  • I like the idea of social bookmarking, but haven't gone through the effort of comparing all the options yet. I do have a list of open source bookmarking projects though:

  • Recycling rates are low, but I wouldn't quite call it a myth. There's a lot of materials that get lumped together as 'plastic', that each have to be handled differently.

    Some are relatively non-toxic and easily recycled. More can be, but aren't profitable without incentives. Some are very toxic, and recycling those are difficult. Then there's a lot of rarer types that make it hard to collect and sort. There's also mixed materials, where it's hard to separate the plastic to recycle.

    Generally everyone should be minimizing plastics, but check how they're handled locally so you know what's recylable.

  • Amazon launches first Starlink-rival internet satellites

    Jump

  • Also all the debris burning up on reentry. With starlink they want to have 42k satellites, each designed to only last 5 years. So that'd be about 2 tons of aluminum added to the atmosphere every day.

  • Google Calculator is so funny

    Jump

  • There's also Arity. It isn't the best interface, but it has functions, variables, and graphs.

    I was also using Unitto for unit conversions, but apparently the creator doesn't want forks or for f-droid to host it, so I'm looking for another one.

  • Any fediverse like discord clones?

    Jump

  • Matrix has spaces, which are collections of rooms.

    There's also XMPP. It's not quite the same as discord, but it's another federated chat protocol.

    It's not federated, but revolt.chat is probably the closest open source discord alternative.

  • Another round of anti-Trump protests hits US cities

    Jump

  • The're not meaningless. There's plenty of stronger strategies if you can coordinate them, but protests are still useful, and easier to get people started on.

    Even if it doesn't have an immediate effect, protests help get people connected and organized. They find others in their area they can work with, and groups learn to coordinate with each other better. It can inspire people seeing how many others agree with them, and get them more active and engaged.

  • how to set default language for my posts?

  • For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing

    Jump

  • Pixelfed has more than 100,000 active users, about 5 times what it was 6 months ago, so I wouldn't really call it dead. And with the fediverse, pixelfed and mastodon can talk to each other, so even on less active platforms you can connect with millions of other people. Most of the accounts I follow on pixelfed are from mastodon.

  • There's pinetta that's inspired by pinterest, but the repo hasn't been updated in a couple years.

  • small browsers

  • They're not browsers, but if you want lemmy in the terminal there's Neon Modem Overdrive, which also handles Discourse forums and some other sites. For emacs there's lem.el.

  • Content curation in the Fediverse is better!

    Jump

  • Fascist ideas don't spread because they make good points. They spread because they get repeated so much. People who don't know any better believe it because they've heard it so many times, or from someone they trust. Federating with fascists gives them more people to spread their ideas to.

    Talking to conservatives can definitely help, but it really depends on the context. Just having people who they disagree with in their lives can can be helpful. If you're someone they trust you might get them to work through some things. Or if you know a topic really well and know what talking points they're likely to bring up. But it's nearly impossible to get though to people who already hate you.

    Everyone is at a different place with what they want to handle. Some people just want a small friendly community where they have a chance to relax. Others want a more open communities that only keep out the worst. And some are okay with putting up with harassment to reach more people. But generally we shouldn't force others to put up with that harassment along with us.

    Jump

  • I generally prefer to federate with as many communities as possible, but federating with fascists is a terrible idea. You're just making people in your community vulnerable to harassment.

    People are self organizing onto these instances, and if they don't like their current one it's not hard to move. Most people won't move to one that allows nazis in.

  • There's also clauses about revoking your license if you try to sue them, and how you need to still include the system to pay them in your modified version.

  • I'm pretty sure most screen readers and stuff like copy/paste would also get whatever nonsense you filled it with.

  • A lot of the ways they scrape documents are the same used by accessibility tools, so I'd generally recommend against doing this.
