Cynthia McKinney?

Way more people than that have lost in the general election (hundreds, if not thousands), including Cynthia McKinney in 2008 as the most successful black female loser, but plenty of other black women have lost the general election.

I have my phone number on my personal website—never had any adverse consequences. In fact, the only two calls I’ve gotten have both been at my work number which isn’t on there somehow. One to ask a genuine question and one to give me 30 bucks in appreciation.

Note that that hasn’t existed in PHP for years.

Doesn’t npm have this already? I’ve definitely gotten requests for donations and various political messages when installing dependencies.

GitHub sponsorships are a way of donating to programmers. In addition to hosting lemm.ee, sunaurus has made significant contributions to Lemmy’s codebase. (In my opinion, he is by far the most skilled programmer working on Lemmy.)

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

ReactDOM.render(
	<div>
		<h1>My Site</h1>
		<p>Welcome to my cool site. 😎</p>
	</div>,
	document.getElementById('root')
);

Me too. I’ll take my salary now, please.

Edit: Lemmy stripped out my rickroll. :(

Auto-deleting posts has the problem of destroying any future benefit. In my opinion, the greatest benefit of Reddit is the ability for the public to find answers to niche questions but sharing discussions. Every single person with a problem for looking for an opinion, doesn’t have to find relevant people to ask anew for an answer.

Again, if someone wants to have a private discussion that people can’t just look up, I question why they would Lemmy at all. Something like Matrix or Signal is far more suited to that goal.

Even if it didn’t, that would be trivial for anyone to do with the API. If you’re saying things you don’t want people to know you said, don’t use your name. Posting public, discoverable content is the entire point of Lemmy. Hiding what you’re doing wouldn’t solve the problem.

This sounds like they’re copying Brave Discussions, which is basically just giving a little box with only reddit results near the top.

It’s definitely not an alternative to reddit or even its own platform. It sounds like just another conditional algorithm update, but I haven’t seen it yet.

As of 8½ years ago, you can’t buy keys from Steam, although they still allow developers to generate keys for use on other sites that still use them.

How would requiring keys to be declared help? The people using the keys are all innocent (or at least largely ignorant) buyers. Steam can already see who those are, but that doesn’t stop the sale or say who sold them.

The problem is rather the opposite. The keys are secure and their sale is decentralized, which gives limited control over them. People generate the keys with stolen credit cards, and then resell them. The postal devs are basically admitting they are giving up trying to actually go after the thieves, but it is genuinely hard to figure out which keys are legit and which are stolen. All your proposing is to make it impossible to revoke a key even if you know it’s illegal.

The actual way to prevent this theft would be to forbid merchants from generating keys at all, and go to a fully centralized model like Steam and Epic generally use.

It says he previously said the hull showed signs of fatigue, so it couldn’t safely make it down to the Titanic anymore. But then, they just said actually it’s fine and have been making trips down there anyway? And he voluntarily got on board himself? That’s brave if nothing else.

Yeah, it’s being made by Microsoft, so it’ll be on PC and Xbox Series X/S.

It can be. It just also can be a handy way to get pure misinformation really convincingly. (I guess that’s still not that different than Reddit lol)

Ecosia image search is literally just searching Bing through a middle-man.

As much as I dislike it, mainly Google still. Sometimes Bing for the AI help. Brave Search is also really good and the only new search engine I can see surpassing Google some day.

I think a Facebook competitor’s critical mass problem is much harder than then a competitor to Reddit or Twitter’s. The appeal to Facebook is that you have all the people you know on there, and you can share updates with the mall and see updates from them all. As the portion of your friends and loved ones drops, it’s utility drops proportionally. If everyone uses Facebook, it’s a great tool; but if only 10% of your friends do, it’s kind of worthless. You don’t really want to have to post photos to two or three different sites to really share them. Having one place to connect with everyone in your life is kind of the point of Facebook.

On the other hand, Reddit and Twitter are just random things shared from random people. If you randomly deleted half of Reddit users or Twitter users, I literally wouldn’t even notice. There about the containt comma you really don’t care about or even really know the actual people.
