I wish I could’ve been this wise a few hours ago, now I’ve sunken cost myself into not being able to ignore it.

So wait, are we still posting to bunch-of-letters or to numbers?

The Metropolitan Police said they witnessed a “deliberate effort, including by protest organisers” to breach conditions that had been imposed on the event.

PSC posted some videos to their Twitter account showing that the police did let them through the first line of police barricade.

Can you change the display name to something like “196 (archive)” so it’s easier to distinguish them?

I think this means Momo won.

This is the best I could find, though I don’t think it substantiates claims being made. It’s also over a year old and so might not represent the current state of 196.

Ah, so they are. The ones I’ve read have always been pretty prescriptive so I just assumed the c meant change.

I can see that. One day we’ll figure out how to communicate tone over text.

That is weird, maybe check your language settings? Make sure you have ‘Undetermined’ selected. If not, maybe log out and back in.

Request for change, it’s more of open source/programming thing than this comm thing.

No, that’s something with your client. When I go to https://lemmy.world/c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com I see plenty of posts.

Also, lots of discussion under the announcement post in the new comm https://lemmy.world/post/24437552.

Wait, you’re telling me someone played up a bit in okmatewanker??? The audacity!

And tinned beans for breakfast will never not be weird, sorry UK.

Strong words for a country where more people eat doughnuts for breakfast than sausages.

Lol, so the “just make good games” crowd need to use bigotry as crunch to salvage their games’ reputation.

I’m seeing Ghost as a Substack killer, as that is a toxic swamp we need sensible folk off. Nearly everyone who had a newsletter migrated there. Only one listened to their fans and backed straight out again.

I always thought a newsletter was just a specialised blog, but maybe that’s wrong. I heard about the Substack allowing Nazis on there, so understandable why people would want off.

They already know, it’s just fediverse developers are radically anit-VC so reject any offers out of principle.

He also give a bunch of money to nostr developer.

Tumblr is now on ActivityPub

Is it? I know it’s been moved to Wordpress, but I haven’t heard about this.

Ghost can apparently be used to manage multiple blogs under different subdomains. Might be worth looking into when their ActivityPub supports goes out of early access.

He lists examples in the article.

Once upon a time, we had a solid way of overcoming the problem of lock-in. We’d reverse-engineer a proprietary system and make a free, open alternative. We’ve been hacking fire exits into walled gardens since the Usenet days, with the creation of the alt.* hierarchy:

When the corporate owners of Unix started getting all weird about source-code access and user-modifiability, we didn’t insist that Unix users were bad people for sticking with a corporate OS. We reverse-engineered Unix and set all those users free:

The answer to Microsoft’s proprietary SMB network protocol wasn’t a campaign to shame people for having SMB running on their LANs. It was reverse-engineering SMB and making SAMBA, which is now in every single device in your home and office, and it’s gloriously free as in speech and free as in beer:
