images on the left side would make kbin easier to read
I'll work on a user style for this, and other niggles, tomorrow.

We want your thoughts on keeping politically controversial posts in !politics
Those are all politics.
But, 4 months out from an election, pretty much every single post in !newzealand is going to be politics. There's no way to fight that, for now.

Stupid Question, not an insult: Why is kbin written in PHP?
PHP is huge and more relevant than you realise. There are many many PHP developers.
IMO one of the things holding the fediverse back is that not much of it is written in Python or PHP. Neither are "good" languages but there is a massive pool of developers and they're easy to get up and running.

Total rage bait. Barry Soper is trash.

Don't let Reddit kill 3rs party apps!

The risk of this happening is part of the deal when you play inside someone else's walled garden. The same applies to devs of 3rd party apps.

Any recommendations for a FOSS encrypted calendar that supports sync?
If I was trying to save a relationship, "FOSS and encrypted" would not be my priorities.
Just use whatever whatever is easiest for her.
It's likely you need much more than a calendar, though. Here are some more suggestions: https://www.chorebuster.net/blog/2023/06/free-cheap-apps-for-managing-adhd-around-the-home/

Auckland surgeons must now consider ethnicity in prioritising patients for operations
On One News this evening they were very clear that other factors (such as how long they've been waiting, how sick the person is) are still more important than the patient's ethnicity.
The key thing is that clinical priority absolutely predominates the score anyone gets.
https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/06/19/pm-defends-use-of-equity-system-for-surgery-prioritisation/
None of this was mentioned in the NZ Herald piece. Barry Soper, the author, is a political hack who should not be trusted. He gives journalism a bad name and discredits the publication he writes for. I absolutely can't stand the guy and am disappointed in anyone who uncritically promotes his work.

PSA: every interaction you make with various posts on kbin is viewable to everyone.

Often, the option to downvote is the only thing stopping me from getting sucked into some stupid argument with an idiot. It is a massive productivity booster. Downvote and move on.
I wish kbin would hide posts with lots of downvotes...

Will it ever be possible for kbin to federate with PeerTube?
I expect it will be - it seems to almost work already. For example, take this peertube channel - https://tube.arthack.nz/c/intertwingled/videos?s=1.
I tried a few different things in the kbin search and @[email protected] got a result that I could subscribe to. If that channel posts another video, it might show up in kbin. Will it be a microblog? A thread? A magazine? Who knows! kbin seems very confused about all of this.

Is there a way to improve Federation rate?
Lemmy has a bug where when you search it won't show any results at first, and then 10 seconds later it'll show your magazine. Are you waiting 10+ seconds?
