I’m confused. This reads to me like a pretty clear criticism of Urbit and Curtis Yarvin. The author is perhaps a bit more explicit about that here: https://theblockchainsocialist.com/why-urbit-failed-with-adina-glickstein/

Here’s a piece I wrote to explain my apprehensive stance on AI to friends and colleagues: https://blog.erlend.sh/non-consensual-technology

“Do you think billionaires should exist?”

This remains the easiest way for me to suss out someone’s fundamental politics without getting lost in left/right liberal/conservative binaries.

Does that mean someone from another instance that’s running on Lemmy also wouldn’t be able to downvote?

(Love this feature!)

Excellent decision! The simplest way to enforce this would be to require all comic strip submissions to include a source link.

Good question; that would qualify for me, yeh!

I’m surprised these images make it so high up on Lemmy when this place is (rightly) so culturally opposed to the stuff.

Thank you for digging up the original! The AI version is flagrant plagiarism and should be deleted.

Yes, there’s steward-ownership.

I need this on a t-shirt.

As of today it’s basically an open alternative to linktree. Read our blog posts for more about the big picture plans.

I suggested the official adoption of Photon a year ago. Xylight was tentatively on board with it.

Even more important though is this change which would allow an alternative frontend to be used as a default, instead of having to be relegated to a sub-domain.

Haha exactly!

Would love to hear about it when it’s out!

That sounds really interesting! We’re building an OIDC server for indies with Weird – please feel free to come by and chat with us: https://blog.muni.town/muni-town/

Exactly!

It’s not about Totalizing Enforcement. What it changes is the cultural norm. Not right away but over time.

An age limit on alcohol never stopped anyone of any age to acquire alcohol, but it sets the societal bar for what’s acceptable. You don’t wanna be the parents that gave your kids alcoholic beverages at 13.

It’s always a little jarring how everyone very readily believes that the Scandinavian countries are the happiest in the world, but won’t believe that the incremental policy changes we implement here have any effect 🤷‍♂️

Appreciate the review! I’ve forwarded it to the dev :)

Studies have identified some of the main sources of microplastics as:

• plastic-coated fertilisers
• plastic film used as mulch in agriculture

WTF?

• plastics recycling.

Uuuuh…

Yeah I get that. What ‘works’ means in the context of local-first is flexible though. This might provide a useful framing: https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2023/offline-is-online-with-extreme-latency/

In any case, you’re definitely right to focus on your specific use case first without trying to fit it into any specific paradigm. I’m excited to follow Habitat’s progress!

This sounds great!

Are you familiar with the local-first tenets? Seems like a natural fit for the local nature of your app:
