What about that but as a sausage?

Elon: Let the free market decide.

Free Market: *decides*

Elon: Wait, no, not like that

Fuck yeah Mosquito Genocide crew!

Almost, but needs a few tweaks:

• Content should be border-to-border in the 2000 panel.

• Needs to be 3 lines of content in 2010 and only two lines of content in 2018.

• 2018 needs a slide-over autoplay video on the bottom-left of the content space.

Porn. The porn side of Twitter is still intact and really quite… okay I was gonna say “wholesome” but maybe I should say “holesome”? Ehh? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

…anyway.

That said, a lot of adult content creators have been creating accounts on bsky once they get invites. If bsky opens up more there could actually be an exodus.

Weird Al still wholesome after all these years.

OP’s home instance is the second-worst in terms of questionable defederations (the worst being beehaw). I used to have an account on lemmy.world but stopped using it once they blocked anything even remotely Piracy-related for that exact reasoning you’re talking about. Just switched to using this instance and Kbin and problem solved. Worst part was re-subbing to all the communities I’d been following. Pretty painless all things considered.

Defederation has its place but some instances really overuse it.

Depends on what counts as “better”.

Better quality? WAV, since it’s lossless.

Better efficiency? OGG (well, Vorbis) since it compresses pretty well, but you’ll still get a (minor) loss in quality.

That said, both of those formats are old news and should only be used if you have weird, specific compatibility needs. For lossy compression, OGG/Vorbis has been succeeded by Opus; it’s what YouTube uses, compresses fantastically, and is supported by damn near everything. For lossless, FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is still the gold standard: you can reduce file sizes by as much as 60% with literally zero loss in quality. If you can, use one of those.

Ah yeah I remember this. I also remember a few of the pushshift devs getting butthurt that pullpush forked their source code and “stole” it, despite the license they use explicitly allowing that. Look, if you don’t want people reusing your code then don’t publish it somewhere publicly accessible under a license that allows reuse.

This SubredditDrama thread touches on it, just so no one thinks I’m talking out my ass.

This just feels like a repeat of Rural Electrification: yeah it’s expensive and not immediately profitable, but we’re at the point where it’s necessary to be a part of modern society.

I’ll be blunt: the fact that they’re opposing it makes me even more supportive of it.

RTF is a rarity these days since basically every phone, tablet, and other handheld device can handle either PDFs or HTML (and ePub is basically just a ZIP file with HTML in a specific naming scheme and structure). Back in the day though you’d find RTFs more often for use in budget/jury-rigged eReader options. It’s much easier to parse, if nothing else.

Windows not having a built in free RTF editor is notable

Yeah, that is a bit odd, but then again when’s the last time you’ve seen something other than a cut-rate eBook in RTF? Everything is either some variant of plain text or a DOC file these days.

Plus, it’s rare that you ever need to edit RTF files. Read, sure, but that could be handled by Word Viewer, which is free.

EDIT: Right, they’re discontinuing the viewers, but apparently they have a cloud-based online thing that’s free? Sucks if you live somewhere with crap internet I guess.

It’s nowhere near as bloated as Word but you have many more options than Notepad when it comes to formatting and presentation. It’s actually impressive how much you can do within the limits of RTF.

On windows it’s Settings > Themes, then click the “Mouse pointers” item. That should bring up the Pointers tab of the Mouse Properties window. Then it’s just a matter of getting .ani or .cur versions of the pointers you want.

The “block instance” feature is apparently in the pipeline for Lemmy.

Kbin currently allows you to block entire instances, so that’s nice.

I imagine Threads is gonna defederate from a lot of instances on their own. Any instance based around NSFW content or which even allows discussion of piracy will be blocked pre-emptively.
