i’d say use of the word is actually accurate here

Ah i wasn’t sure if you just wanted to follow or participate. This solution allows you to follow but not participate

Why do you need a 3d printer when carrots have been coming out of the ground for thousands of years.

they explain that in the article :)

US = the world, don’t you know?

I have the perfect solution - rdx.overdevs.com

It’s mobile-friendly, and you can follow/subscribe without creating an account. You can also import a list of current subscriptions from your old reddit account using a .json file.

The only issue is that it’s read-only and you can’t create an account, post or upvote. But given the shitstorm that is the reddit admin team, i view this as a good thing!

Decades of good work, all undone by her stubborn refusal to step down when the time was right.

And now the Supreme Court will lean conservative for decades to come.

I hate to say it, but I think it would have been a liberal win if instead of RBG, another left-leaning Supreme Court judge that was ineffective but stepped down at the right time was nominated instead.

this deserves to be its own post!

The best term I’ve heard to describe this is “Hapsburg AI”

don’t feed the trolls, just downvote and move on

Why not sort your subscribed communities by New?

Amen.

You can’t keep slaves anymore, but you can own a company and pay your workers an amount that makes it hard for them to pay for basic necessities so they don’t have time for leisure, or organising unions, or finding other jobs. The workers are free to go, of course, but then they’ll fall into financial ruin and not have healthcare.

Are there plans to build some sort of instance-blocking feature?

It’s wild that companies essentially destroyed the practice of overclocking.

Does this work consistenyl? I tried that with Pinterest’s login popup and it doen’t work (the element changes every time you enter the site). I ended up adding a filter to remove all Pinterest results from all my searches.

Yeah, I don’t like shorts but it would at least have been tolerable with a seek bar.

Everyone is talking about defederating preemptively because of XMPP and EEE. But the very fact that we know about EEE means that it’s much less likely to succeed.

Zuck is seeing the metaverse crash and burn and he knows he needs to create the next hot new thing before even the boomers left on facebook get bored with it. Twitter crashing and burning is a perfect business opportunity, but he can’t just copy Twitter - it has to be “Twitter, but better”. So, doing what any exec does, he looks for buzzwords and trends to make his new product more exciting. Hence the fediverse.

From Meta’s standpoint, they don’t need the Fediverse. Meta operates at a vastly different scale. Mastodon took 7 years to reach ~10M users - Threads did that in a day or two. My guess is that Zuck is riding on the Fediverse buzzword. I’m sure whatever integration he builds in future will be limited.
