Omega mart is a “gag item” store in las vegas, all of the products there are like this

Lemmy is way better than Mastodon for content discovery, which is one of the biggest reasons I wish that lemmy supported “self-posts”, i.e. posting to your own timeline.

being able to cross-post “mastodon-like content” directly on lemmy would really help content discovery, make attributions simpler, and make lemmy the undisputed champion of the fediverse!

and everyone knows russia would never violate the geneva convention by using spys!

“critical but stable” is an oxymoron and explains precisely nothing

This search engine sucks!

once an open-source program gets enough attention it achieves “critical mass”, and proprietary software can never catch back up.

They probably see the inevitable and are jumping on the train before it leaves the station

I dont even bother setting up email service for my instances, maybe they dont either.

I’d dm an admin =/

a poop emoji if you dont pay at all

I have double the swap than physical memory in a swap partition. In not concerned about wearing it out, and I like having plenty of space for hibernation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Feel free to post in the “linux” community, for FOSS stuff, and I just made the “tech support” community for everything else.

A open-source privacy focused OS from google?

Cant wait for the proprietary modules!

instasub!
This guy needs a peertube instance…

exactly, they spent time and money doing this instead of investing in infrastructure 🤦‍♂️

Im assuming the same is true for google

yeah, Im getting 500s from pictrs. the devs probably need to restart the service or perform some other maintenance

Yup

PSA: blocking users prevents you from moderating content from those users. You would also have to ban them from any sub you moderate to mitigate this issue

The whole world is built on open source projects that haven’t been touched in years!

They must be on the verge of bankruptcy to be considering this =/

Because China cares about its sovereignty.

Yup, so much so that it doesn’t allow deliberation, which makes it a fascist dictatorship and not a democracy. The US’s undeniable love for wasting money is sort of irrelevant to the question of democracy in china. Perhaps you can provide an example of deliberation in china?

China has given Taiwan autonomy, and allowed it to have its own government and military.

If they’re givin autonomy, why does china insist on controlling who they talk to? That doesn’t sound like autonomy to me!

Every government puts limits on dissent.

And China sets that bar at winnie the pooh lol

China is saying the people of taiwan are not allowed to deliberate foreign policy at all…

Just because western governments mistreat protesters doesn’t mean executing dissenters is part of democracy.

Today the people of Taiwan are meeting with representatives from the US government. Chinas response is threatening nuclear war. Perhaps you can explain how deliberation is a part of this process?

The government in China demonstrably functions in this way

no, when there are protests in china they roll out the tanks and kill people until the protests stop. deliberation in the democratic sense doesnt involve people dying.

a country that consistently works in the interest of its people is a democracy

no, thats socialism not democracy lol.

Heres the wiki definiton for democracy:

Democracy is a form of government in which the people have the authority to deliberate and decide legislation.

Heres the wiki definition for fascism:

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the good of the nation, and strong regimentation of society and the economy that rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

The whole “forcible suppression of opposition” is kind of an important element which is clearly present in china, where there is no deliberation allowed.

Imagine thinking it’s a democracy

The US is really trading for one of their spies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Whelan_(security_director)

fascism is the best democracy

Men only want one thing and its fucking expensive

don’t we all…

Russia invading Ukraine is totally chill and cool, but god forbid a civilian leader meets with the Taiwanese people, that would be an act of war!

They’ll install SAM sites on man-made islands all around Taiwan, then claim a civilian leader going to talk to the people is an act of war ಠ_ಠ

IIRC reddit has an option for “open in new tab”

I went to UCSB for five years and learned almost everything on Khanacademy.org =\

I can also pretty much guarantee there was a transfer of money involved

my work is really meant to be an open narrative framework.

The main difference between Linux and BSD is that linux is copyleft and BSD is not. Apple copied BSD and contributed basically nothing back to BSD or the FOSS community, whereas Linux is being contributed to by the larget corps in the world (including apple) and has a massive community behind it.

yeah, but, I need 3 accounts across 3 websites to participate in the fediverse. those features would make lemmy the one-stop-shop.

I completely agree, but I think video hosting would be great as an optional addon
