We also use “Block” when it’s really mute.

This is actually a pretty good analysis. I love that she clarifies it’s not a research paper, but a “canva infographic.” Spot on.

She doesn’t mention that the MBA professor who authored the infographic also seems to contract with FounderPartners, a VC consulting firm.

So this is really an ad for his side gig; “Pay us lots of money, and we’ll justify your layoffs with sciency mumbo jumbo.🌈😘📈”

This is how they get us. They’ll overwhelm with the volume of terrible shit that they’re doing. We just won’t be able to stop it all. We can organize and protest one thing at a time, But how can we organize to stop a thousand different things all happening at once?

Once they’re back to putting children in cages and banning birth control, how are we really going to be motivated to rally around stopping the shutdown of a government bureau?

Thunder is a solid app! I don’t believe that it has a display for large screens like PCs, but it is cross-platform in Android and iOS.

Makes sense. Fashion is cyclical.

This directory also lists the dev for each app, and most of them are great at being responsive and helpful. Of course sometimes people get busy, but the development community has been great here.

Awesome! Have a look at the Lemmy Apps Directory if you are interested in comparing the features of existing apps. You should especially see the web apps section, which has some brilliant solutions to cross-platform and cross-device functionality.

Lemmy UI is only one option, although it is the default for most instances. There are a lot of different web clients, some of which will preserve settings:

Voyager

Tesseract

Quiblr

Photon

Mlmym (“old-lemmy”)

Alexandrite

Well, you don’t get to be a billionaire and also have principles. Everyone must bow and kiss the ring.

I just discovered that this is Codeberg - I’ve seen a lot of projects there and I had no idea that it was an instance of Forgejo

Just googled the paper’s author. Yep, sure enough he seems to contract with “FounderPartners,” which describes itself as, " a team of serial entrepreneurs and M&A advisors."

I am not a coder, nor do I work in or have much knowledge of the industry. But I can tell immediately that this looks like some extra fancy BS. Designing a program to detect the quality and quantity of a person’s code commits sounds like AI mumbo-jumbo from the start. Even if it were technically possible, it would not tell you whether someone is an effective communicator, coordinates with other team members, shares productive ideas, etc.

The headline should have been:

“Consulting Firm Desperately Tries to Justify its Existence.”

American politics has taught me that this isn’t really that big a deal, apparently /s

That’s the most World War III vibes headline I’ve seen in a while.

No. Free speech tends to mean the most powerful group determines and enforces norms through aggression, harassment, etc. Speech has consequences, and some of those consequences include harms (threats, doxing, stalking, etc.)

Mastodon is one of the freest online speech platforms I’ve been a part of, and yet also has the most rigorously enforced code of conduct. More people are free to say more things, and feel confident that doing so does not put them in danger.

Before online platforms emerged, the ability to spread a message was dependent on your ability to support it financially and logistically. Anyone can publish a newspaper on any topic, but unless you have a racist millionaire backing you up, your message won’t get very far (ahem, Deerborn Independent). Online publishing has been a haven for hate groups.

Hezbollah today is not the same as the group that started bombing on Oct 8. They have been severely damaged in their capacity. Hopefully the state of Lebanon will be bolstered against them growing to the same scale in the future.

Maybe now civilians in Israel and Lebanon can begin returning to their homes.

I wonder if they would prorate? I ended up choosing proton as a better fit for my needs (since I needed VPN anyway, and I am a total beginner). They are also running a deal and I ended up upgrading and getting a prorated discount and a credit on the account. The folks at tuta seem pretty down to earth and interested in building a good name.

If they do end up giving you a refund/credit/upgrade, let us know!
