Something that seems to be missing: Someone is working on an API compatibility/translation layer to help in porting reddit apps to lemmy and have already got some basic features working in RedReader. The RedReader (opensource Android reddit client) dev has expressed some interest in this along with the user base.

Honestly it is one of, if not the most, valuable communities on reddit. The fact that it just exists makes me feel a sense of wonder.

Same thoughts here. Went in expecting to hate it instantly and found that it sort of looked nice.

It is hilarious to see this happening. Option A, he could have just shut up, released a press statement and waited till this blew over, he didn't do that. Option B would have been to do an AMA, engage with people and say nice but meaningless things to placate people and do whatever he wants in private, he didn't do that either.

Instead he choses to host an AMA, copy pastes canned responses, edits his comment when someone caught it, ditches the canned response when a question is asked about the Apollo thing and doubles down, and finally leaves after answering 14 questions.

You really can't make this shit up 🤣

Jebora. The other one appears to be unmaintained.

Neurodivergent is a technical term that denotes that your brain is wired outside the norm. It doesn't actually say anything about if it has a medical diagnosis attached or not.

I found the second part kind of funny because executive function deficit, issues with hypersensitivity, extreme empathy, struggle with impulse control and so on, are all things that people with ASD struggle with.

The thought that Debian will continue into the future feels comforting. How cool it would be if in 5000AD kids on Mars or Europa are running Debian 100?

I see a lot of people saying let this happen. I acknowledge that reddit has also sort of lost their point but a lot of people have put countless hours into building stuff both on communities and as devs building apps like redreader and rif. I don't want to see all of those people basically lose all their effort and work because a company decided to make money.

I totally agree. Something I've found that works for me: Go to the communities page or tab if you're using the app and search for the community without the @thing. Communities with all matching names from all federated instances will show up there.

Hey I saw your reply and I couldn't really grasp how this would be so I want to engage in dialogue, feel free to ignore this if you don't want. I'm not looking for a fight.

I was on reddit when the bulk of HK protests and the crackdown happened. There were many people posting about their own government treated them brutally and violently to suppress the protests. What has struck with me was the story of a person who was lured to the railway station, forcibly taken on a train to the mainland and beaten until he agreed to sign a confession. Do you think these people sharing those experiences or sharing news articles highlighting their plight are somehow racist?

Now, I'm not a white person, neither am I Chinese. However my grandfather has undergone similar experience as a young person when he tried to protest against authoritarian actions of the government in our country. This makes me perhaps more empathetic to plight of people sharing their experiences from HK and sometimes I share this with others? Does that make me racist/orientalist?

Lastly, I've known a handful of people from China of which most were extremely nice and hospitable to me. Many of them are my friends. After seeing struggles they face under this government and their past experiences, I honestly want them to be able to live under a system where they suffer less. I really have nothing against people of China. They're amazing. That doesn't extend to whatever government they might live under.

Me too. The app has a classic feel to it that isn't replicated by other apps.

What I find funny is that if these people just did old fashioned ad banners at the top, bottom or sides of the page, I would leave ad blocker switched off.

• Technitium for more advanced DNS and DHCP (might replace all piholes with this or blocky in the future)
• Plex/Jellyfin for media streaming
• JellyfinVue - awesome frontend to jellyfin
• Bazarr - for subtitles

That is awesome :) Thank you for chipping in. I wasn't aware it was this far along already!

The last part made me lol. I really never understood how they use Bayes theorem to justify decision making in real life. Made me feel stupid for a while, but then most of the people I knew who were in the community didn't seem like really good decision makers either.

It feels like a cult at some level. With very technical jargon that a lot of people struggle to understand.

If you sort by hot or new instead of active on All, you should see plenty of new content. Won't see content with a lot of comments or discussion though.

https://tld-list.com/tld/com have some understanding of how this works:

• There's a non-profit organisation called ICANN at the top who basically controls everything and assigns TLD (top level domains like .com) and so on to registries.
• Registries host different TLDs and keep track of all domains under them.
• Registrar is an ICANN accredited company that can sell domain names. When you buy abcd.net from say Google domains, Google basically files your domain name with the .net registery.

As far as I know, you can't buy a domain from ICANN directly because they don't sell stuff? Only registrars can.

In practice there are registrars that charge you the actual price of the domain + a small registration fee (15 cents maybe) in a transparent way without any markup. An example is cloudflare.

Also in practice stay away from GoDaddy. They're one of the most horrible companies I know. Porkbun, cloudflare, namecheap, namesilo, Google are all usually moderately priced good options. You can find details of all registrars for a tld and their prices using tld-list like: tld-list.com/tld/nameoftld.

Hope that helps :)

That was an interesting read. This is a shot in the dark but was this community related to less-wrong (and HPMOR tangentially)? That's the only other place I've seen where it is sort of like this.

Hey! Thank you for calling out what they said. I had decided to not respond given that I felt I couldn't really engage in a dialogue after reading that.

Good on you for taking care of yourself :) I'm on my own ASD - PTSD journey too and it has been incredibly hard at times but I'm still here fighting it out :) Every small bit of progress counts.
