He had his green card. He protested against Israel. He’s now in jail, somewhere unknown.

The judge said he couldn’t be deported because he’s a resident, but he’s still in jail.

You know, I’ll edit and make it clear that I don’t know what I’m talking about. You might be right.

In the winter, we’re -5. In the summer, we’re -4. Winter and summer being defined as when the clocks change for daylight savings.

It’s good to know even if you just have a link sometimes.

Rust is straight up better than C. It’s safer and less prone to errors.

It’s not feasible to convert the entire Linux codebase at once. So your options are to either have a mixed codebase, or stick with effectively Cobol into 2020.

I’m on Boost, but should probably look at Voyager.

I get that you’re using AI directly related to your point, but it’s still a lot of shitty AI spam.

Use it for your own research, but don’t foist that on us.

The other difference is that promoting more and more obscure, useless shit ruins your credibility for when you’re trying to get them to Lemmy or Signal or Mastodon.

Signal is an absolutely fine product and doesn’t need to be decentralized right now.

Maybe. But it’s probably more important to start with Lemmy than which app to use.

Their rationale was that SMS is not secure and having something not secure on their app was damaging.

Yeah, I don’t mind Pixelfed getting attention at all. It’s just that I don’t trust Forbes, and this article seems to want to muddy the waters.

No mention of Lemmy. Hardly a mention of Mastodon. The leading image is all the oligarch apps. I’m not impressed.

Doesn’t seem like a super reliable source. I just grabbed the first result I googled.

I got it from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1bg323c/oc_reddit_traffic_by_country_2024/

It lists worldpopulationreview.com on the image.

There this statista link which has similar numbers and sounds more detailed, but still doesn’t have sources available. Google’s AI points to statista.

So nothing definitive. But I certainly expect that most users are from the US.

I could see the numbers being a little different for Lemmy, but I don’t expect that they’re wildly different.

My point was for people who are scared to leave Twitter. They don’t have to. They can just dip their toes in while still holding their Elon-themed blanket.

I understand that often you can’t just drop the platform where all the engagement is when your job is to promote something. However, you can still enable people who do want to make the switch.

I now have a dozen comments on Reddit in the last year, up from 3 an hour ago.

The thing about Mastodon for influencers is… you don’t even have to leave Twitter. Just post to both.

If enough people get into that habit, it makes the transition much easier for everyone.

It blows my mind that places like the transit systems that were on Twitter haven’t migrated over to their own Mastodon server. They’re not that hard to set up, and there’s so little risk when you just don’t accept public signups on your domain.

I’ll take a look. And yeah, the intention was the opposite, to poke pinholes into those crazy, reality-denying philosophies.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say or why. I’m generally not clicking random youtube videos.
