The ADL also doesn’t recognize a sieg heil if Elon Musk does it. They do not exist to protect Jews, they exist to protect Zionism.

Nah, I had them buy me a used Mac Mini for $50. But you’re right: if they made me get an iPhone it would have been on them

Wish I could say! But many influential people in tech/media/politics are iMessage diehards, and she was no exception

In my case, I worked for someone who only communicated via iMessage. When I got hired they said, “Either get an iPhone or figure out some magical way to get iMessage on Android.”

Are there any launchers that have Nova’s 2 best features?

1. Swipe-to-open folders (with tap to open the first item in the folder)
2. Set any icon you want as an app icon?

I’ve tried Lawnchair and it was missing these 2 features. I will switch to any launcher that supports these!

I didn’t read Solrize’s comment as saying “There shouldn’t be paywalls,” just asking the very legitimate question as to how they will interact with federation.

Interestingly, 404 just solved something kinda related: they developed a way for subscribers to get a custom RSS feed address, so they can access paywalled articles directly in their RSS reader. TMK, they are the first publication to do this. I imagine they would do something similar for federation. (I believe that if any of the custom RSS feeds show huge traffic numbers, 404 shuts it down, but I’m not sure)

There’s a push to get OpenReads to work with BookWyrm

My Asus Zenfone 8 is still going strong after 2+ years. Case and screen protector help, of course

It’s not real but I don’t understand who benefits from faking this

This is a good scene

No 😔

I’m sorry, I’m having difficulty following your point.

That’s a really, really crap argument that is permissive of all kinds of cultural genocide.

Isn’t it the opposite? He’s arguing that work of cultural importance should NOT be in private hands. You might say, “Who gets to determine what’s culturally significant? And why do we trust governments to do a better job than private collectors?” Those are fair questions, I think, but then I get lost again:

A LOT of artwork is in private collections that by no right should be.

Right, that’s what he’s arguing too.

I live in country that used to “legally” buy and sell people.

Ok, so… You acknowledge that just because it’s legal to trade in something, doesn’t mean that it’s moral or ethical. So is that also true of culturally-significant artwork?

See why I’m confused as to your argument?

Eh, “Good thing we had dangling pianos to drop on the guy who’s been cutting all the cords on our dangling pianos” isn’t quite a strong argument for the pro-dangling pianos side

It’s just reposting ABC News if that matters

Thank you for this great tool!

Is there a way I could use this to find a Lemmy instance that let’s me interact with desired instances? For example:

• I want to participate in Instance A, B, and C.
• A has defederated from B and C
• can I generate a list of instances that let’s me interact with A, B, and C? Then I’ll move my account there.

Thank you!

My only wish is that they made a smaller version. I realize that that’s probably impossible, given their goals (smaller phones are probably harder to repair). But man do I miss small phones
