How do you containerize stuff you install from source in a way that you can completely remove later?
  • NixOS containers could do what OP's asking for, but it'll be trickier with just nix (on other distro). It'll handle build dependencies and such, but you'll still need to keep your home or other directories clean some other way.

  • Europe Does Not Offer Solutions to Ukrainian War: Pope Francis
  • The invasion has been such a catastrophic failure that I don't see how "escalate things again in a few years to come" is even remotely plausible, even if they do get some concession at this point.

  • Matty Healy: Malaysia festival cancelled after The 1975 singer attacks anti-LGBT law
  • The issue is, social change should be driven by the locals, through civil organizations, grassroots movements, education, etc. If foreigners want to help, they can help local LGBT groups with support, know-how, expertise.

    If, instead, you just go to a foreign country, tell people there how backwards and evil their society is, and demand they change it, at best you'll be wasting your time, and if you're high-profile enough, boost local reactionary sentiment.

    The advance of LGBT rights in the west has been a long process. And other societies aren't going to just magically internalize the results of it. They still need to walk the path. But, since it's already been done once, they can hopefully do it faster.

  • Kyiv imposes ban on Russian-language culture
  • But Kyiv the city also has (had before the war) about a quarter of its population being Russian-speakers, so the point stands. That said, I don't see this trend reversing while the war's still ongoing.

    Why are folks so anti-capitalist?
  • That's not what libertarians believe though. Whether they're right or not is a separate issue. The point is, they exist, and I'd expect them to also like decentralized social networks (like they like decentralized finance).

    Why are folks so anti-capitalist?
  • I guess most pro-capitalism people don't mind corporate-controlled social media, and so have stayed on reddit. I don't know why there aren't more anti-monopolistic pro-capitalism libertarians here, though...

  • Microblogging Platform with an Algorithm
  • I didn't know that kbin microblogs also pull Mastodon posts by hashtags! That's a really nice feature.

    BTW can Lemmy communities also have tags? None of the ones I subscribe to seem to have any...

  • Microblogging Platform with an Algorithm

    When I tried Mastodon, I found I couldn't get the content I'm interested in there. I'm not really interested in following specific people; instead I want to see posts that fit my interests, regardless of who made them. Hence (apparently very unpopular on the Fediverse), I actually want an algorithm that can create a personalized content feed for me. Is there a platform that has that?

    Doctors stage biggest walkout in NHS history. Senior hospital doctors, known as consultants, in England will also begin a 48-hour strike on July 20, with radiographers following suit from July 25
  • “The complete inflexibility we see from the UK government today is baffling, frustrating, and ultimately destructive for everyone who wants waiting lists to go down and NHS staffing numbers to go up,” Laurenson and Trivedi added.

    Maybe the Tory government doesn't want wait lists to go down, but want to adopt the US system instead...

  • How should we deal with similarly named communities?
  • I want to be able to create my own if I want to. But also I think it's important not to make everyone recreate that same work. Do it say, they should be public by default, with the option to make a private one.
