Thanks for the heads up; so many great customization features, should have checked more thoroughly first! 👍

One shitty company suing another shitty company; nothing more enjoyable to watch!

Thanks for your diligent commitment to Arctic's development!

Convenient that it's not censorship to them when it involves tech platforms censoring, shadowbanning, algorithmically demoting, or otherwise removing LGBTQ+ content, anti-fascist, and left-wing views.

The cartels wouldn't be nearly as powerful if American gun companies weren't producing so many guns, knowing full well where they're ending up and how they're being used.

In any case, talking about Mexico's cartels is just Republicans trying to distract the public from their own white supremacist, bigoted, transphobic, and xenophobic policies that make them far more dangerous terrorists than all the Mexican cartels combined.

Israel's invasion of Gaza and the West Bank are known terror attacks; news at 11.

There's already been major backlash, is the author living under a rock?

Waze is owned by Google, so it probably implemented the "Gulf of America" typo too. Just tested Magic Earth for a few minutes, and Organic Maps seems to be the more polished of the two in terms of OpenStreetMap frontend apps, in my opinion.

Zelenskyy giving interviews to propaganda outlets like Newsmax, especially in giving in to Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea in peace talk negotiation, is just dealing into Russia's hand. Trump's odd pandering to Putin means that Zelenskyy should be spending his time wheeling and dealing with as many European politicians as possible, since Trump will take Russian bribes in a minute over recognizing the illegality, authoritarianism, and ethnic cleansing associated with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the countless war crimes that it has perpetuated in the process.

Fucking over Ukraine by cutting off support and pretending that Russia's invasion has any legitimacy whatsoever means that without Europe's involvement there won't be Ukraine–Russia talks, but rather Trump having a wet dream has he sees Russia follow in Israel's stead by annexing Ukrainian territory, stealing its natural resources, and ethnically cleansing its population, much as Trump would do to Canada too if he could.

Definitely think that it's beneficial for any instance we recommend to have direct links to alternative frontends, even if they don't implement it in their backends directly.

Although I deleted my primary Reddit account after the blackout, after some password resetting trial and error I found that I had an alt account I had forgotten about and had thus not deleted, so I'll do my part in recommending and explaining Lemmy whenever I see a Reddit post without replies.

When trying to onboard new users though, the simplest process possible is ideal, so any confusion about using one website to load content from another, which is itself federating content from others, could be simplified via simply recommending an instance with built-in support such a frontend already.
