- Comment on Don’t upgrade Lemmy past 0.19.3. Serious/significant regressions intoduced. 6 months ago:
One of the big problems social and collaboration platforms is people go to where the people are, like Lemmings, with disregard to principles and ethics. I go to the ethical venues regardless of where the people are. Instead of feeding a harmful network effect, I would rather feed free and open spaces.

Did you report the bugs on the Lemmy github?
No, and I wouldn’t. I created this community specifically for reporting bugs when bug trackers are in bad places like Github:
!bugs@sopuli.xyz
Most people are indeed probably using Firefox
The cross-posting problem is specific to Tor Browser, which is Firefox based. But that one was fixed in 0.19.5.
I was actually shocked to recently learn many are using their phones, which often means 3rd party apps (and which would not have any of the stock UI bugs).
- Comment on Don’t upgrade Lemmy past 0.19.3. Serious/significant regressions intoduced. 6 months ago:
0.19.5 only fixes one of the 4 bugs. None of them seem to be mentioned in the change notes.
141 servers are already running 0.19.5
Ungoogled Chromium and Tor Browser are perhaps less popular than they should be.

- Comment on Would it make sense for a person in a "privileged class" to move from a red state? 10 months ago:
I think you would benefit most by moving abroad. Staying in one country your whole life is very one-dimensional. If you move to another country, esp. overseas, you will look back on your current boredom as wasting your life and you will regret not having done it sooner. Go for just one year. You can always return if you don’t like it. You might be someone who says “I went for 1 year, but stayed 5”.
But first move to a purple swing state like GA or PA for just a month or two, then move your stuff into mini storage. Two reasons: you get to experience a different part of the US, briefly, and you can register to vote in a place where your future votes will count the most. Because that’s the state you will vote in while abroad. OTOH, isn’t Texas on the edge of being a swing state? It’s probably not a bad place to vote from.
- Comment on What if Amish people immigrate into Europe. Would it help Europeans avoid the forced “digital transformation”? 1 year ago:
Great, so your hypothetical Amish have already been granted all their hypothetical wishes, so you answered your own question.
Not hypothetical. And wrong government. You also misunderstood the quote which was speaking of a general philosophical scenario.
A US supreme court ruled that Amish (who per their religion oppose insurance) are exempt from the social security system on the basis of religious freedom. The hypothetical is obviously unanswered, as it’s Amish people in Europe and not over insurance but over forced use of on-grid technology and forced use of machines that are more complex than a word processor.
How do you even think a European gov could have protected the religious freedom of the Amish? They do not exist in Europe. US and Canada only.
You only posted this trainwreck
Your trainwreck, not mine. I was after intellectual replies by folks with a bit more civility. The train wreck is purely your hot-headed emotional rant – effectively your #threadCrap.
and now that you have been mad and answered your own question, why don’t you bake some bread or do some other useful stuff after maybe deleting this whole episode from lemmy so you don’t waste other people’s time?
Why don’t you try to practice constructive use of your own time by writing civil responses - or not writing at all? Lose the hot-head, think about the inequality of religious freedom to religious people and lack thereof to non-religious people with an equally strong moral code, and try to come up with something that avoids logical fallacy. Even better if you can display a bit of inspirational wisdom.

municipalities still have to allow people to book on the spot, or help them on the kiosks available.
“have to” ≠ reality
-
If you go to the commune to deregister, you talk to someone who directs you to send the request via post. If you hand-deliver the request into their postbox, they simply ignore it.
-
If you go to the commune to reserve parking in front of your property for workers, they point to a QR code. If you insist on an offline transaction, the receptionist refuses. If you say that you need to pay cash, the receptionist says “impossible, because you must do the transaction online”.

When a group claims rights to practice their religion because being forced to go against their religion is unconscionable, and they get granted their religious freedom while another non-religious group equally considers being forced to live a certain way unconscionable, but don’t have the shield of religious freedom, how is that not a philosophical discussion?
