Not for someone who doesn't consider democracy to be a good thing. So one might be objectively anti-democratic but that's not objectively bad. It's bad in my and your opinion, but maybe not for the parent. So uhm, get out and vote like democracy depends on it. 🥲
Can't someone talk ActivityPub directly and do this? If the instance is responsible to authenticate the users, the instance can just directly talk ActivityPub to the rest of the network and tell it users and votes on the fly, without even Lemmy running there.
More like a side effect of sending data to third parties. Whether it's email or messages, you can't control what happens with that data on the other end unless you control both ends. But then you're talking to yourself.
Err, up/down voting is just a quick way to agree or disagree. If one is voting because they feel they can't stand behind their opinion if they expanded it in text... I don't know what to tell ya. Making a burner account should suffice for both if necessary.
Our network is all on Signal and Signal has been good to us. Matrix may become the way of the future but for now Signal is a good place to be for this lot.
This only ever worked on Android so while helpful, it wasn't a panacea by any means as it didn't actually reach most people. Last time I had some numbers, the downloads across the App Store and Play Store were very similar so it probably ever reached about half the users. That's if we assume everyone on Android used it, which wasn't the case. 🤷
Curved screens were a nice marketing wank to sell a few newer models but there are few advantages to them and some significant disadvantages. I'm sure most people still buy the marketing though since I have to point out the issues for them to people to notice them. 😁
Why shouldn't they do "r/Android V2" posts? Is android@lemmy.world "The Android community"? Are we going to put a non-compete rule in writing or spirit for this community? How tone-deaf would this be in the current Reddit upheaval context? The Fediverse is literally about anti-monopilization. !android@lemmy.world just so happens to be one community named "Android" among others on other instances. It also happens to be on the largest instance for now. But a successful, large community doesn't have to be on the largest instance. That's not how federation works. Ultimately all of us users check the number of user subs before we subscribe or we just sub to all. Being the first to register this community on this instance isn't what's gonna determine that. Whichever "The Android community" becomes on Lemmy, it requires moderation work and likely that will determine the final result. If the /r/Android mods want to tell us where the new version of it is, they can do that in a lot more channels than "!android@lemmy.world”, like the various tech or Reddit related communities across the instances. Someone posting this here shouldn't trigger any special feelings in my opinion as it's no different or significantly more influential. The battle for creating a Reddit alternative is much bigger one than who's gonna claim they own this or that piece of land. So I'd welcome every free labor team (mod teams) from Reddit to Lemmy and help them get started even if it means that I have to cede some space. We supported these folks during the blackouts, why should we stop doing so when they decided to migrate? Isn't that the logical continuation of the same events?
As a Pixel 6 Pro user, I'll probably be picking up an 8 Pro on the account of its flat screen. If Tensor G3 is made using a smaller manufacturing process, that'll be a bonus. Some 50-100mAh up or down on a 5Ah battery is meaningless and more about the shape of the device than anything else.
@SteelBeard@lemmy.world , you should add a link to the announcement which explains why Beehaw defederated since this looks to be the top question many are asking.
Is the current SystemD rant derived from years ago (while they’ve improved a lot)?
No it's almost always been derived from people's behinds.
Should Linux community rant about bigger problems such as Wayland related things not ready for current needs of normies?
Yes.
Systemd is spectacular in many ways. Every modern OS has a process management system that can handle dependencies, schedule, manage restarts via policy and a lot more. Systemd is pretty sophisticated on that front. I've been able to get it to manage countless services in many environments with great success and few lines of code.
Or Ubuntu if you need long term support, private or corporate, for example. Free 10-year support for up to 5 machines is no joke in my book. They no longer send search results to Amazon. 🥲 If they start again, you can always migrate back to Debian without huge difficulty.
TekSavvy is the last remaining large internet wholesale provider, as others have been snapped up by bigger rivals in what independent ISPs describe as a challenging regulatory environment.
Roughly half a dozen independent ISPs have been sold since February of 2022. According to BMO Capital Markets analyst Tim Casey, BCE Inc. paid roughly $139-million for Ebox, an internet, telephone and television service provider based in Longueuil, Que., and approximately $335-million for Ottawa-based Distributel last year.
Telus, meanwhile, acquired Altima Telecom and Start.ca for undisclosed amounts, while Quebecor Inc. snapped up VMedia, an independent internet and television provider serving customers primarily in Toronto, in July of 2022. The price of the VMedia acquisition was also not disclosed.
Montreal-based Cogeco Inc., meanwhile, paid $100-million for Oxio, a Montreal-based provider with 48,000 internet subscribers, Mr. Casey wrote in a research note..

Sent an email to my MP. This is a competition issue similar to the Shaw sale to Rogers and the feds should get involved. You should do the same.

It never was "bowl cut."
