• ABC iView v4.16.1 [4148], the last version of the Australian streaming service before they started requiring a login, IIRC this doesn’t even work any more so I just stopped using it
• the legacy version of Discord, more specifically the Aliucord mod which backports some modern features along with a bunch of optional plugins
• Simple Solitaire Collection, an open-source card game collection; the developer took it closed-source and ad-supported so I just stopped updating
• Skype on the last version before they added Copilot, but with Skype shutting down that’s not really useful information to anybody

Lemmy.World specifically forbids any sort of discrimination against queer groups on this site.

You’re in violation of the terms of your instance, I guess we’ll see how that goes.

Sometimes I think about how shitting is one of the few things that unites everybody, across class lines. There’s plenty of unpleasant things that the rich can pay somebody to do for them, but world leaders, movie stars, crown royalty, they all have to go into a room and shit in some kind of hole.

That document seems to use communities in the normal English sense and spaces in the “collection of Matrix rooms” sense. I would say spaces are what they’re called and a community is just an informal group of like-minded people who can be better-organized using spaces.

I can’t see a way for this to be anything but a Producers situation. Calling it literally anything but Fyre Festival 2 would increase the odds of success, if the event succeeding was ever the plan.

the old URLs (with the subdomain blog) will no longer work…

if you’re trying to open an old URL, just swap “blog” with “news” in the subdomain.

This seems pretty fixable, doesn’t it? Once the old blog shuts down, can’t you just redirect the subdomain so that the old links redirect to your current blog and everything is fine?

Both things are technically true: the article is primarily made up of content literally written by the company or people contracted by them for PR purposes, and it is a Good Article (Wikipedia jargon for having passed a review of certain quality standards around writing, coverage and sourcing, but not the higher standard required to be classed as a Featured Article).

How much of a problem this is probably depends on the subject. Does Juniper Networks have any bad practices which the article omits because the people who researched it (i.e. Juniper Networks) didn’t think they needed to go in the article? You’d basically need an independent observer to research anything that potentially should be in the article but isn’t there, but how many people that aren’t getting paid are invested in researching a corporate networking business?

There’s absolutely merit to Wikipedia having articles that are written by people paid to write them by their subjects, because a lot of it would otherwise be missing from Wikipedia entirely. But it’s also good to know that many articles are not necessarily written by impartial authors.

The movie with Jet Li and Jason Statham? I get it.

In 1999, Craig became sharply critical of U.S. President Bill Clinton for the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Speaking on NBC’s Meet The Press, Craig told Tim Russert: “The American people already know that Bill Clinton is a bad boy – a naughty boy. I’m going to speak out for the citizens of my state, who in the majority think that Bill Clinton is probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy.”

Here we go, I found lemmy.zip admin Demigodrick’s Mastodon.

Hey what’s going on with lemmy.zip? I’m getting host errors when I try to connect. I’m new to the whole fediverse thing so just trying to figure out what’s up?

Demigodrick

hey, currently a substantial server error - I’m looking to restore a backup ASAP but need the time to do it, so hopefully later on today

This was posted about an hour ago at time of this comment.

The last post in !announcements@lemmy.zip was for a scheduled downtime yesterday while they did server maintenance and possibly updated their Lemmy version. Did they ever come back up after that, or have they been down since then?

Mate, wtf is an old carburator?

Operation Clippy.

It really whips the Lemmy’s ass.

Which one is the wrong one?

I like the idea that these were your first impressions of China, as in you stepped off a plane, had one look around and thought “Wow, this place seems like a ruthlessly effective technocracy that has achieved very impressive outcomes for its citizens but it’s certainly a cultural-slash-societal system I never want to live in.”

If you follow any open source projects on GitHub, it’s useful to know that you can get an Atom feed of most pages (e.g. the commit log or releases tab), by adding .atom to the end of the URL.

Atom feeds are not the same thing as RSS feeds but any halfway modern RSS reader should be able to handle both. Feeder for Android, mentioned by ElectroVagrant (twinsies!) elsewhere in this thread is an example of an “RSS reader” which also supports Atom.

Here’s an example Atom link for Interstellar (a cross-platform Lemmy/Mbin/PieFed app) releases: https://github.com/jwr1/interstellar/releases.atom

This is a handy way to get notifications when things update, especially useful if they have no internal update mechanism. If you can navigate your way to the Releases tab, then you can turn it into an Atom feed and you’re done.

The big headline is understandably that it crashes into a fake painted wall like a cartoon, but that’s not something that most drivers are likely to encounter on the road. The other two comparisons where lidar succeeded and cameras failed were the fog and rain tests, where the Tesla ran over a mannequin that was concealed from standard optical cameras by extreme weather conditions. Human eyes are obviously susceptible to the same conditions, but if the option is there, why not do better than human eyes?
