Are these tariffs even being implemented or are they just “announced”? I can only imagine the chaos that customs workers must be going through.

Edit: Found an answer to my own question. It starts on may 2.

Browser engines are the clients in a client-server system. Social media interactions follow a client-server-client pattern. Federation merely allows for something like client-server-server-client, and wouldn’t make sense for browsers.

What you’re probably looking for is simply communities built around forking the codebase of those engines for innovation and development. Those probably already exist, since that’s part of the cultural backbone of the FOSS movement.

Since my (leftist) instance is blocked, OP probably can’t even read this comment.

That irony aside, although I disagree that federated Lemmy as a whole is homogenous, it’s only natural that an alternative social network would skew away from the mainstream, and that instances would be relatively homogenous internally.

I believe this is by design, but to expect something else is unrealistic. The only options for Lemmy would be for it to be either further left or further right than Reddit. And there are a couple fascist instances, though they are blocked.

Fantastic reply, thank you very much. I’ll see if I can get them a USB Mint for a test drive. Thanks!

“No negotiation process can take place because Russia has not been made to pay a high enough price for this war.”

Sir, I don’t think that’s how negotiations work.

As part of his “Victory Plan”, unveiled in October, Zelensky suggested that battle-hardened Ukrainian troops could replace US forces in Europe after the war with Russia ends.

Horrifying. Fucking hell. Europe looks bleaker each passing day.

It’s ironic how, if the Ukrainian regime turns rogue and refuses to obey the Trump admin’s negotiations, this war will actually end with the dreaded march on Kyiv that never had to happen.

How do y’all resist the urge of being smug against all the people who believed imperial media?

Gotta remember to come back in 8 hours lol. This might be a fun experiment, since basically every corporate social media wants to be tiktok already.

A few months ago, the search engine expanded its offering by making available data from OCLC’s proprietary WorldCat database. Anna’s Archive scraped several terabytes of data over the course of a year and published roughly 700 million unique records online, for free.

Scraping data is now “hacking”. Every single computer science department will have to close its doors and surrender their research datasets to the police.

Superhero comics are weird.
