@mattblaze I assume these charges will resurface in January
@Nonya_Bidniss No doubt. But it's a sad commentary on the current state of affairs that Hegseth still has a job. Under any other president, he'd hae been out before the vote even happened.
Coming up at DNA Lounge!
Today, millions of people across Spain participated in a general strike that shut down highways, shopping districts, and factories.
The general strike in Spain echoes the general strike that occurred in Minnesota last January in protest against the ICE occupation. In both cases, momentum began in the streets and then spread to the unions—not vice versa.
In other words, all powerful movements start at the grassroots.

good morning everyone 🌞
Our company has today off, so I decided to dedicate it to working on some of my open source projects, only to find that GitHub is now experiencing a major outage with the systems I was hoping to use, mainly GitHub Actions.
🤦
@ramsey It would be easier to say on which days they do not experience some kind of outage.
Every time I think Pete Hegseth couldn’t possibly bring any more shame onto this country than he already has, the bastard finds a way

@jalefkowit to put it into words of an American lady i once knew: no manners, no class.

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

Lemmy is already struggling with many of the same issues as Reddit; poor and / or objectionable moderation or moderators, bots and bot activity, politically motivated disinformation, groupthink, brigading, and censorship.
Scale makes the problems more noticeable because it makes them happen more frequently but it doesn’t create the problems. It’s the same with Commercialization, it’s doesn’t create those problems it simply highlights them.

Fedi please help me where are my blue trousers
@TheBreadmonkey Did you find them?
@Cheeseness I have been thinking about getting a bee cheeseburger tattoo (this one, to bee precise)
@bean Ah, the beesburger, classic
Have you considered that I'm very excellent
@aurynn indeed
One thing I will say about Germans is that, since it’s normal to be lifetime renters there, it’s also normal to take your stuff with you when you move. Furniture, solar panels, kitchen.
Australians, you think I’m joking about the kitchen.
@futzle I had a friend move to Germany for a year or so some while back. She already knew about the kitchen thing but all of us in her friend group learnt something new...
My mate pointed out that my current girlfriend has the same chin as the late Bruce Forsyth. Trouble is, he's right and I never really noticed. Now every time we have sex I imagine her saying "didn't you do well" in his voice. I think this relationship is doomed.
@fesshole Is it more Bruce Forsythe or Jimmy Hill?
Thomas Massie is a terrible lawmaker, and I'm glad to see him go, but his articles of impeachment against Hegseth are devastating and self-evident. It is to the current House's great shame that it failed.
Under normal circumstances, even a single one of these charges would result in the secretary's resignation or firing. But under the current president, the only grounds for that are disloyalty (to him). War crimes are just part of the job.
@mattblaze I assume these charges will resurface in January
@wavejumper3 @xoagray Could be about any, but right now my meaning was seeing web apps that are clearly made by small community folks, like fedi folks, but not even linking to a fedi account.
And I can't go, "hey, yall should use this thing" when a big part of how people judge things is based on the personalities/views/etc of the people involved.
@wavejumper3 @xoagray Also I like your site, it's neat!
Wonder if anyone here has information or could point to a resource on how a CERA Spanish national might be able to vote outside of their consular area.
My son has Spanish citizenship and is registered as a CERA but is currently in southern France.
Not sure if there is a Spanish consulate nearby where he could vote, or if popping across the border would be easier if it is possible to vote at any polling place in Spain. We are registered as voters in Valencia.
He has only just become of age to vote, and he feels strongly enough about what is happening in Spain to want to participate.
@chris as a Spaniard living abroad, he should’ve received all the docs for voting in a consulate, with that documents he can go to any consulate I think and vote there afaik
Seattle and the state withstood a raft of conservative criticism for taking a principled stand on mass surveillance.
Yet some how in 2026 in the year of Flock and even conservatives flipping positions on privacy the local neo-liberals decided now is the time to abandon principles in exchange for a misguided promise of safety.

The right leaning Seattle press is already celebrating the victory of Mayor Wilson's pro-Police lurch right.
What's the VERY first thing the conservatives who don't even live in Seattle want out of the CCTV program?
A crack down on 1st amendment protests they disagree with of course!

@mcc To be clear, there's only a distinction here when you are in *OOM* condition. In Linux, first access is when you discover you are OOM, and your process takes a page fault, or is simply killed. You can make this deterministic by calling mlock() but then (depending on your global OOM config) that may only serve to make your process get killed at that function call.
@jripley This is very educational. However, for purposes of my task today, imagine we care very much about BSD derived systems (MacOS 10+, and a second platform I am forbidden from speaking the name of aloud) and very little about Linux. Does your advice change?
