Nope. It’s a bit kitschy, but it does its job. Nitro though, nah.

Kbin kept logging me out. At some point, it got so annoying, I deleted my bookmark.
Congratulations, Poland. Finally getting away from the “problematic democracy” label.
I believe our societies are so complicated and complex, it’s tough to run them when the weather is fine. As soon as problems pop up, chaos ensues, and totalitarian regimes often have an easier time dealing with them. That’s the main problem IMHO, humanity having the tendency to take the path of least resistance.
It’s very simple actually. Russia invaded a souvereign country. The end.
We don’t have the medical treatment yet. But we’re getting close.
I guess you’d call this growing pains, and it’s good this happens this early and is being done in such a manner. There’s just no way to reason with corporate, you have to point a gun at its head to make it move.
Every decision he makes only hastens Twitter’s demise.
First result, searching from Japan. Maybe it’s very specific to Korea.
None of your business.
Xi has focussed his efforts mostly in Beijing. The Shanghai clique is no more, and standards are declining accordingly.
Please don’t assume everyone commenting here only has a very blurry view from afar.
Xi already failed to build a legacy with his zero COVID policy, and things are rapidly getting worse economically. Fighting a war is traditionally a good way to distract the people, especially if it’s Taiwan. I doubt it being unpopular or people dying phases him much. He’s a dictator very much like Mao, who couldn’t care less about millions of dead Chinese people. For them, it’s all about power, not about his people. The CCP isn’t interested in bettering their living conditions at all.
Gonna check out Connect, thank you :)
On sh.itjust.works, shit just works.
As for apps, I’m using Liftoff, which works well, but hasn’t seen an update for a while, and I don’t know how active the dev is. I’d rather not use Jerboa, which has been created by tankies, or any of the ad-infested ones, like Boost, because I think it’s despicable to try and profit off of user-generated content on a platform that’s meant to be free (could have stayed on Reddit if I wanted that).
I don’t think Lemmy will reach or overtake Reddit. That’s a good thing in my opinion, because massive platforms come with massive moderation problems that aren’t so easy to tackle for decentralised networks. We’ve seen that when someone posted kiddie porn and several servers went down to scrub the filth from their systems.
If anything, Lemmy already has a pretty high amount of troll communities, thankfully mostly contained within their own servers, which enables separation through defederation (speaking of defederation, I’d love to have an option to block servers on the user level).
Sure, but I’d rather Google spy on me to market my data for targeted ads than a country that runs literal concentration camps and is just across the Taiwan strait, basically a stone’s throw from where I live.
I’d think it’s more that there’s now more media fighting your attention. When I was a kid (GenX here), we had a handful of TV channels and books. Books was what I went with.
Nowadays, I get home from work and watch something on YouTube before bed. I still read, but my standards have risen, and a trashy space opera won’t do it anymore for me. It has to be a great one now, and there are fewer of them. So, naturally, YouTube gets a bigger share of my time. Or games, when I have time to play on the weekends. My comfort game used to be Civilization, and currently I’m hooked on Baldurs Gate.
WTF. Poor girl.
It’s a Chinese state company, and China has a vested interest in controlling,or at least influencing Afghanistan, so Russia can’t.
I’d like to know, too. Especially considering most servers I’m on are unlikely to switch.
