It’s to get around a bug on some platforms where the Referer header isn’t set properly. Basically when you click the link in the app (maybe other platforms too idk), it can’t set the Referer, so website statistics can’t know what came from bsky. This was in their changelog. It used to already work correctly on desktop, though.

Fair enough! The disadvantage is that, as opposed to Dropbox and similar, I have go into a file at the root of the synced folder, rather than keeping that config near to where itcs relevant.

Thanks for the names!

That’s… a very good idea. I should do that anyway.

Forgejo for projects and syncthing for data is probably perfect, thank you!

I tried with both, but I didn’t figure out how if such an option exists. I did manage to do the opposite (keeping files uploaded but not having them locally), both with and without VFS (with VFS it’s in a context menu in nautilus, without it’s in the desktop app).

it does! I use it to sync my music, but I feel like it’s not the right tool for the job here.

I don’t want to “have the folders connected”, I want to have the ability to sync files easily, while excluding specific folders and files.

I have. It hasn’t worked very well for me, the docs weren’t great (though I’m looking at them now and they do seem better?) and it broke in strange ways.

So… databases? Especially in data centers? Still a nice boost in that case

The URL slug says “meth consumption”. Neat typo!

You missed the point of the comment you’re replying to. To a lot of people, garden-variety binary trans people are “absurd and contradictory to reality”. To even more people, nonbinary people are.

Blahaj lemmy’s admins have decided that they will not draw a line, because they don’t want to be the arbiters of what is valid. That does mean some extreme cases don’t get decided the way you would, and that’s fine! Just block those cases.

Whatever identity they have, I don’t care. The internet’s big enough for everyone. It’s not my problem, not my life, live and let live.

Is it for sure Microsoft?

Do advertisers maybe require a bit of JS to be run to validate a click? I can’t imagine they’re happy to lose money to completely invalid clicks…
