I guess letting a handful of white-collar racist IP lawyers draft your foreign policy isn’t such a good idea after all.

Seems like those big accounts always choose to go from corporate platform to another corporate platform. They almost never choose to move to the fediverse.



Who wants to be CEO of lemmy btw? You’ll have no power over anything, but we can call you that from now on as a joke.


Nice. Pretty happy that most of the fediverse, and most lemmy instances, are blocking threads.


I’m convinced its a combination of media silence on the fediverse (so most people don’t know about it as an alternative), and younger audiences who don’t know the history.

Because I can’t imagine why grown adults who know the history of these companies, would do the goofy I’ll fkn do it again meme, ten times in a row.



For sure, stuxnet is just the beginning, who knows what the US will subject the world to next.


The country that Linux is domiciled in currently (US), has slave labor camps:

  • The US currently operates a system of slave labor camps, including at least 54 prison farms involved in agricultural slave labor. Outside of agricultural slavery, Federal Prison Industries operates a multi-billion dollar industry with ~ 52 prison factories , where prisoners produce furniture, clothing, circuit boards, products for the military, computer aided design services, call center support for private companies. 1, 2, 3

It also has the highest prisoner population in the world both by capita and total.

Russia’s prison rates don’t even come close to the majority of US states, including even California.





You should let them know, they might need your expertise.


Okay so basic western supremacy, gotcha.

Redditors going from zero to rudyard kipling in 5 seconds.



What on earth are you both talking about? How is eliminating poverty a genocide?


And poverty eradication. And high speed rail. And smartphone and chip tech, and space program… kind of a long list.



What happened in south africa when they defeated the apartheid regime? Did they kill all the whites en masse like the western supremacists had nightmares about?


Really interesting article. Fingers crossed for Israel’s domain name going the way of the dodo next.

There’s also the case (like we’ve had here with ml), where a wild-west domain gets returned to a country, in our case mali.

Ideally though the internet should be able to function without dns at all, especially without a US-based company in California (ICANN) having the final say in controlling the world’s domain names.


There’s a lot of libraries that convert html to markdown (and in the process get rid of all the javascript spyware).

The android app markdownr can do this on the fly, and I had an idea to create a markdown web browser using that as a base, but no time to work on it.




What’s more dangerous for a US citizen? US companies forwarding info to local police (as facebook and google have and continue to do?), or another country with no such power doing that?


Extremely sad. Why couldn’t people just ask for context in a polite way, instead of bringing over all those aggressive twitterisms, and assuming the poster was “doing it for the engagement”.


Please report those comments also, so we can remove them.


We should allow the US surveillance giants into all countries, and let US companies control all world social media and communications platforms. Signal too, since it’s a US-hosted centralized service that must follow its NSL laws /s


I’ve been adding a bunch of torrent-focused features to both lemmy-ui and jerboa this week, the next releases of both should have them.


Do you keep lists of your favorite things, such as movies, books, recipes, or music albums? You might keep list(s) that looks like this: - Network (1976) - Lone Star (1996) - Devils (1971) - The Seventh Seal (1957) - ... _Many more films_ But how do you rank these? You might be tempted to order them by preference, but this could quickly get overwhelming for long lists. A much easier method is to use [pairwise comparisons](https://www.opinionx.co/blog/pairwise-comparison), which shows you single head-to-head pairs, and has you choose which one you like best. After doing a small number of these matchups, Rank-My-Favs can confidently create a ranked list for you. Under the hood, Rank-My-Favs uses the advanced [Glicko rating system](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_rating_system), to determine how many matches are necessary, and for ranking. ### Features - Import your existing lists quickly. - Uses the advanced [Glicko rating system](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_rating_system). ### Built With - [Android Jetpack Compose](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose) ## Installation / Releases - [Releases](https://github.com/dessalines/rank-my-favs/releases) - [IzzyOnDroid](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.dessalines.rankmyfavs) - [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.dessalines.rankmyfavs/) - [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dessalines.rankmyfavs) ## Support / Donate Rank-My-Favs will always remain free, open-source software.

You open it, or if you’re on android 13, you can set it as your digital assistant app.



I apologize for the innappropriate behavior and bans by @[email protected] in this thread, I’ve removed them as a mod here, banned them, and unbanned the ppl who they innappropriately banned.

Note: if they get unbanned in the near future, its because of our consensus procedure which requires us admins to take a vote.

Haha no, but we do have some things inside lemmy to make it better suited for question / answer communities, like the forum / new comments sort. But ya I’d be down to hear ideas on how to make lemmy better for that purpose.



The “Chinese steal everything and are expert copy-cats” is an orientalist trope with a few hundred years of history. White supremacists are still repeating it to this day, and in this thread.


I use termux to mosh/ssh to my arch linux dev server, and code from the command line using helix.

When I do android programming, since google forces you to use android-studio, I use AVNC on android, and tigervnc on my server. I hate this and I develop much slower than I would with helix / vim.


Yup, especially since tabs were an original mozilla invention, and android is by far the most popular OS in the world.


Android tablets are booming rn. I’ve coded lemmy with one for several years now.



Markor.

Then I also add my notes / docs folder to syncthing, and have it on every device.


There’s nothing preventing him selling the app or a premium version, while still open sourcing it. Free as in freedom, not as in beer. Open source makes no demands or says anything about how you choose to monetize.

Someone releasing a fork nowadays seems even more difficult than downloading an unlocked apk anyway. If they want your app for free, they’ll get it.


There are some ideas for it, and a PR which puts some of them out there, but not anytime soon.


It’s also on f-droid, which does their own builds, and you could also compare the build with one you do on your own machine. So no, you don’t have to trust me.


A trustworthy person doesn’t require you to trust them; they don’t keep secrets from you, and are an open book. Beware anyone asking you to “just trust them”, which is what the authors of all closed source software demand of you.
