Sorry if it sounds rude, but you didn't even read the post carefully, did you?
Armacadia
Isn't that for MMS only?
Yeah, but it's an incoming SMS? Are there still any tariffs with paid incoming messages (possibly except when roaming)?
clarification: it is sent by the network, not by the recipient's handset, so they pay nothing for it
That is AI generated??? WOW. It's so clean.
Nope, read the last sentence.
Doesn't military time also use 24th hour followed by hour 1 instead of 0?
The instances sync data only as needed - for example, if a user on a specific instance is following someone on another instance, and that someone posts something. Fetching and storing data from the entire Fediverse would require an absolutely enormous amount of bandwidth and storage, much more than most people will ever be able to afford and maintain :) (This is also why instances often purge old cached data - to reclaim storage space that is unlikely to be taken by useful data, per the nature of minuteness of social networking, and if you ever need a deleted resource, it can just be requested and synced back up to your instance, as long as it's still available on the original one.)
As the end user, you should be aware that this synced data may, and most likely will at some point (not many instances achieve absolute 100% uptime, after all), get incomplete - especially if you're using a smaller instance. When browsing user profiles, it is generally a good idea to look up their profile on their own instance, as it is guaranteed to have all of their data.
Also note that my explanation regarding "frontends" is oversimplified and technically inaccurate: a "frontend" is the user interface part on top of the software that implements the protocol. This, basically, means that you don't have to stick with whatever UI your instance offers - there are other web and native clients that will talk to your (Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, whatever they come to support) instance, and your instance will still handle all things ActivityPub, such as fetching data from other instances to it and vice versa.
Mastodon is just one of the many frontends for ActivityPub, the protocol behind the whole thing. While Mastodon software indeed is written and maintained by an organization, it is nonprofit, and doesn't have any control over the actual Mastodon instances since those are basically run by enthusiasts
Man I hate YouTube so much by this point, and had even before this anti adblock thing due to their mobile apps never working properly on any of my devices, mobile website basically made the clunkiest experience possible (to force people into using the app?) and desktop site being just so damn heavy. Would totally completely move to federated alternatives if not the 20 years of YT exclusive content that won't ever be reuploaded elsewhere. It's not even like a social network or a forum where you minutely talk to someone about something, get a response and then forget forever, it sadly grew a lot bigger than that
That is still better than nothing :)
I'm not sure how exactly it works in Android, but I can see internal storage being freed after I move freshly installed, never launched (so, cache size should be zero) apps to SD, so I assume it does something with apps themselves as well.

I think I get what you mean now - to make an app movable, the developer has to set a value in AndroidManifest.xml, then the OS itself will offer an option to move that app elsewhere in app settings.
