23 Aug 23. Ya, no ambiguity. /s

2023-08-23 is the way.

Dude is still simping for Musk. No sympathy.

Facebook is one of the biggest contributors to OpenStreetMap and makes lots of open source software.

I’d like to know more about this.

I’m certainly not trying to be an Apple apologist here, as iMessage has plenty to critique. But it bears consideration that iMessage falling back to SMS is a certain amount of openness, is it not?

Not an unfair complaint against Apple, but ignores Google’s/Android’s problematic “support” for RCS, and in this context of this comment seems to imply that What’sApp isn’t “closed” like iMessage.

apple hates open standards

What about WhatsApp is open?

If this is the thinking I can expect on this instance, perhaps this is not the instance for me.

I feel that maybe you’re reading my question as ‘critique of China is inherently support for the west/US/etc’ which I absolutely do not mean. I think that it’s possible that painting all critique with a broad ‘xenophobia’ brush (while undoubtedly warranted at times) can prevent discussion in good faith.

I am asking this in full earnestness: is any critique of the Chinese government assumed to be rooted in xenophobia?

Consider me subscribed! As much as I like r/xbiking, I like that you chose not to copy the name.

Nuked and deleted my numerous alts over the past few days. Nuked and deleted my main and oldest account (14 years) just a few hours ago.

Might spool up that self-hosted lurk-only software to still browse, but I’m not posting another word on there.

The “non-commercial” requirement to exempt third party accessibility apps is extremely underhanded and not being talked about enough.

Twitter’s definitely didn’t.

I don’t know… 50% of their top advertisers have left, and their advertising income is down 60%. I’m no longer there, so I can’t speak to overall user engagement, but with their revenue cratering, I’m not sure how long it is destined for this world.

Cycling communities, specifically the non-judgemental welcoming r/xbiking.

A ‘multi-community’ feature would be welcome.

r/truefilm comes to mind; that’s a great point.

I thank you for your response, and generally think you are right. Perhaps I should rephrase my question a bit to: is the existence of multiple communities on a given subject a feature of Lemmy (perhaps even unique to Lemmy) we should expect and embrace, or do you think communities coalescing into few/one will occur naturally?

Ron Desantis. He certainly looks younger than many other candidates, but he still looks like a typical presidential candidate age. When I found out he graduated high school the same year as I, I’ve never felt more old.

Age

in case you’re wondering.

Great list. One suggestion for Mastodon client, I’ve found Ice Cubes to be a much superior client than the official one, still FOSS.

To paraphrase an oldie: if NSFW was not allowed, there’d be just one [lemmy] community called c/bringbacktheporn
