As someone who’s worked in the VoD industry: it is.

That’s… not an accurate characterization.

I would have voted for Sanders in a heartbeat. And a lot of other (Americans) on my instance would too. The disdain is more targeted and nuanced than that. A whole lot of us on sh.it just.works have a reasonably solid understanding of the difference between communism and authoritarian communism, and are also often geopolitical nerds to one degree or another. This often leads to us doing our best to combat what we see as bullshit disinformation and misrepresentation when and where we see it.

The vitriol we have towards tankies is specifically a result of:

• our dislike of the glorification of historical authoritarian leaders (Stalin; Mao)
• the intentional blurring of the line between communism (which, bluntly, many of us don’t actually have a problem with) and authoritarian communism
• the jingoistic support of modern authoritarian states that either call themselves “communist” despite not really being anything of the sort (China), or who have a historical lineage that runs through an (again, authoritarian) communist state (Russia)

When looked at that way, it’s a lot closer to modern Iron Front ideology (anti-monarchy; anti-fascist; anti-authoritarian communist).

And steak milk

Oh man dude you’re making me want to take the train down

Damn dude. When’s dinner? I got a pet nat and chenin blanc I can bring over to share.

You seem to be under the impression that it’s good if this place grows explosively. It’s not. There’s no VC to pay back here (and thank fuckin god for that). There’s no ad revenue here (again, this is good).

Also, not entirely sure what exactly to make of the weirdly targeted quip about a Chinese child, but spidey sense says it’s nothing good.

Looks like 5 to me

Dude, it’s less clear than the existing symbol. Stop trying to push this.

Reading the article before posting?

Believe it or not, straight to jail.

Hey, you know what?

Lemmy for Harris. Let’s do that.

Yep. The system is, pleasantly, working as designed, and it seems to be working well.

Rust is not a niche language. It’s a strict and strongly opinionated language by design. People with background in strongly typed languages, who additionally use opinionated linters and formatters have an easier time adjusting. JavaScript “devs” (note: distinct from “software engineers”) probably pull their hair out over a lot of stuff in because in my experience, many js devs know enough about the language to work proficiently in a couple of frameworks, but haven’t really dug into the nuances of the language, and also have limited experience with strong typing.

I’m actually mildly surprised it’s still only two devs. Are they treating it like a walled garden, or is there really a complete lack of interest in contributing to the codebase?

Inaccurate - the tankie pulling the switch would be smiling

What…?

Selective federation is a benefit. It’s by design. It’s helpful in precisely these circumstances. And as it’s open source, the users of the service can use the feature how they want. It’s entirely reasonable that instance admins use the feature as intended to protect against regional legal liability. What you’re doing is like using a canoe, and then complaining that there’s too much water in these here parts.

I feel like he doesn’t understand that he’s the common denominator here…?

We’re not talking about homebrew. We’re talking about flatpak.

If you want it for homebrew so badly, be the change that you want to see.

That looks decadent.

It also looks like it’d push my cholesterol levels over 9000 lol

I mean there are a shitload of reasons to not federate with Threads, but I feel like “it will federate ads to your server” is kinda the only one I should need to mention.
