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
I wonder if Gab was invited. It would be hilarious if the only instances willing to federate with Meta were Nazis.
Yes, it can provide a SSL connection to the end-user even though you’re just serving http with no cert. However it is yet another moving part that can break or be mis-configured and yet another bunch of capitalists data-mining all the things.
Naaah, Caddy is way simpler than Apache. It’ll be much easier. Take a quick look at the docs and you’ll see what I mean.
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.
Another thing to bear in mind is that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are totally overloaded at present. While their UI might function Ok, behind the scenes there are queues of content to be sent out to other servers that get pretty choked up.
Content from before you subscribe is not sent, only from that point onwards (unless someone else on the same server already subscribed to it).
Lemmy has a bug where when you search it won’t show any results at first, and then 10 seconds later it’ll show your magazine. Are you waiting 10+ seconds?
Yup. There needs to be some de-duplication code, somehow.
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.
Sorry to get your hopes up - it turns out that moving the image to the left is really hard (aka I don’t know CSS grid very well). Also the other changes I wanted ended up being identical to “Compact mode” which you can enable with the cog in the top right. Highly recommended.
Those are all politics.
But, 4 months out from an election, pretty much every single post in !newzealand is going to be politics. There’s no way to fight that, for now.
I’ll work on a user style for this, and other niggles, tomorrow.
Total rage bait. Barry Soper is trash.
On One News this evening they were very clear that other factors (such as how long they’ve been waiting, how sick the person is) are still more important than the patient’s ethnicity.
The key thing is that clinical priority absolutely predominates the score anyone gets.

None of this was mentioned in the NZ Herald piece. Barry Soper, the author, is a political hack who should not be trusted. He gives journalism a bad name and discredits the publication he writes for. I absolutely can’t stand the guy and am disappointed in anyone who uncritically promotes his work.
It’s an alt-right cesspool, even worse than youtube.
It doesn’t work for me, on Firefox or Chrome. Chrome reports ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR
