I'd appreciate a content warning or marking your post as nsfw when you post gore. I did not want to see that last panel.

Chess Grandmaster Hans Niemann did not cheat at chess with a vibrator up his ass in order to be called "that one guy". Use Hans Niemann's name with respect.

it would be great if they measured the results of opt1_idiomatic with _ => unreachable!(). In theory the compiler would optimize that better than _ => 0.

Oh great. A new flavour of regex, but it's less portable and more verbose. https://xkcd.com/927/

Why does the thumbnail say "Can = 10 years in prison" while the description says "10 months in prison for stealing a can"? This youtuber does not strike me as a particularly trustworthy source of news lol

Wait, what is the correct way to write this? "my wife and my friend booked a table" makes it sound like the wife was also involved in booking the table, whereas the original made it clear that just the friend booked the table.

Looks like they're missing Forejo and vervis, which federate using the ForgeFed protocol.

the things you like about Reddit didn't exist when Reddit was the new alternative to the enshittification of Digg. KBin is brand new and Lemmy was not much more than a tankie hub until recently.

KBin and Lemmy will build the communities you're looking for over time. The question is: do you want those communities to develop under the shadow of the same algorithms, bots, and content you see on corporate social media, or do you want something new?

it's more like suspending someone who has engaged in bad behaviour in the past and is likely/promising to do it again. if you own your own fediverse site, you decide what the rules are and how to enforce them.

the difference between the fediverse and the corporate-controlled social media sites is that you can actually enforce your rules against larger companies on your own corner of the internet.

For those who don't know, the strategy is called Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish. The phase comes from Microsoft who used this to (try to) crush competing document editors, Java implementations, browsers, and operating systems. Other big tech companies employ similar strategies.

Facebook coming to the Fediverse is the Embrace phase of this process and that makes Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, Misskey, and Akkoma the competitors.
