To be fair, money would still be going to Rowling. She is probably the most vocal advocate against trans rights and she has been cited in policies that endanger the lives of trans people. I think that is a much more reasonable boycott than being upset about pronouns

I just learned about kagi. It’s subscription-based but seems really nice

Is it just me or is act 3 performance somehow worse?

How can we call our system a democracy when one unelected man can hold so much power?

The burden of proof is on the poster to verify the story. I think it’s safe to say like 80% of stories on the internet are fake (what does ‘some missing parts’ even mean??)

I don’t doubt people have had similar experiences but greentexts are rarely true and this one sounds incoherent to me

You’ve gone back too far! I meant mid to late aughts (2005-2010)

It’s because a lot of people here are people who miss the earlier days of the internet and are trying to recreate that feeling. I’m not that old but it’s got me feeling nostalgic so I enjoy it

You’re right but people are mad because they think you’re defending Apple for some reason.

I agree with you but I’m just gonna say with basic regex (hell, even without regex) you can easily find bad words without the problem you mentioned above.

Word filters tend to suck in online games and stuff because they have to navigate players trying to avoid the filter, which I think could still be improved with a little effort

Good. Make room for a real dem

Considering that the right-wing memed Trump into office, I think it is only fitting that memes are what destroy them

Maybe it’s a hot take but if you are giving life-altering treatments, and your company goes under, you should open-source everything

lmao

I think it might be good to create specific protocols in the ActivityPub documentation for the various types of social media to ensure interoperability.

No hard rules, but a guideline for how to ensure you are maximizing compatibility, maybe.

This was a good read and it’s something I’ve wondered about. The fediverse is sorta built on this promise that everyone will be able to interact across any implementation of ActivityPub.

But that’s not really true. The different types of social media have wildly different implementations, where we have to rely on developers communicating and cooperating with other implementations for everything to work even a little bit

I’ve never felt that country TLDs were worth using and this has only cemented that opinion for me

Holy shit this is actually kind of a huge story

That’s not true. There are a few other free TLDs. I think five total?

It’s not jumping to conclusions; it’s actually pretty well-known. The devs and their instance are very open about being Marxist-Leninists.

I don’t see how machine learning is related to Lemmy in any way
