Vice had a tech podcast called ‘Cyber’ and they dropped a final episode yesterday. It’s just a bunch of the staff bewildered and mourning the fall of Vice. Pretty interesting.

More amusing was that they did it ‘rogue’. Much of their CDN was inoperable, except for the podcast deliver infrastructure.

Have some self respect and move on from her. She has every right to have whatever relationships she wants, and it’s fine for you to not be ok with it. Go find your own thing now.

I was just saying to myself: “shit, I’m Calvin’s dad.”

Thems the breaks with speech.

Burning the Koran is most certainly going to get people upset. If someone took another’s Koran and burned it, there’s already a law for that. If someone burned a Koran, pointed at a Muslim person and said “You’re next!”, that’s a direct threat.

Getting overly upset because someone desecrated a common item you feel is holy… I don’t have a lot of sympathy.

If you are in a liberal democracy that values free speech, you’re gonna have to suck it up and pick your battles. If you want people to be tolerant of your nonsense book that has backward ways of seeing the world, you will have to tolerate that they may tell you precisely what they think about it. On the best days, people should be able to hear speech that offends them, and everyone goes home safe to argue another day. No personal threats, no violence.

The look on those kids faces. They dont know the word ‘fuuuuuuuuck’, but they know the feeling.

FWIW: I see no reason to federate with Threads/Meta/FB. We can always change our minds later.

My hope will be that users of Threads will end up learning about federation/activity pub in general, then become curious about other instances. I’m the early nineties, many people thought AOL was the internet. It was the intro to the internet, for many, many people who moved on to finding all other kinds of wonderful stuff out there. No reason it couldn’t happen that way.

Oh hell yeah! I’ve been beta testing it. May grab the non-beta just to rate it like others.

Well done!

Ya know; perfect time to shout out the admins here. Thanks for this little terrific instance. I have an account on BeeHaw, I just never leave here.

No drama, just polls about icons. Easy.

I’ve been testing the Memmy client for the past couple of days and it’s been getting better pretty quickly. If you want to check it out: https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy

I’m really diggin’ it. I was just looking through the list of subs that Lemmy has on their site and found programming.dev. Asked to join, and zero reason to go elsewhere. I can subscribe to damn near anything easily, and my instance has a pretty chill main section(not sure what you call it). Programming focused, but plenty of cat picks, wild bird pictures, random memes…

I think I’m sticking around for a while.
