“Although we are still assessing the impact, but overall, I don’t think it has any significant impact to our business and to our future performance,” Yang said. “So many other countries that have that kind of policies like Brazil and India. So actually it’s not a disadvantage, but probably an advantage for Lenovo.”

Yang went on to say that because of Lenovo’s global manufacturing footprint with facilities in several countries including the U.S., the company is more resilient and flexible allowing it to adapt to different scenarios.

[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.

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.

I would say Fedora, but it has a really annoying OOM freezing issue.

Damn, so this is how I find out we’re least trustworthy part of the commonwealth.

Has to be, no way SDF has 5 million comments.

Why did you link to a Mastodon post and not the actual article?

I’ve seen it mostly touted as an alternative to Substack.

Why would you go on a date with someone if you didn’t know their religious opinions (favourite init system)???

Just an fyi, but you’ll probably want to include the URL in the crosspost so people on the original post can see it’s been crossposted there.

Nostr isn’t part of the Fediverse? It’s not even federated.

He stirs a lot of shit on his Mastodon account and gets into spats with other fedi devs. Just the other day he got into a one-sided spat with the GtS dev because the GtS dev implemented a feature to randomise the number of active users, which led to goblin.technology topping pixelfed.social in the FediDB charts. He then accused them of doing this to undermine him specifically, of wanting to ‘de-legitimize Pixelfeds growth’, despite it being explicitly a privacy feature.

SDL3 is a set of C libraries for doing cross platform gamedev stuff. It abstract over platform APIs for things like window creation/management, input handling, audio etc.

Tumblr is now on ActivityPub

Is it? I know it’s been moved to Wordpress, but I haven’t heard about this.

Ghost can apparently be used to manage multiple blogs under different subdomains. Might be worth looking into when their ActivityPub supports goes out of early access.

If Vim is so good, then why can’t you browse Lemmy from it?

This meme was made by the Emacs gang.

As the FAQ says, the base protocol doesn’t use tokens.

I don’t care what the protocol technically makes feasible, people don’t use protocols they use software that interprets protocols. ActivityPub doesn’t actually require DNS, but you (correctly) say it does because there’s no software out there people will use that doesn’t require DNS. The point is you still tied human readable names to the blockchain, something absolutely not optional for social media software. No one is going to be like “you should sub to p/nrlaoii2nsl2, the memes are 🔥”.

NFT profile pics tied to a user’s plebbit account, because we whitelist the specific NFT collections to prevent NSFW profile pics

Who is “we” here and why do they get to decide what’s acceptable in my community (‘subpleb’ if you will)?

From the FAQ linked on the site:

Q: Is this running on ETH? A: the token is on ETH, the plebbit protocol itself it not a blockchain, but the app will use several blockchains, tokens and NFTs to recreate all the features from reddit, like usernames, subplebbit names will be crypto domains like ENS (and other chains), awards will be NFTs, tips and upvotes will earn tokens (can set them to your own token or any coin of your choice in your subplebbit)
[…]
Q: What role does the PLEB token play? A: The base protocol doesn’t use tokens, which lets people who don’t have interest in cryptocurrency (yet) use it for free, but optionally you can use any tokens to do many things, for example you can use names.eth (ENS, which are non fungible tokens) to represent a username or subplebbit name. You can use NFT images as avatars. You can use fungible tokens and NFTs (any token or cryptocurreny of the subplebbit owner’s choice) to vote, curate, reward, tip, incentivize and/or as spam protection (instead of using captchas, require users of your subplebbit to own, stake, burn or pay a certain amount of a token/NFT of your choice to post/upvote). A subplebbit’s name like memes.eth (becomes /p/memes.eth) could be owned by a DAO, and owners of the DAO’s tokens could vote on chain for who gets to be admin and moderator of the subplebbit, i.e. a smart contract/DAO can be owner of a subplebbit.

This sounds fucking awful. You want a peer-to-peer network, but decided to tie critical features to the blockchain, something arguably less decentralised than APub software.

It seems the bridge didn’t see the reply. Might be something worth making a bug report about. (Also, ignore the update profile entry, I clicked the icon by accident)
