Trump and his handlers just before the debate:

Handler: Mr President… (he insists on being called that by his people) - before you go out there I want you to promise again that you won’t bring up the thing about people eating cats and dogs…
Trump: yeah, fine
Handler: Remember how we talked about this? And how you promised that you won’t bring it up no matter what happens?
Trump: Yeah, fine, whatever.

I have little sympathy for people like the author who knowing all this continue to give content to that site. And I don’t care about their excuses.
If you don’t like that the new owner has turned your favorite pub into a nazi bar then maybe you should stop spending your money there.

Just don’t end up as the this guy
or Futurama’s version of it

If you have an email workflow that you like then something like rss2email might be an option. You simply feed your incoming rss into your email. You’ll want to auto-tag (or otherwise organize) these emails to keep them separate from regular emails. Then you use your usual email tools to organize them further.

I’ve been using such a setup for the past 15 years.

System Shock (2023) at a new low at $17.99.

If I am honest and base it on my actual play patterns it has to be The Binding of Isaac and Slay the Spire. Or maybe Ascension (digital version of the physical deckbuilder) especially if there is ever more content for it.

How visible is this to the average user? Just wondering because I have yet to see any spam at all in my Mastodon feeds. Big thanks to the admins for being on top of it!

If you care about privacy, which I understand, you probably want to leave quickly.

Just because you care about privacy it doesn’t mean that you have to stay indoors all the time. You can still hang around on the town square you just have to be conscious about what you do where.

A big part of caring about privacy is understanding how the platforms you use work and using them accordingly. With proprietary platforms this is often opaque and the rules can change. Open platforms are transparent and you can actually understand them - if you make the effort.

gotosocial might we worth checking out. It provides Mastodon-compatible APIs (so you can run Mastodon clients and UIs against it) but it’s less resource hungry and easier to deploy (in my experience). The caveat is that it’s less mature.

Subscribe to a post: just mention the bot in the comments.

Not a huge fan of the noise this adds to the threads. Would be nice if Lemmy frontends could provide better ways to interact with bots. For example custom buttons that would PM the bot with the appropriate message to trigger the action.

Imagine the person (or more likely a whole group) who has spent weeks designing and iterating over those arrows.

Interesting that they went with the possessed teletubby look.

After typing in a bunch of programs on my 1KB Sinclair ZX-81 I wanted to understand how they worked and wanted to make some of my own.

Small bug: changing the sort-order loses the filter settings.

But looks great overall! I’ve already rediscovered some of my older favorites and looking forward to finding new stuff too.

Also, any chance of making the filtered/sorted list downloadable as a CSV? In some cases this would be more convenient than paging through the web UI.

Gentoo is great if you know how you want things to work and know Linux well enough to make it happen. Gentoo gives you flexibility, transparency and great tooling to help you get there.

I am sorry but this is just completely wrong. Look at the live feed of mastodon.social which will give you an actual sampling of what people talk about and tell me how many Linux related comments do you see among the first 100 or so. I got 2 on my first try and 0 on the second.

I happen to be a long time Linux user but I don’t seek out Linux stuff on Mastodon. My feed is mostly boardgame related stuff which is what I am here for and what I follow. There is no algorithm so what you get entirely depends on what you follow.

The App Store and Android Market launches were pretty damn close. The iOS app-store launched July 2008 and the first Android consumer device (G1) shipped September 2008 and it had the market from day 1.

Worth noting that iOS users had to wait a full year for the app store after the iPhone 1 launch because Jobs didn’t want it at first. I had both devices fairly early on and on the iPhone side we were running “apps” on jailbroken devices months before the app store existed.

Looking at the code it seems to be getting the feed from the mastodon.social instance’s federated timeline. So it’s definitely not streaming “the fediverse” but a decent chunk of it.

phones are going to ruin everything

they kinda did.
