Turns out, she's "never there" so, I'm assuming it's a second home. Like she goes to the area frequently enough that she doesn't want to deal with hotels. Makes this even dumber

Okay, not my point. The point is that part of the human condition is that the more urban you are the more liberal you will be.

Someone in a rural environment does not see the problems that someone in an urban environment does which means the two groups have different priorities, look at New York. You see the same trend of blue in the cities and great big swaths of red everywhere else. Same for Washington State, same for California, really just pick a state and you're going to see this trend.

It's in no way a uniquely Southern thing. It's just the fact that if your closest neighbor is 3 miles away and you know everyone in town, the scope of your problems are going to be pretty limited. That's because you don't know anyone who has the problems the city folk are complaining about, so the magnitude of the problems are lost on you.

By that logic Pennsylvania is Southern... And Washington State... And probably most of the country.

Y'all is not Texan. Y'all is Southern and Texas is Southern wannabe.

Define "way too much" please

You're like... The only one talking about taxis, everyone else is talking about worker protection

No problem, and it makes sense from a technical perspective if you care.

Lemmy instances are not operated by a single entity, which means their uptimes are going to differ, possibly dramatically. If the federation simply linked to the other instances, then if say Lemmy world went down, all the instances that federate with it would have a lot of broken content.

Instead, what happens is that the content is still interact able on the other instances, because there exists a copy. When Lemmy world comes back online, content gets synced and merged from the instances that were still available.

It allows for a natural redundancy, so what you can do, is create another instance all your own, curate only the things you care about, and have that data populated on your instance. Then the next time we're in an upgrade cycle you can still view previous content from Lemmy world and others instead of constantly just getting a 503 error.

It downloads to their instance, that's how the federation works. So it's effectively also hosted here.

No, it's you. Host your own instance and stop complaining. That's the point of the fediverse.

Or shit, just use the other instances that already exist.

Please get better.

Yeah, Kotor party switch is how it should work, just pull up a menu and select.

Why do I have to tell someone to leave and then walk over to someone else and tell them to join up, such a pain in the ass.

My company uses both zoom and Google meet, most meetings are thankfully using Google meet but the occasional ones that use zoom are a headache.

My company uses MacBooks and even then the zoom client has constant failures and it's hard to get the browser to work.

Basically, it's not just a Linux problem, it's the platform lol, but yes agreed it's a nightmare in Linux as well.
