Only part not believable is they would know what truncate tables means.

I’m definitely not a socialist. .ml is where I landed when I joined due to not knowing any better and joining the largest (at the time) instance, and honestly the outside hate is keeping me there.

PieFed is absolutely a “derivative” in terms of its DNA. It’s basically built as a love letter to Lemmy’s specific flavor of ActivityPub.

If you look at the raw JSON, PieFed isn’t just “using ActivityPub”, it’s specifically implementing the “Lemmy-isms” that make the Threadiverse work. It uses the same Group actor logic, the same Dislike activity extensions for downvoting, and even mirrors Lemmy’s API routes so you can use apps like Jerboa.

In a way, it’s like how a 3rd-party controller is a “derivative” of a PlayStation controller. The internals are completely different, but it’s shaped exactly that way so it can plug into the same console and work perfectly. PieFed chose to speak “Lemmy-ish” instead of just “ActivityPub-ish” to ensure it wasn’t an island.

You said it not me.

Lemmy isn’t compatible with Reddit. Piefed is literally implementing Lemmy’s data structures to specifically be compatible with Lemmy.

So since your stated goal is counter to reality, I have to wonder what your real intent is. I only see this drama as weakening Lemmy and Piefed by extension, not strengthening anything.

Piefed is a derivative of Lemmy. So you’re not getting away from it.

That’s why

Which is? I’m still missing something here.

I really do not understand all the .ml hate. If you have it so much why are you using their technology (Lemmy)? So much bullshit being reposted as fact. Basically echo chamber brigading. I left Reddit to escape this shit…

Edit: although judging by your post history you lack conviction and joke about everything, so maybe I missed the mark

Lemmy has an unhealthy obsession with shiting on Brave. (Responding to your downvotes)

Brave Search privacy notice

Brave Search is designed to be private by default. We don’t collect personal information about you, your device or your searches. We also don’t transmit information to the web that could be used to profile you or track you or learn anything about you. Your searches are private to YOU.

So because it won’t hurt them enough we should do nothing.

Maybe they should just stop supporting history rewriting in the JavaScript engine?

With default runtime, very true. There are other runtimes that can be used that provide better isolation like gVisor, kata, firecracker, etc.

More “feel good” legislation that has no basis in reality. They obviously do not actually intend to enforce this for corporations because it would shut down modern software development and data centers overnight. Imagine spinning up a docker container or a VM with accounts created. Suddenly you’re violating the law because there’s no age attestation. Nor should there be.

If they want this to actually fly, they should be more targeted in their legislation, but that would require they actually know what they’re fucking talking about.

This is obviously targeted at individuals to “protect” them. Great. No thank you.

Looks like that user’s comments were all mod deleted. Maybe it’s a bot account? No idea

Such pretentiousness. That was quite a boring and very dull read. Nothing insightful.

The link you posted literally has this banner at the top

F-Droid is under threat. Google is changing the way you install apps on your device. We need your help.

That’s one of the reasons I like Firefox focus. Can’t just open another tab and queue it for later. One tab only is kind of nice sometimes.

Open source just means people are free to edit it and distribute their changes. Hardcoding things like this is bad practice no matter if it’s open source or not. It’s not maintainable. Maintainable as in easily maintainable, I.e., configuration files not code edits.

That isn’t how it works. They would have to FORK the code and maintain their changes going forward with every update. That is poor software development practices no matter how you look at it.

Thanks for the ad.
