Phew. Finally. I was getting worried.

What a pillock. Guess what Peter, we actively dislike you too.

Map Men Map Men Map Map Map Men!

That lemmy.world community explicitly ALLOWS spoilers. So if you get annoyed by spoilers like I am, that community is worse. At least this community on lemmy.ml has a rule against them… Technically anyway…

There’s another F1 community on lemmy.world which explicitly allows spoilers. I think it’s great people have a choice between communities with slightly different rules. So it’s doubly disappointing if people ignore the spirit of this community and post spoilers anyway.

Yeah I appreciate the post for discussion, but I subscribe to this community specifically because of rule number 1: “No spoilers in post titles”

A few more:

• Linus Torvalds
• Mark Ruffalo
• Stephen Fry
• Mozilla

I had the same reaction, “How did I miss this back in 2021?”

Yeah probably not a future WDC. Sainz and Bottas are successful drivers in my book though. And we’ve had a fair amount of underperforming rookies these past years so seeing Piastri fighting near the front and keeping out of trouble is pretty cool.

What a brilliant first lap from Piastri. Aggressive, precise, clean. I hadn’t paid too much attention to him this year, but it’s starting to look like he has the promise of a successful F1 career.

I did forget about that momentarily 🤦‍♂️. It was an injustice.

Yeah, and I think we can all agree that was a very bad thing.

For context: The UK and US did not ban German classical music during WW1 and WW2, and works by Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, Brahms etc were performed and broadcast on radio.

Unsurprisingly the Nazis did censor a lot of music. Don’t be like the Nazis is the lesson, I guess.

Hmm, so far I think I still liked Reddit’s algorithm better. Somehow it always managed to combine top posts from huge communities (news, videos, etc) with small niche interest communities on the same timeline. Hot on Lemmy feels almost like a random selection of posts to me. What people post here is good, but the way it’s selected and sorted doesn’t feel quite as meaningful to me.

I haven’t watched any pre-race coverage for years. I don’t feel like I’m missing out.

A crucial difference between XMPP and ActivityPub is, I think, this:

A messaging protocol or platform like Email or XMPP or Signal is only useful if the people you want to converse with are on it. There’s no other reason to use it. This means you probably need to have some of the people you know personally on it before you want to use it.

However the two main types of ActivityPub apps are microblogging and link sharing. I don’t necessarily need to know anyone on Fedi to enjoy using these platforms. So the likelihood for these platforms to thrive and survive, and the resilience against them being killed by a single large actor defederating or shutting down is much higher.
