There is a spectre haunting the lemmyverse
Lemmygrad is already acknowledged by all other instances to be itself a power.

The Whole Fediverse is Wholesome [fixed]
Reply in thread
It's an expression that nods to the tendency of liberals to empower, enable and ultimately align with fascists against socialists, communists and the labour movement generally. There are a great many historical examples of this phenomenon, but among the most prominent are:-
The German SDP aligning with the remnants of the German Imperial Army and supporting the proto-fascistic Freikorps as it savagely suppressed the rising of communist revolutionaries at the end of WW1 in order to preserve German bourgeois rule
The reintegration of the defeated Nazi and Imperial Japanese leadership into anti-communist organisations and state organs in the new west German and Japanese nations by the triumphant capitalist powers at the end of WW2, including leadership of NATO by a senior commander of the Nazi Wehrmacht and leadership of the rebuilt Japanese state by one of the most brutal colonial oppressors from Japan's old regime.
Unapologetic support for Augusto Pinochet's murderous takeover of Chile by a wide range of liberal powers and voices, most ardently by figures such as Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, the former of whom considered offering him political asylum in the 80s and the latter of whom publicly expressed outrage when Pinochet was arrested and subsequently subjected to justice in the international criminal court for the crimes he committed against his own people.

Fucking lemmy libs
It all comes down to the mods, I suppose. If we have enough solid, socialist mods that don't take any shit then they can keep the libs in check. When large instances don't have that, the libs run amok.

Age Reversal Breakthrough: Harvard/MIT Discovery Could Enable Whole-Body Rejuvenation
Biochemist here, It's almost certainly an overhyped study. The operative term being used here is "potentially" full body rejuvenation is possible. It doesn't address issues such as administration of the therapy in tissues with virtually no turnover rate, including cardiac tissue, skeletal muscle, and nervous tissue. You cannot renew something that the body doesn't naturally replace via the cell cycle.

Reminder that this is a thing that could happen.
If this is legit then surely an upstart would cut the knees out from youtube? Vimeo would be well placed to just gobble up their userbase

Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?

[HN] Study: 87% of classic video games are not legally available
Reply in thread
This kind of thing (and e-waste in general) is why I think we need radical laws about unsupported hardware in general.
Agreed. Out of market for over a 10 years? The game is made public and preserved in a government library that is available to the public as a service.

Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon.

Take it from me, the British state is just too paralysed by corporate capture and broke to offer any pushback against corporations. They can't even afford to run a properly equipped and staffed police state, let alone enforce any legal proclamations they make against Apple.
