This isn't Facebook grandpa, you need to show your work.

I want kbin to be known as a network that is neutral and federates with all other instances, allowing users to decide what they wish to see.

There has to be a line though.

Fuck u/spez, stay dark indefinitely.

It's pretty funny to see someone in the wild who actually thinks because those were Communist countries, the persons in charge must have been 'Leftists'.

And damn those Leftists down in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee for growing all that tobacco using slave labor and then lobbying the government for the right to sell their product even though they knew it killed people!

115 comments and -320 karma. Stay woke guy, you'll get em next time for sure.

I'm not sure you understand how outsourcing works ...

I'm saddened by the amount of taxpayer money that was spent searching for 5 millionaires who went missing while on a joyride in a test vehicle.

Also, those statements appear to conflict. Why are they automatically excluding 'sensitive professions' yet stating 'it depends on the seriousness of the crime'?

I left Reddit and deleted my accounts a few hours after the subs went dark and my feed dried up. I don't use mobile apps, I have no horse in that race at all.

It just wasn't an enjoyable place to be anymore, and that's all because of spez.

Words With Fiends - Travel through the planes of Hell debating the denizens.

Warfame - The Hague simulator where you play as the former leader of a child army.

If I stayed awake at night thinking of the habits of stupid people, I'd never get any sleep.

Wolfenstein 3D. I'd played '3D' games like The Bard's Tale before, but the ability to turn around and look in 360' just blew my mind.

What a twat waffle.

What, specifically, are the issues you have with holding parents accountable for the actions of their children?

Looks fine to me.

New research also suggests that “truancy” is an arbitrary metric. The term refers to unexcused absences, but California gives individual schools substantial flexibility to determine what constitutes a valid excuse. (Certain reasons, like illnesses and religious observances, are always valid by law.)

And:

Shayla frequently missed school because she was in too much pain to leave the house or was hospitalized for long-term care. Her school was aware of these circumstances; it had records on file from the regional children’s hospital explaining that Shayla’s condition would necessitate unpredictable absences and special educational accommodations. Peoples and the school had worked together to set up some of those accommodations, which are required under federal disability law. At the time of her arrest, Peoples claims she was fighting with the school to get it to agree to additional accommodations under an Individualized Education Plan, which she said the school had rejected.

So basically, it's the school at fault here. Right?

You can try RealBasic or TCL/TK, though I haven't used either of them in over a decade.

Do you think if the mobile Reddit apps stop working (the ones that are miles better than the official Reddit app), mobile users are going to flock to kbin/lemmy? Are there any good mobile apps? All the ones I could find are extremely alpha/beta quality.

Reddit is perfectly within it's rights - the 'community' are not the customer at all. They are there to be used... This 'FUCK YOU' pricing debacle is going along with the Twitter format - either make it profitable or let it die.

The community is the product, advertisers are the customer. All social media companies are the same in that regard.

It doesn't matter to me, let it die. All I needed was a link aggregator where I could read various opinions on what was going on, and the occasional meme/cute animal pic. I can get those anywhere. I don't need Reddit.

If your child is missing 80 out of 180 days of school, you're doing a bang up job as a parent.

Also, S1E1 of Futurama!

Every time it's mentioned it's only about sending e-mail to different providers, but the analogy doesn't cover for example browsing your e-mail inbox and seeing communication from multiple sources. Just covering how one individual can send messages to multiple individuals via a common protocol is only half the picture.

Honestly it's more like the old mailing lists (Majordomo days), where individuals would subscribe to a list, but that list might also subscribe to other lists themselves, and then you throw a web interface in front of it.

Or when CallerID was an additional $8/month. It's fucking DNS for telephone numbers. Can you imagine if ISP's had charged extra for DNS and everyone decided to just memorize IP addresses instead?

I know you're using the e-mail analogy to represent how SMTP and ActivtyPub are a common protocol, but I've seen the same analogy mentioned several times and I think it only serves to muddy the waters, because it's incomplete.

I tried Win11 for a month before switching back. The completely unnecessary changes to the Start and right click menus killed it for me.

It felt like I'd taken my car into the shop for an engine tune-up and it came out with a square steering wheel and the gas/brake pedals were reversed.

That would quickly become a slippery slope, potentially to justify silencing views you don't agree with, and restricting freedom of speech.

Banning someone for violating the Terms of Service is not a 'free speech' violation.

now Twitter only comes up if Musk does something really, really, really stupid.

So... any day that ends in 'y'?

Is it though? It kind of feels like you broke up with someone but are still getting constant updates about who they're currently fucking the minute you left.

I guess that's some people's kink.
