I’ve just looked at my instance on both my app (Voyager) and my mobile browser (DDG)

The difference in presentation is stark.

Federation is where one instance “talks” to another and exchanges content. If your instance isn’t federated then you’d just be stuck with your own content and members with no outside interaction.

The “g” stands for generation. So it’s the 5th iteration of the technology versus the 2nd iteration. Whilst there are many improvements (speed, capacity, security etc) there are some negatives. (I believe mainly to do with signal penetration - i.e. getting a signal in basements, stone wall houses, being behind objects etc.)

Where I’m currently staying I have: 2G, edge, 4G and 5G signals available.

I second this.

Still use my 5MX a couple of times a year… one of the most amazing pieces of technology I’ve ever owned.

Coolio.

So you can understand up or down but struggle with left and right?

I was trying to be analogous to help you understand… either you don’t want to understand or you’re not willing to understand or… there’s something else going on here.

-7 and -9 are both numbers… but none of them are at zero or above. They are both negative, just by varying degrees.

Are you referring to yourself as “drag” or is that a typo?

Well, right is a term relative to centre which is relative to left.

Political literacy classes are available online… the idea of anybody thinking Lemmy is right wing (whether it’s code or the majority of its user base) is hilarious and a bit sad at the same time.

Yeah - I was just pointing out to the USians that it’s only changing in their country. The rest of the world will keep the original name.

Still showing “Gulf of Mexico” on Apple Maps for me as of three seconds ago. I’m not in the US.

Yup. Call it what it is.

I thought you were talking about me for a hot second…

Maybe in the US they don’t…

Could a sentence be any more British?

If you think .world is non-normie left-of-centre (or whatever phrase you want to use) then you gonna be confused and surprised by what you’ll find on some of the other instances…

Check out the mod log.

Just looked: regardless of your personal opinion the comment is a breach of the terms of posting. It essentially said Musk should permanently retire himself from life.

Reminds me of this dude:
