Everything Wordpress is heavily infested with that. However you don't have to let it impact you -- it kind of looks to me like they pressure commercial vendors to put their stuff under the GPL if they're wanting to offer a free version, so there's a robust ecosystem of actually-FOSS tooling for it. My experience has been that it's always worked pretty well in practice; you just have to keep your nope-I'm-not-paying-for-your-paid-version goggles firmly affixed. (Also, side note, GPT does an excellent job of writing little functions.php snippets for you to enable particular custom functionality for your Wordpress install when you need it.)

Wordpress 1,000% (probably coupled with WooCommerce but there are probably some other options)

I honestly don't even know off the top of my head why you would use anything else (aside from some vague elitism connected to the large ecosystem of commercial crap which has tainted by association the open source core of it) -- it combines FOSS + easy + powerful + popular. You will have to tiptoe around some amount of crapware in order to keep it pure OSS though.

I have no real idea with Navalnvy, and only dim memories of news reports about Magnitsky which went into a little more detail, but I'll tell you how I assume it operates: It's basically mistreatment to the point that it'll kill you, just slowly. Your cell's cold all the time, in the arctic winter with no blankets. You get bad food and bad sleep and beatings and no medical care of any kind. Once your body starts to malfunction (Magnitsky started having kidney failure), they go on beating you severely enough to cause additional organ damage, but then just continue to put you in your cell day after day with no medicine. Basically, you're going to die, but they're drawing the process out enough that it's indirectly, because of "medical issues" related to what they're doing to you, instead of just from blunt force trauma or something. So it's incredibly painful and long and drawn-out, a slow death of constant suffering from which you can't escape or get any relief.

Not a map, but things I've seen on the roads in Boston:

  • Left turn only from left lane, straight or left from 2nd lane, straight or left from 3rd lane
  • Green light and perpendicular traffic coming to me on the cross street, also going, because they also have a green light
  • Two lanes, surprise! Lane markers go away it's one lane, not defined who yields, you guys can work it out

He's just trying to help you, dude. lemmy.world is by far the biggest instance; 3x the users of the next biggest instance and much more than most. But, lemmy.world is also defederated from some notable instances like beehaw and hexbear. Another instance which also has in the tens of thousands of users (enough to be subscribed to "most stuff") might well give you better search results.

You may decide that the defederated-from-here instances aren't worth bothering with, with some justification, but you came in asking for help, he's trying to help you, and you're lecturing him about what's what. 🙄

Lemmy.world has by far the most number of users. OTOH, it's defederated from some notable instances, so you might be better off using one of the dedicated search sites if you want to cast the widest net.

I don’t even know about that, because instead of the article I got my App Store opened up demanding that I install Phantom Surfer Browser to protect me from viruses.

Not since late last year they’re not. They spent early 2023 winning back the north of the country, then had a summer counteroffensive which captured essentially 0 of the East, then over winter they got nothing in terms of the ammunition and weapons aid they’d need to have to fight against an opponent which can outproduce them 20:1. They’re now desperately trying to hold the front line even though after 3 months of nothing they’re basically out of ammunition.

The big aid packages out of the US and EU are stalled apparently indefinitely. There’s that little package from the UK which hopefully will help a little, but unless the GOP stops being compromised by Russia sometime soon, it seems like they might be in real trouble.

I think it's fair to say that rape is not an official government position. I think it's also fair to say that some instances of rape of Palestinians by Israeli forces have been part of the outcome of the occupation of Gaza.

My being honest about the idea that, in the light of what I currently understand, I probably wouldn't include rape in my comment and only the other crimes, doesn't mean it's suddenly not happening, or that Israel's not responsible for turning loose in Gaza a force of people who in addition to other atrocities seem to sometimes rape people.

Get all condescending about "reality" if you like. It's still happening. Tell me it's not.

[-] mo_ztt@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I literally just now realized you're probably right.

[-] mo_ztt@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

All crimes they've committed? Yes.

It seems like just recently, everything broke. Posts from some other instances (Lemmy 0.19 or kbin) aren't showing up here reliably anymore, and then sometimes posts from a few days ago will suddenly show up. kbin.social has a banner talking about unusual "problems" without going into detail.

Does anyone know what's going on or why? I've heard that Lemmy 0.19 has a problem where its outbound federation queue will sometimes die until it's restarted manually, but that doesn't seem like it should affect a lemmy.world <-> kbin interaction. Is it just Lemmy 0.19, or just lemmy.world, or are there multiple issues, or what gives?

Out of curiosity I went to exploding-heads.com and it looks like it's not working anymore. Is there a new place they hang out now? Are they undercover on the regular servers or something? It'd be a little surprising to me if they all just gave up on being active on the Fediverse.

I spent years of my life programming C++ for a living. Now I've been away from it for a while, every few years I look back at it and every time it's gotten a little worse.

The latest installment: Instead of implementing a good way for managing object lifetimes, or better runtime introspection, or looser coupling between large modules, they've been spending time and effort on bringing some things back that used to work, but that they'd decided they needed to ban, just now with different syntax than what used to work before. Hooray!

I'm working on a little project that would benefit from using QUIC, I think, but I need both client and server side and I'm finding it hard to find a drop-in solution I can make use of.

  • OpenSSL seems to only support client side
  • Chromium's implementation says it's just for testing and not performant at scale (although I'm not sure what their frame of reference is when they say that, for me it might be fine)
  • I'm not real sure that I want to go the route of msquic or s2n-quic

Can anyone recommend a good solution for this? Or is FOSS support for it just not available quite yet?

It's like the dude who's come over to ask for money, making a low-effort attempt to be friendly first, and talk to you like he's your buddy.

Errors in the links ("Try our report form", "Better late than never", "Block user", maybe some others) were in the original. I triple-checked them because at first I thought my markdown translation was to blame. Nope.

Is there such a thing as an application that attempts to talk with the various ActivityPub-implementing tools using their own implementation of ActivityPub?

E.g. you can see posts from Mastadon users as posts, and replies go to the users, and also you can see whole posts from Lemmy communities as posts in the same way, and pop open all the replies if you want to expand the post, and if you reply it, it shows up as a post in Lemmy? I tried subscribing to Lemmy communities from a Mastadon instance, and the implementation definitely isn't ideal.

I'm aware that this is usually not really the right way to approach this problem (basically, ActivityPub should be more strict than it is, so that this happens automatically), but since this is the landscape we have, is there any single app that attempts to navigate it and provide a single good user experience?
