Non-AMP link.

This is the kind of news that plays in the background of disaster films before it all goes to shit.

Like a dickhead, I created a site in the UK, so it doesn’t federate with lemmy.zip. If more sites follow their lead, it’ll just be me and feddit.uk in our own private Fediverse.

We're not that bad are we :p

It's disputed, that's why it's a good argument question. Most style guides say it's midnight or recommend staying away from it. Just use a 24-hour clock.

I use Switcheroo which has convenient options to downscale as well.

Fair. I actually get actively mad when stuff puts me on a 12-hour clock.

There are so many things that we assume are unambiguous that aren't. Like, my favourite argument starter is asking if 12 AM is midnight or midday.

I didn't think is was possible to hate squash. Also, bourbons are an A-teir biscuit, with the added benefit of being vegan.

[The report] also said discussion of intergenerational fairness tended to "pit younger and older generations against each other in a perceived fight for limited resources".

Good take. Remember, the real divide is class not generation.

This happens? Most comms I see even with hundreds of subs rely on one person posting, normally the mod.

I didn't say it was private, I said it wasn't public, there's a difference. If you asked me what number I was thinking of I'd tell you, but that's not the same thing as the number I'm thinking of being public information. ActivityPub is, at its core, about consent. We have consented to having our data be sent to any person able to serve 200 responses on an inbox endpoint by using instances with open federation. We could, if that makes us uncomfortable, moved to a closed federation system where we only accept request from an allowlisted set of instances, with software that follows the spec's public addressing system.

The comparison doesn't work because both Lemmy and Mbin are implementing the same standard, while robots.txt is mostly an honour system.

You should assume voter data is fully public and fully open. It otherwise is in the federated ecosystem.

Information not being private isn't the same thing as information being public.

Lemmy likes aren't meant to be public, this is just other software failing to respect the privacy Lemmy indicates.
