It’s 1990s style except done in 1920. Imagine the kind of mind that is that far ahead.

That’s not a deal that’s an agreement on the pre-conditions necessary to begin talking about a deal.

In 2023 alone, USAID provided assistance to 130 countries, disbursing $71.9 billion in foreign aid – the majority of which was spent on economic development (27 per cent), followed by health (22.3 per cent) and humanitarian assistance (21.7 per cent) to other nations.

Between 2017 and 2020, USAID responded to more than 240 natural disasters and crises around the world – from famines in the Republic of South Sudan to conflict in Afghanistan, Yemen and the Lake Chad basin.

From 2012 to 2017, it supported more than five million survivors of gender-based violence through services including medical care, counselling and legal help. Such care is vital considering that one in three women will experience gender-based violence in their lifetime.

And in 2016 alone, the organisation provided food assistance to more than 53 million people across 47 countries.

It’s hardcore

Much better to add features to your software that make it unusable in totalitarian situations.

For example

• if you’re building a reddit clone, make each subreddit elect their moderators every few months.
• Maybe ask How fat is Kim Jon Un during installation.
• Display the text “Taiwan is not a part of China” in the status bar, randomly

…and so on. The possibilities are endless.

If you don’t want to see it, you’re not going to.

I’m sure another round of tax cuts will fix it.

This won’t fool the insurance companies. They’re the ones on the hook for this.

“a documented history of migrant abuse” is such a nice way to put it.

A quick search for “libya migrant mass graves” brings up this - https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/02/1159951

That’s not ‘migrant abuse’. That’s somewhere on the spectrum between genocide and mass murder.

I remember when MS made the perfect control panel in Win 2k and XP then spent the next 20 years making it worse and worse just because.

And here we are.

Rolling stone is selective about who they show the paywall to. I didn’t get it but my gf did. No idea why.

Did you read the article?

Yep, I’ll document it in some way. A FEP seems overkill as it’s really just adding a bit more data onto Actors and Activities, not a big deal.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Lemmy users missing out is THE reason they’ll become PieFed users.

I did the DB structure changes at the same time as the ones needed for community flair as they’re quite similar. Might be able to do the rest tomorrow.

Tags, aka hashtags, are instance-wide (not just in a community) and interoperate with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Mbin. Anyone can make a new hashtag and they are completely unmoderated.

Flairs are a limited list determined by each community’s mods and are only used in that community. They will federate with other PieFed instances and with Lemmy (when they finish coding what they’re calling “tags”, a really unfortunate choice of name).

Watch this space.

Lol, rip
