If you are in the United States, please use a tool like Democracy.io to contact your representatives and demand that they condemn Israel for these atrocities.

Well, their enemy in this war isn’t exactly known for not engaging in election interference.

I hope you’re joking.

Even if you made $300k a year (which is 5 times the national average), you probably wouldn’t have $267k left after a year of housing, utilities, living expenses, taxes, transportation, healthcare, etc. Cost of living in the US is terrible.

Spez leaves Reddit by selling to it Facebook, then uses a loophole in an obscure early-1900s copyright law to take ownership of Lemmy. Your mom is so enthralled by Spez’s ingenuity that he becomes your new dad.

That’s probably the result of Jerboa detecting that the link is to a Lemmy community and handling it gracefully. While that’s a great feature the Jerboa devs have included, it’s not how Lemmy currently functions with regard to linking to communities. Lots of apps and browsers don’t handle the URLs nicely, unfortunately.

Lemmy devs should probably implement something to natively handle URLs and “properly formatted” links in the same way. If Jerboa can do it, then it can obviously be done. Until then though, proper formatting helps unite Lemmy users across platforms.

TLDR: I get on a soapbox about cross-platform interoperability because I had a bad week at work.

freedom to customize the shell

This is always the issue for me – I ssh into several machines for various clients every day. All of those clients have one thing in common: equally strict and inconsistent policies about what packages you can use from where and for what reason. “I like this shell better” would never fly, sadly.

+1 for Planta. Definitely not FOSS, but it’s a great app nonetheless.

I’ve been propagating these things for years, and I had no idea they could bloom. That’s wild. Congrats!

This was very well stated, and I wholeheartedly agree.
