is-sorted and a handful of about 300 other npm packages. Cloning the repo and installing takes about 16 hours but after that you're pretty much good for the rest of eternity

Didn't crunchyroll used to be exactly that kind of website they're getting taken down now? Lame...

But then who backs up the backups?

Serious question, is there actually a FOSS project out there at the scale of something like Firefox that survives on only donations?

They won't even give my boy a chance

Seems like it. I suppose it's an honest mistake to make, she (or her PR team) put the Kanji for "seven" and "ring" (but also more generally means circular or loop or wheel), but Kanji when combined doesn't always mean what you'd expect it to mean. In this case those two Kanji together is a noun meaning charcoal grill. Kanji combinations can be highly logical, where their standalone meanings come together to a very sensible combined meaning. But sometimes they don't make much sense and the reasoning for the combined meaning is lost to time.

But come on, man... Just search for it online or open a dictionary before you permanently write something on your body.

Free pis as far as I'm concerned. If they were ever gonna "recover" their assets they would have to track them down and if anybody has just the pi in their possession they'd have to prove it's one of theirs, probably by getting law enforcement involved. I doubt the city would be all that happy to help when they've literally just littered throughout the city and left.

Them: "my favourite political party will stay in power forever"

Who is setting this standard? Is the general gaming population really upset if the graphics of the new CoD or sportsgame iteration is not hyperrealistic?z

You might wanna read up on the algorithm Lemmy uses. Specifically this part:

• Active uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days).
• Hot uses the post votes, and the post published time.

If you're sorting by Active, that means those posts you're seeing are pretty, well, active even if they're a couple days old.

Sure they can. But...

1. How can they compete in a space where people are already there providing a service without trying to extract value from them?
2. Why would one of these larger instances sell out when their userbase can sustain them and selling out is antithetical to the reason they started the instance in the first place?
3. I and many people like me would be fine in our own instances. We'd just defederate. If, say, lemmy.world sold out those guys would just have to switch instances. It's a pain, yes, but it's possible.

I wonder if he thinks about it at all or if he's got a gang of yes men telling him it's all good.

She can't "own" people, don't be ridiculous now. She can only compel them with violence into servitude and extract the fruits of their labor. But ownership? That's messed up.

And pounds are what Americans use instead of kilograms.

Because nobody really cares about free as in freedom. Speaking in hyperbole, of course, but you step outside of our tech savvy bubble for just a moment and it feels that way very quickly. As far as they're concerned, Facebook is free. Threads is free. Switching from twitter to threads is just switching from one shitty free thing to another free thing that they think will be less shitty. Of course it's less shitty now, they want users. Mastodon? Pleroma? Seems kinda confusing, what's a server? Is FB a big server? Yeah... Free software alternatives have some PR problems to overcome at the moment. Now if there could be a new thing, a killer app, that was free? That would be insane.

Yeah, what do people expect? It's not like they own massive, self-sufficient data centers on several continents.

More complex build systems are just build.sh calling other build.sh in different configurations and using different software. It's build.sh all the way down.

This level of effort is probably geared more towards those who create the torrents, not those who consume them.

Gotta go with the Normandy SR-2

And her crew 😢

I think that's what they were saying. For those, it is likely indeed malice. For friends and family, it's likely just stupidity or ignorance.

I think the problem here is there's no prior consent. If you've DM'd someone in the past, they can now call you. Twitter never had video call before, and the people who use it never expected to be giving consent for a video call maybe even several years later.

Future you is thinking the same thing and not giving you the numbers unfortunately

Your freedom to do those things under capitalism is wholly bound by your existing wealth, and wealth begets wealth. When your parents are well off, you can get into good schools, get better education, and ultimately get a better job and, really, be a better worker bringing more wealth into the already existing pool of wealth your family had. Those who have been disenfranchised by way of things like eminent domain, redlining, or the straight up prosecution of them and their fellow men simply don't have that option to rise up. They don't even have the opportunity to try and fail, they've failed by their very existence. At a macro scale, once you've reached the top (e.x. Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc.) you have the resources to not only out-do any of the competition but to sell products at a loss to starve your competition and bully them into submission, which big companies do all the time instead of investing in better products. It's just good business.

