  • It’s used to be a file that was executed by default when starting up older computers, up until Windows 98 I think (?). It was a simple file in which you could insert commands to personalize and/or optimize your system, back in the days.

    It was very powefull if you knew what you were doing, but could be very harmful if you had no idea. Like you could litteraly erase your hard drive by simply adding “del . /q” to the file if I remember correctly.










  • At first it was

    “You only need one account, it’s like an email, they all federate with each other”

    I was reeeaally excited for the prospect. (I still am btw)

    But now it’s more like

    “your account here can see that instance and that one too – but it’s buggy so sometimes it takes time to sync – anyway you cannot see that one for that one you need a distinct account-- oh and if that instance decide to defederate then you’ll need another account for there too”.

    I’m still into the Fediverse, it’s just we still have things to figure out.












  • For my part I’m trying not to generate traffic at all on the site. I feel quite powerless in this mess, and my clicks are all the little power I have. Maybe I’m paranoid but if Reddit leadership continues seeing traffic coming in on the site without people accessing the content and, more importantly, their ads, I fear they’ll start to “demod” the current mods and install moderators more aligned with their “policies”.
