New rules curtailing their use could hurt service providers such as Baidu, Tencent, and Meituan, which rely on such methods to promote their products and generate profit from advertisements.

So I've been trying to update/upgrade my system/applications for the last few days and it has been erroring, I ignored it and now when I try to `sudo apt upgrade` it tells me that I have "Low Disk Space on "boot" The volume "boot" has only 0 bytes disk space remaining." What happens when I run `sudo apt upgrade`: ``` user@user:~$ sudo apt upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 4 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue?

In my opinion the only good thing it does is to create copies of already existing communities, so basically people tend to follow one community or the other and it divides the people who could be active. If you want to create a community that's similar to one and for some reason you don't want to be a part of it, find another name, if you can't find another name, create your own instance. So if Lemmy is federating now we could have /c/worldnews, /c/world_news, and the same applies to every other instance that decides to do the same. In my opinion this only segregates people. The same applies to uppercase letters, which Reddit uses but luckily Lemmy does not, imagine how many copies of a community could be created if you use both.

Have you heard of it? Do you know anything about how they handle encryption and if it's any good?

Or do you think they're going to liberate some parts of its code?

So I found out about them today, and I was wondering if they have any value when it comes to finding a job and also if they teach you anything or if they a bullshit and I should spend my moneis into something else.
