They were useful for me, an American happy to see fewer landmines in the world. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

us: we'd like universal healthcare please.

oligarchs: best we can do is shooting down our own planes with military hardware we gave to some other country during yet another war we started in the middle east.

You forgot the kids of the Iranian regime.

For thousands of years it has been like this. The internet showed everyone how it has always worked:

The rich vs. the rest of us.

Looks like it's meant to help you escape K8S, a worthy goal.

Because we have let the clowns be in charge and the stock market is full of monopolistic shitshows instead of actual competition.

Fucks my phone up. Don't see video, hear audio, have to kill browser.

I don't think X works as well or as widely as you may think.

Try out Desqview/X on that 486 if you get a chance!

You may be thinking of DesqViewX:

Edit for a little personal anecdote: ran a 2-line (2400, then later 14.4k) WWIV BBS under this on a 386sx in the 90s. What an awesome time that was.

 

Been working on a personal project to create community software that's deployable as a single image with no external dependencies (eg: no need to set up a db).

I've made a lot of progress, but am feeling technically lonely.

I would love it if there were anyone else out there with interests in open source, community and maybe some experience with the following tech that's maybe also looking for some comradery:

  • UX/UI
  • HTML/CSS
  • Cross-platform apps
  • Typescript

You can check the code out here to help decide if you're interested: https://andyburke.dev/andyburke/autonomous.contact

Fair warning: This project is still in the prototyping phase and isn't recommended for anyone other than a developer who's looking to help out. Additionally, there's currently no ActivityPub support, though federation is an eventual goal - if you know ActivityPub, I'd love to talk.

Ps. I am pretty bad at reaching out to people and I am not sure if this is the best way to find connection. If this isn't the right place, please let me know and I'll remove this.

 
 

[Jury Nullification] is when the jury in a criminal trial gives a verdict of not guilty even though they think a defendant has broken the law. The jury's reasons may include the belief that the law itself is unjust

Until the wealthy and powerful are held to account, why punish your fellow everyday citizens? Use your brain. Decide if what they're charging people with is suppression or actually keeping society safe.

When those prosecutors start losing these cases, maybe they will start to rethink who they are focusing on.

 

... at least how it'd be for me.

 

I saw other reports in the recent call for problems of errors around searching, but this seems, to me at least, to be reproducible.

edit: to be clear, this is using fedia.io - I am not sure if this bug affects mbin/kbin more generally, I've only tested on fedia.io.
