After reading this, it's pretty obvious that Stripe killed it by drastically changing its policy around in-site currency, which could've helped them a lot. What a shame. In the brief time I was on Cohost, I have seen a lot of interesting content over there. People were coding entire games inside of posts, something you can't do on Tumblr nowadays. And the atmosphere was much more free, untethered and welcoming.
As an Israeli who is losing his mind over what is happening and is learning about the less positive side of Zionism, I feel the same. In essence, we have a battle between two extreme groups, one more civil and normal-looking in terms of outer appearance than the other.
Freezing water at 0 and boiling water as 100 simplifies things a lot but also doesn't make sense when it comes to things like weather, like, what am I supposed to wear outside when it's 23 degrees?
It is unfortunate that in my country, you pretty much have to use WhatsApp as it's so common there.
Most who use Arch prefer to use a customized tiling window manager instead of a desktop environment. I tried using i3, and I do understand tiling WMs, but they're not really for me and I won't be able to do a crazy design out of them.
Lemm.ee, another instance I am in, isn't hosting images anymore or letting people upload images directly due to this issue. When your platform is supposed to be 100% open source and decentralized, there are bound to be issues like this, and they should be dealt with, even if proprietary tech is necessary for it. I'm sorry to hear about this.
If the next platform won't be a fediverse/ActivityPub platform but an entirely new social network or another protocol, I hope there will be a way for existing beehaw.org users to migrate. I don't want to lose access to this community.
I created a lemm.ee account, and I might just mainly go on there instead of this one (or .world).
I get an error "ERROR: Cannot write file - profile_v2.json: Access is denied. (os error 5)" anytime I try to use it.
.world is so unstable that at this point its future is uncertain and I am ready to completely migrate either to beehaw or to some other instance.
Not a lot, at least not anymore. Brave has annoying cyrpto-ads that I always have to turn off every time I reinstall their browser, their sync service sucks, and ever since they dropped Bing, Brave search became useless.
There is literally no public torrent tracker out there that has no issues...
Vivaldi has a bunch of stuff I like - tab stacking, tiling, a functional sidebar that is actually useful, and full-on UI customization.
The colors are not that great. It's like a beautiful city being covered in grey smoke.
Russian-language independent media says otherwise. Websites like VK and RuTube will now require Russian Email addresses like yandex and mail-dot-ru.
