Bluesky was easier to sign up and less confusing to use. It had a much better mobile app. A lot of pro newsies came to Mastodon and were roundly ejected and abused, so they up and went to Blurdky instead. That was a major shooting your own foot moment for Mastodon because those newsies would have brought engaged audience. I saw people celebrating at Mastodon when news reporters up and quit. Idiotic. I hope the Lemmy community doesn’t repeat that mistake.


Australia is a five eyes member state and holds multiple US bases on its territory. It is also a Commonwealth state with the UK and Canada, both formal NATO members. And Australia just got royally screwed over its nuclear submarine purchase from the US by Trump.


Guess the United States no longer needs access to bases in Europe and Australia.


I don’t think Yale can do that. But if Vance were to present false claims to a court, the state bar could disbar him. Which would be fitting.


So they’re feeding bees Vegemite now.


He’s weaponizing an old theosophical conspiracy for the purpose of manipulating the MAGA base.


JD Vance has a law degree from Yale. He knows better. I remember when politicians didn’t direct the DOJ to go after their opponents with bogus claims of wrongdoing.


Mastodon project needs to fix how authentication is handled across user instances. This confuses newbies because they click a link and wind up at a remote server where they’re not authenticated, and don’t even realize it.
This divide is problematic across ActivityPub. Hubzilla and zot fixed that problem years ago.


This must be how they plan to sell America on crypto.
You’re insane. It’s a brilliant film.


Trump can go fuck Putin, then himself.


Two points:
The choice of framing this as illicit experimentation is unfortunate. This policy is anti-science and anti-medicine, but it isn’t really experimentation per se. It is a grievous violation of prisoners’ human rights though, and should he called out.
The Lemkin Institute is named for Raphael Lemkin, a man who lost much of his family in the Holocaust. He was also a lawyer and wrote the anti-genocide UN convention. Lemkin is an important person and more people should know about him.


I can understand the FTC being involved because trade. But the FCC? Maybe regulatory authority over WiFi? But this seems like massive over reach.
Remember when conservatives claimed to support smaller government?
Reminds me of that movie, Crash:



Apple’s integrated CPU, GPU and high bandwidth RAM has won the price/performance war. Neither Intel nor AMD have yet to offer a comparable product line that meets Apple’s design. They value upgradability via low bandwidth DIMMS and continue to lose customers.
Is it the same federation issue from 0.19.0?
