yeah, it was tone deaf at best, and an outright lie in reality lol

Sisyphus I’ll give you $5 to roll that rock back down right now

aaaaanyway, ladies and gentlemen- we got him.

Yeah this seems a DNS issue not isolated to Firefox, I just tried 3 different devices and was not able to reach feder8.me on any of them.

The most important job of all.

the arbitration terms are explicitly stated to be US only. unfortunately the US is not a country with a functioning legal system

well that’s no different than Discord already, so net zero change

running webapps in chrome or Electron containers simplifies a lot of development, i don’t like their resource requirements or dependency on Chromium, but I do understand needing to streamline development so devs can work on more important backend stuff.

so this Revolt project is open source, which is nice, but still seems to rely on centralized servers. Does it use P2P for voice+video+fileshare so that the original devs aren’t on the hook for insane bandwidth requirements? I can’t see anything about their networking systems in the FAQ or info pages.

I may consider getting my friends to switch sooner or later if it’s more P2P based. But I don’t really want something that runs ALL traffic through central servers, because the bandwidth costs will inevitably just lead to the same situation that Discord is now in.

ideally such changes to advertising and the ToS arbitration clause removing consumer rights will help give a lot of the open-source communities a gentle push to get off of discord. It’s become far too central to too many communities and is impossible to search for knowledge.

You were the chosen one! You were supposed to save lemmy, not destroy it!!!

nah, you at least admit your mistake, that is how we learn the right way. happens a lot in open source code. don’t be hard on yourself, just review the fixes and make sure you understand what went wrong. :)
you’re making useful contributions, that’s more than a lot of teens (and most adults) are doing these days.

Sure, but you really expect that option to stay available for very long after 90% of users turn it off and ruin it’s profitability?

TeamSpeak has always been better tbh. For actual gaming voice chat discord actually sucks, it’s low bitrate and very high latency. It’s benefit was just easy coordination in larger servers without the need to constantly self-host and self-manage your own server like TS.

Just don’t go doing something super boneheaded like trying to hard-code swear word filters or- oh wait the devs already did that (or tried to, anyway) and told users they were racist for not wanting an arbitrary filter because daddy knows best.

Not the pilots (or crews) fault that the shipping company puts so little effort into maintenance or quality standards that their shit literally stalls and dies in port

Lemmy naturally concentrates unconnected users with similar interests thanks to reddit-style communities. Mastodon follows the Twitter style where you have to find and follow individual users to get their microblog content, and its harder to isolate certain topics or interests except across the entire service via hashtags. Individual users on their own are very uninteresting and bland.
Lemmy has fewer users but they as a whole generate more active content than Mastodon does thanks to community specialization, since the Twitter style posts require some critical mass of users following to generate interesting discussion (something that basically never happens unless you’re already a celebrity)

Reminder that kushner was given over $2 billion dollars from Saudi Arabia (a competing, genocidal foreign power!) while he was acting as an advisor to President Trump with direct connection to the President. But you sure don’t see any investigations into that these days…

your distraction has no power here! i turned data off on my phone and forgot to turn it back on lol.

report is all done (has been done for 6 hours now) and I went home and got drunk. good end to the term. durrr

That is true.

It’s half done right now but it’s going faster now that I’m in the groove.

CURSE YOU, VILLAIN OF PRODUCTIVITY!!!

Dmanit! That was 3 seconds I could have spent working on the lab reports I’m procrastinating.

Wait fuck, but this comment just took even more time… GAH
