Companies should test to open web standards and tell users to file a ticket with their browser devs if something breaks because of nonstandard behavior.

Probably important to also include that personal property is not private property. Private property would be means of production such as farms or factories - they are owned by the workers collectively. You still can have a house, a bed, a refrigerator, a TV, etc.

You wouldn’t be able to lift the door without the spring acting as a counterweight. It’s usually a big roller just above the doorway on the inside (right near where the track curves in) with cables that run down to the bottom door panel.

So yeah, huge spring under constant tension.

Trollops and scallywags

Lemmy is AGPL v3.0. From what I understand, that means anyone running Lemmy (or a fork of Lemmy) needs to make their source code public, even if their code changes are strictly to support their own network infrastructure.

it really doesn't matter though, as a corporation only needs to implement an interface to Lemmy via ActivityPub protocols; in other words it they could write a completely closed-source backend to use for profit and as long as it can poop out the correct data structures over ActivityPub to allow Lemmy instances to understand it, it will work.

This already happens as we can see and subscribe to kbin magazines, and Mastodon users can be @'d and IIRC can reply to comments via Hoot (or whatever they call it). Kinda wild, but it also leaves the door open to literally whoever.

I think the real interesting question is will a large corporate player be able to maintain a captive userbase? None of the doomsday scenarios play out in their favor unless they can capture users and communities - because then the usefulness of the whole thing rides on their server being available. At that point it's reddit with more steps - they can do what they want.

It's easy for really old posts to get necro'd in Active sort. Not necessarily a bad thing, but if you use the "feed" to keep up with the latest then it'll cloud your listings a bit. A lot of people don't look at the post date right away (especially those of us from alien site since we're still operating on old habits).

Hot also had a bug that pushed old posts up, IIRC? Maybe i'm thinking of Active; I can't remember off the top of my head as I type this. Anyway I think Active is based on recent comment activity and Hot is based on recent voting activity. Nothing wrong with either, but I am honestly appreciating the "Top X hours" methods to keep up with recent news and events and to keep things fresh.

We're still in the "oh shit activity has increased by a factor of a thousand, we need to make the database not crash" phase of development of Lemmy (and kbin) so I'd expect that eventually the feed sorts will be looked at and tweaked. Just needs a bit of attention to get what you are looking for at the moment.

The fact that I'm still seeing this at the top of my "Top (Twelve Hours)" means you're probably right? lol

Something hilarious that I discovered: If you still have an old copy of Alien Blue on your phone, it still works. Haven't tried all the functions but I guess the API key must be the same as the official app (since they bought it and just started working on it).

I'm staying off reddit because my big mad protest will surely convince a corporation not to ruin itself by having no decent plan to become profitable (ha), but if you're looking to still browse with a not shitty app it might still be working lol

Hey i got yelled at for telling someone not to go hard on reddit tropes, so let's do some instead to make up for it:

The CVS receipt of the Internet

Maybe read the comment again? Reddit was a wealth of actual information and solutions to weird problems that can't be dug up from FAQs and product support pages; links to old driver downloads, tutorials on how to get different software to work together in ways that the devs don't really have time to support, etc. and that's just for software. I'd image it's the same for many other hobbies; hell, industries even.

Now comments are deleted, people with knowledge aren't posting as much, and (yes, purely out of spite) i'm not logging in so a lot of that discussion is now inaccessible to me (and many others).

So despite your incorrect assumption that I'm bootlicking for reddit corpo, it's the opposite. I'm pissed at those assholes for taking the time to create something valuable to pretty much anyone online and then just cutting it off. Find a better way to become profitable.

Something of value was lost.

Am a reddit refuge. Not trying to push anyone out, but we have the chance to change the old ways before they take hold here.

Also, as I stated in my post, I think that something of great value was lost. reddit was valuable. I still get reddit links in most of the things i search for (actually, it feels like even more now) for basically any specific computer or technology questions I'm looking into. Half the time it's deleted, half the time I can't see the thread without logging in and I'd really rather stand my ground.

So yeah, for better or for worse, the internet just experienced some big-ass brain drain. I'd say that was something of value.

Fuck /u/spez though

Agree with all except the "righteousness mixed with hypocrisy" - I didn't whip out "and nothing of value was lost" or "this". Complaining on the internet isn't a reddit trope, it's been around since the beginning.

And now that I read my comment again, i remember that stupid comic with the crow doing standup and goddamnit i've been reddit brained

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

I mean, they probably are technically worth more now...they just didn't stop to think about what everything else would cost at this point lol

Van Gogh Entertainment System

What a boomer brained and probably racist take

Yeah, a crowd of fucking kids got larger than anticipated and of course got rowdy with no security set up. They should go to prison? For being kids? We should ruin their entire lives and give them a record? For dancing and throwing water bottles?

Or are you mad that black kids fought back against overly aggressive cops?

I watched a clip of a white cop grab and arrest a black dude who was literally just dancing.

ACAB

He’s currently the top streamer on Twitch by subscriber count, and regularly draws high tens of thousands of concurrent live viewers. He’s “known”.

From what I know about him, I’m pretty sure he just didn’t imagine that THIS MANY people would show up. No fucking way he did this for “clout” or to “flex his power and cause a riot” (like Fox News actually suggested). I wonder why they’d say that 🤦🏿‍♂️

I mean to don’t really need your word processor to be a “3D experience”. I think a big part of Vision Pro is bringing your work environment with you. Like, you know where everything is, how to find it, etc.

When you need to “step into your office to draw that up” you can just pull your headset down for a minute.

People will tell you racing is about winning, but it’s not. Championships are about winning. Racing is about the action on the track.

Who are we (fans in general) to tell a team and drivers who did everything right and are literally pulling of a (AFAIK) historic sweep of the season “you should let someone else take a turn winning”. That’s such “baby sister” energy. We can do better.

EDIT: oh you said “sploof” so I glanced over it. Seems the term “spoof” (as in to fake) has been telephone’d by stoners over the last 20 years because I’ve never heard “sploof” in my life. Sounds like some Rick & Morty shit.

Original post: Build a spoof, homie.

Take a plastic coke bottle, poke holes in the bottom about 1/8” across, in each of the feet

Stuff that bitch fulla dryer sheets

Blow your hits through it

Now it smells like you used fabreeze for bong water but at least it’s not blatant
