I might take a look at the API and see what endpoints are used to list and add to the blocklist. It may be a fairly simple tool to put together

Blocking the low quality content communities feels like an endless battle. I have been thinking for a while we need a centralised repository of links to block - similar to ad blocker lists.

Not to forget this is Lemmy which has a development leadership so left leaning that the CIA are likely already working on regime destabilisation

Or on znls. It's ridiculous

Most of the Linux communities are the same.

often the content isn't even related to Linux it's just tirades of anger against corporations. Doesn't even have to be Microsoft, any commercial that dares make any move in the Linux space - Canonical, red hat, oracle get derided too.

I've been really impressed by pcloud too. I opted for the lifetime subscription through a black Friday deal - for triple replicated redundancy it's an absolute steal.

It's a pre requisite that presidential candidates must be one cold winter away from death

While it's not a full replacement the raw materials making up the road surface can be reduced. Here's an example where books were recycled into the road surface - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/3330245.stm

I thought this was quite an insightful graphic until I realised the terms backend and frontend were borrowed from the terms back of house and front of house.

We really need a separate community for Microsoft news.

Adding "btw, does anyone of you know a good alternative for PowerPoint?" does not make this a Linux topic...

Was that ever a thing? The original Gmail design was pretty terrible. Then when they overhauled the design, and unified it with other Google product designs there was uproar. People rarely seem satisfied with UI design

Surely the inverse is also true then? People change, leadership changes, goals change so why assume the Microsoft of today is as bad as its past self?

I can agree with the goal but sadly the corporations have already got their claws deep in the tech stack.

Facebook control React. Google has its hands around Chromium, Android, Go, Angular and I'm sure dozens of others. Then of course Microsoft now own npm, GitHub etc. You're making your life very difficult if you entirely avoid corporate entities.

If we don't give corporations credit when they do run projects well then there's no incentive for them to not go full on capitalist greed and destroy them.

While I'm keen for this story to stay in people's minds I can't help but feel this is an entirely empty article. The content and the headline can all be summarised with: "we don't know".

Everything is temporary except for people's opinion on Microsoft.

The company is spending a ton on supporting developers, tools, and open source projects but every time they get mentioned people just hark tired lines of past ill deeds.

The push for increased piracy is well-intended but for rightsholders it represents a major drawback too;

I assume they meant to write privacy there because I can't imagine enhanced piracy was intended

I can't be the only one who misread the comma and thought the gynecologist was abusing hundreds of dead women?

That's an interesting thought but I'm not sure I agree. Should runners use bike lanes? I'd say it's more to do with the danger each transport poses.

A runner is very capable of avoiding people walking, and even if they were to collide the impact is minimal.

A cyclist is much less capable of dodging a pedestrian, hence why they don't belong on a pavement. Same would apply to scooters.

Cars and large goods vehicles are a threat to cyclists due to the speed disparity.
