Aren’t there privacy friendly OSes you can already install on your Google Pixel?

Kinda like Medium or WordPress (the .com variant). Gives you your own subdomain and lets you blog. Their policy is that they absolutely will not editorialise anything. It’s used by a lot of reputable good bloggers too

Everyone affected by the policy decisions of the land should get to vote. No matter their race, literacy or political belief

Personally found streaks to be very helpful. In fact, on the homescreen of my phone is a very popular IOS app called Streaks!

Maintaining streaks has helped me a lot in fitness, mindfulness and discipline in general.

Here’s one against Joe Biden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_sexual_misconduct_allegation?wprov=sfti1

Ah. But according to the post we should’ve trusted her

Unfortunately…they can say the same thing about us. So we try to be fair and exercise a judicial system

They voted for what they believed to be in their best interest.

If this were the case, Republicans would easily find 30 women to lie against Kamala Harris or whoever the next Democratic candidate is

You don’t need to switch instances to explore new communities

is this the one?

This is not as far fetched as it seems. China has been incredibly unhelpful with investigating the origins of COVID.

It used to be very common in Tamil Nadu for an uncle to marry his niece. So common that the word for uncle (mama) can be used interchangeably with groom

I’ve been on Internet too long that I still don’t know which side you stand on. And that’s exactly the issue.

This is a very complicated problem. Not as straightforward as either side thinks.

Heavily politicised issue though. Imo, the whole trans issue should’ve never been politicised.

it’s up to them tbh. Things like Lemmy are ultimately ways to build your own forums. Whether they want to be part of the federation or keep it hidden is their choice. But I guess there’d be some way to build a browser extension to figure out if the website is using any popular fediverse platforms (mastodon, lemmy, etc.)

To be fair, the founder of the business, Byju, used to be a very ordinary school teacher and then he built this whole thing. Not family-owned, nor born rich.

Fuck their business practices though

Not really. 1896 was a leap year, but 1900 was not.

The leap year after 2096 will be 2104.

Edit: an interesting way to put this is, 2000 was the only year in 4 centuries where the year starting the century was a leap year. Next such occurrence will be in 2400

Here’s is something I don’t see a lot of people mention. Around the release of Pixel 3XL, Google kinda updated lot of their designs to make that hideous notch look intentional. Chrome Tab Headers were changed too. They got bigger with a lot more padding and rounded to look like the “notch”. They got rid of the notch in their phones, but the chrome tab header design somehow stuck

To answer the last part of your question, they don’t need to think of Lemmy at all. “Lemmy” is a framework, not a social network. infosec.pub is the social network I’m on. I don’t need to know about Lemmy at all (most of us don’t know what powers Reddit). Here we discuss information security and I can also communicate with the wider fediverse.

It doesn’t even have to be lemmy. I can connect to anything that uses activitypub. Mastodon, Kbin, Bookwyrm, Wordpress, etc. using my infosec.pub account.

The lemmy code provided by lemmy team is cloned and then patched (if needed) by infosec.pub maintainers and then deployed to their servers. The code for all intent and purpose is owned and maintained by infosec.pub. Lemmy doesn’t have any real control at that point.

Same with the arsenal example. arsenal.club is a social network about Arsenal powered by lemmy framework. If mufc.club uses another activitypub enabled protocol, the arsenal fan on arsenal.club can view that in their subscribed feed too.
