I don’t want to save the liberal democracy, thanks.

Actually, I’d say the fediverse nature is pretty much contrary to liberal values, at least in the state it exists right now with most instances being maintained by volunteers and donations, not corporations (let’s obviate Threads for the moment because there’s no full federation)

I’d say that Threads or the former Twitter allign far better with the values of liberalism, being for-profit private companies.

liberalism aligns with capitalism. most progressives are anticapitalist.

sure, liberals are normally progressives too, the counterpart of the moderates and the conservatives which are all capitalists, but they are usually perceived as not real progressives by the socialists, etc.

they should have specified in the title anyway.

Mostly CMUS. Clementine on rare occasions.

this is plain stupid. sodium is far far more common in the earth than lithium. if you’re worried about sodium not being renewable, then by that logic you should stop using lithium batteries right now.

you need Google to tell you what safe and what’s not? have you ever used a desktop operating system where you usually install programs from different sources?

that’s not what the top comment was talking about. this is replacing the whole battery, not cells within the battery. it doesn’t help with reparability at all.

Win, f, i, enter

It’s literally the same with most Linux’s DEs. And even in Window Managers when using dmenu or rofi.

you’re right. apparently the article was referring to the sustainability of the interior materials. that makes the title misleading.

The main Lemmy developers very often don’t have the biggest clue of what they’re doing

this doesn’t sound constructive criticism to me.

that commenter has something personal against the devs. Lemmy is far from perfect but it’s functional and improving everyday.

for the most part federation works just fine. there are occasional issues, yes, but it’s not like it can’t federate at all.

I’m just saying that some guy commenting on a blog is not a good reason not to try.

The good reason not to try is that bullet trains have proved working perfectly in other parts of the world. Sure, they would be slower than an hypothetical hyperloop but they are a working technology that would help alleviate the transportation problem.

Why invest in a project that might lead nowhere?

I’m not anti experimentation, by any means. It’s just that as the article says, the hyperloop was proposed when a bullet train was being discussed by local politicians.

OpenSSH website looks perfectly legitimate. It’s quite similar to the site of the project that brought it to life, OpenBSD.

It’s also a very good looking website, no mobile or material-design bullshit where websites look all the same. It’s a very nice classy looking site.

this is bullshit. terraforming Mars or any other place in the solar system is going to cost orders of magnitudes more than solving earth problems. and no, we’re not even close to interstellar travel

user-defined filters

that’s what makes uBO better than any other adblocker. I’m not surprised Google wanted to get rid of it.

I’ll stick to Firefox based browsers.

have inbuilt adblockers that aren’t extensions

yeah but they are way less powerful than uBlock Origin. I tried Brave, just out of curiosity, and shields is a crippled uBO.

yeah, no ads, no algorithms, no shitty monetisation attempts, no central authority limiting how people can access it, tons of different clients to choose from, etc.

by “RSC” do you mean RCS? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Communication_Services

this analogy does not make any sense.
