Replace “woman” with “Black” in this rant and it sounds just like someone trying to make reparations look bad by strawmanning its supporters.

I agree that neoliberal capitalism has (largely successfully) used feminism as a way to distract from society’s real problems. But this ain’t it.

Because who is going to operate the servers?

Originally with RCS it was the carrier, but basically every carrier switched to using Jibe (by Google) for the backend.

And it sounds like Apple is going to operate their own as well.

Nah it just makes it confusing, especially to non native English speakers

That’s the point. To many, they didn’t matter and still don’t. Which is abhorrent.

• Ublock Origin, not Ublock

Even if you get rid of every nuclear power plant, governments will still pursue bombs.

I like Google products but the search engine really has become shit. I’m not sure there’s anything they can do about it though.

“Your body, your choice” has a limit once a super dangerous pathogen shows up and people start refusing the best tool we have to stop it for increasingly batshit reasons.

If you choose not to vaccinate, you’re directly putting everyone else you interact with at risk. So there’s a limit

I’d give you a pass if you said the NSA… but we clearly need something like the FBI. Who would stop child exploitation? Human trafficking?

Idk, I’ve consistently seen that the instances defederated from (at least on lemmy.world) are either full of trolls or bigots.

You want a broken Windows install? This is how you get a broken Windows install.

I completely disagree with this, but that’s probably because I actually have a photo gallery as opposed to a set of files.

Corollary: I hate websites that refuse to provide native apps for commonly used functionality.

Here’s an issue that people won’t talk about that they need to: the right to commit crimes. Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s immoral, and the growing belief on multiple fronts that a criminal justice system should be “perfect” is what’s driving a lot of the erosion of privacy rights, among other things.

I joined lemmy.world because it was the biggest.

Defederation didn’t seem to be an issue at first, though I would like to know what exactly I’m missing out on (within reason… Not a fan of bigotry) But the performance issues are making me wonder if I should switch.

EDIT: I do kind of want to be on an instance that federates with both lemmy.world and beehaw. Any recommendations?

Only Up? More like only dashing face first into spikes as your jaded ego throws shade at you.

I really hoped Threads would supplant Twitter, but it wasn’t even given a chance. All the people I follow have either stuck to Twitter over Bluesky’s invite system and Threads being full of braindead Instagram people, or rejected the idea of a Twitter replacement completely (sorry, cohost is not a good replacement!)

Ah yes, gag in the bag. 😃 For some reason I kinda like their “buttery jack”, it’s just disgusting enough to hit the spot sometimes.

Technical question, what library / ad network is this?
