Well I'm an idiot too then as I'm already subbed to that community.

However, yes, that's a perfect companion to the Web Revival community.

!digitalgardens@lemmy.blahaj.zone seems kind of relevant. I do not mod it for transparency.

Thanks but I can't find it either through the link or over on LBZ.

As much as I like seeing bad ginormous corporate sites burn I am very glad you are not having that in the community, I nigh-on guarantee the negativity that would generate and the outrage would outshout any constructive post about building something. Destruction and watching the world burn is easier than building something nice in its place.

Exactly, it would change the tone of the community for the worst.

And while you are at it... put your left leg in.

Something related to simple/basic HTML and CSS code, like they used to be back then?

That's the banner sorted. I'll make some relevant HTML and screenshot it.

I try to avoid vindictive content myself but you may also consider showing the demise of that shi… corporate Web,

I'll avoid it as one of the manifestos mentions that we should be being kinder and look out for each other. So my aim is to not watch the Big Web burn (we have lots of communities for that) but all the positive things we can do to make the Web better.

BTW, I also promoted your new community to our members as I think they might really be interested in what you want to do ;)

Great thanks, there's a lot of crossover with other communities, as we Fediversers are part of this Web Revival.

I've added your community to the sidebar. If you know of others that might fit, let me know.

Thanks for that but, as we are a link aggregator and everything revolves around the link, it is better to have the main URL as the original article and add the archive to the body of the text. That way, if others post the same link, Lemmy detects it and provides a link over to the other community (which also helps us spot when the same link is posted twice to the same community).

No. The death penalty is no deterrent and we've seen on numerous occasions how flawed the justice system is, so we can rarely be 100% sure we have the right person (unlike in this case which is unequivocal). I also hope that they can undergo some kind of rehabilitation, perhaps not to the point that they realise the horrific nature of their crimes and have to spend their years with that knowledge eating away at them.

Stan Reiz KC, mitigating, told the court Rudakubana had appeared to have been a "normal child" until he reached 13.

Mr Reiz said: "There is no psychiatric evidence before the court that could suggest that a mental disorder contributed to the defendant's actions.

"However, he did make a transition from a normal, well-disciplined child to someone who was capable of committing acts of such shocking and senseless violence."

The description of what happened is horrifying and I'd just like to know what happened to him that turned him into someone capable of that.

Depends where you are. It'll be dangerous around here - in previous storms there was a video of someone jogging along the promenade as the waves crashed. Looked fancy but the debris the next day included plenty of bricks and rocks, and an old car tyre, so they could easily have been brained.

I'm out and about in that mess tomorrow, so I'm going to need more than a stiff upper lip. Perhaps a pair of weighted trousers.

From the top level of this: An open letter to NLnet to pull funding from development of Loops

Conflict of interest

This open letter has been authored by contributors who wish to remain anonymous. The authors, as well as some of the undersigned, are friends and acquaintances of hazycora, and as such, we acknowledge any potential conflicts of interest stemming from our relationship.

I don't know either party but from the information made public it looks like dansup has acted like a dick and fallen out with hazycora and the drama has escalated hard.

From what I've observed dansup has been going full tilt to get Loops done because of the issues with TikTok and he is not great at delegating or really dealing with people. However, it would be a shame for such vital projects to have their funding cut but, equally, if I was in charge of those grants I'd be worried about dansup burning out and progress stalling. So it should be a requirement that all this is made open source as a priority, with a short to medium term goal being to have these projects run by a group of people to ensure the future and avoid similar issues going forward.

A rare red weather warning covering Northern Ireland and Scotland was issued on Thursday before what could be the strongest storm in generations.

The Met Office said the arrival of Storm Éowyn on Friday could bring gusts of up to 100mph and “flying debris resulting in a danger to life”.

The red warnings, an upgrade of existing amber warnings, covered all of Northern Ireland and parts of central and southern Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ayr and Peebles.

...

Northern Railways, which operates across northern England, advised passengers to “avoid travelling where possible” as it cancelled services before the storm. The company said it was expecting “severe disruption” and had cancelled services across the network including trains across the Pennines, down the Cumbrian coast and between Carlisle and Newcastle.

LNER said there would be no services north of Newcastle in either direction from 11am on Friday. Avanti West Coast advised passengers not to travel north of Preston or on its North Wales route.

Blimey, we're in for a rough one.

Are those still maintained?

I don't know. They could do with an update but are still decent enough guides for our purposes.

If you are interested in a project, it should be possible to create a page on the Join Fediverse wiki with a list of equivalents that would then be much easier to keep up to date. Probably link it in via "further reading" here:

If anyone is looking for the replacement to a specific sub see these directories:

• redditmigration.com
• sub.rehab
• Unofficial Subreddit Migration List

The landlord of my local will buy spirits from the supermarket when they are on offer as it is cheaper than getting it wholesale.

That's a weird punishment.

Yes, it's long been known that Prevent has been hoovering up a lot of young ND or mentally ill boys and, as an expert said on Radio 4 today, the current system is hammering round pegs through square holes and needs changing to system that assesses the level of threat someone presents. A lot of those in the system need help, not demonising.

I was wondering how things were going there.

Cool, I was trying to figure out if there was a way to do that.

Good to see.

In theory, a lot of forum software could bolt ActivityPub on. It should be an interesting time now we have proof of concept.

There is a W3C's SWCG ActivityPub based Forums and Threaded Discussions Task Force. The NodeBB forum for it.

Like Facebook event and marketplace replacements on the fediverse. Or just a Facebook alternative that isn’t Frendica. Or maybe a commercial fork of Frendica.

What? Why? How? What?

There's no reason monetisation can't be built into the Fediverse as it is. Ghost is looking like a good replacement for Substack for those that want to monetise their blog/newsletter. Flohmarkt is a Fediverse classified ads service. I don't think it'll be long before we see an Fediverse Patreon or eBay, for example, I just suspect the early Fediverse adopters have been so anti-capitalist that they have either rejected such things or overlooked them entirely. However, it'll be key for getting content creators to move over to the Fediverse as they'll want to keep their income stream.

In the meantime, more attention on the Fediverse should mean grant money flows in and crowd funding takes off.
