It's certainly and obviously not, but:

  • YT is not anywhere near the "literal only possible way". Heck, air TV still exists!
  • even tho it isn't, I don't see you nor anyone acting to that extent, instead you go on a self-defeatist-for-everyone attitude.

Does Youtube have a monopoly and network effect? Sure, absolutely, and someone's gotta correct that. But it's not a complete monopoly in the sense of "if you don't eat you die". If the main supermarket in the area doesn't like me because "boobs" or something, I can still go to a minimarket.

...Look, you really get tiresome. I'd ask if you are fine but honestly you are not my problem. If you need serotonin or something, get you seen; don't try to drain mine.

"Fedi"

Already more than 50% shorter.

In comparison, asterism symbol (and any proposal that further extends into Unicode's emoji area) still spends three, maybe four bytes.

I mean , not with that attitude certainly. And dog that doesn't bark doesn't eat.

But if you want to be self-defeatist, you do you. I'd thought half the point you were even here, in a platform that is not GAFAM, was that you weren't.

A normal user would be quite shocked at the absolute lack of admin/moderation tools in the Mastodon software. in c/[email protected]

Why would a normal user would be even concerned about administration tooling?

and platforms who leverage network effect need to be held to different standards

Then do so. Come on. It's 2024.

Until something is seriously done, being able to at least go elsewhere has to be and is the rational option that is left.

If Lemmy were to integrate with Matrix the storage costs would explode exponentially, the two systems are notoriously heavy! (Lemmy is consistently the only service that fills more than 1 GB of storage in my browser and refuses to clean up).

XMPP is the true inheritor of IRC when it comes to standard, federated, self-hostable chat / messaging.

Unless they want it to be possible that people see their content.

That's what the airwaves are for.

But no, really, Youtube is neither that open nor that essential that the people not there are Somehow Invisible on the Internet. And even if that was somehow the case, you actually don't need to upload video, you can just use a normal youtube account to comment and link your content wherever relevant "conversations" lead there.

Nadie: La educación en Chile en una línea de tiempo alterna: (youtu.be)
 

Hablando en serio.

Todo el mundo habla de lo mal que está la educación, que los profesores, que los estudiantes y blah blah, y no estoy en desacuerdo que hay cosas ahí que están mal. Me podría mandar un ensayo en cómo no puede ser que una manga de pendejos de 12 vengan a amenazar a un profe en la sala. O que las salas en cuestión no deberían tener más de 20 alumnos.

Pero igual hay temas de método y de material de fondo, como este.

¿Por qué no es más común en Chile enseñar las cosas de una manera más atractiva? O al menos, más inmersiva que "copie el texto aprobado 131 veces". O, no sé, cuando yo estaba en la media la manera que nos enseñaban castellano era penca (ni qué decir del inglés) pero pucha que aprendimos harto el un (1) (uno) semestre que nos hicieron escribir y ejecutar una obra de teatro.

How do you get themes? Are [desktop]-look.org sites trustworthy? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Hey everyone I was wondering how do you spice up your cursors, icons, themes, etc., In particular for desktop environments such as XFCE, Mate. Are there any good repositories to use?

I've taken a look at a number of apparently cloned sites like "xfce-look.org", "kde-look.org", "gnome-look.org", but while they seem to show a wide offering of themes, it seems downloading from them is blocked via uBO since it reports a "fp2" fingerprinting script without which apparently downloads are not enabled. Are those sites trustworthy? They seem to be associated to a "OpenDesktop" initiative of which the only reputation I can find is that they were added to EasyList Privacy blocklist.

If there are other alternative hubs or repos from which to theme a distro (as agnostically as posisble) that'd be welcome info.

Cheers. Thanks. Et cetera.

Standards shouldn't be behind a paywall (lemmy.world)
 

publicado de forma cruzada desde: https://lemmy.world/post/9470764

  • ISO 8601 is paywalled
  • RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.

Anything of interest happen in 9-11? (en.wikipedia.org)
 

I've seen the Wikipedia article on year 9 doesn't mention anything of relevance happening during November. Closest thing seems to be September. Since people around have spent a few years making lots of ruckus about how the date with "9, 11" has some sort of importance as a date, I was wondering if I'm missing something here.

What is the need of T in the new (2019) time format? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Basically title. 2019 edition of the Standard denotes the "T" prefix to time as mandatory (except in "unambiguous contexts"):

01:29:59 is now actually T01:29:59, with the former form now designated as an alternative

But date does not have a "D" prefix, not even in "ambiguous contexts".

1973-09-11 never needs to be something like eg.: D1973-09-11

Anyone know the reasoning behind this change and what is the intended use? The only time-only format with separators that I can think would be undecidable in ambiguous contexts would be hh:mm which I guess could be mistaken for bible verses?

The Chilean Coup Set Environmental Policy Back Decades (jacobin.com)
 

En English pero bueno, qué se le va a hacer.

Hoy que se unen las coyunturas de los 50 años del golpe y la dictadura, el cambio climático, y los socavones de los edificios en Valpo, este artículo se ve particularmente relevante.

Si no hubiera sido por el golpe, quién sabe, Long Chile AU o tal vez podríamos haber sido una potencia mundial de la sustentabilidad climática.
