I reported that already: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/956
Dunno… click-baity title obviously and the argument doesn’t really hold up as it makes a up a quite peculiar definition of “Fediverse” and then pronounces that dead, while promoting what I think most people consider to be the meaning of “Fediverse” under a different term.
Also would be better without the personal vendetta against Mastodon and Gargron.
All of these use the great FTEQW Quake engine btw.
I get his frustration about large companies using core-js and not contributing back, but he is at least partially sleeping in a bed of his own making by licensing core-js as MIT.
The founding idea of Free-Software was always that everyone contributes a little and by using a each others work you can grow a foundation that is larger than its individual parts. For that to work you should use a copyleft license like the AGPL and treat any library you develop not as an end in itself, but rather as a tool for something else (and this something else might or might not be what you make a living with).
Ups, sorry I didn’t notice as my Firefox addon just circumvented that pay-wall automatically. I guess there is a version on the internet archive.
All brace for the next phase of enshittification shortly after.
Have you tried Plasma-Mobile? https://plasma-mobile.org
Also regular Gnome works better with touchscreens than desktop KDE. And there is the Phosh spinn of it, but I am not sure if there is an easy way to install that on a x86 PC.
Edit: ah and there is Maui Shell https://github.com/Nitrux/maui-shell
Sadly most Android tablets are too locked down to allow this.
There are however two upcomming Linux tablets that look very promising: the FydeTab Duo and the PineTab2. Not really budget options though I guess.
I don’t know if there ever was a similar initiative with xmpp?
Google used to run a standard compliant XMPP server with easily 10-100 times as many users as matrix.org, and that turned out to be really bad for the open XMPP federation after they decided to break federation for business reasons. The same is likely if not inevitable with Element since they are a for-profit company with lots of Venture Capital investment.
There is a room search engine for XMPP: https://search.jabber.network/
But to be honest, XMPP (contrary to Matrix) doesn’t try very hard to replace IRC. Its much more used for 1:1 and private encrypted group-chats similar to WhatsApp/Signal etc. And joining IRC channels is so seamless from XMPP that the IRC users don’t even notice (also contrary to Matrix).
You might want to give the updated Gajim another try then. The GUI was significantly improved not long ago: https://gajim.org/screenshots/
I think this is something similar https://stablehorde.net/
Speculating here, but it sounds like the offending post got reported by some overzealous fedizen, but then the admin had a short look at the post timeline of this person and decided it was neither worth keeping the account nor worth discussing with them. Stuff like that happens sometimes 🤷♂️
And this kind of complaining in a blog post kinda proves the admin might have been correct in their quick assessment.
Move your account to an instance that blocks lemmygrad.ml
There are plenty of instances that do that due to the low quality posts and comments from lemmygrad.
What does “aged” mean in the context of immune system? Does an immune system have an age that is independent of the age of the rest of the body? That would be the first time I’ve heard about this.
That is indeed a thing, although I agree that “age” is maybe not the best term for it. This only somewhat related article explains well that is meant by that.
These sanctions are working as planned: https://www.wsj.com/articles/russian-oil-is-still-flowing-and-that-is-what-the-west-wants-41cc3256
