The meaninglessness is still there. What I suspect is the biggest difference is the headspace surrounding it. If there’s not inherent meaning to life, then that frees you to create your own with your own goals and desires and whatnot. If there’s no inherent meaning, then any meaning we as humans come up with for ourselves is the meaning. For some people, that’s religion. For some, it’s taking care of their loved ones. For a few of my friends, it’s to play as many video games as possible. For others, it’s to work as much as possible. The beauty of it is that they’re all right, the meaning of their life is what they make of it. You are what you repeatedly do.

I’m assuming Google takeout will allow you to export them since Google now backs them up for you, but I haven’t tried.

Sure, but the server calculates the hot/active every 15 minutes regardless of whether or not you browse it. It’s calculated on a timed job so it’s always fresh and ready for everyone.

Isn’t a semi-significant amount of the per instance load in the database interactions though? I don’t know if that’s still true after some of the optimizations in 0.18, but by having your own instance, even 1 person instance, you no longer load the database of another instance with calculating hot/active/whatever for things you want to see, and you don’t load it when you do pulls.

I mean, it’ll probably be obvious, however they end up doing it. Just look for all the trackers and cookies 😂

This was absolutely amazing. I was having some trouble with the build process using the docker compose from Lemmy itself, but this just instantly worked. Thank you!

Not to mention facebook the company (now meta) has been struggling too, losing ~75% of its market cap in the last few years… finally.
