Officially. But it’s not hard to find stories of conscript (18-20 year olds) who were forced to sign contracts and ended up on the front.

And I went to print the next batch - especially since today another batch of plastic arrived

Would seem they are.

Everyone wants a cool origin story I guess.

Also we moved from “that looks similar-ish” to analysis of fossiles and their evolution + genetic research.

But I, and thats a fact, know very little about that, and come from times when dinosaurs did not wear any fancy feathers.

Actually… a bridge between XMPP, Matrix and Fedi-based private messages would be interesting.

I would expect the pirate faction to intervene in EU parliement? Fediverse servers should be such a tiny fraction of overall EU server costs that this should not be a problem at all…

As seen on Red Dwarf.

No idea if this can be secure in any reasonable way, but one way communication based on cheap devices and available frequencies could be quite attractive for activist mass mobilisations, or disaster releasee 🤔

Had the same thought. Being ridden with tungsten balls or just random metal scraps, with normal car roof offering as much protection as a blanket… Chances anyone there survived that are minimal.

Would that factor in the [unknown] costs of that revenue? Running all the servers (incl youtube), offices and staff aint cheap. So more likely some is paying enough to leave 23USD on top of massive costs.

I’m quite disappointed thats not the theme of this article, and my evening is ruined.

Pretty sure there’s a bunch of Ukrainians seriously discussing FPV AA rockets by now.

Thats this centralised alternative to Mastodon with a madman admin? Anyone still uses that?

Outrageous. Time to pack her up and head for a obligatory 5 day family rave.

Yep, admins can give mod to anyone who posts to a given community.

“Basically, we’re in the process of replacing our whole social back-end with ActivityPub,” says Flipboard CEO Mike McCue. “I think Flipboard is going to be the first mainstream consumer service that existed in a walled garden that switches over to ActivityPub.”

OK, that sounds good.

Knew about it but first time I bothered to read it and there is a bit more than just that, but hard to tell if there’s any strong commitment. Have to wait and see I guess. Thanks for that link.

I just did and my lemmy instance doesn’t work on it, so that was a fast test. Also opening up new windows instead of tabs/bars kinda kills the idea for me. Still a single integrated piece of software to manage all of these funky protocol streams seems like an attractive concept.

I still have a lot of love for Mozilla, maybe since I’ve started using… Mozilla and even some of the recent steps of the management did not change that. But it would seem doing something like idk - integrating Fediverse elements into the browser, or pushing the concept further in some other way would be a bigger step forward, than launching an instance. Still good, sounds like a no-brainer to have one for staff/supporters, but does not push this concept as far as Mozilla has the potential to. Unless that’s an element of some bigger plan I’ve missed?

Seems to be a pretty hardcore place;
