This Bluesky user said it brilliantly.

So if you add carrots into concrete with poop, it will become even more stronger?

Concrete mixtures could be strengthened by adding nanoparticles extracted from carrots and other root vegetables, research currently underway at England’s Lancaster University suggests.

Preliminary tests by the university’s engineers found that “nano platelets” sourced from the fibres of these vegetables “significantly improved” the strength of concrete — and at a low cost.

So this FediHood looks like to be similar to Jodel, “the hyperlocal community” app that is popular here in Finland, or Yik Yak that served as its inspiration. Good thing! Some time ago I thought that a Fediverse version of that app would be great. Might as well try to establish some Finnish prescence on FediHood, because why not?

By the way, that markdown link isn’t working, I am getting an error page on my home instance.

This is how I would look at said bro.

I doubt whether the members of ZZ Top have real beards.

Ubisoft just keeps shitting on its baguettes, and the Guillemot brothers think it’s a good thing.

At least when it comes to Meta, I have nothing to delete. In 2021 I deleted my WhatsApp and in 2022 deleted my Facebook account that wasn’t used for over a year anyways.

David Cross is a great stand-up comedian.

I’ve been enjoying the last glimpses of summer with my friends. Really good weather to hang around in parks. I haven’t done anything really technical, apart from gamepad modding. And Sopuli is doing fine, one less thing to worry about.

I bet they’re blaming the ongoing COVID pandemic for every nuisance there is for the next ten years. And by pandemic I mean lockdowns and other mitigations, not the virus itself.

But Trump and Jong-Un already “fell in love” several years ago! Shouldn’t they just marry already? https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/09/30/trump-kim-jong-un-fell-in-love-west-virginia-rally-bts-vpx.cnn

Okay, I say that is a lot more concise definition for what you’re aiming for. When a website declares to be for “free speech”, it carries a certain connotation these days. Look what Twitter has become after it got bought by Elon Musk and turned into a “free speech website” for example. And good that a line has been drawn so that bigotry isn’t allowed.

What is your definition of free speech?

Don’t forget about The Edge of Perfection.

Regarding the decision, it’s quite a stretch to claim @supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz being a Nazi. The idea was criticism towards Israel, and apparently it got misinterpreted as antisemitism.

Looks like I have to explain what’s the reasoning behind the rule 3. I didn’t want to make a long list of exact kind of behaviors and organizations that are not allowed on Sopuli and clutter the sidebar. Instead I listed several known bad movements so that the users could get a good picture of what kinds of people are not wanted here. Nazis, incels and QAnon, they all share a really warped and hostile view of the world that is black-and-white, and violence has been associated with all of them. And “similar whackos” can be found by looking at what the ADL and CDDH for example list as hate groups.

I don’t think I use the word “Nazi” in a too broad sense like on Lemmygrad or Hexbear. In those places a Nazi can be anyone supporting Ukraine or a social democrat for example.

Thank you for everything!

I could understand hardcoded blacklists if Tesseract was meant as a frontend for a Lemmy instance tailored for a specific purpose, and not intended for general use. But this, to DDOS a website because the developer is a whiny baby who can’t take criticism? This is a new low. This is disgusting, and damaging for the Lemmyverse as whole.

I’m referring to the Web0 manifesto coined by Aral Balkan.

web0 is the decentralised web. In other words, web0 is web3 without all the corporate right-libertarian Silicon Valley bullshit.

Web0 is the way to go, not Web3.

I’d be interested in long-form articles about One Nation, as the party’s agenda has similarities with The (Rudimentary) Finns Party here.
