  • The OSI is a US non-profit, their definition is just one opinion in the market place of ideas. If enough people think open source should mean something different the meaning of the term will change.

  • If you didn't care, you wouldn't comment. I haven't read a single convincing argument by you. In fact you haven't made an argument at all. Instead you immediately resorted to personal attacks.

  • "If dessalines put their personal politics aside and stopped micromanaging their instance to push an agenda, we'd probably be on like v3 of Lemmy by now"

    This post directly calls Dessalines out on not working enough on Lemmy and instead focusing on moderating his instance. I say, telling someone else how they should spend their free time is pure entitlement.

    You don't like their modding and their ideology. That is a perfectly reasonable position. Your options are "stop using their instance", "stop using their software", or "fork their software and continue developing it without them". I chose option one and no longer engage with anything on .ml and the likes.

    Also, calling me "very daft in verbal aptitude" only debases yourself. Name calling will never convince someone of your position.

  • Just nuke your account and treat reddit as a read-only website. I use an alternative frontend so I can still follow the few niche communities that aren't available on Lemmy without giving reddit any of my data.

  • Its about how climate change will shift the climatic conditions of German cities towards the southwest, mostly towards central France.

  • None of what you said is in any way related to my comment. Still, FOSS doesn't give you any say in how the original project is developed. You especially have no say in how these developers spent their time. The developers built something for themselves and released it under a FOSS license in case somebody else finds it useful. You aren't owed anything. Your words might not even worthy of consideration to them. You can however create your own version of Lemmy. The license grants you these rights.

  • Why aren't you developing it then? Whether you agree with their modding decisions or not, it still doesn't entitle you to their time. He could stop developing Lemmy, delete the repository, and become a carpenter tomorrow and that would be completely fine. Dessalines literally doesn't owe you anything.

  • If anyone was looking for the exact quote its from The Two Towers, Chapter 2 "The Riders of Rohan".

    “’Riders!’ cried Aragorn, springing to his feet. ‘Many riders on swift steeds are coming towards us!’
    “’Yes,’ said Legolas, ‘there are one hundred and five. Yellow is their hair, and bright are their spears. Their leader is very tall.’
    “Aragorn smiled. ‘Keen are the eyes of the Elves,’ he said.
    “’Nay! The riders are little more than five leagues distant,’ said Legolas.
    “’Five leagues or one,’ said Gimli; ‘we cannot escape them in this bare land. Shall we wait for them here or go on our way?’

  • Just for completeness sake, the EU is currently in the process of introducing a similar system called ETIAS.

  • If you really do, blend the dried leaves from multiple plants. The psychoactive ingredients can be unevenly distributed throughout the plant. This means that you could unintentionally overdose without changing the amount you take.

  • Datura Stramonium cigarettes to be precise. That plant can give you a nasty horror trip if you consume to much of it.

  • Mozzarella is brined which is a form of pickling. So the answer is, "Yes, you can".

  • You can pickle pretty much anything. Vegetables, eggs, fish, you name it.

  • For all its flaws, on Lemmy there is at least the option of picking a different instance if you don't like the way your current one is managed. I also like that karma isn't a thing here because in my opinion it is one of the main reasons Reddit is such an echo chamber.

  • In Austria cats are sometimes jokingly called "Dachhase", which means roof hare.

  • The plan reeks of American exceptionalism and Trump is probably the worst person who could attempt to do it. With his repeated comments about annexing their allies and praise for dictators, who would want to become what is essentially a US vassal.

  • I have started reading 'The Master and Margarita'. I am only a couple of chapters in and its pretty wild already.

    I find it astounding that it is possible to run the old x86 Crysis at decent frame rates on an ARM based phone.

    You need to ignore engagement bait

    This video discusses how you getting mad at Andrew Tate, Jake Paul and other such characters is playing right into their hand. There are some controversial takes in there but overall I liked the message.

    The Dutch data protection authority (DPA) has issued a decision and is imposing a fine of €4.75 million against Netflix because it failed to adequately inform customers about what it does with their data. Netflix has already objected to the fine, but hasn’t yet appealed the decision as a whole.

    WSL documentation fix initially rejected because AI has difficulty understanding markdown tables

    It was merged after they where rightfully ridiculed by the community.

    The awful response to the backlash by matwojo really takes the cake:

    I've learned today that you are sensitive to ensuring human readability over any concerns in regard to AI consumption

    Today, noyb has filed a complaint against the social media platform BeReal over the latest “dark pattern” to get consent. When people open the app, they are confronted with a pop-up asking them to say “yes” or “no” to the use of their personal data for advertising purposes. [...] if users click “accept”, they will never see the consent banner again. If they dare to click “reject”, however, the banner will appear every day – until the end of your days.

    If you don't know them noyb is a NGO to enforce data protection laws in the EU they are pretty cool.

    Looks like the donation notification is working.

    Incredible, the last two months absolutely crushed on the first day of December and all it took was a single desktop notification. This is just the paypal donations as well. You can take a look at the data for yourself here.

    New KDE Goals have been announced

    blogs.kde.org KDE Goals - A New Cycle Begins

    The KDE community has charted its course for the coming years, focusing on three interconnected paths that converge on a single point: community. These paths aim to improve user experience, support developers, and foster community growth.
