It doesn't work for me, on Firefox or Chrome. Chrome reports ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Often, the option to downvote is the only thing stopping me from getting sucked into some stupid argument with an idiot. It is a massive productivity booster. Downvote and move on.

I wish kbin would hide posts with lots of downvotes...

I expect it will be - it seems to almost work already. For example, take this peertube channel - https://tube.arthack.nz/c/intertwingled/videos?s=1.

I tried a few different things in the kbin search and @intertwingled@tube.arthack.nz got a result that I could subscribe to. If that channel posts another video, it might show up in kbin. Will it be a microblog? A thread? A magazine? Who knows! kbin seems very confused about all of this.

You don't need to read much history to find plenty of bad things done by non-commercial entities, e.g. governments. Or churches.

It's not commerce that is the problem, it is oppression. Use of my code for oppressive purposes is the thing I want to avoid.

Wanna see something that makes even Perl look elegant and readable? Check out any sed script. Here's tetris, in sed: https://github.com/uuner/sedtris/blob/master/sedtris.sed

 

It's really important for those of us who've lived through previous megacorp attacks on free software ecosystems to TEACH that history.

This article rehashes a lot of relevant stuff in some detail. Regardless of what you feel about the decisions around the fediverse and Facebook, knowing the history can only help.

When we learn from history, we are NOT NECESSARILY condemned to repeat it.

I wonder if Gab was invited. It would be hilarious if the only instances willing to federate with Meta were Nazis.

This seems ideal for something like ActivityPub where data is flowing between different people and places all the time. Looks like the tooling isn't there yet, though.

I have a Yoga 530, running KDE 5.24.4. The touch functionality is really broken, basically unusable. Try Gnome, anything is better than this.
