Wait, Signal dev forced f-droid admins not to upload Molly to its official repo? How?

Really? Mine was banned within 15 min or so. I wasn't very lucky.

I'm using Invidious on desktop and Revanced on my android. No ads so far...

Been trying to contact some of my old college mates after years. It's difficult. Some have changed their contact info or even scraped their social media. Totally understandable.

I managed to talk to one person from our old group. He's been fine, he says. We're meeting for food and drink next week. Let's see how it goes.

It means many people are using lemmy.world instance to view your post instead of lemmy.zip or feddit.ro.

Kojima gone, Konami bad, usual rant - I'm glad for David reprising his role once again, if anything.

That being said, Snake's saga is long over. Shouldn't they try testing new waters with a continuation of Metal Gear Rising as well?

For the whole continent? I thought they would try that starting with their own (proposed) regional block, the Eastern African Federation.

You think I don't?

I wasn't pretending racism just 'went away', but I had met so many bystanders (pretending racism wasn't that big of a problem because they didn't get to experience first hand) arguing it would eventually go away with the dinosaurs, until Charlottesville happened right in front of their eyes. That made even bystanders realize how serious it was.

"Tangentially familiar"? What is this? Reddit?

Charlottesville was the wake up call for many. Never I expected nazis openly marching on US soil, chanting slogans straight from WW2... nearly a century after WW2.

It also must suck for the locals to have their town's name being forever associated to those scums.

Man, a lot of what you said resonates with me even if I'm still sticking with this fediverse thing. It's like the transition from the hopeful vision of the internet from the 90s to the cluttered mess we got around late 2000s and so on.

Lemmy and fediverse can grow in size and popularity, but so does the potential for harmful accusations from outsiders, using instances embracing extremist views as source. As long as Lemmy has members holding onto that rose-tinted Freedom Max (TM) view, it can and will be an issue.

I would love to try that, but the biggest issues are: safety and hygiene. Having a good parking spot can be a challenge already in the US/Canada where parking lots are everywhere and urban infrastructures were designed around cars. You can crash into a trusted someone's backyard, but is that actually a van life then?

And hygiene. Not even getting into pandemics, you need to be really disciplined not to waste water and be close to somewhere you can actually shower without worry. Can't rely on sponge baths forever.

Waste disposal is another issue. For van-lifers its simply discarding the nasty bag, but for garbage disposal? Not to mention the homeless opening up garbage bags to rummage through.

Iraqis need, like any other people, basic infrastructure like to make their society work. Propaganda or not, a school is a school. Children and adults getting educated and having chances of getting better jobs, instead of falling into traps like the so called Islamic State that brought only death, rape and suffering.

Now if the Iraqis themselves want to argue if they prefer watching their schoolchildren singing in English or Mandarin, that should ultimately be the Iraqis decision, not ours.

I suppose the blogs (with activity support like WordPress) could be used for this meanwhile?

Depends on what you mean by evolution.

Humans have always adapted to their environments and some properties become inherited though genetics or culture. Enough difference in genes could mean alien anthropologists in far future separating future humans aside from current day homo sapiens, but that's expected.

Evolution doesn't imply "getting better or superior" like popular culture. If a disaster struck earth and we were forced to live underground, our eyes and sense of vision will eventually cease to be as relevant as other senses. People in our days might call it 'devolution', but is it? It simply means they adapted to their environment.

Looks interesting. The first glance it looks like "Yet another company trying to make Email what it isn't", which means breaking all compatibility with existing mechanisms (e.g. IMAP) at cost of getting locked-in into their own ecosystem (unless you pay premium and enable IMAP back like Proton does).

This is why while I want companies like Proton and Tutanota succeed, I don't use their email products for business purposes.

I messed up a server config and was terrified I had to spend an extra hour for travel. I can't imagine the pressure those NASA engineers have.

Yeah, tons of helpful tips on actual natives chiming in, just gone. It's a shame.

It should be perfectly doable. The only difference is that the server in on the local network (e.g. 192.168.1.101) instead of localhost (127.0.0.1). You might need to configure your OS firewall to let traffic through.
