Sounds very similar to the old Soviet pacemakers with radioisotope batteries. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, records about them got lost and so a bunch of people have been buried with pretty radioactive stuff in their chest. I don’t think we (as developed societies) are going to take that risk for some phone batteries…

Yes, I think so but only indirectly. Distinguishing between the “same” community on different instances or rather identifying the more active one is already pretty hard, the only thing one can really go by is the number of users who have joined. The large number of abandoned copycat communities on 3+ servers doesn’t make this easier since a lot of these have a bunch of users but are dead.

A technical solution could be some kind of “hotness” score for instances to identify the interesting/active ones.

Thank you for reading the source, the amount of FUD in this thread is crazy.

Easier explanation: She didn’t post it, it’s an obvious fake designed to put her in jail.

Crazy that people here immediately believe its her that posted this when the Jerusalem Post reports it. It’s a random account in her name with a widely available picture, it not hers

How is that relevant? Especially considering Reagan stopped the shelling of Beirut in 1982 and the Beirut barracks bombing happened in 1983?

Yes, but it’s only consistent to reject that false framing and clearly delineate between supporters and opponents of Israel. Everything else just serves Israel by mudding the water.

Worldnews was always really bad on reddit, I was also surprised to see that true for lemmy too. Lots of different world views and biases I guess.

So far the Israeli government under Netanyahu has mostly done things to strengthen Hamas, a more radical and violent (but controlled by the vastly stronger Israeli military, or so they thought) group in power in Gaza was deemed beneficial since it prevents the formation of “reasonable”, anti-violent advocates for Palestinian liberation. Didn’t really work out that well I guess.

Thank you for reposting! Sounds like a real piece of shit, this guy.

Kind of fucked that working boards are now (supposed to be) trash, they could offer an accessory that buzzes when things get dangerous. I assume a lot of people aren’t going to take the up on the offer though.

I don’t think you can derive anything about “the left” from this. You can’t e.g. blame users from hexbear for not wanting to bring the debate to others, in fact that’s why many instances defederate from them. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Ah, historical favorite

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Viral memes on fire off the shoulder of Orion… I watched CGI babies dance in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to die.

great tech

That’s not what the glassdoor.com reviews say, at least last time I checked a bunch of employees complained about a horrendously out-of-date PHP stack.

Man, I’m happy I’m not the only one who feels like this. I had such a good time in the chapotraphouse sub and never forgave reddit for banning it. None of the offspring from there could really capture what made this sub special, the hexbear thing certainly can’t.

Thank you for the well thought out reply! I understand now that its not the way Lemmy devs envision this particular part of the fediverse to develop. It doesn’t completely agree with what I see in the current federation landscape though: Most communities cluster around shared interest, be they language, nsfw vs non-nsfw or ideology. Following that, there is a clustering effect regarding the communities on each instance: If I find an instance with a community I care about I’m pretty likely to be interested in the other communities on there too. My guess is: A popular app will implement this feature and it will become mandatory for everyone else who wants downloads. But I get the “idiomatic” argument and understand why Jerboa devs are unlikely to want this feature.

Are you sure you’re talking about the same thing as the OP? The feature request (which I wholeheartedly support) is just listing the communities of a specific instance, something that’s hopefully quite forward (since you’ll just have to ask an instance which communities it knows, no central directory required).

IIRC, this “accident” is simply because chocolate producers figured out it’s cheaper to make the milk slightly taste like vomit (something the Americans apparently didn’t mind too much) than cooling it properly. I think nowadays that wouldn’t really fly but back then cheaper chocolate was maybe so desirable that consumers didn’t mind the weird taste.

As far as I’ve understood, the only way to reliably push to Android devices in sleep is via Google’s Firebase Cloud Messaging service. Google controls access to this service and only the main ntfy.sh host uses this (can use this?).

EDIT: Oh wow, the docs for this tool are really good! Apparently, you can also add FCM to your own instance.
