Nice, let me switch that out

Framing libraries as cheat sheets is hilarious

People will pirate no matter what and for various reasons. That's fine. Gloating about it publicly is just weird to me though.

So Kaspersky are starting to make Linux viruses then?

Meh, just put your question and wrong answer in a meme and post it anywhere, within an hour everyone will correct it with the right answer 😂

I mean most of us got it, even those that pretended not to. But a post like this would've definitely been better before hand. This is what I mean when I say Mozilla are hostile to community now, they're so happy to needlessly hide shit behind Figma links, that when something like this would've been challenged, they would've made a blog post before the roll out. It's like with the hiding of sub directories in the URL bar of Firefox for Android, it sucks and people would've said beforehand, but nope hidden behind Figma. The community are there to assist, embrace them so you (Mozilla, not OP) stop fucking up please.

Edit: Also Mozilla stop running to Reddit when Lemmy is here. Where is the support for the open web?

Wow. So they're saying that he's complicit in all crimes that may have taken place on Telegram. That's insane.

Lemmy is growing. Not exploding, but showing steady growth. It's interesting because Lemmy tends to grow in sputters. The good thing is though, is that the growth is organic and after a bit of friction, we get new people that stick around.

Do what YOU want with your money.

But if you have spare money, please check out the #MutualAid hashtag (on mastodon) and consider helping those in need there.

It wasn't. Hence not being fixed three years later.

Honestly, we should be paid for every CAPTCHA we complete. The amount of free labour big tech steals from us is astounding.

5000 pages, including e-commerce integration and bespoke search. £500!

Nice

Everyone: Mozilla should find new revenue streams in order to become truly independent.

Mozilla: We're open to suggestions

Everyone: …

Mozilla: We're going to explore doing so in an organic method across our products using the methodology that big tech is generating money, but with a Mozilla spin.

Everyone: How dare you!

I think most of the kbin instances switched to mbin

Google under Sundar Pichai is a terrible company that only succeeds based on its size and monopoly. Let's be honest, they're saying that search results will become secondary as they push their service. How do you, as a CEO and board, sign off on an idea that kills most of your (ad) revenue pursuing something that you haven't even figured out how to monetize? Make it make sense.

The article went out of its way to not mention Lemmy

That said, I would like to say that despite the issues with the ML administration, I feel the centralization of communities on WORLD is a far greater and thus more urgent issue for me.

Congrats Dull. As someone that's been reading contributions from your first pull request, I can say it's well deserved.

A few of the bigger instances have been very open about the fact that they're anti-piracy, anti-porn, etc and removing this community is par for the course with such a stance.

What does that mean for the average user? It means there's more incentive to move to better instances. It's when instances have such a monopoly on users and communities that people should not only move, but advocate for other people moving to smaller instances.

Also a major benefit of not being federated by large instances is that there's less surface area for search engines and thus resources last longer.

Decentralization is good for everyone.

Besides Tor, I'm yet to see a Firefox fork that makes sense

No wonder he supports Trump

When you parse that code, it presents this ඞ symbol, which looks close enough to the famous characters from Among Us, the viral video game.

Didn't we do this yesterday?

Can we get a screenshot of your setup please?

It's not about power tripping, it's about philosophy. When I left mainstream social media and decided upon the Fediverse, decentralization was very much at the top of the list. I was happy to be part of a world where one corporation wasn't in control of our lives. I'm just uncomfortable with the way that people are so eager to foster that in world. We shouldn't have to see them misbehave before we apply what we learned from previous mistakes.

You start out by bemoaning the onboarding experience and then move on to portability and then speak up the idea servers should just be relays and browsers should be the new world order.

Yes, onboarding definitely needs to be improved.

Yes, portability can be improved. Lemmy falls short of Mastodon and not even Mastodon is perfect.

But, what mastodon does so is foster does do excellently is foster the idea that social media is a tool and that users shouldn't be overly attached. Also, perhaps if we learn to value servers, so not treat them as mere relays, perhaps we'll be able to teach value and independence.

The problem is, too many people keep trying to think, how can we make the Fediverse relevant in the modern world? And the better question is, how can we redefine the modern world? How can we normalize the idea of cooperative servers? Whether friends, towns, cities, etc. How can we make it so the people running the servers that host our communities are committed and engaged and not running them at a deficit? I would even go as far as to say that there should be government schemes to repurpose old computers into mini servers and that governments should give everyone a domain like NAME.TOWN.CITY and everyone can run a personal server and get used to it and then they can grow from there.

Love the recruiting that you all are doing in there.

You mean, like cable?

I fucking abhor capitalism!

I'm caring, compassionate, empathetic and considerate. If that's ultra woke, then yeah, it's on purpose.

I've been screaming about this since I found out Re:CAPTCHA was using us to train AI. We should definitely be compensated.

I remember trying to play with I2P back in the day and it being slow. Now I wouldn't even know how to access it. Is there something I can read or watch that can reintroduce me and teach me the basics?

My favourite is the alt text support. I love seeing Lemmy being inclusive and accessible to all.

Surprised people aren't moaning about systemd being too big already and still wanting to do more.

I'm surprised that Slack beat Discord to it.

But yeah, you're right. We need to invest our time, energy and support into self hosted solutions.

I'm sorry, but this sounds… you are aware you're asking people to run a social network just so you're not inconvenienced, right and why would the developer just relinquish control of their flagship to appease you?

I just don't understand how you got there ahead of finding another kbin instance, switching to mbin? Switching to Lemmy?
