Yeah I agree that response was uncalled-for.

Lemmy has moderators and admins which remove CSAM. Plebbit was intentionally built in such a way that no one can remove anything. Extensive discussion of this at the OP's original post https://lemmy.world/post/23704373. Ctrl-F for "censorship"

Something tells me the "I don't host CSAM I just host posts that embed/link to CSAM (from other hosts)" argument won't hold up in court.

https://beehaw.org/ doesn't federate with lemmy.world which cuts them off from most of Lemmy-space.

I love how she's just casually living with all these things she's made each of which could potentially turn into a multimillion dollar business.

All I want is to make API requests with whatever headers but no fucking Electron so the app loads before the heat death of the universe.. Please, please

Heavy nostalgia with this one

Human-readable names are a critical feature.

I had low expectations of this video but it turned out awesome. Give it a chance!

The fundamental flaw with microblogging is that people follow other people. Those people then spew a bunch of random posts on all sorts of topics. Very few people are consistently interesting, leading to a timeline / feed of random crap with a few nuggets of goodness scattered through it. This is unavoidable because of the person-follows-person architecture.

There are other pernicious effects that come from centering the individual. The narcissism, defensiveness, dunking are all enflamed, rewarded and promoted. Mastodon avoids some of this by not using a recommendation algorithm but the fundamental mistake of centering of the individual remains.

Also short-form content tends to be brainrot that destroys attention spans and reduces complex issues to bite-sized hand grenades to lob at The Other.

Combine hand grenades with narcissism and news/politics and the result is kinda predictable in hindsight.

No it is not. Threads has barely dipped their toes into the water - there are all kinds of limitations. I can't remember the details but it's something like "we can follow a threads user but they can't see any of our replies to their posts". It's barely functioning.

YouTube is usually the first thing I open on first boot of a new machine. That way I know if the sound is working, network is working and video drivers are ok all at once.

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay,
In fields where they lay
Keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep.
Noel Noel Noel Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!

Same mistakes happened in Iraq after the second Gulf War. Bush and co assumed building democracy would be easy and fell on their face.

They eventually say that, yeah. But only after first saying a bunch of other misleading stuff.

Correct.
