Also Telegram is growing shadier day by day. Signal is the way to go.
Quite possibly a luddite.

Honestly, I think this might be on to something. RFK jr was not always a lunatic - before he went insane he did some truly great things in his career. He then gradually made a turn for the worse, ending up as the mentally insane candidate we know today. It honestly explains his political platform pretty well.
It also reminds me of that great infowars interview with a Sanders supporter (correctly?) observing that they have worms in their brains.
Is Linux Mint well adapted for touch screens?
I think I would go for GNOME if I were to use Linux with a touch screen. Then again, I’m using it anyway, so I’m probably biased.
And make damn sure it’s an underground railroad. It’s far too risky to put them on a plane.
The Simpsons gig is of course beautifully referenced to in Banksy’s couch gag.
Clearly Mike needs to stop being absurd.
Indeed, thanks!
It should certainly spice up performances of John Cage’s As Slow as (legally) Possible.
I’m sure you’re aware of it already, but WineHQ provides a good overview over which software runs well under WINE. :)
You go to @potus and follow him from there. :)
What a sad faith for a website named after the glorious Dodo.
As genocide per definition requires internt, the argument that “whoops, it was an accident!” might actually hold up in court.
Of course it is not an accident, and central authorities (Netanyahu and his fascists) know exactly what they’re doing. But this is what they’re betting on, and time will tell if it works out for them.
The genocide convention and the state of Israel were brothers in birth, both being responses to the atrocities of the Holocaust. This time around they will be reunited as enemies.
But Twitter used to have a monopoly, and it doesn’t any more.
I can now follow an official white house account directly from Kbin, whereas yesterday i would have had to sign up for either Twitter or Threads. That makes a difference. :)
That’s @potus, for those on platforms that can view microblogs and that are not defederated from Threads.
Remember that comments are not federated to/from threads yet. If I understood correctly, likes are federated.
Well, the ones that federate with Meta will still be federated with those who don’t. So it’s really no different from what the Fediverse is already: Fragmented by design.
Then again, why would a fan page want to open for contributions from outside of that fan page? Why would the Star Wars wiki federate edits with the Startrek wiki? On which page of the wiki would this make sense?
I just don’t get it.
I’m not sure I see the benefit of this. The point that Wikipedia might eventually become corrupted is made moot by the permissive licensing of the information there. The main challenge of the Wiki format is with fact checking and ensuring quality, which is only made more complicated by having a federated platform.
ActivityPub is great for creating the social web. The added benefit of ActivityPub for non-social services is not obvious to me at all.
That said, it’s a cool proof of concept, and I’m sure it can be useful for certain types of federated content management - I just don’t see how it could ever make sense as a Wikipedia alternative.
I think people can be running pretty old versions of Android everywhere, assuming they don’t change their phones every two years when support for their current device ends. They might still want to use an up-to-date web browser.
There’s just no reason we shouldn’t expect 99% of new apps to run on older phones, and to hell with the entire industry for normalizing it.
I’m currently experimenting with Seppo for my website, which is… not ready yet. So maybe not the greatest suggestion. But development is happening fast, and I like it for a couple of reasons.
Basic functionality such as editing and deleting posts does not work yet, so it’s absolutely not ready for primetime. But it’s a project worth following, especially for those of us with an interest in the social web.
Edit: I guess this would be more if you wanted to create a basic website yourself, and add a tool for content management to it. I read the post a bit too quickly - if you’re not interested in writing some code there are much better options to go for out there. Seppo I think is nice for those who actively want to tinker a bit. :)
Yeah, happens to me all the time as well. People specifically ask me not to commit acts of genocide in a specific population, and I just accidentally bomb them anyway a few hours later.
It’s truly tragic, but there’s really nothing I can do about it, and I honestly wish people would stop bitching about it.
