Cool. I don't want companies using AI to evaluate my application. They can get what they want when I get what I want.

Strongly disagree. This is just recreating what already exists, using a technology that's actually not great for it. Each website's connections should in some way resemble what that website is tailored to. And we don't need a network of websites that are tailored to "looking exactly like every other website, because we couldn't be arsed to pick a niche".
It's not nearly a small enough segment, really. It's a fairly significant fraction of the pre-2022 population.
They were excited to see people show up after Musk bought Twitter, but it was a very "now you'll have to play by OUR rules!" kind of excitement.
The fediverse is "the internet". Like, in conception, it's taking everything that's publicly available on the internet and making it auto-mirrorable-at-request.
So yes, on some fundamental level, it's a shit show. Because the internet is the worst of us.
I've been sick since Wednesday. Nothing serious, but, like, a really stubborn cold. I've slept like shit, and so has everyone else in the house because of that. I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, though.
Just in time for karate tomorrow D:
Aww, who's the specialist little boy in the government? Who is? Who is?
I like the theory that Tesla had a long term roadmap before Elon scooped it up, and that he wasn't able to do too much to disrupt that in the early years because he was focused on LARPing as Tony Stark on the Internet, and the team that developed around him to insulate the company from him were reasonably good at their jobs. But even the best can only hold back so few bad ideas while keeping up the illusion, and the result has been gradually diminishing amount of ass.
Until that roadmap ran out, and/or Elon stopped being distracted, resulting in them designing and building the Elon.
Trump cannot commit a coup, because he is already the head of state. Military coups occur when military generals step in to illegally claim the abilities of the head of state (or government) from someone else who had them legally.
Higher than usual, though, because Trump's ego cannot stand being told "no" even when it's a totally toothless rejection.
Something something second ammendment.
We have all let this happen in one way or another, via complacency, but y'all benefit from being a fascist state and informal empire together. Y'all can suffer the costs of it together, too.
This still assumes a president working within the law, as well as a public service loyal to the law. Trump has never done the former, and Elon's thugs are doing everything they can to remove the latter
They might not. But then, most people aren't going to do things that violate the IP rights in the first place, so they'd be willingly giving up sales.
And they're welcome to do so.
Most of the decision makers for those businesses voted for this. Let them suffer for it. Forever, if possible.
Trump wants us to kiss the ring, and his puppeteers want to break NATO. That's all that's going on here. There's no grand plan. There's just "satisfy the narcissist's ego" and "destroy the military alliance threatening Russia".
Keep in mind, the response is targeted at products that we actually produce in Canada. There should be Canadian alternatives to all of these.
We didn't choose him either, but we gotta deal.
Well, no point in resisting America's bullshit if it involves changing daily routines, I guess.
Jesus, no wonder we keep failing to change literally anything.
Hard coding other website engine names into the structure of your own website engine seems... not great.
Lemmy doesn't show posts from Mastodon for the exact same reason it doesn't show posts from Loops. Or PixelFed. Or Miskey. Or Bookwyrm. Or other Lemmy users.
A "Mastodon" feed would encompass all of those things. And it would promote the idea that all that exists outside of Lemmy are the most popular wish.com versions of existing mainstream services. It neither leaves room for acknowledging less popular options, nor anything that's genuinely new.
Plus, there are already website engines that let you follow both groups and users. If that's something you want, mbin is right there. Why not use that?
We have to stop sending end users to software solutions for web admins. We don't send them yo "nginx" or "apache", after all.
Someone throw up a website using this software and give the site a sensible name, and then direct users to that website.
And even if they did, you can't reply from Lemmy. You can't even load the post from Lemmy. You'd need to use something that actually interface with Mastodon posts.
