  • Two Linux Distributions I'm Watching Closely in 2026

  • Oh I don't do that for that, there's multiple reasons, but one of the bigger ones is to promote smaller instances because of the volume of posting it makes smaller instances more recognizable.

    Other reasons for the multitude of accounts include making comms on fitting smaller instances (I make programming related comms on programming.dev or retro related on retrolemmy for example), protecting against the imposter problem and better interconnecting wayward smaller instances (you'd be surprised at the number of, even common comms, that smaller instances are missing out on that I discover just through my posting)

  • I do crosspost all .ml content and tag the user if it's OC, as part of boycotting efforts against .ml. It shows in the crosspost section of your client

    Not that it's relevant in this particular case, this is my own sourced article not posted before to the Threadiverse

    I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

    "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

    I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

    On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

  • Domain registrar NameCheap bans Zionism Observer website two weeks promoting new Israeli linked CEO Hillan Klein

  • If it's just a domain, you can transfer registrars pretty eaily

  • Military officials tell troops 168 commissaries could close next month

    Jump

  • Not sure what your area was or what, but it's definitely way cheaper. I still have the ability to go and make a 45-minute monthly trek to do so. Meat alone is, on average, 50% cheaper than Walmart and about 30-40% cheaper than the cheapest place I have in town

    There are a few exceptions like certain canned veggies/beans if you can buy in bulk at Sam's Club or Costco can be a bit more expensive at the Commissary on a per ounce basis and name brand frozen/pantry "convenience" foods tend to have little savings

    But by and large it's dirt cheap compared to off-base

  • Commissary groceries are subsidized, it's going to have a pretty big impact. Not only will they have to go off-base, it'll be a lot more expensive.

    Coupled with the not getting paid part...lmao

  • In a just, reasonable world it wouldn't matter because the governments would be doing logical things like rolling out some sort of UBI program to catch people or ensuring basic needs are met job or no job, setting up retraining programs for people to easily pivot etc.

    It is useful, it's the governments of the world response to its job elimination that's the problem
