it isn’t known which side is in the right

vs

If the defendent is obviously in the right

But the defendant still has to put the funds up in the first place? It's a huge gamble and most people don't even have the ante available.

Is there anywhere in the world that has a robust and comprehensive public funding for legal entanglements of all types?

According to https://fedidb.org/software/kbin there are a grand total of 29 active kbin servers. Of 61,489 users on all instances, 59,962 of these are on kbin.social. Monthly active users being 4,775/4,938

kbin.social, as you are aware, is owned and run by @earnest.

In other words I am not sure who you are addressing here. >99% of kbin users are on a single server which has little chance of switching to mbin.

Why don't you just go and enjoy the platform of your choice? This performative misery is so strange.

tell me why i shouldn't use plex as I'm always tempted by it whenever these threads come up and everyone who uses it is so happy.

But free/libre is so much more delicious.

But don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I have a hard time thinking how it would work. For example your comment posted at https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/5907612 posted at "Sunday, December 24th, 2023 at 8:40:09 AM GMT+00:00". If you back up and restore to a new account in 6 months, does your new account get to retroactively repost this comment to December 2023? What about top posts you make?

Individual emails make sense as lone documents but on social media the individual items are only comprehensible in context.

If you just want a record of your individual posts/comments without context you can point an RSS reader at the feed available on your home instance user page. (Lemmy users only; for some reason this feature not available to kbin.)

finally, a lemmy instance which tolerates the posting of memes

[–] density@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I always find screenshots from apps confusing. Also I don't use IG. What is the context of these text boxes? Who is "promoting" the posts? It sounds like an ad from the user who posted it, but the accompanying text says it is advertising Threads.

I notice that the image posted here and the one in the comments by @wolfshadowheart have the same content but the usernames are different. Are they mirror accounts?

[–] density@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I have actually seen people worrying about the computational burden of handling all the extra data this could produce. I seem to recall someone actually doing back of envelope math and concluding that federation with threads would be cost prohibitive for a lot of instances.

If that is true then the whole debate we are having is irrelevant because federation will basically not be possible for websites which are seemingly being operated without anything resembling a business plan.

My understanding is that corporations are constantly trying and sometimes succeeding at influencing w3c standards to go in a direction which is favorable to themselves. For example increasing the legitimacy of DRM and surveillance. Developers of non-profit software (eg mozilla) then have to choose whether to be out of compliance or support nefarious technologies. If they choose against supporting the standards, then all users notice is that the application "doesn't work" on certain websites.

I don't necessarily know if running away and hiding is along term solution to this though.

In the US context, the founding of public libraries were most famously and substantially supported by Carnegie. A man of "crime and robbery" if there ever was one. When you hear "philanthropist" think "tax evasion". Not to mention how he came into possession of all that loot in the first place.

I agree with the author's point broadly but it's not well made.

a lot of pups

I found there was too much cat stuff on threadiverse at first. I enjoy a cat in a box or a cat on a keyboard or "this is my life now" or even wearing a kitten as a hat here or there but the whole things was cats cats cats with arch linux memes mixed in.

a pup fucking a pumpkin

oh pups. lol.

 

If you are looking for assistance in trying to interact with pages found on instances other than the one on which you have an account, here is what I believe is available so far.

you can see the same information as a table here.

note: this information will certainly become out of date in the near future. I advise you to conduct a fresh search for up to date information

Update July 3, 2023: I fixed the links hopefully. While I was doing that, I included links to chrome store where developer provided them. But I didn't search the chrome store itself.

Lemmy Link

 

I was standing on the street today when a man and woman passed me. The man was heatedly explaining to the woman about the reddit strike. I overheard him say "It's the third largest subreddit...." and he was making hand gestures I could see as they walked past. (Which one is the third largest?)

I was half a mind to run after him and say "I want to talk to you about this! I understand!!" But I couldn't think of what would happen next, other than ruining their evening. They seemed to be on their way to go somewhere. Hopefully to talk about something other than reddit.

That's all. I usually never have IRL observations of reddit.

 

Recently I found this developer who has published dozens of small, useful extensions for firefox. Nothing groundbreaking that I know of but everything looks to have been made with care to efficiency and minimal permissions to do one thing well. Each has its own github repo where the developer responds to issues.
Many QOL improvements without having to install a large extension with additional functions you may not need.
I have nothing to do with this person but I was impressed so thought I would share.

About 1 hour after being created

 

5 and a half years ago EA held an AMA so disastrous that it was unreadable as downvotes pummelling the answering producers and directors to the ground. Back then I made an overview for r/Games.

Due to the high interest and high chance of being a shit show of similar or possibly greater proportion, here's an easily readable overview for the spez AMA.

I will edit as it goes on.
