Don’t discard imperfect allies.

If the development of Lemmy stops, all of this goes away and people end up back on Reddit or conventional social media.

I signed up for a medium donation.

While I don’t agree with some things happening on .ml We should not discard imperfect allies. Thank you devs for the great work you’re doing.

I hope more people realise this.

If it’s not Open Source, I don’t want it

Open Source

My mother tongue is Afrikaans, I thought our insults were intense. Until I moved to the Netherlands, damn chill.

Like apple seeds

What is Chat?

I don’t see the use case for a RaspberryPi 5 unless you plan on using the pins.

You can buy a more powerful Mini PC for 90€ from AliExpress

To get a Pi5 to the same specs It’ll cost you double if not more

Nextcloud replaces Photo’s, Drive and docs.

And more

Thank you, I’ll keep working to make it better

I just ordered a cheap mini PC from AliExpress for 82€

What would that cost in the US? Double? More?

Beautiful

That data comes from a survey of only 1250 people.

That’s a really small sample size considering there is likely 10 billion+ active email addresses.

I’m currently using 5 email address weekly (2 for work and 3 for personal use)

Two of those are gmail (trying to move away)

But you have a really good point, I’ll look for data on this

Do you have any source for that?

The sources I’ve found doesn’t show they have that big a market share

I used to split my drive in half to dual boot. But I’ve never booted back into windows since installing Linux Mint.

Should have just wiped the drive and installed Linux

You’re right, thanks for the input. I’ll make adjustments to take care of these flaws in the scoring system.

Thanks, this is very useful to know

Myself and my family will be using it to replace Microsoft/Google products

Excel, Google docs, word, pdf etc.

I would argue that is two different issues

“Are you free to easily move around and control your data” = High decentralization score

“do you have full control over your data?” = A different question

The scoring system is basically there to put a number on “How free are users and hosts of a platform to move around?” Or “How much power is in the hands of the people and not a few companies?”

For me Email scores very high in this regard.

As far as I know most Lemmy instances leverages paid-for or freemium services to have their instances work easily/properly
