There truly is no spoon wrong thread 😂

Curated circlejerk 🧐

Cool, I guess. I don't really get the fascination with pitching Godzilla against Kong over and over again, when "King of the monsters" established so many more kaiju — sorry, "titans" — to choose from.

Or maybe, hear me out now: Just one good Hollywood Godzilla movie without the focus being Big G fighting as many monsters as possible? "Godzilla minus one" worked fine, it doesn't need to be a bleeping tournament each time.

Lemmy won't be tumblr, it will just federate with it 🙂 So I guess c/curatedtumblr will work even smoother when it becomes possible to just cross post over ActivityPub.

So, on the plus side that means they'll be on the Fediverse soon.

On the negative, by now I fully expect Matt Mullenweg to flip out over some perceived slight or rivalry and ruin Tumblr for everybody 🤷

You could be right about the Slitheen, but why not just name check his own creations then? I'm mostly curious to see now if there are actually going to be aliens called Boom Beasts in the new season 😄

As for Ellams, I think he's a genuinely interesting addition for his background in poetry as well as theatre. It doesn't hurt that he has the Nigerian mythology framework to draw from, and I think that's going to be thrilling to explore in a Who setting — but having an award winning playwright and poet writing for the show is perhaps the most left field thing I've seen in a good while.

Why the f— would an employee be invested in the corporation "winning"? Unless he sees LinkedIn as a co-op and actively works on distributing profits equally to all member workers, that there is just management drivel.

we're trying to make a federated bittorrent tracker, in the short term as an emergency information preservation vessel to avoid a fascist memoryhole, in the long term as a merger between the lessons of the federated and pirate web:

• web: https://sciop.net/
• code: https://codeberg.org/Safeguarding/sciop
• in re: @SafeguardingResearch@fedihum.org : https://safeguar.de/
• Safeguarding forum: https://forum.safeguar.de/

Dunno about you all, but I think "the lessons of the federated and pirate web" sounds intriguing at least.

Oh? 🤦 I'm sorry, I don't see the error in Mbin (mobile browser view). Please let me know how I can fix it for other platforms.

Thanks, now I spent all morning looking through Memory Alpha's lists of ensigns and unnamed command personnel 👍

This sounds like a "fight fire with dumpster fire" sort of solution. Please don't.

Hm, if you're willing to compromise on that janky text editor, there's still Jekyll, Hugo and all the other static site generators. Most will have some easy WP site import.

Bear in mind, I don't pretend to be a cool kid...

For a solution that's entirely online (ie. you aren't relying on a bunch of files on your local machine that you generate a site out of and upload), there are flat file websites like Grav, Bludit and Yellow. They are (usually PHP) sites that run without a traditional database.

There are also a couple of ActivityPub alternatives, but they seem to be floundering(?) Plume is currently not developed actively, and I just heard on here the other day that WriteFreely doesn't federate properly for some users. Take the latter with a grain of salt, though.

Oh, and Ghost just added ActivityPub, so there's one more to that list!

Sounds about right. I'm fine with just cracking and separating a couple of eggs.

Scratching my head over this as well. Yes, it might diminish casual discovery uptake that the app isn't in the Play Store, but for this target group I think most users would be comfortable downloading the app from Fdroid.

The larger issue with closing down the entire project including notification servers(!?) is probably a tell that there have been other factors weighing on the developer?

Either way, if the source code is openly available maybe others will pick up development in a way that isn't as vulnerable to corporate policy changes.

We have all been sucked in by those videos circulating online of “My $200 Shein Haul” or “Everything I bought for less than $5 from TEMU Review”

Um, no.

But I'm sure the fashion industry is just loving that there are commercial operators with even worse practices, making the constant seasonal churnout of new "fashion" look almost sustainable in comparison.

At least Thundermail would be part of a "Thunderbird pro" package, so you would still be free to use Thunderbird with any of the above alternatives. I'd think the opt-in pro service would serve as a revenue stream to keep development going in all products, including the open source mail client.

I was wondering about that too. A whole cup is... a lot. Rather than do the calculus I'd probably settle for egg white instead.

Paramount: "Yeah, we're rolling back all our inclusion policies because the political winds have changed."

Star Trek: "So you liked Stacey Abrams as future Earth president? Guys, we're pitching our tent in the Democratic camp!"

Wtf, how have I not heard that writefreely hasn't federated since Xmas?
