Perhaps most controversially, I also think that, now in 2026, we can say wholeheartedly that theory of change underpinning free software (i.e. that copyright and licensing could keep enough actors honest to advance the underlying tenets) has been disproved (at best "undermined"). To quote a great prophetic text, "Rewritten by machine on new technology".

People are upset when the find out the Lemmy lead devs are like straight up authoritarian communists.

Mostly Third-Way-Reddit-liberal refugees who don’t realize they’re not progressive just because Fox News calls thier party “radical socialist leftists” constantly, these are the same people screeching that America only votes for leftists for Senate some places because there wasn’t another choice and that what b the country really wanted was moderate Dems.

Also the Piefed devs; didn’t they get caught hardcoding a block list into Piefed or something? I know there was a lemmy front end that did that (Tesseract; I made the list yay!) but not long after that Piefed got caught doing something similar but I don’t recall exactly what it was; all I remember was that I decided I no longer trust Piefed and I won’t use it. Shit I’ll try and search it and see if I can come up with a better answer

Most cool things are the product of weirdos.

@sarahjamielewis the people are still there, and most feel the same loss that you do. It's our job to rebuild that community on a more solid foundation.

@fruchti that i still can't tell you. why is anything in sdcc?

China did not begin the genocide of Palestine. It was on going long before Oct 7 and was started by Israel.

LOL. Dude, you are either disingenuous or clueless and I can’t decide which.

Being anti-Zionist isn’t being antisemitic. Facts don’t care about your feelings. Democrats have been just as bad, if not more in favor of Zionism as the republicans have been.

But we are changing the party.

@littlerao @librecast (small project I'm a part of) started on GitHub with the contributor covenant version 1.

We've had a couple of folks contributing and some stay around and some don't. Even that initial version filtered folks out.

But having a stance is important even from the start. Looking at other projects governance is interesting, and we're getting front row seats with the current LLM stuff to see how that holds up.

Hi all! I’m a queer autistic author with a disabled family to take care of. Buying my books and boosting my posts are a huge help.

I use unique speculative fiction worlds to explore the breadth & boundaries of relationships. Sweet, sexual, or platonic, my stories are always queer, frequently polyamorous, & sometimes kinky. No AI

My stories are quick reads, a mix of short stories and novellas with one short novel.

The House returns from recess tomorrow — and one of the first orders of business could be voting to impeach Pete Hegseth.

Tell your representative to support articles of impeachment against Hegseth for illegal military operations and violating congressional war powers: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-your-members-congress-impeach-hegseth/?source=mastodon

Nonhostile architecture!

Tankies aren’t republicans. And I am pretty sure they’re not pro-genocide. Or pro-israel, for that matter.

Something I always have trouble with when learning a topic is when the examples aren't any sort of concrete applications. Like showing how to use pointers with just some generic names, not giving any context to how they'd actually be used.

With this data analytics stuff, I do not like examples where they just generate a dataframe full of random numbers and then do plots with it. I feel like to actually understand the concepts you need something tangible to tie it to.

I can't find a clear answer: does OpenBSD support the Arc 140T GPU integrated into the Intel Core i9 285H (Arrow Lake)?
