I could - but I'm lazy. I bought a master/slave power bar that removes power to the screen when the PC is shut down.

But, are you old enough to want a turbo button and LED on your case?

I hate the window, too. Why build a case with aluminium, then add a huge glass window heavier than a full steel case?

And then Windows starts an automatic update at 3 am, fully illuminating the room...

I got a master/slave powe bar to disconnect the screenes from power when I shut down the PC.

Also, why are most chargers black? They live on a wall. Nobody has a black wall.

You can buy a white Samsung Galaxy, which comes with a white cable. But the charger, for this phone, is only available in black.

I have an old Samsung screen, which has a bright blue LED when it's working. So far, so good. If you turn off your PC, the same blue LED starts to blink. Looks like you get raided by the police. How can anybody think it is a good idea to have a blinking LED for a device that isn't used?

So would “communityA” on beehaw have different content to “CommunityA” on Lemmy.world due to the defederation/(block)

Even with federation, [email protected] would be a completely different community from [email protected]. (like email: [email protected] is a completely different account to [email protected])

What federation does for you is that you, on lemmy.world, can access them both with a single login. (email: you can write a mail to [email protected] from within your gmail webmail)

Who makes sure no one is standing in the beam to area. Does the transporter have safety protocols to just not transport if there is something of a certain size in the way?

It was more a comment to this. Doesn't matter if the target area contains another living being, a rock, or air. It must be detected and removed by the transporter.

Even if nobody is standing in the beam there is still at least air.

I'm more thinking about old threads. I used to search in subreddits because some information is still useful after years (guides for games, comments on movies/series, ...). The information, e.g. this thread, will only be in one instance. Even if there's a similar community in another instance, this thread will die with lenny.world.

The big, bad instance could just disable federation and all communities and user accounts would be locked on that instance.

There's a ton of other messengers and there's WhatsApp but as long as my family doesn't move from WhatsApp I'm stuck with it.

the exact same software works on other servers which could supplant lemmy.world should the need arise.

But all the communities on lemmy.world would be lost. I was hoping that communities could be forked and run on a different server if needs arise, like we can do with Git repositories.

If you host your own, do you need to establish federation with all other instances or only with the ones you want to use communities from?

If I only federate with lemmy.world, would I be able to see comments on /c/[email protected] on my instance made by a user from lemmy.ml?

Would a user that reads /c/[email protected] on lemmy.ml see my comments, if I only federate with lemmy.world?
