It doesn’t look half-bad but i would rather have roughly the same firefox interface on every OS than have it customized for gnome as it appears here.

Even when running an instance for yourself, you’re not really safe. The threat to your privacy goes from being a third party in control of your data to your own operational inexperience.

I tried to host my own personal Lemmy instance and ran into a lot of issues hosting it. On the one hand you want to be safe by restricting unnecessary access, but on the other hand you have no idea why federation doesn’t work, or the postfix-relay docker cannot send an email, or why you cannot ssh into your own host, so you want to just allow everything and just get it to work somehow. In the end, unless you are already an expert at this stuff, trying to host your personal instance safely is a tall task.

It’s also going to be very costly. Especially for an image sharing website like Pixelfed.

Maybe there is a market for self-service managed hosts like we have with Wordpress blogs.

Hi, I’m Dr. Mordecai Tutu on this glorious day.

You know, saying that everyone except caucasians are “people of color” itself reeks of inherent racism.

Racism is quite common in the world. It always has been. It’s just that in most of our history our out-groups were still local so racism didn’t manifest.

Right now we’re at a point in the human journey where we see people of different races quite often, but we don’t interact often enough that it is no longer relevant for anyone. It’s improving.

Finding international books is also much easier in the age of the Internet. Younger readers (the article talks about people under 35) might be savvier at researching and exploring books from different cultures.

That said, the sales of Tombs of Sand, which eventually won the Booker prize, had had a sales of just five hundred books before it was nominated. It had twenty-five thousand books sold in the nine months since. Maybe we are talking about a really small market and like the article suggested, awards embracing translations make the biggest difference.

In the Fediverse it isn’t possible to reserve your username. I could host a server and get something like favrion@lemmy.account so it’s unreasonable to expect that users keep the same username across instances. Reddit is more anonymous than Facebook. The Fediverse is more anonymous than Reddit.

It was not.

It used to be this social media site where you could write these notes that were short enough for blue birds to carry around to everyone.

Well, I’m here for the fanfic about British intelligence gathering devices.

There are very few examples of Communism put into practice at a large scale.

Memmy ftw!

Memmy ftw!

Love the slight downward curve of his mouth in the second panel.

It’s hard work but pays handsomely.

Well then so is a Mercedes. . . . . .

But you wouldn’t steal a car, would you?

Thank you!

Halp. I don’t understand how it went from step 2 to step 3.
