It seems like a difficult thing to regulate. I hope that this can be a starting point that will be potentially expanded later as needed, but we’ll see.

What’s currently happening is that advertisers are pulling their ads from X/Twitter because Elon replied “This is the full truth” to a neonazi posting the Jewish question. I think if this is censorship, it’s a form I agree with. What advertiser wants to be associated with nazis?

I have Photon running at the same subdomain level as my main UI, but it’s easy enough to host both.

Unfortunately, the software for both running and displaying Lemmy is still in beta. While it’s still in active development, it’s probably for the best that we stay niche because bugs and stability issues turn off a lot of people permanently from the platform. That’s why I’m waiting until the Lemmy 1.0 release to really advertise, I don’t think we’re ready for that kind of growth yet.

Seems to. It federated to me at least, so it looks like it was saved correctly.

The company said that it will still have opt-out controls in “select countries” without specifying which ones.

I’m guessing that’s how they plan to get around that. They will leave the toggle enabled for people registered in EU countries, and disable it everywhere else. A fairly risky way to handle it in my opinion.

Indeed. The main thing I miss is the wealth of storytelling content, it felt like Reddit had millions of stories for me to read and Lemmy doesn’t have the same breadth of content.

It’s alright. It could definitely use some more growth, and it’s been a bumpy road with it being Beta software and with the federation issues, but I’ve enjoyed my experience overall.

That genuinely reads like satire. What an awful corporate model, extracting every penny out of the workers and consumers to force that line to keep going up.

I think the idea behind this is to spend your entire life alternating between periods of work and retirement. It’s definitely an idea I could get behind, though society now is not built for it.

For me it’s because I don’t use it very often, mostly just archiving stuff every few months or so.

Thanks for answering your own question, this is useful information.

I like the dashes, they make the options look like options to me.

I understand and sympathize with Rob on a spiritual level.

The answer is in the tens of millions but no one really knows beyond that. The Chinese population wasn’t well known at the time and the records from that era are poor at best. However, the Chinese government acknowledges that there were serious consequences to the economy and population during the great leap forward (here’s their English writings on it) and as Wikipedia states, a 3.5% death toll would have caused tens of millions of deaths and be considered a modest famine. Some of the Western estimates are vast exaggerations, but the majority of them (especially modern day) are reasonable.

Sort of. From what I’ve heard DDG can set up a tracking blocker that will block tracking attempts across your entire phone, but I don’t know exactly how it works.

I’m completely with you, on my computer I’m very productive but on my phone I can’t do anything work-related.

They really are the worst. You’d think a wiki site could place their ads tastefully, but clearly not with Fandom.

This is definitely an example of that.
