easy to just spin up a thousand extra servers for momentary demand or some new exciting project. It's also easy to locate multiple instances all over the world for low latency with your users.

If you know you're going to need a couple servers for years and have the hardware knowhow, then it's cheaper to do it yourself for sure.

It's also possible to use aws more efficiently if you know all of their services. I ran a small utils website for my friends and I on it a while ago and it was essentially free since the static files were tiny and on s3 and the backend was lambda which gives you quite a few free calls before charging.

This is the only part of ultra that actually bothers me. I grabbed it primarily to support the development. And I'd be much more happy about it if 100% went to the creator. But app stores remove any apps that tell you how to pay a different way. So there could be a way and the app simply isn't allowed to tell us.

Somewhere else in this post, it's mentioned that an ad-free iap is coming later. Only option at the moment is ultra.
