How can the fediverse scale and grow to large communities like Reddit without large infrastructure and servers? How can a non-profit driven platform afford to keep the lights on if this takes off?
An older name for 'the fediverse' is 'the world wide web', and an older name for that is 'arpanet.' It's a pretty recent development that a few large companies control access to information.

Yeah but that would require actually downloading it, so nah.

What's the best pun name you've ever heard?
Drag queens have the best names. My favorite from this season of RuPaul's Drag Race is Amanda Tori Meating.

see I'm not sure I see that as a problem. There are lots of reasons to spawn a new but similar community (bad community mods, bad server admins). There are lots of subreddits I avoided because they were just too big to get into any real info or discussion, just the same beginner questions asked over and over again.

34% of Brits Say UK Economy Is Huge Concern: Household Budgets Leaner and Food Scarcity Rising

I think what you're looking for is Standard of Living. The economy may be doing well but the standard of living is stagnant or going down for many.

Why lemmy.world should not defederate from beehaw.org.
Honestly I think this is an interesting real-world experiment in the entire federation paradigm. It's going to happen again and again, there's no escaping it. How does the ecosystem work when two large instances can't communicate directly? We're going to find out.

IPv6 support for lemmy.world?
I'm sure it will before long. The server has already been moved to allow for growth, once things are more stable that will be fairly easy to add to a cloud hosted server like this.

Robot vacuums that don't send data to the company
I've got a Eufy RoboVac 30 and until reading this post it didn't even occur to me to see of there's an app. Turns out there is, but we've never used it and never connected it to our wifi. We just hit the button to turn it on and it works just fine. It came with a remote that we can use to set a schedule but as far as I know it has no way to call home.

High profile Turing papers banned from leaving UK
Seems like if the UK government doesn't want them sold to a foreign party then the UK government should purchase them and keep them safe.

Whats your go-to naming convention?

This is exactly what I do. It lends itself to something like 'prefix_specific-info_version' which is both sortable and easy to read.

This week in KDE: un-flashy important stability work
I've been using Kubuntu on my main laptop for a few years now, and I really enjoy having an environment that just works, doesn't get in my way, and I don't have to think about. That's just the way it should be.

How can I make a smart TV streaming device (Chromecast, Kodi, etc) use speakers connected to my Linux computer?
One option is to play the stream on your PC, and hook up the TV as another monitor using a HDMI or other video cable.

How can I increase my running speed?
If you're training for a distance race (5k or more) and not a sprint, then the best thing is to run a lot of kilometers. And the best way to do that without injury is to run slow. So it may sound strange but you learn to race fast by running slow, but running a lot.
