I can only defend myself with the good old “it is impossible to write a Y̶o̶u̶T̶u̶b̶e̶ Lemmy comment stupid enough that everyone will realise it is ment to be sarcastic”

Preprocessing source code is an awful idea and I wish it never became widespread.

I used to hate semantic whitespace, but I came around when I was using it anyway.

Please don’t.

The last line should really say “hold my potatoes”

They have forgotten the sacred scriptures!

“And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.”

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15

Thanks for the interesting article.

There is no way the fediverse can reimplement r/place feature by feature. A federated Place would have to be different. It could be a month long project ora even permanent one, probably with a slower update rate.

I like the idea of people seeing different things depending on the server they use and who that server federates with or blocks (https://lemmy.world/comment/1749093).

But maybe the fediverse should look for its own thing rather than try to imitate.

I wonder what the federated version of r/place would look like. It should not be too hard to create a collaborative pixel board and accept input from anywhere in the fediverse. But we would need to come up with some cool fedi spin. A chessboard, maybe, where every server has a square?

In the future, when the fediverse is more mature, it would be cool to create something.

That is a very good idea if you want to disincentivise yourself from using your tablet

I see your point, but I really wish we could go back to a more innocent internet, when people make slightly crappy videos as a hobby, rather than overproduced shows as a profession.

H2g2 would make an amazing show. And we could finally find out what happened to earth.

Oh my god, gpt has clearly digested tons and tons of teenage fanfic, I can recognise the style from a mile away.

Feel free to summarise it for us when you are done ('cause I ain’t reading it anytime soon)

They’ll get a lot of “dguhvdrhhfddhcbjgfbkogdwscvbopiyrcbkitdcbjitewsfgbnkoiggvgfdxvhgvbnj”

Hahahaha, but you should attach the image instead of linking to it, and maybe post this to programmershumor

Honestly I wouldn’t want anything baked into the protocol, but I can see people donating small amounts to the instance hosting a worthy comment if there was a simple enough way to do it.

Cryptocurrencies were supposed to enable that, but I think we are still a long way away (no, lighting does not qualify).

I can’t honestly tell if any of this really has a future, but it should super interesting.

They are two separate projects with similar goals (implement a Reddit clone). They both use the activitypub protocol, so they can generally interoperate. Other activitypub based services, such as mastodon, can also interact with either Lemmy or kbin, but in a more limited and clunkier way.

Lemmy was started first so there are more servers and more users, kbin is more recent.

Great news, now require the producers to standardise on 2 or 3 different battery shape formats!

On a side note, I wonder if there will be a market for slightly thinner phones with non replaceable batteries imported from foreign markets.

On Chrome there is an install option in the main menu
