The amount of advertising for this tool in recent times is starting to look a lot like astroturfing.

Not my post btw, just sharing the link :)

Sorry for the reddit link, I don’t know of a mirror. This was posted just today, running on an EeePC:

I used Ubuntu from version 8.04 to 18.04 and not once did I have a successful upgrade between major versions. There is always something that gets broken to the point that a reinstall is necessary.

they can’t be jammed the way radio can.

I wonder how well these satellite laser links do with various types of cloud cover.

By repeating their rhetoric, even as a joke, it’s just giving oxygen to people who don’t deserve any form of publicity whatsoever. It would be better not to reference these batshit-insane conspiracy theories and then perhaps they would die more quickly.

This story is about French/space/communications/technology. Not American/politics/racist/conspiracy. Not one genre overlap, so there’s no reason to even bring it up here. Maybe leave these jokes to the American politics threads.

(Federated) email didn’t survive. It got completely subsumed by the major providers who now have control over everything email related. It’s now impossible to run your own email server since none of the major providers will deliver your email without your mail server having first built a reputation.

The fediverse analogy would be if 99.9999% of users were on Threads and you couldn’t interact with any of those users from any of the small independent fediverse servers. Frankly, that’s exactly what it looks like is happening.

Wait until you see the ones that let you choose between “Accept All” and “Subscribe to monthly plan 4.99/mo”

I saw a website like that the other week and it was based in an EU country.

Since nobody has mentioned it yet, the other game that ruined his reputation for me is Godus. He funded it with a kickstarter with the promise it would be a successor to the God-Sim genre like Populous. It turned out to have all of the dark patterns of mobile games (time-gating with micro-transactions), but in a PC game.

Are you using the Import/Export Settings buttons in the settings page?

If you can reproducibly crash an instance then you should definitely file this as an urgent security issue in the lemmy repo so it can be fixed: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues

Are you one of the three proposers mentioned in the git repository?

I think for now Forgejo is a drop-in replacement. However since they are a hard-fork, at some point in the future they will diverge enough to be mutually incompatible, so the clock is ticking on migrating.

Why would there be any reason to bring feminism or Covid into that in the first place?

From another article:

The cautionary note against “feminist propaganda” is a reminder that Game Science have yet to respond to allegations of pervasive sexist behaviour from November last year. In a lengthy report for IGN, Rebekah Valentine and Khee Hoon Chan described “a studio plagued by claims of sexism”, linking this to misogyny elsewhere in the Chinese games industry and on the government-firewalled Chinese internet. The developers have raised the drawbridge in response: when Edders attended a preview event earlier this year, they refused to say anything on the subject in advance.

if I share some rice I made

FYI: rice is derived from a racist pejorative term. A lot of people in the desktop theming community have stopped using it.

This is not a federated bandcamp, it’s a platform for bands to do marketing across mutliple various social networks from one web portal.
