Usually anything where the BIOS can find and boot Grub itself but Grub can’t finish the boot chain for whatever reason, like /boot being on a separate partition and your main partition gets corrupted or something

You have been banned from Pyongyang .ml

Every once in a while I think about lighting up at my job so I could be like John from Jurassic Park now that I’m in IT

Unfortunately a) id probably get fired and b) I HATE the smell of cigarettes LMAO

You’d think, but from what I understand the Invidious/YT cat and mouse game is rather intense so the larger public instances often don’t work and it’s better to use smaller private or personal instances instead

So most who care have opted to just set something up to handle YT links on the fly

Idk, I don’t keep track of it I just click the links lemming give me lmao

I do think the last one I tried was peertube.wtf a couple days ago

Videos without audio? Imgur can handle mp4s and imgur links autoplay in the Lemmy apps ive used (Boost and Voyager)

Videos with audio, well really YT is the best place, pretty much anybody who cares about YT tracking/ads/views will have processes/plugins in place to handle YT links. Like there are plugins that will automatically modify a YT link to a designated invidious instance or whatever

If you really really don’t want to upload to YT, a Peertube instance is your best bet, unfortunately just don’t expect it to be particularly…fast. Every Peertube video I’ve tried to watch buffered every 10-30 seconds, but I don’t blame them, video is very intense, expensive and difficult to handle compared to every other media type

We can actually talk about things without overwhelming censorship, strange algorithms, or ads.

think the biggest instance, lemmy.world, not being operated by the Lemmy devs is also a good health indicator

Doubly so considering how the main devs manage their instance according to their highly controversial political views LMAO

Steven Universe is such an excellent show, I can’t believe it came out of Cartoon Network LMAO

Have they done anything as good since?

It’s not a straight deal breaker for me, but it’s a pretty big barrier, I just can’t leave Boost lol 😔

Sounds like it’s coming along

Heh I’m finding out so much about how inadequate the blocking system on Lemmy is the past couple days. I’m not a conspiracy theorist type of person, but it’s so bad it almost feels… intentional lol

The W3C (The body that dictates web standards) specification, that describes what browser engines should handle, like CSS features, HTML5 etc and how is equivalent to thousands of pages long and there are huge standards to implement.

HTML5 is a big thing to implement, so is CSS and the JavaScript engine and probably even more technologies I’m forgetting

And that’s just implementation, it takes even more work to get them running well enough for the average end-user

Ladybird has been working on their from scratch engine for ~5 years iirc and they’re not planning to even have the first alpha out until next year lol

Sounds like they’re deep, probably too far to be reached by someone online, they need actual deprogramming and it’s almost impossible to do online. It’s why I’ve mostly given up on trying to seriously debate them and conservatives online and try to focus on “early intervention and containment” lmao

That being said I’ve made fantastic progress on some conservative family members IRL, if you know this person IRL, you have a shot.

YEA!

U-S-A! U-S-A!

Please send help

It’s all fun and games till the hot water heater runs out lolol

It’s a monumental effort really, building a browser engine from scratch and taking it to daily driver usable is probably among the most difficult programming challenges. It’s way easier to build a new Linux kernel from scratch than a browser engine lmao

Even Microshit tried and gave up because it was so hard

It wasn’t my intent to criticize Piefed either, just trying to not over sell it to new users, I’d rather not them be thinking it’s a perfect drop-in replacement, and then have a sour taste in their mouth when they run into an issue

Iirc it was mostly around notifications and federation delays

Lol I’m trying it out, davel un-instance-banned me after that meme went live and then banned me from each comm individually instead, so they could brigade my posts/comments

Soooo I decided to try out .cafe since they defed from the entire triad lolol

Yes and no, this topic comes up fairly frequently, and generally…nobody knows the best solution forward LMAO

piefed.social is a Lemmy “competitor” and is intended to be fully interoperable, but in practice it hasn’t matured yet and it’s interoperability with the Lemmy-verse is decent but has its quirks

But a big thing there is they have a multi sub type feature to combine comms like that

But some people also like the multiple comms, because they can have different viewpoints and culture.

Like lemmy.ml is a huge Tankie instance and their c/memes comms moderation skew towards censoring of comments and posts critical of Russia/China/NK and allows political memes

Where as c/meme on .world have banished most political memes directing them to !politicalmemes@lemmy.world instead
