It probably boils down to what costs the most, making a universal model for everywhere, or making a European model and a separate "screw you" model for the rest of the world.
Cool shot
That would be up to the admin of each individual instance owner how to handle that on their instance.
Combine that with the fact that most experienced admins can work a lot faster in a CLI compared to GUI, and the fact that a CLI allows you to replicate previous actions with no effort.
The post lagging seems to be front end only. So far I've had no issue simply refreshing the page when it hangs.
Random picture I took some days ago at the beginning of the expedition just because of the colors
On the PS5 I got a crash about 10 minutes into the expedition and got rather worried, but I've only had one single crash after that.
Good to know. I'm always and forever missing small stuff like this.
The upvote jumping is caused by issues with the websocket implementation. As far as I heard they are going to get rid of websockets completely in the next version and have static page rendering instead.
Same thing happened to me earlier today. It popped up about 10 times while I was writing a comment.
It's a lowercase l followed by a lowercase w as far as I can tell.
Getting rid of websockets would help a lot. But you still might not be able to have standalone nodes. You might still need a cluster of nodes with a master and slaves due to the federated nature of lemmy. Such that only one node at a time can handles federation events with other servers. I don't know enough about the protocol to know if that is the case or not. Just as an example I'm thinking of situations where one node gets a federation event for example for a post, then a different node gets a federation event with some sort of change to that post, and handles it faster than the first node. That event would then fail because the post hasn't been created yet.
I mean. I'm not talking about the actual cost of making the device but rather the total cost. Ie the cost to their bottom line.
The cheapest would probably be to make a single device with a replaceable battery, and weld the battery in place outside of Europe, but that would probably be so blatant that they would get in trouble.
