You know, I thought I heard it did, but now I can’t find any sources so it may just be Winforms or something.

Sorry, I think I must have had a small stroke while writing that. I think I meant C++.

So it turns out that it’s just the “Recommended” section, and it’s actually the Microsoft flavor of React Native that spits out real Windows (I think C++) code, but still…yeah.

Yeah, I don’t love that they’re on a Microsoft service, but GitHub is not their worst product.

In your defense, Mozilla did have a read-only mirror on GitHub for a while. I assume it’s the same repo, they’ve just repurposed it.

I’m not the OP, but it’s probably easier to get (free) community contributions on Github than on any other spot.

Or it’s to make it easier to fork, in case Mozilla goes out of business.

Literally yes. The Pharisees of Jesus’ time were the conservative religious hardliners of Israel, having drifted significantly from their original theology because of political expediency, pushing their version of morality under the threat of harm; and Jesus represented a challenge to their power.

So more than just “would’ve,” they (well, their first century predecessors) did.

JD Vance does.

I don’t know about photoshopped. I would imagine that there’s a lot of heavy (and misguided) makeup going on, and I don’t think the lighting is doing her any favors, but she legitimately looks significantly different from her pre-surgery appearance.

It is definitely happening. The numbers are encouraging, and if this had happened ten years ago it’d be one thing. But by this point, we need more.

Look, sure, I’d love to get cheese and bread tips. But protests first.

Can we get just, like, a whole bunch of French citizens in here to teach us how to protest, en masse, at the drop of a hat?

(and also maybe teach us how to make…um…outdoor furniture?)

Trump said the 2016 election was rigged, and he won that one. He claimed that the 2024 election was rigged before it had even occurred. This is just the playbook. It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t have to in order to work.

I don’t think likes serve the same function as votes. The downvote, the ranking as a function of score and recency, and the surfacing and consensus-building that comes as a result are the main point of this sort of platform.

By contrast, the microblog “like” (at least on a platform without an algorithm, like Mastodon) doesn’t do anything other than express appreciation.

Threads are common in pretty much every form of social media now, from friend-aggregation sites like Facebook and Friendica to messaging services like Discord and Revolt. They’re hardly exclusive to a Reddit/Lemmy-type service. Mastodon even organizes posts into threads (though I think that it does so in a much more clumsy way).

(Edit: by “don’t they have votes?” do you mean polls? Because that’s a completely different function altogether than the Lemmy/Reddit vote.)

Reminds me of the old xkcd where a guy tells a bride on her wedding day that, extrapolating from that day’s events, within two months she’ll have four dozen husbands.

What about “Fedivotes” or “Votiverse?” Upvotes and downvotes are pretty key distinctives to this form of social network.

Sigh.

It’s unnecessary. It’s stupid. But at least it’s not actively harmful, I guess.

Edit: Nope, actually, it definitely is.

I think there’s a significant correlation with lead poisoning due to leaded gasoline, too.

Does that make it better or worse that he’s a rube instead of a grifter? I can’t figure that out, tbh. Probably one of those two, yeah.

To his (very, very faint) credit, he did do the right thing when it mattered: he certified the election, even when a mob had threatened his life previously.

I think, in contrast to a lot of other republicans in office today, Pence actually believes all the stupid stuff he says. The end result is mostly the same (regression, a rise in fascism, etc); but I think he somehow managed to come by it honestly.
