  • Can’t go wrong with a used T series from Ebay that’s a couple years old. A quick search shows that you can get something like this for 320USD from a reputable seller:

    Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U 2.10 GHz with Radeon Graphics 16GB 256GB

    8GB is too little RAM these days otherwise I would also recommend the X13 model but those start at like 600USD for the 16GB models.

    They can just phrase it a little differently and argue semantics in front of a bunch of 70 year olds who don’t know what a browser is in a hearing or two. Maybe a couple campaign contributions through completely legal channels and that’s that. Anti trust enforcement has been falling in the US for decades.

    I get the same as the main post. Either way the point still stands. I had someone correct me with a misconception about something because he googled it and thats what it said in the answer box. It’s getting increasingly difficult to rely on search results especially when google synthesizes them into questions and answers with little context








  • I don’t see why they would bother with the fediverse as it exists to be honest. To me it seems like a liability from their point of view. Not sure if they’ve spoken more about this but Facebook getting in more shit by having their users exposed to stuff that they don’t explicitly control doesn’t seem like something they’d want.

    That being said, I feel like defederating with them if needed is a solid idea but their sheer size may make that decision difficult for instances that are looking to grow given that they’ve already amassed twice the accounts of the Lemmy fediverse in a few hours. Now not all growth is good growth like you’ve mentioned but there’s no partial defederation so either you leech on some of their userbase or you don’t.

    I see some places going for growth if that’s an option which may not necessarily be a bad choice (unless they impose strict rules to follow if you want to federate with them) given that facebook has the capital to bury us with if they choose to so our compliance probably won’t have a very big impact on how things play out in the long run.
