lol. I'd take a browser that's 10x slower as long as it has no AI or crypto.

All of Marx's main concepts, surplus value, classes and class struggle, alienation, are just as relevant today as when they were written. Much like Newton, Marx built the solid foundation that scientific socialists stand on today.

I think so. It's top-tier adventure storytelling. The sequels are also great.

Correction, Dick Cheney was Bush's president.

As far as good storytelling, some of my favs are:

  • The count of monte cristo
  • The arabian nights
  • 100 years of solitude
  • The silmarillion
  • A confederacy of dunces
  • The three musketeers

I have a very long ranked list, but there's a few.

Extremely sad. Why couldn't people just ask for context in a polite way, instead of bringing over all those aggressive twitterisms, and assuming the poster was "doing it for the engagement".

What's A Piece Of Software You Could Never Do Without? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

A xiaomi pad 5 pro, with an external keyboard. I switched to coding remotely a few years ago, so its nice to have a portable device with like 12 hours of battery life.

Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

I code from an android tablet, by ssh'ing into a linux server running arch linux for development. I used vim+plugins for years, but now helix as it supports rust and typescript well.

The Obama administration dropped an average of 60 bombs every single day, on the middle east and north africa, during his presidency.

Has there been any reckoning or reflection on that atrocity, within the democratic party?

Its been a long time coming 🥳 .

Excerpt from the link:

Major Changes

Language Tags

Content can now be tagged to indicate the language it is written in. These tags can be used to filter content, so that you only see posts in languages which you actually understand. Instances and communities can also specify which languages are allowed, and prevent posting in other languages.

In the future this will also allow for integrated translation tools.

Comment trees

Lemmy has changed the way it stores comments, in order to be able to properly limit the comments shown to a maximum depth.

Included are proper comment links (/comment/id), where you can see its children, a count of its hidden children, and a context button to view its parents, or the post.

Featured posts

Admins and mods can now "feature" (this used to be called "sticky" ala reddit) posts to the top of either a community, or the top of the front page. This makes possible announcement and bulletin-type posts.

Special thanks to @makotech for adding this feature.

Federation

Lemmy users can now be followed. Just visit a user profile from another platform like Mastodon, and click the follow button, then you will receive new posts and comments in the timeline.

Votes are now federated as private. This prevents other platforms from showing who voted on a given post, and it also means that Lemmy now counts votes from Mastodon.

This release also improves compatibility with Pleroma. If you previously had trouble interacting between Pleroma and Lemmy, give it another try.

We've extracted the main federation logic into its own library, activitypub-federation-rust. It is open source and can be used by other projects to implement Activitypub federation, without having to reinvent the wheel. The library helps with handling HTTP signatures, sending and receiving activities, fetching remote objects and more.

Other changes

  • Admins can now purge content and pictures from the database.
  • Mods can distinguish a comment, "stickying" it to the top of a post. Useful for mod messages and announcements.
  • Number of new / unread comments are now shown for each post.
  • Lemmy now automatically embeds videos from Peertube, Youtube and other sites which provide an embed link via Opengraph attribute.
  • You can give your site "taglines", short markdown messages, which are shown at the top of your front page. Thanks to @makotech for adding this.
  • You can now report private messages.
  • Most settings have been moved from the config file into the database. This means they can be updated much easier, and apply immediately without a restart.
  • When setting up a new Lemmy instance, it doesn't create a default community anymore. Instead this needs to be done manually.
  • Admins can choose to receive emails for new registration applications.
  • An upgrade of diesel to v2.0, our rust -> postgres layer.

Lemmy upgrade tomorrow (or wednesday), and we'll have a few hours of downtime. (lemmy.ml)
 

We're getting ready to release a new version of Lemmy, which will require a database upgrade, so we'll have a few hours of downtime.

Lemmy translations signups (on weblate) are working again. (weblate.join-lemmy.org)
 

Apologies for all the translators that weren't able to sign up before (it was email issues), this should be fixed now.

This is the MessagEase layout for the MultilingO keyboard.

Unfortunately MessagEase development (which is the fastest android keyboard), died several years ago, and we're in dire need of a replacement.

Idea for a Lemmy project: Create a stackoverflow style front-end for lemmy. (heapoverflow.ml)
 

In the same way that Nutomic built a phpBB themed front end, it would be entirely possible to create a stack-overflow type one, as many of the same concepts translate over.
