What about my "Gmail is here to stay" tshirt is making you think Gmail isnt here to stay?

Yeah, because it is. The actual munitions they theorise could be sent to Ukraine are highly unreliable cluster munitions that Ukraine is already condemning the use of because of their danger to civilians during rebuilding efforts thanks to their insanely high dud rate.

Yeah I get the point of the article but maybe it isn't a good thing that the president can send anyone a bunch of weapons without oversight

And there it is:

Forbes recommending Biden sends Ukraine a bunch of potentially faulty ammunition that are known to make rehabilitation of warzones insanely difficult because of the civilian risk posed by dud cluster munitions.

The same kind of munitions the west condemns being used by Russia against Ukraine for those above reasons.

Definitely think NVidia has got some ways to go on improving Wayland drivers. AMD has its share of issues but they're a lot less obtrusive than what you're describing

They must implement their own workaround/protocol for this. On KDE 5 it's still missing. Hopefully they have something cookin for KDE 6 but since it wouldnt be standards-compliant there's no guarantee

The US knew it was BS all along. Just like the 40 dead babies claim. Now comes the quiet "maybe we were too hasty" backtrack now that the damage has been done and the kids are dying at appropriate numbers for the ghouls in the whitehouse and their clients in the Knesset

how many active users do they really have if people using lemmy (and therefore spending less time on Reddit) are among the "top 75000" DAU?

Users have to maintain public blocklists to deal with poor moderation from BSky HQ. For the most part, it works, but if you get on the bad side of anyone running a list you're basically at the mercy of them not using their lists for personal vendettas. When that does happen, all it does is dilute the usefulness of said blocklists and in turn lets the bad actors back into the mix as people unsubscribe.

I guess it's an immature system and maybe people will create services to maintain lists with proper accountability, appeals, etc. but that's just trying to skirt around the main issue which is that Bluesky LLC is not interested in federating the backend service.

As for their "you can't interact with viral posts" claim, that's only a Mastodon problem - IMO they designed their feed system really shitty for a service trying to imitate Twitter. On Lemmy, I can easily see active posts across dozens of instances without having to subscribe to them, and the communities of those instances have a right to decide who does and doesn't federate. We've successfully sectioned off troublesome communities, without turning the entire network into a fragmented map of isolation.

I would like activitypub to better support instances that do nothing but host personal data without having to also technically be a full platform (ie. those tiny masto/lemmy instances for people who dont wanna make accounts on someone else's server). But for the regular user the current AP system is way better than what BSKY offers.

That being said, I like Bluesky and its community, I just dont think it deserves to be "fediverse".

So it's only a blockade when white people do it? gotcha.

Interesting, because they seemed fine with Israeli/allied consumer shipping up until the genocide. it's funny how that works

Good.

545 had a regression with VRR causing black screens apparently. 550 beta supposedly fixes it

my ONLY gripe with wayland rn is the lack of global hotkey support, which currently breaks Discord/other's "push to talk" feature unless you install a webserver to control your mic via your compositor's hotkey system and HTML requests 😭

I suppose push to talk can and should be owned by the desktop and not any particular app, but Id like an interim protocol until then

I sympathise with the dude dev but corporate loves corporate; I dont think the project is going to attract much funding if it's purely a 'libre' fork.

Likely a driver issue. A lot of complaints on the AMD side right now relate to VRR.

10 dollars a month to be told AMD is behind its competition based on vibes

facebook for people who dont think theyre racist (theyre just racist with extra steps)

Yeah most Christians in the countries that matter are more hateful of Arabs and muslims than they are hateful of repression against Christians

They straight up annihilated almost every last Christian from Gaza and it didn't stir but a mild condemnation from the Anglican church. I doubt they'd complain if Israel barred christian pilgrims from Jerusalem tomorrow
