I treat my inbox here like my email inbox (I have 548 'unread' notifications).

I understand and kinda agree with the reasoning, even though I love middle click paste. At least they're saying there'll be a setting to re enable it, the first thing I do on a fresh install is install Tweaks/Refine to rebind caps lock as ctrl so clicking an extra toggle wouldn't be the biggest issue.

The reason is bullshit, for sure. They should have pointed to the comm rule instead.

I mod !uk_politics and I've seen good articles go negative just because people don't find the headline agreeable.

It’s rather questionable whether it’s worth it to dogpile the post with negative comments, versus just downvoting and moving on.

One, downvoting something can be a form of dogpiling and two, the mods clearly want disagreement to be voiced in the comments not through downvotes. This is laid in rules so I don't think this constitutes power tripping behaviour.

How is just downvoting something telling someone a post is misinformation? People downvote stuff over the most random crap here. Also, they didn't use admin powers, no site bans were handed out only 3 month comm bans.

Sure, it's a bad article that relies on iffy reasoning, but it manages to dress that up enough that I can see why someone might be duped by it. And it hardly seems fair to be this vitriolic about someone being misinformed and enforcing their comm rules when no actually points out what's wrong with what's been posted or links to actual numbers, rather than guesstimations of the article author.

Rule 4 of that comm is:

Don’t downvote because you disagree. Doing so repeatedly may result in a ban

All the bans are from people just downvoting this post (but people who downvoted + commented didn't get banned). Call the rule stupid or whatever, but this seems like honest enforcement of an established rule so I'd hardly call it PTB behaviour.

Nothing really, people just hate it because support for it is bad (which will be worse for AVIF or JXL, but hey ho).

Catbox is blocked by some ISPs irrc, could be that. It's not down though: https://status.catbox.moe/

APNG, which is technically not separate from PNG proper now.

I applied a patch to our Lemmy-ui to fix YouTube embeds, apparently I didn't have translations submodule up to date when I build and deployed it. I think it should be working properly now.

He told Wired in October that they're a current client, so no.

Weird thing to say for a guy who literally does PR for an 'AI robot lawyer' company, even if it is correct.

This, but unironically.

Are talking about a no-deal sexit, or a Norway-style sexit.

Chapter one also released in 2018 (7 years ago), so the game doesn't really feel like it's from this year.

4½ hours? Whoa look at sleeping beauty over here bragging about how much sleep they get.

You'll want to decide on a GUI framework to start as you'll have to design quite a bit around it. Rnote is a good place to look, it uses GTK+libadwaita.

I think it's fair to point out that tech companies in allied countries already use these mechanisms against British consumers, that the government hasn't taken action on it, and that making this out to be a problem unique to the Chinese technology industry is a misdiagnosis.

Tech companies have been using software updates to brick devices for ages now, amazing that MPs become frothing-at-the-mouth Stallmanists only when a Chinese company has this ability. The actual fix is to regulate the kind of software companies can install on devices and mandate that consumers can install alternative software (similar to the FSFE's router freedom campaign), not finding a digital autocrat that Whitehall finds acceptable.

The energy sector is not just about kilowatts and carbon. It’s about sovereignty, security and resilience.

Thank god the grid isn't owned by a bunch of shareholders that don't care about security and resilience, right?