Circumstance plays a lot into how much wealth you start out with and how much wealth you end up being able to accrue, so while it's nice being not even at the top but even just the middle, it's important to have the mindfulness to know that there are those below you who don't have the same freedoms, and they're not there because their businesses did poorly. Some of them are, but most are simply victims of greater powers stealing their capital.

I see you.

But both examples you're suggesting sound wrong to me, and here's why.

"One in ten residents is" ignores the fact that you're actually referring to roughly 10 million people. As in, "in Japan, 10 million people are over 80". If you were maybe saying something like "one of these ten people is" that makes more sense.

"None of these things is" ignores the fact you're talking about a quantity of 0. It's not the same as "not one of these things" because that is just a negation of "one of these things" you're saying "0 things are".

It may not be formally or technically correct, but I'm a native English speaker and they just feel right.

Holy shit, microplastics are defined as fragments smaller than 5mm????? I thought it's way smaller, 5mm is big enough to see with your naked eye!

That's been part of the official Reddit app for a while now.

Which is why either

• Votes should be publicly viewable like they are in kbin. Not necessarily readily viewable to save server resources, but through a click through or something. No need to hide something that is, in essence, public info.
• Votes should not be federated at all, but that would be awful for very small instances, though this is how Mastodon has always done it.
• Votes should be federated in aggregate, but this would kind of break federation because it's a new type of Activity.

If Mr Pooh was personally overseeing my day to day I'd feel pretty special

I was actually surprised that you could still bookmark javascript: URLs since you can't paste them into the address bar anymore.

How inaccurate is your scale?

I, as a mastodon user, will be able to follow my friends, celebrities, artists and interact with them when federation is activated

This is exactly what's scary. You might wanna check out this blog post about Google and XMPP, which is another federated protocol. Google Talk used to support XMPP, to the point that so much of the XMPP user base were Google Talk users. Then, Google Talk started implementing Google Talk specific features that other XMPP clients did not support. Yes, it made Google Talk more feature rich, but it then made regular XMPP users out of the loop. Then, the final nail in the coffin was Google Talk dropping XMPP support. Suddenly everybody's friends who were using XMPP to communicate just... went offline as far as GT users were concerned. Then of course, Google killed Google Talk. This is EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) in a nutshell, and any time corporate interests enter projects like this, you're at risk of this happening.

Don't get me wrong, the fediverse could use some upgrades, more resources, more users. But I just don't trust Meta to have the fediverse's best interests at heart in the way. They're a corporation, one of the biggest in the world, and they'll only ever care about what benefits Meta.

But it’s good that viable alternatives exist in case Microsoft ever considers shutting down the Java edition.

I had never even considered that as a possibility but now it seems all too possible and I'm gonna have to sit with that for a while...

You also need an eye for the right aesthetics and some marketing savvy, there's lots of pretty girls who still don't meet the cut for "influencer". Granted, being pretty and having marketing savvy is a really good recipe for success, but it still makes no guarantees.

You thought my full size oven, 6 burner stove, and kitchen island were for... preparing and cooking food? Am I some kind of servant?

Those guys are exactly the kinds of people who should be on the fediverse, honestly. Running a Lemmy instance, even not participating but just letting it accumulate.

I posted about it elsewhere in the thread but there's an active discussion about implementing something like multireddits, that could be the solution. On the whole, though, I think fragmentation is kind of the point of federation and probably a good thing, given that we have a way of browsing through all of the communities without having to go through each individually. It means no one person can really decide that "actually, fuck games, /c/gaming is a bong smoking community now" cause then we just go to the gaming community on another instance. Perhaps a multireddit you can subscribe to that will automatically subscribe you to all the communities without having to update?

For sure! I was more trying to see if it'd work at all. Apps seem to cache the image but the websites just load it. Theoretically this could be used to collect IP addresses 🤔

And the of is an optional field for if they have an onlyfans

Use emojis for extra brevity.

🏭🌊👎. 🧼🌊👍?

I made a fix for this and tried reaching out to the owners of lemmy.world, Beehaw, and sh.itjust.works so they could grab it (it's most prevalent on their instances because of the volume of subscriptions they have) but while Ruud did say he'd check it out no one else responded and the patch isn't up anywhere other than my instance. I was gonna make a PR but the Lemmy Devs said that they wouldn't make another release for 0.17 and this issue is already fixed in 0.18.
