I sometimes admin. But usually not.
If you looked at the original github link, you’ll see that it has libadwaita (and naturally, gtk4) as a dependency.
This isn’t fragmenting anything, and adwaita already has good documentation. This is just another binding for another language, not a whole new implementation.
Yep, the other workaround that’s elsewhere in this thread is to set up an entry with a different authoritative DNS in the hosts file, allowing a single machine to resolve the old domain manually.
This could be part of a greater effort, basically asking other instances to help the users evacuate the instance and transfer their accounts, before running tootctl self-destruct
OP, this title is stupidly misleading and incorrect, you should change it immediately.
The Taliban seized the DOMAIN, aka the ownership of the queer.af name that people could type into their browsers, and their system would resolve into an IP address.
As the Taliban control Afghanistan, (see where the domain comes from), this was inevitable and the instance owners were already planning to retire the instance as they didn’t want to give money to the Taliban to keep it up.
The INSTANCE, aka the physical server, was not in Afghanistan, and still has its IP address(es), and so has had absolutely nothing happen to it.
It can also be used to make methamphetamine.
Damn, Steamboat Willie going into public domain really has Disney tightening the purse strings /s
As a Bay area native, I’ve never encountered worse drivers than the entire state of Maryland.
All but confirms
So not confirmed
go fmt has been a thing for almost 11 years
Hey, I maintain a highly popular (if niche) FOSS library. Where the fuck is my big tech paycheck where they bribe me into integrating with their product?
/s Silly take IMO, relies on cherry-picking popular FOSS projects where you can see “the influence” of big tech, AND then No True Scotsman your way into saying that they’re not allowed to participate in the development/influence of FOSS because… checks notes they’re the ones funding the project/putting money in front of otherwise unpaid volunteers?
If you end up coming up with a better scheme for things that has the actual practical effect of compensating devs appropriately (yes, that means at current market rates or better) for their work, then please let us know so we can switch to doing that immediately. I will literally do anything you suggest if it would achieve that end.
No, it absolutely wasn’t, as can testify anyone who actually had to work with it: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/the-death-of-adobes-flash-is-lingering-not-sudden/
There are lots of good reasons to get rid of Flash. Browser makers say it’s a top sore spot for security, performance and shorter battery life.

Usability means a few things in this context—simplicity, ease of use, convention, and accessibility. Flash was none of those things. It took the blank-canvas approach to creativity—which was great for the artists and illustrators that originally made up its target audience, but morphed into numerous other forms that it wasn’t necessarily designed for. It fell into overuse and quickly became abused by others.
I do think it sped up the demise of Flash on the web considerably.
That’s unironically an innovation right there
So others have already talked about how great Star Trek is. I agree with them, but I think that literally everyone has missed the point of your question:
It’s its own lemmy instance. It was spawned from the migration away from reddit, and it’s stayed alive since. So combine an active former-reddit community with lemmy and a good reason to all rally around, and finally the final ingredient of federation, and the Star Trek related rooms will always be on every server, and they’ll always be populated.
Yeah the headline is stupid bait.
They already built it. They’re trying to contribute the change upstream.
Which is technically “requesting higher core support”, but is a very obnoxious way to phrase it.
Fuck’s sake, people. Gitlab already didn’t allow search unless you were logged in.
This ain’t enshittification.
Fully agreed, hence the “most” :^)
I very rarely care for what most 62 year olds have to say about the capabilities about the theoretical limits of computation.
This isn’t much different.
Depending on whether this code is in a hotpath (and considering how “elementary” it is, I figure that’s a possibility), this could very well be a significant speed improvement.
Though I’d say that only excuses it if it’s truly an elementary function (and not one line as part of a larger function), as otherwise it’s unreadable garbage. But on its own it:
This honestly a very well-written article
Jesus fuck thank you, it’s so hard seeing a bunch of doomer shit in threads like this
