And that is why Waze has to go away. It’s giving people info on cops, so that’s becoming politically inconvenient for Google.

So you advocate your own posting taking its natural course and dying off? I can think of a way you can hurry up this process.

Yeah I was worried this could become a problem, because I imagine a lot of chuds are turned off of lemmy because of the tankie devs. Which makes sense. But I don’t think they should be welcome here, either. I’m trying to get away from that authoritarian shit, not get closer to the even worse kind of authoritarian shit.

No one needs to see this, you are throwing out extremely basic arguments that all of us encounter every day in this regressive society. You aren’t speaking truth to power, you’re just being part of the power right now. You aren’t making yourself look good and you aren’t making the world a better, freer, more nuanced, or happier place.

People: Hey, stop being a jackass.

Conservatives: OMG, yoU WANT TO CREATE A FAR LeFTIST ECHO CHAMBER

Every fucking time.

I hear you. The best I can do is tell myself that hopefully the Coast Guard personnel and other mariners got some practice/training which will be useful in emergencies in the future. And it’s still right to try and save someone, even if they put themselves in the dangerous situation.

Wow, I love slsk and have been using it since literally about 2004 (it has absolutely defined my taste in music), but I didn’t know there were any options for clients except for the main one. This is great!

If you’re reading this and you’ve never checked out slsk, consider this your invitation. I have spent hours trying to “stump” it by searching for increasingly-obscure music. Someone always has it on slsk.

EDIT: HOLY JESUS HALLELUJAH IT HAS DARK MODE

Those sources… are… interesting…

What’s a good seedbox provider these days? I had one over ten years ago, but I don’t even remember what that company was called.

Yeah, after this I think it’s just Norway and Japan. For some reason I figured Iceland would be the last holdout, but I was wrong.

I’ve seen some people on Mastodon talking about how news organizations could just set up their own Mastodon instances, and only give accounts to their employed journalists. That way they could all repost each other’s stuff but no one would have to put up with Twitter’s policies. I think that’s a pretty cool use case for the technology, and similar to what you’re describing here.

I used to work at a liquor store and we had one regular customer who paid with a bitcoin card. This was around 2015 or so. It was funny because he said it was because of “anonymity” but everyone knew him as “the guy who pays with bitcoin.”

No, and I also seriously question people’s obsession with gold.

Hey. Biplanes are actually much more relevant in today’s world than crypto. They aren’t common, but there are still new biplanes made because they are a valid solution for certain problems. Unlike blockchain.

When 3rd party apps are blocked on July 1st, Reddit is no longer going to support accessibility features that blind mods and users need. Reddit’s owners don’t seem to have considered how much work it’s going to be to provide said features “in-house.”

OOF. Fuck it, take an upvote. 🤣

I dunno man, it’s more-or-less correct and that’s not something I’ve come to expect from LLM’s.

I could live for years off of that. Holy craps

For real, as an American I’m super grateful.

there are very few people who would prioritize a replaceable battery over other features.

I gotta gently push back against this. You may not know them personally, but there are a LOT of people who have gone back to dumbphones over this. IMO, this is a large part of why dumbphone sales are catching up on smartphone sales for the first time in years. I even know some elderly folks who stopped using cell phones entirely when smartphones stopped having replaceable batteries (easier going back to having a landline when one is retired/not raising kids, of course).

There are very few people who buy the currently existing smartphones who would prioritize this feature, yes – because anyone who does prioritize this feature has been excluded from the entire smartphone market for several years now.

Yeah, WikiTribune was originally a for-profit project unrelated to Wikipedia from a few years back. IIRC the idea was basically to avoid the issues with fake news by having users hire journalists directly… through the medium of the WikiTribune leadership… which is basically what Newspapers were. Not a bad idea I suppose, but it definitely flopped. Now I guess they’re reusing the name for a seemingly unrelated microblogging service. Weird.
