When the ICC next probes war crimes claims against the chief sexual misconduct prosecutor:

I wrote them a follow-up thanking them and giving them some tips on buying a bike rack – the kinds, the pros and cons, and what use cases they’re best-suited for.

I definitely avoided Lemmy the first go-round with the API fuckery because it seemed from the outside like basically just a tankie protest Reddit in a similar way to how Voat was just a neo-Nazi protest Reddit. To the Lemmy devs’ absolute credit, they don’t push new users toward any of those, though.

I thought one day after having had a Mastodon for some time that I might not have given Lemmy a fair shake, so I went back and ended up finding that most instances are basically normal Reddit fare but honestly less shitty than Reddit proper (there’s a trade-off that posts are less frequent and that small, niche communities can attract unwanted attention by having their posts almost immediately show up in ‘all’).

Yeah, I phrased that poorly; I should’ve said “will be brushed off”. The person who responded CC’d multiple people, so I can tell they weren’t just placating.

Lost in New Vegas.

Anti-gay Japanese politicians right now:

Decentralization actually can be really powerful to give you a backup even if you prefer Signal; Signal’s servers very infrequently go down, but when they do, you entirely lose that channel for an unpredictable amount of time.

Not joining the rooms Element suggests on its own client? Element will show you a list of suggested, popular rooms to join, and a fuckton of these are overrun by spammers and worse. If Matrix has basically zero ability to curate these rooms outside of “here’s what’s got the most members”, then it absolutely should not in any capacity be recommending them, let alone as a way to get started for new users. It’s fucking ridiculous, and before you say “Well why should they be expected to curate the rooms they suggest?”, imagine the fucking disaster Discord would have on its hands if it started recommending servers, and several of its top 100 claimed to be related to popular FOSS applications but were actually completely unmoderated and filled with CSAM and Bitcoin scams.

Soooo… I don’t think this bot should be used in general, but an objective improvement would be to only have it list a source at most one time per comment.

Russia today is far-right by about every conceivable metric, so it makes sense.

Tankies don’t actually care deep down about ideas like anti-imperialism or progressivism; they want control. That, or they’re brainwashed enough to jump through layers upon layers of doublethink to reach the conclusion that an oligarchical, bigoted, and repressive oil state constantly and brutally invading its peaceful, democratic neighbors is secretly anti-imperialist and progressive but that this somehow gets tainted through the lens of muh westoid propaganda.

Ancoms fucking hate Russia. Democratic socialists fucking hate Russia. Everyone in their right mind fucking hates Russia.

I know it’s easier if you try to classify things in terms of what you already understand, but you really shouldn’t try to shoehorn the political factions of other countries into Republicans vs Democrats. It’s really just going to impair your ability to actually understand what’s going on.

The problem isn’t the vegetation; it’s the lack of outlets to the other side of the road amid the vegetation. From the perspective shown here, it’s a solid 40-ish meters until the next entrance to the sidewalk.

Definitely agreed. Strictly better than cars, but there has to be something we’re missing here, else this is a huuuge pain in the ass for literally no reason.

Tryna get my rice and nori

Ghidra is written in Java which is cross-platform.

Assigned spider at bite.

100% agreed. You’re always welcome over at !vegan@lemmy.world if you’re not already there. I imagine some of the 18:1 upvoters so far statistically haven’t realized – owing to deeply rooted doublethink – that I’m also talking about something they directly pay for on a subdaily basis.

Good. Animal abuse in any form can’t be part of a decent society.
