  Surprisingly, one of the only groups to use this calendar IRL was a giant international corporation: Kodak

  Thank you for this great tool!

  Is there a way I could use this to find a Lemmy instance that let’s me interact with desired instances? For example:

  • I want to participate in Instance A, B, and C.
  • A has defederated from B and C
  • can I generate a list of instances that let’s me interact with A, B, and C? Then I’ll move my account there.

  Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fediverse for media organizations⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re talking news media, much of their worst behavior is rooted in the ad-driven business model. Subscriptions would actually help make things better. Not sure if there’s a way to leverage the fediverse for a subscription play, though

  Are there any examples? I’m really interested in what other companies use the 13 month calendar.

  I understand that businesses sometimes use a different calendar from the normal, but I think you’re describing the fiscal year, which is still a 12-month calendar. I don’t think there are any other companies that use a 13 month calendar.

  Do other businesses besides Kodak use this calendar? Kodak is the only one named in that linked Wikipedia article

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesse is smarter than what we give him credit for.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact: this calendar exists and was in use by Eastman Kodak for most of its existence:

  International Fixed Calendar

  Thank you. As someone who is very interested in Linux, and someone who has proselytized my tech choices in the past (“Everyone should use Signal”), one of my big fears about switching to Linux is that I’ll never shut up about it, and I’ll bore my friends.

  Thank you for showing me that there is another way

  I’m glad Risa is here for us when we need it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bandcamp... What now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, because you’re making a ton of sense. It’s not about Tim Pool, who is a dumb incel POS. It’s about the HUGE dangers of giving a company unilateral power to ban someone based solely on speech.

  What if Bandcamp’s new owners are more like Facebook? They could ban work that promotes women’s rights and abortion access, which is exactly what Facebook has done.

  What if Bandcamp’s new owners (or the owners after them) are more like Twitter? They could ban antifascist activists or journalists.

  It truly doesn’t matter how you feel about one person. It matters how you feel about principles.

  Huh? Where?

  This article has so few details. How do we think they’re pulling this off? Phones? A Flipper maybe? And then what?
