Oh, I very much agree with you. Haha, this is not a purely western perspective.

Initially joined via lemmy.ml. I was a little bit surprised that you had to copy/paste something from a text by Marx to join (I actually think Marx was a good guy and in many ways was way ahead of his time, even to this day, but this doesn’t seem like a good thing for users that are … how should I say it … less well read). And then I found out that lemmy.ml is rife with western marxist-leninist larpers and they support russia and the CCP. That’s one of the reasons I decided to start hardware@lemmy.world. I avoid lemmy.ml communities when possible. I would block lemmy.ml if not for that fact that many legitimate communities are on there.

I guess I could post a summary of my findings on !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca. Is that what you were implying?

This what I get via your UI:

In the default UI, it works correctly, sending me to the community via the specific instance I am accessing the content from (tried this with an alt not on LW).

This is so fucking difficult and I am technically minded and highly motivated to move away from US oligarch platforms! 😅

Yeah, it doesn’t seem to work correctly on all platform.

I would prefer a clean method where the display text is different from the generic (non-instance) specific link.

It seems the example provided by demigodrick results in a community stat page in your UI. This is an example of an error that you mentioned, right?

I guess I could use a [Text] - [exclamation mark link] style format.

Cheers! The c and dashes don’t actually seem to be necessary though though.

Wait a second, it is actually critical. I thought it worked c and dashes, but turns out it doesn’t?

So using the URL markdown syntax with the [exclamationmark]community@instance in the round brackets would mess with other UIs?

OK, yeah it does seem to work, at least in comments.

It even works with the markdown URL syntax (to have the display text be different from the exclamation mark style link/text).

Let me see if this works in the sidebar.

EDIT: it does work in the sidebar. The autocomplete really fucks things up though.

That’s a ton of EV communities. Considering the threadiverse has mere ~50K MAU, that’s definitely going to be detrimental to growth.

Calling them “socialist digital creators” is misleading at best, if not an outright insult to socialism.

They are marxists-leninists who whitewash the crimes committed by the USSR and CCP. They support the genocidal invasion by Russia, a country that is neither socialist or democratic; it’s an authoritarian capitalist oligarchy.

There is no double standard. You don’t see the CTO of reddit running a subreddit dedicated to whitewashing the Pinochet regime and/or western colonialism in Africa or Asia.

Reddit is run by sketchy and corrupt individuals, it is possible that in a just world we would even call them criminals. Lemmy’s marxists-leninists are openly supportive of genocidal actions and brutal authoritarian leadership. There is no comparison.

I don’t believe this is a Trump specific thing, at least that was the impression I got when I did get a chance to live in the US.

I am a long-time Ars reader and subscriber. I am not American, but I always found their articles on various public policy issues to be interesting and fascinating.

One particularly fascinating element is the callousness of the various “legal arguments” used to justify (and enable) various crimes/corruption schemes.

“I didn’t know this was illegal … it’s the fences fault … we sold both voice and data info, so umm it’s legal.”

Motherfuckers, you were selling real-time location of your customers to random thugs. By any real understanding of the term “justice”, you should be locked up for decades with full asset seizure.

No sane person would agree for you to sell their real-time location data to random goons. You know this and you dare to come up with this gibberish?

It’s not even so much the corruption/criminality that is fascinating (things like that happen everywhere), but the arrogance and callousness inherent to their world salad.

There is a reason the “forbidden fruit” concept was chosen for inclusion in religious texts. :)

This hasn’t been said just once though.

What is the point of this article?

Agreed. I wish the source page had a better summary of the research paper.

It’s all about the price. You need a use case where the bezel and gpio power doesn’t matter.

This is hilarious. They were a “leader” of sorts in this area and yet they still feel the need to copy Apple’s marketing style.

Perhaps that’s an opportunity, if you don’t think it’s a value trap that is.

The 6P was a really nice phone.
