they wanted to create a website according to certain rules rather than a free for all.

Let’s stick to facts, OK? They claimed defederating from lemmy.world and such was a temporary measure because of the lack of moderation tools and because LW allows anyone to sign up, opening the flood gates for bots, and those sites would of course be unbanned when changes were made. Changes were made. LW and others are still banned. BH were lying from the beginning. Good riddance.

Fuck Brave and fucks its owner Brendan Eich.

Don’t promote that despicable company in any way.

Quick googling reveals that it’s unfounded propaganda by the Signal founder: https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2022/03/07/telegrams-billionaire-founder-says-hes-never-provided-ukrainians-data-to-russia/

Serbian Dinar is only valid in Serbia. How surprising.

iTunes api, and if apple turns evil there are other list-o-cast apis like fyyd.de.

Whoever downvoted this has no clue. The Apple Podcast directory is currently unrestricted for any podcatcher to crawl and to get the RSS feeds. That may change at some point but for now it’s actually the best maintained RSS feed directory. The aforementioned fyyd.de is a good but less complete alternative. It relies of community submissions. fyyd.de itself is not an open source service, though.

Wouldn’t it look better for propaganda reasons to have at least some opposing candidates?

Yes, that’s why propaganda talk shows there always have a guest with a somewhat critical tone. Obviously that one always loses the debate.

Oh, you were actually serious? I thought we’re making dumb jokes here with claims of willy nilly dropping digits from a version number being significantly faster to type.

You could also drop the “.” in this case, saving another three.

Even better: drop the number.

In this context it’s just faster to type

If saving six characters is so crucial, type “.0”, “.1”, and “.2”. Massive productivity boost.

19.0 and 19.1 mostly, 19.2 fixed the issues.

The leading zeros aren’t decorative. Don’t just drop them.

Orban also made it obvious, walking about with a t-shirt showing a map of ‘make hungary great again’.

I’m not defending Orban, I was just clarifying that this specific piece of news is not about an official government statement but about a different party that’s also in the national parliament.

So LW is helping build it???

Don’t expect Lemmy.World to ever switch to it, though. Ruud sets up a new server for each bit of fediverse software. That’s why Calckey.World will not migrate to the Sharkey fork of that software and its users will only get encouraged to move over on their own.

Did they win? Simply suing isn’t the same as being right.

Crawling the web isn’t illegal. Google wouldn’t exist if it was.

Don’t post on the internet. If you think Meta doesn’t also crawl the web the old school way like Google also does to train AI and such, you’re seriously out of touch with reality.

Woopty doo you can’t see a profile yet they’re raking in every thread.

Just like Google, Microsoft Bing, and many others do with all web content as well. Good luck deferating from web crawlers.

Most are just repackagings of Debian and Ubuntu, not actual forks.

So when does it count?

When it actually works, duh.

https://lemmy.world/u/zuck@threads.net doesn’t display Zuckerberg’s Threads profile.

It does, just only with a few users. Been under rock?

Private pre-alpha tests with a non-public self-hosted (presumably Mastodon) instance doesn’t count. Threads doesn’t federate with the fediverse right now.

Admins know which forks are which

Sure…
