Media Bias Fact Checker! Has Lemmy gotten rid of that yet?
TSMC uses the same lithography and same wafers and gets working chips. It's the fab process. Is it fixable? Idk.
They banned talking about the wrong kind of cat food, for Pete's sake. I'm still not over that one.
Meh. We have the Trump cinematic universe now, and it has scarier villains.
Rep. Greg Cesar (D-TX) replacing Rep. Pramila Jayapal who was term limited.
Old joke: Conspiracy theorist Ted Tinfoil dies and goes to heaven and gets to meet God. God welcomes Ted to the afterlife and asks if he has any questions. Ted wants to know who killed JFK. God says "it was Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone". Ted says "oh no, the cover-up goes all the way to the top!".
It's not about the code, it's about control of the servers and feeds. Decentralization doesn't just mean multiple servers. It means no single entity has special authority over the user community. That isn't the case with bluesky from what I can tell.
You don't have to be a developer to use Lemmy, yet it has similar features to reddit including search. Maybe there are sociological issues in growing its userbase, but not serious technical ones, as Usenet showed 40 years ago.
It sounds like mastodon still has technical issues . If Lemmy's were solvable, mastodon's are too. Otherwise, how did mastodon get built in the first place?
By that logic we should also connect up with facebook and 4chan, not to mention twitter itself. bsky is just another one of those platforms from what I can tell. It is fairly new so not yet blatantly evil, but give it time. We here are supposed to know better.
Salt Typhoon may have given them a clue.
