- Comment on Keir Starmer does not believe trans women are women, No 10 says 3 days ago:
I use the term woman and you knew exactly what I meant
I didn’t actually, I wrote that to probe out what you actually meant because I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
A blonde woman is a description of a woman’s hair colour and you know this.
And trans/cis is a descriptions of whether a woman was assigned female at birth or not. Woman is not synonymous with cis woman.
They have different names, which you yourself, use for a reason.
You give them different names, I’m using adjectives because the distinction matters in this context.
I am not denying the legitimacy of transwomen [sic]; nor is Keir.
But also:
This is exactly the same as saying transwomen [sic] are not women, because they are not. They are transwomen [sic].
- Comment on Keir Starmer does not believe trans women are women, No 10 says 3 days ago:
Should a transwoman have the same rights and respect as a woman? Absolutely. Are they the same? No, they are not.
‘As a woman’, a trans woman is a woman, different from a cis woman sure, but still a woman. This statement is fairly absurd if you substitute trans with another adjective, like is a blonde woman different from a woman?
Kier’s words are still not transphobia. There is no fear, dislike, prejudice, discrimination, harassment, or violence in his statement.
The prejudice is denying the legitimacy of trans women as women. ‘Adult human female’ is a dog whistle for ‘not trans’, so by asserting that a woman is ‘an adult female’ he’s saying trans women aren’t women (and that trans men aren’t men).

This is not huge. He is literally saying what the law says, which is exactly what you expect a prime minister to do.
Damn, if only the PM had the power to get the law changed.
The PM declined to repeat his previous statement “transwomen are women,” instead asserting: “A woman is an adult female - the court has made that absolutely clear.”
This is transphobia, seriously listen to him weasel out of it. He was asked if trans woman were women in general, not specifically for the purposes of the Equalities Act.

They are actually saying Tories apologies for being too pro-trans.

¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯=> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Just so we’re clear, what this crawler does is go through all servers that use ActivityPub known to it, and congregate that data to a list of known services (Lemmy, Mastodon, Piefed etc.). How is does that is by querying a standardised end point to get the instance info (
.well-known/nodeinfowhich will then point to a different path to get the actual info).For instance, here’s what it will collect for feddit.uk:
nodeinfo json
json // curl -s https://feddit.uk/nodeinfo/2.1 | jq { “version”: “2.1”, “software”: { “name”: “lemmy”, “version”: “0.19.10-feddit”, “repository”: “https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy”, “homepage”: “https://join-lemmy.org/” }, “protocols”: [ “activitypub” ], “usage”: { “users”: { “total”: 4184, “activeHalfyear”: 718, “activeMonth”: 485 }, “localPosts”: 25750, “localComments”: 122835 }, “openRegistrations”: true, “services”: { “inbound”: [], “outbound”: [] }, “metadata”: {} }The important stat here is the
localPosts, which is all the posts made by local users in any community, local or remote. It does not include posts by users from remote instances made in local communities. You can also see this data on the instance sidebar in lemmy-ui.lemmy.zip going down will only reduce aggregated stats for total posts by 47,280, as that’s what they report for their
localPosts. - Comment on [Question] What just happened to 4 million posts? 1 week ago:
But zip has < 50K posts.

- Comment on Great ATProto blog post on the reasoning behind their design architecture 2 weeks ago:
I spent a couple hours trying to create an account on pds.flamingos-cant.xyz that uses a
did:webfollowing the instructions here and the account at the end ended up with adid:plc, so IDK how you create a PDS with adid:webbut it’s clearly not something they put a lot of effort into supporting. - Comment on Great ATProto blog post on the reasoning behind their design architecture 2 weeks ago:
But what about the DIDs, the things used to actually identify accounts within the ATproto ecosystem:
But Bluesky has developed its own DID method, did:plc. Today, did:plc stands for “Public Ledger of Credentials”, however it originally stood for “Placeholder DIDs”, with the hope of replacing them with something else later. The way that did:plc works is that Bluesky hosts a web service from which one can register, retrieve, and rotate keys (and other associated DID document information). However, this ledger is centrally controlled by Bluesky.

Has world really not enabled parallel sending yet? That feature was made specifically for them.
Single mod who didn’t want to create a meta posts to ask for more mods.
But the sidebar does say to DM them if you’re interested in modding. Not wanting a meta post is weird though.

There’s also three Fediverse comms (here, ml and zip) like do we really need another one?
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Does it really matter when you can access the same content from Piefed? It’s one of fedi’s great strengths that different experiences can be tailored on the same platform.

You guys are a lot braver than me lol, I’d never run the Lemmy main branch in prod.

why create this post here instead of !fediverse@piefed.social ?
This community is much bigger? He’s asking a question so probably want the input of the most people possible.

Seems they’re all running the same version, or Piefed doesn’t tag releases:

Fair point. It probably hard to see this things when you’ve been in the thick of Lemmy for as long as most of us here have. It’s easy to dismiss not liking lemmy-ui because alternative frontends exist (written from Photon), but does that matter when the overwhelming majority of instances use it as their landing page.

There’s feddit.online and some personal ones I’ve seen knocking about.
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
What’s missing from Lemmy that would make it unattractive to the average user? Remember the majority of users don’t post, comment or otherwise interact with the platform beyond voting.

- Comment on UK government says anyone working in Britain for the Russian state will have to register and declare what they are doing or face jail 3 weeks ago:
I got the same timestamps with:
select name, score, comment_like.published from comment_like left join person on comment_like.person_id = person.id where comment_id = 16354453;
IDK, I just don’t think this is the pattern of someone boosting their comment (see !albumartporn@lemmy.world for actual vote manipulation), or at the very least I don’t think it’s Plinky doing it (he’s a fairly regular contributor to UK threads and this is the first time those accounts have interacted with his comments here).

I checked in the DB and the other Hexbear votes happened quite a bit after the comment was made. I don’t think someone doing voter fraud would wait 50 minutes, then another 15, to boost a comment, but maybe I’m underestimating their dedication.

At this point they should just hire the Heroic devs, I doubt anything they could build themselves would compare in terms of quality.

I haven’t actually played WoT since they added tier 8-10 light tanks, but god did I sink a lot of my teenage years into it. I have been really craving it lately, but I know better than to go back to it.

World of Tanks, which is pretty funny considering the image.
