I didn’t read Solrize’s comment as saying “There shouldn’t be paywalls,” just asking the very legitimate question as to how they will interact with federation.

Interestingly, 404 just solved something kinda related: they developed a way for subscribers to get a custom RSS feed address, so they can access paywalled articles directly in their RSS reader. TMK, they are the first publication to do this. I imagine they would do something similar for federation. (I believe that if any of the custom RSS feeds show huge traffic numbers, 404 shuts it down, but I’m not sure)

There’s a push to get OpenReads to work with BookWyrm

It’s not real but I don’t understand who benefits from faking this

Thank you for this great tool!

Is there a way I could use this to find a Lemmy instance that let’s me interact with desired instances? For example:

• I want to participate in Instance A, B, and C.
• A has defederated from B and C
• can I generate a list of instances that let’s me interact with A, B, and C? Then I’ll move my account there.

Thank you!

If you’re talking news media, much of their worst behavior is rooted in the ad-driven business model. Subscriptions would actually help make things better. Not sure if there’s a way to leverage the fediverse for a subscription play, though

I can install any app I want on my Mac. How is this different?

Gonna need to know more. What method do you use to lock your phone? Is it rooted?

Also: did they return the phone to you, or to your friend? Could it be your friend who went through these apps?

Wow, that’s crazy! Hey, would you mind linking to a comment where someone says “Gas the Jews?” I can’t seem to find one.

Also, if you have time, can you link to an explainer for “trans ideology?” Is that like Caitlin Jenner (pro-Trump, anti-speed limit)? Or something else?

Hey just out of curiosity, can you give us one of these “wrong opinions”?

Thank you. As someone who is very interested in Linux, and someone who has proselytized my tech choices in the past (“Everyone should use Signal”), one of my big fears about switching to Linux is that I’ll never shut up about it, and I’ll bore my friends.

Thank you for showing me that there is another way

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, because you’re making a ton of sense. It’s not about Tim Pool, who is a dumb incel POS. It’s about the HUGE dangers of giving a company unilateral power to ban someone based solely on speech.

What if Bandcamp’s new owners are more like Facebook? They could ban work that promotes women’s rights and abortion access, which is exactly what Facebook has done.

What if Bandcamp’s new owners (or the owners after them) are more like Twitter? They could ban antifascist activists or journalists.

It truly doesn’t matter how you feel about one person. It matters how you feel about principles.

Huh? Where?

This article has so few details. How do we think they’re pulling this off? Phones? A Flipper maybe? And then what?

I hope you’re not buying drugs from someone then

Jerboa is fine

Yes, because he taught himself.

“At some point, I looked at the BASIC book and decided I would learn that.” He taught himself straight from the book, which he recalls was “pretty straightforward.”

Not sure why “old+judge” automatically equals “tech illiterate.” The judge in another high-profile Google case taught himself to code

Alternately, any USB device can become a kill switch with this Python script:
