- Comment on Bluesky is more open than you think. 1 day ago:
azsky.app tries to use Bluesky’s feeds to simulate something like communities. I think it focuses too much on piggybacking off bsky content to be useful though, like forums and microblogs are different paradigms and a different UI isn’t going to change that.

Yeah, definitely messed something up with the lemmy-ui, here’s what their site actually calls:

I think this might be a problem with their lemmy-ui deployment. Looking at communities on phtn.app with a chachara.club guest account shows the right thing for local.
- Comment on Matrix is cooked 1 week ago:
Now you’re just moving the goal posts. You claimed the article was AI generated and assumed it was talking about a separate entity also called Matrix, when neither of those things are true. I also didn’t ‘just quote something’, I quoted the above article.
But fine:

Oh for sure, Fallout 3 Geoguesser would be hard. Idk, I just never had a problem navigating them, even if they were a bit samey.
- Comment on Matrix is cooked 1 week ago:
The article shortens venture capital to VC. It also didn’t confuse the Matrix Foundation with a VC firm of the same name, it’s talking about Element (formerly Revolt). Like, that article puts says this in pretty simple English, I genuinely confused how you could’ve missed it:
In roughly the beginning, there was two organizations that came out of the project: The Matrix Foundation and New Vector Ltd / Riot / Element. The idea was for New Vector Ltd to carry out the necessary work and bring in the necessary funding for the Matrix Foundation to thrive. Or well, so I’ve been told.
They had multiple funding rounds lead by the likes of status.im, Automattic, the AI and Web3 company protocol labs and others; You get the gist, lots of VC and similar funding also a questionable amount of “Web3” and bullshit generation AI. Element was then tasked with using that to build the software that would power Matrix.

Fallout 3. The criticism is absolutely fair*, but it was the first RPG I ever played and I’m still very fond of it.
* I never got the ‘metros are hard to navigate’ criticism, I never had that issues. Most of them are pretty linear.
- Comment on Pull request to begin to add ActivityPub support to the bluesly PDS 2 weeks ago:
Really cool honestly. How big it is is probably predicated on if Bluesky enabled it for PDS’es on bsky.social.

I don’t know if somethings changed, but it actually doesn’t. This lines would need to be
WithContext<SharedInboxActivities>>for that to be the case, and just to make sure I tested against a local running main and was able to send activities to it without the@contextjust fine. - Comment on Two Approaches to Solving the “Quiet Fediverse” Problem: Conversation Backfilling Mechanisms 2 weeks ago:
That still only shows replies the server knows about, this article is about making sure all replies to a post are present on all servers.
FEP-1b12 (Group ferderation) kinda already alleviates this, our part of the fediverse doesn’t really suffer from the missing replies problem, but it’s a solution that doesn’t work well with microblog platforms.

I not the most knowledgeable about Mastodon’s APub implementation, but having a look at the
Actorof that profile, it might be because it’s invalid JSON-LD. Now, Mastodon doesn’t actually do proper JSON-LD checks, you can follow PieFed profiles from Mastodon and they don’t produce proper JSON-LD, but they do include“https://w3id.org/security/v1”in their@context, and doing a code search of Mastodon’s source code does show some checks for if that’s included.Lemmy’s I am familiar with and irrc doesn’t even check if

I was speaking rhetorically about people like Reindorf, I didn’t mean to imply you thought trans people were undesirables.
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 2 weeks ago:
True, but I do still think the unfairness to disabled people is important to highlight, even if it’s just the principle of it as opposed to real world impacts. It’s important we don’t let them push ‘undesirables’ into disabled people’s facilities as that carries negative implications for both groups.
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 2 weeks ago:
When North Carolina and Mississippi passed anti-LGBT laws, that mandated trans people use the toilets of their assigned sex among other things, the Foreign Office issued travel advice warning LGBT tourist against travel there. Reindorf is now trying to introduce the same here and has the gall to tell trans people to stop overreacting to them becoming second class citizens by her hand.
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 2 weeks ago:
That’s not really fair on disabled people, their facilities are already limited and having a bunch of non-disabled people add strain will only exasperate that. Also, forcing trans people to use a special trans toilet will also out them in public and potentially make them less safe.
This is also such a non-issues, trans people have been using the toilets of their gender identity for literal decades and it’s only become an issue now, and only because of well funded activist groups, not any issues in the real world.

Looks correct, but boring as you kept it pretty readable, the total opposite of what a regex should be.

"^\\(?:\\(?:feddit\\.\\(?:i[te]\\|uk\\|org\\|de\\|nl\\)\\)\\|\\(?:lemm\\(\\.ee\\|y\\.\\(ca\\(?:fe\\)?\\|ml\\|\\(?:sdf\\.\\)org\\|world\\|zip\\|nz\\|blahaj\\.zone\\|dbzer0\\.com?\\)\\)\\)\\|\\(?:sh\\.itjust\\.works\\|sopuli.xyz\\|jlai\\.lu\\|aussie\\.zone\\|beehaw.org\\|slrpnk\\.net\\)\\)$"I am a weirdo who actually like regex - Comment on Fediverse Social Media Guide 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on Labour is set to formally declare it believes trans women are men, says leaked NEC paper. 5 weeks ago:
Reminder, the SC didn’t rule that trans people had to be excluded from gender segregated things, only that they could. Labour doesn’t have to do this, they’re choosing to, and even if they did, they’re the fucking government. What is the point of an elective dictatorship if the party of government is going to be so unwilling to actually change anything?

- Comment on Lawyers for Israel criticised for suggesting a reduction in obesity resulting from the war in Gaza may increase life expectancy 1 month ago:
“So we pointed out, secondly, that this claim was based on entirely unfounded speculation, which also ignored factors that might result in lengthening the lives of Gazans, given the public health situation existing in Gaza prior to the war, including the extent of obesity. These factors include the possible reduction in the availability of confectionery and cigarettes.
What a ghoulish thing to say, really speaks to how nasty this man is.
