Well, I guess people can use the term however they want. The "fediverse" term actually referred to OStatus originally but ActivityPub is seen as the successor to that. The idea is that "fediverse" is a social network, and not necessarily "Mastodon" or "Pleroma" which are just implementations. If there are gateways then they become part of that social network too.

I use Debian Testing almost everywhere. It's as comfortable for me as Ubuntu but I never have to upgrade.

I use Mastodon most regularly and Lemmy second. So far I haven't seen a lot of good content on PeerTube.

That's federated but not fediverse. But Matrix is cool.

Only thing I would say is to consider unexpected healthcare needs and a way to take care of yourself during your elder years. Otherwise it seems like a good way to live.

My understanding is that the credit union will give a loan with barely enough interest to cover operational cost.

Do utopian socialists and other non-Marxists have no claim whatsoever to the term "socialism"? I don't care about Vaush specifically, but I wonder if my belief in an abstract moral position that profit, rent, and usury are wrong disqualifies me as a socialist.

Anyway, this is one reason I avoid actively applying labels to myself. I'd rather talk about only what is true or not true, instead of what words mean.

I misunderstood your question then. No, I don't feel significantly more safe because of the 2nd amendment, but also not significantly less safe. It has little impact on me either way.

Never mind, that only works in the web UI but not Lemmur. But seems like something Lemmur should be able to do.

In the search, you must say "!community@lemmy.ml". It may take a few seconds but the community will be searchable next time you search and be federated.

I encourage you to start an instance.

Yes, I mean making it a first class citizen of standard JS. That would be a step towards all JS libraries coming with type annotations without having to convert everything to TypeScript.

I think most are fair points, except I disagree that static types are not helpful. Static typing is preferable over dynamic typing but is difficult to do well. PHP and Python have type annotations now, and I think it would be good if JS introduced them as well. That would be a better solution than TypeScript.

Minetest, The Mana World, and Xonotic.

My main point is that there is not a one-size-fits-all solution that should be applied to the whole country. Let each community govern its own norms of what weapons are allowed. Military grade weapons may not be required in a rural area but that does not mean we need a state bureaucracy to restrict them.

I generally feel safe. Homicide is very far down the list of causes of death. I am taking a much larger risk every time I choose to enter a car and drive on the highway, that somebody isn't going to randomly decide to swerve into me.

I am in the USA and don't support gun control at a federal level. I understand why you would want to stop people from open carrying rifles in Manhattan but the same rules are not appropriate for people living in rural areas. It's a difference of community control vs. state control -- communities may choose not to have guns on the street but that's not for the state to decide.

Yes, the community is only a few days old.

You're not the one owning the house or renting it out, right? You're not obligated to do anything.

Correct. I was only speaking from a technical perspective in the purpose of the language being similar, but PHP is certainly easier for any shared hosting.
