The post count is broken, it's on our list of things to look into (unless it fixes itself after a month has passed 🤷)
It's been great on pixelfed, I appreciate the people that put some time into it
pinned, thank you for the message :)
(please remind me if I forget to unpin it afterwards)
Good to know. The feature is marked as experimental, so maybe we will turn it off until either there is an update or we find what's causing the issue.
That would be in line with the "no immediate indication of foul play"
The Press Association confirmed there is an “active investigation’’ into the deaths. Sheriff Mendoza said there was no immediate indication of foul play. He did not provide a cause of death or say when the couple might have died.

Welcome! 😊

Hey sorry for the delay, did you manage to get this working or was it still stuck?
That is a good point, I added a link to the sidebar which goes to a brief description:

Seems like there's two versions of the paragraph now, what's the firefox-tou bit about?
More places seem to be switching over to a centralized/interoperable system for prescription information. In BC Canada we have
PharmaNet is a provincewide network owned and operated by the Ministry of Health. PharmaNet keeps a record of every prescription dispensed in B.C. community pharmacies and select hospital outpatient pharmacies.
In another Lemmy thread recently, someone mentioned that Australia has a national system for it. I think this might be it

The UI mostly, and because the layout is familiar to them
You could try specifying the material, like "a wax statue that is starting to soften and melt"
On the surface, both of them look very similar in format. They also both advertise themselves as decentralized and different from traditional social media, arguing that they won't face the same problems old social media did.
Mastodon uses ActivityPub, which is the widely used standard that most other fediverse platforms use. Mastodon is properly decentralized, where all the servers can interact and operate independently.
BlueSky made their own protocol that they control, citing that ActivityPub wasn't enough for what they wanted to do, and in some ways that's true. However with their structure, a central relay is needed in order for different instances to interact and so people argue that it isn't truly decentralized. Right now BlueSky is either the only instance, or basically the only instance. They've mentioned that they could transfer control of the relay to some other organization, but past that I don't think they've taken any steps towards that.
BlueSky is also a VC backed company while Mastodon is now under a nonprofit. BlueSky has its roots in crypto tech. There is more technical discussion on if it's even possible to have a decentralized BlueSky and if it's all just talk while they gather users.
My personal opinion is that I really hope bluesky does what they're promising, but I'm not expecting them to be any different than Twitter once they get a critical mass of users and the investors demand profits / infinite growth.
If my understanding is correct
With Islam, the deity is meant to have no gender and the use of "he" has more to do with the nuances of Arabic language
With Christianity, there is more anthropomorphism and the deity is seen as a father figure in comparison to everything else
The alternatives were mentioned in the episode, but they aren't on this website. This was from the last section, which was something along the lines of "if you absolutely need to use their products, you can still have some impact. Here is a memorable website you can link people to"
I installed OnlyOffice for a family member and they have no complaints. They were happy to learn they don't need to worry about subscriptions anymore either
I haven't seen this application yet, but is the difference that you can install word locally instead of using it in a web browser?
I may be wrong, but I think it's because some company owns the rights to the show in Canada and doesn't want people watching it on YouTube
Not commenting on Bluesky, but the others have taken steps to differentiate themselves
Mastodon was handed over to a non profit

Signal has been under a nonprofit
Being open source also means that people can fork the apps if something changes, or apps + server code in the case of a lot of fediverse software
