wow this is actually fucked.

a DNS resolver being court-ordered to block a website is way, way, way too far.

we are literally a step away from google chrome or firefox being ordered to disable websites.

this is a new low. i like quad9, and i want to continue using them. i respect them hugely for putting up the fight, and obviously when forced by the court to do something, they have no option but to comply.

but holy SHIT FUCK SONY and spez, of course.

I dunno man, I recently put Mint onto my Lenovo and... the refinement just isn't there STILL. dual monitor management isn't very good, even mouse acceleration doesn't play well when you go from the touchpad to an external mouse. Sure, many things have improved, but the fit and finish just isn't even where windows was a decade ago...

i'll join the voices saying this is bad for the fediverse, and bad for users in general. there are LOTS of normie users who are joining threads who will be shut off from learning about all the cool other servers if everyone blocks them. this will mean users who want to interact with them need to sign up on Threads, which is what we don't want.

what we want is that users on Threads see other servers, learn that they're better, and migrate over.

don't block Threads, show them how much better we are.

that product photo is fucking hilarious

can someone explain to me the difference between kbin and Lemmy before we get too far into this and I'm too scared to ask

*the correct amount of sugar

if I didn't go to the gym 4 days a week i would definitely have diabetes

they blocked access for lemmy.world users.

I like the RAID idea, there are two F1 communities on different servers with the same number of subs. they should be synced. no reason to have two

there have been some third party audits, as it is open source, and they all came up very positively. I think we can trust them for now..

boy that smirk just says it all, don't it?

i found it challenging to understand how to subscribe to communities across instances until i discovered the Home icon in the top right of lemmiverse.net. i wish there was a quick 'subscribe' button there that would help you build up your subscriptions fast.

generally, i feel good about it. waiting for a few communities i really enjoyed to pop up- watchexchange and watches are big ones imo.

glad to see two huge F1 communities though!

woooww, that's some decisive action from Helmut. no surprise, well done danny boy, but damn...

if danny does well he goes to RBR and Perez gets dropped. They wont put Perez at AT, no point, he's too old.

I can't figure out how to collapse comment threads tho..

great explanation, the relation to the brand-name platforms really helps. thank you.

yep, i'm here now, but i do also have a reddit tab open...

I do, from desktop, mainly as force of habit.

my chosen mobile app, Relay, actually still works, but I am trying to train myself to use Lemmy more.

I just wish the content changed over faster, and there were more comments.

I had this problem with Liftoff, I signed out and back in and it's fine now

i think the point is that in iMessage you totally CAN send a video, hence why green bubbles aren't popular...

that's the point. green bubbles are sms, blue bubbles are imessage..
