Carrier grade NAT. For instance, on our local mobile phone network, thousands of handsets will have the same public IP address.

You can get soft silicone ear pickers with a built in camera now so you can see what you're scooping.
One of the hardest parts of taking up a new sport, cycling or otherwise, is staying motivated enough to keep going. I definitely didn’t cycle consistently when I started, and had to keep coming back to it again and again before I properly fell in love with the sport.
Part the problem is that it's seen just as a "sport" or "leisure activity". Build cycling into your daily routine, going to the shops, going to work etc. giving cycling a purpose, then at least in my case I'm a lot more motivated to do it even if the weather's a bit crap.
Then the truth emerges, riding in the rain just isn't that bad and we've all been making a huge fuss over nothing.
Cthuhlu. Why go for a lesser evil?
How old is "older?"
I run the latest Debian on a 10 year old Macbook Pro. Linux has given this laptop a second life as a lab machine - it's still plenty fast enough and it has a really nice screen (Retina) which Debian gets right out of the box with no tweaking. The only thing I needed to do when installing Debian is manually get the drivers for the WiFi hardware during the install (although Debian has the non-free firmware by default these days, they aren't permitted to distribute all firmware and the WiFi hardware in this machine unfortunately happened to be one of those).
The UK isn't going to extradite someone over a civil trademark case. (Does the extradition treaty even cover civil actions?) Reddit would likely have to bring a trademark case in the UK.
Why not just rename the instance, instead of creating a completely new one? Rename it, make sure feddit.uk still redirects there, job done. People are lazy and won't migrate unless they have to - I think you underestimate the difficulty in migration (getting everyone to do it. Just look at migrating off reddit to lemmy - so many people declaring how they hated the changes at reddit but how many actually moved? 1% of them? 0.1% of them? 0.01%? I would expect the number is closer to 0.01% than 1%). Just rename feddit.uk but keep all the users and all the communities so it's literally zero effort for the users and communities, even their bookmarks will just continue to work with a properly done redirection.
Also - I'm picking nits here - but "Feddit" isn't infringing a copyright, you cannot copyright a word. It would be a trademark infringement not a copyright infringement. The law around trademarks is quite different to copyrights. Even if Reddit gets wind of feddit.uk, the likely outcome will be a "cease and desist", and feddit.uk will have to be renamed, not some kind of catastrophe. Reddit's only going to go to the effort of pursuing a trademark case in the UK courts if the feddit.uk admins are completely intransigent and refuse to take action.
Probably a clusterfuck.
That cyclist is going to have very soggy feet. Better to have mudflaps that go down within a couple of inches of the road on the front mudguard, you have much drier feet that way :-)
Sigh. Yet another thing that must be sacrificed on the altar of the almighty motor car.
Looking forward to wave 3. Too bad but it has to be done.
One of the weaknesses with Lemmy I think is that communities themselves aren't distributed - a problem solved by both Usenet and FidoNet decades ago (for instance, a FidoNet bulletin board ceasing meant that the community there would have to be moved to another BBS - the FidoNet echoes ("communities") were themselves distributed so as a user you could just move to a new BBS and whole communities wouldn't have to be moved. Similarly with Usenet - your usenet server get shut down? Just move to a new one and subscribe to all the same groups.
As a workaround, you could use OBS and use OBS's virtual camera so Discord is streaming what it thinks is a camera, and set up whatever you want to share on your desktop through OBS.
