Comrade Zuck doing us a favor and ideologically purging the Fediverse of all the liberals by extinguishing all the collaborationist instances. o7

Here's one way it could happen

  1. Facebook joins the Fediverse, becoming the largest instance
  2. Majority of Fediverse embraces this
  3. Facebook decides to deviate slightly from ActivityPub
  4. Not wanting to be disconnected, majority of Fediverse follows them
  5. The real, ActivityPub-based Fediverse is dead (or as small as it was when it started) and now Facebook controls its (former) instances

No, projects like the Fediverse require initial protectionism. If you let megacorporations into your project, they will dominate and gain control over how the protocol develops in the future. Google Chrome's huge share of users has enabled it to get dangerously close to locking other browsers out of most of the Internet (the Web Integrity API shenanigans are just the start). Chrome also removed support for JPEG XL, killing that attempt at a standard and enshrining its own WebP. It's called "Embrace, extend, and extinguish".

If the Fediverse actually wants to grow, it must unite against this. Otherwise we will end up with a couple hundred thousand Fedipact hardliners and millions on Facebook 2. No progress will have been made.

I have been vegetarian for like seven years or so? Too lazy to go vegan, but the vegans are right.

Lol I think this is the locked thread on r/movies right? So there's only like 40 comments but they all have thousands of points.

Fire on the Mountain (1988) by Terry Bison is an alternate history novel that takes place in an African American socialist republic a century after Harriet Tubman's and John Brown's successful raid on Harper's Ferry. I've read some of it and have been meaning to finish it. I suppose it's quite explicit in its socialism, however.

2312 (2012) by Kim Stanley Robinson is a science fiction novel that takes place across a colonized solar system with multiple POVs. I quite like it, but if you much prefer narrative over worldbuilding then you may not. However, it does fit your criteria better. Socialism appears to be the predominant mode of production, with references to widespread worker co-ops (the author is obsessed with Mondragon), solar-system-wide economic planning, and I don't think money comes up at all... Earth seems to be kind of fucked up though, so I guess you could say it has FALGSC but not FALGEC. Finally, I should note that Kim Stanley Robinson is not a Marxist.

Lmao they're aware that their readers are idiots and have never seen any of Hamas' leaders (or even use context clues to understand who they're looking at) so they just go with "Hamas militant"

Little Chinese Everywhere. I watched her video on Tulous but she has many others.

I love Hausu, although it's been a while so I can't recount the plot very well. Not sure how scary it is. My friend loves Martin, and I like it too although I don't really find it scary at all. Maybe somewhat thrilling. Recently I saw Donnie Darko and that was a bit scary and certainly thrilling.

Return to buttons. This "infotainment" fad is seriously dangerous.

 

BEIJING, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- Li Keqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 17th, 18th and 19th Communist Party of China central committees and former premier, passed away on Friday in Shanghai.

Li recently had a rest in Shanghai. On Oct. 26, Li had a sudden heart attack and passed away at 00:10 on Oct. 27 after all rescue measures failed. He died at the age of 68.

The obituary will be issued later.

RIP

Hello, everyone. I felt we could all use a bit of mundane news. Today, North Korea finished producing dozens of rice threshing machines. 👍

Sorry everyone, I've been taking a bit of a break... I'll be back on soon! :)

 

With these new rules, FIDE has managed to

  1. Imply the mental inferiority of women
  2. Validate the existence of transgender men
  3. Destroy the integrity of awards record-keeping
  4. Call transgender women men

Very nice, FIDE, incredible mental gymnastics performance! 👏 Add them to the ever lengthening sports federation shitlist.

 

Here is an update to Travis King, the US soldier who crossed the DMZ. As this is KCNA, it's about the most official statement you'll get from the DPRK. It's also where a lot of other newspapers are getting their info from.

 

Yes, the federal response to the fires in Hawai'i is to give each affected household $700. What do you mean you need a house, jack?

They found extremely high levels of E coli in the waters due to sewage being released, but it wasn't published until after the event.

 

When I browse the all section, it's overwhelmingly reddit logo and Facebook humor. I haven't really seen any niche hobby communities either. Do good communities all block lemmygrad or are they nonexistent?
