Her sidder jeg, med mit hjerte brudt // Prøvede at skide, men slog kun en prut
No, it’s 100% economics. Why do you think that having “careers, lives and travel” (as if having a family is not having a life?) is more appealing to modern first worlders? Because it doesn’t impact their finances severely. Having more children in impoverished countries is a financial gain because children are free labor and lottery tickets to get the entire family out of poverty. In wealthy countries, children are only a financial loss.
I have two phones as daily drivers, one Android and one iPhone. Compared to Android, the iPhone is very restrictive and locked down. Adblockers don’t work and you’re forced to use whatever iOS interface it throws at you. Buttons and gestures move around with every update. There’s no way to view and manage internal files, no sideloading, lots of options that are just not accessible to normal users.
The positive side is that iPhones are very optimized and I can get similar performance to my Android phone despite the iPhone being older and having worse specs. The closed ecosystem also has its benefits, because it makes data very hard to get out, so I use the iPhone as a device to sandbox all the Meta crap that I’m forced to use.
Are they going to keep the lawsuit focused on OpenAI and Meta or turn it into yet another lawsuit against piracy?
Federated actions are never truly private, including votes. While it’s inevitable that some people will abuse the vote viewing function to harass people who downvoted them, public votes are useful to identify bot swarms manipulating discussions.
Hate speech laws in real life are also very ambiguous and rarely stand alone in court without another more easily proven charge.
Upvote to you too anyway, although I’m still guilty of using downvote as a disagree button.
I didn’t bother to check who it is because I’m not petty enough, but there’s a guy on my instance who downvotes everything. I think some people are using downvotes to “hide read posts” as voting counts as reading a post.
“Discussions became binary”. And yet you subscribe to the binary of “hateful vs. non-hateful opinion” as if it’s clearly identifiable.
This is happening across the entire continent. Mass immigration is a common strategy to destabilize social systems and force voters to accept bad compromises.
This one is probably either small enough to fly under Disney’s radar or has already been shut down. Disney successfully copyrighted one Club Penguin revival project for using the art assets and logo, even though the code was completely rewritten. Maybe this is the one?
There is either no chance of that getting off the ground or the project you are talking about has already shut down. The Club Penguin IP is owned by Disney who aggressively copystrikes Club Penguin revivals.
They can. My country’s right wing parties supported mass immigration together with the left, and once the consequences of it became too severe to ignore, they switched to “drain the swamp” campaigning to get votes. Now that they got the votes and are a majority in government, no concrete action is being taken to solve the problems of mass immigration, but corporate subsidies are being handed out.
“Suddenly”? This has been happening for a long time. If you click on outbound links from built-in Windows apps, they used to always open in Edge unless you used a tool named EdgeDeflector to redirect them to your preferred browser. In 2021, they killed EdgeDeflector by making it impossible to redirect links with the microsoft-edge:// protocol baked in, even if you go deep into the registry settings to change this. They will eventually do this to Outlook and Teams too and get away with it, just like they got away with restricting EdgeDeflector.
https://leddit.danmark.party, because it’s running a bot named Leddit that pulls content from Reddit. And, uh, Denmark Party, because I love Denmark and I thought it would be really funny to own a domain named this. I also wanted to split my serious and silly projects into different domains, so I bought this extra domain and use it for all of my silly projects now.
(Not posting directly from that instance so I can leave the bot in peace, but federation definitely works because posts from it are getting through to other instances)
Yes, it started from this terminology change at Twitter in 2020. They’re the reason that version control systems call the primary branch ‘main’ instead of ‘master’ by default, because ‘master’ comes from the master/slave terminology that is used in electronics hardware design.
There’s a comment here saying that master/slave in hardware design is being replaced by primary/secondary because of the software trend, which I think is stupid. Master/slave works much better in that context because the master device controls the slave device. Primary/secondary implies that the slave device is a fallback of the master device.
I played it in 2020 and it’s the same. The devs probably didn’t want to make them too smart so it could be played as an idle game.
You get tracked if you give up and accept the privacy invasions because “the internet is just like that”. Get a phone with an unlocked bootloader, remove the stock Android and install GrapheneOS/LineageOS/CalyxOS.
I don’t use Reddit for the interaction, average Redditors are annoying to interact with. Reddit’s value to me is the amount of information it contains. It’s supposed to be like copy pasting a book that has DRM, so you can make use of the content without worrying that the book’s copyright holder will use it to screw you over eventually.
I’m working on that one! Fork of lemmit.online, so it doesn’t need API access.
Don’t worry about it spamming instances. This bot posts so much that it will be automatically blocked from any instance that uses the default Lemmy rate limits, so all bot deployments will have to run on an instance that is specifically for them.
Source code for the bot will be released on July 1st if Reddit doesn’t introduce a breaking change on that day and if I don’t receive a good argument as to why this bot will destroy the Fediverse.
It will continue to work if you’re the only user on your Teddit instance. Teddit (and Libreddit, and any of the Reddit alternative frontends) use the Reddit API un-authenticated and after July 1st, they will be rate-limited to 10 requests per minute. The limit is enough for the activity of one logged-out user but it will break the proxy instances that allow many users to combine their traffic under one IP.
Is this like when they made the kilogram some function of the speed of light instead of the weight of a metal ball in a French museum?
