Back when they started on that, we were worried they were going to kill ActivityPub like how Netscape got killed by IE durring the browser wars. EEE (Embrace, Expande, Eliminate), adopt the protocol, expand its capabilities while including propriatary portions of code, and lock the competition out when market saturation is achieved.

The issue is that fedivers residents are a bunch of tech-literate weirdos and called this bullshit the second the news dropped, and are 100% the type of people who make forks as soon as something like that would actually happen. Piefed being the perfect example, this part of the internet is perfectly fine just picking up their things and making something else (and we love it here for that).

CoMaps has been my main map for a while now after using Organic Maps, and traffic calculation has alwsys been a downside of open source projects like these.

I recently stumbled upon Vela Maps, an open source app that uses Open Street Maps, and integrates Google Maps’ traffic analytics and place search “anonymously” (logged out browser queries). Not degoogled, but a nice option. How do they do this? What does the CoMaps community think?

Found this the other day.

@st0nebeard interesting. How’s the sound?

The bad news is: you can already follow accounts bidirectionally between Threads and Mastodon. The good news is: Meta did the bare minimum and seems to have stopped development.

@tigt whut?

With all the excitement about #PHP and other cyber security bugs this is a reminder that the #Debian #wordpress packages ship with an apparmor profile.
While not perfect something like that reduces the attack surface and stops a overtaken wordpress site from doing some stuff it should never do.

i have said before that MSD designated doctors are ACT party political apparatus and uphold an ableist culture of fear and austerity.

@fionescu That's an MSIE bug, I couldn't care less what ever happened to any Microsoft product, they're all virus loaders. I just point & laugh when they get violated.

There *have* been bugs in gopher servers, but not many, I'm reasonably confident current ones are secure, because they're so trivial.

@josephcox OMG THE OINKIES LIED?!?!?

Some of them seem hellbent on destroying American democracy.

Oh definitely. They’re the “destroy instead of fix” crowd. Like children. Children who don’t get that doing something like that causes MANY people to suffer/die and that you could, and likely would, just end up with something worse. They don’t care, because they’re immature, reactionary shitstains.

It’s like everyone like that who came here from reddit decided they still needed the conflict and vitriol

I think a major commonality with Lemmy users is being temp/permabanned from Reddit, myself included. It’s an awful platform run by awful people so a lot of the bans are genuinely unwarranted. But I have to assume that a lot of those people were banned for good reason and then they end up here with the same personality that got them justifiably banned from Reddit.

Looks like our servers are on the fritz again. Usually we aren’t out of commission for too long. Hopefully we are back soon.

Drive up prices, cram seats together so only 4’6” passengers are comfortable, bump up their bonuses, THEN bankrupt the company and blame their low-level employees for wanting to pay rent and eat.
