Politicians shouldn’t be allowed to draw the district borders in the first place. It’s a clear conflict of interest.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that this is even legal.

They did a lot of good for the FOSS community for many years. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.

That is one nice thing about F-Droid. They compile the binary like Linux distros do.

XFCE is seriously underrated.

I’m gonna play Devil’s Advocate here…

What’s to stop them from scraping the Fediverse without federating? If they really want the data, they could very well find a way. At least they’re spelling it out here and announced an attempt at proper federation.

Broadband ISPs also had protected monopoly or duopoly status for a really long time. It’s been fucking hilarious watching the cable company freak out because T-Mobile 5G is a viable option in my area now.

Ugh… don’t say it!

These geriatrics need to fucking retire. Gen X basically got shut out of federal politics, and the best-known millennial didn’t take federal office until 2019.

I wouldn’t have expected anything different.

This is some scary shit. I really don’t understand the Trump cult at all.

Yeah, Reddit was famously open to third party developers for 15 years or so, and now they and their bootlickers are claiming they didn’t know that there were third party apps using the API to browse the whole site.

Even the Apollo dev said nothing but good things about Reddit because they were very transparent with him until they decided to paywall the API. Nobody saw this coming.

Yeah, I’m on The Site Formerly Known As Twitter for artists, not gossip. Fortunately, the artist who drew my avatar (and who is a dear friend, Arsbin) is also on Mastodon, but she’s about the only one. TwitterX exploded in popularity in Japan when Elon took over for some reason, so my other dear friend, Nami, probably won’t leave anytime soon.

.com was a common file extension for MS-DOS executables, which was still in common use when the Internet started taking off.

I’m waiting for .7z because it doesn’t nag me to register it.

Seriously. We need to cut them some slack because nobody expected Reddit to go full Elon in May.

I’ve had better luck with the third-party apps lately. They also implement the features that are available on desktop that the official mobile app is missing.

I’m referring to people who work from home, never leave the house, and get everything delivered, and think that everybody else should do the same. And if they leave the house, they’re irresponsible. It blows my mind that there are people with lockdown nostalgia out there.

By default, your instance will only know about communities on that instance and communities that users of that instance have intentionally subscribed to. Unfortunately, this causes problems for users of smaller instances unless the instance admins are running a federation helper bot, which basically scans remote instances for communities and adds them to the instance.

I found this out the hard way when I first tried Lemmy, since I picked a tiny instance due to the larger ones being overloaded in June. I had a hell of a time trying to subscribe to the communities for the new Lemmy apps I was trying out. I kept getting Community Not Found errors until I refreshed the page multiple times until it eventually found the community.
