@Abraxas@feddit.uk Never banned. Started exploring alternatives during API changes. Staying on federated because it makes more sense.
Everyone understand how ridiculous it would if you could only email people on same email service, but for some reason we accepted that limitation as normal for social posts for many years.

@return2ozma@lemmy.world That’s a pretty short sighted view considering just ~150 years ago the Democrats were the party against abolishing slavery. Times change, but American politics really don’t.
Limiting the choice to the lesser of two evils only benefits one of the classes in the real fight. As Alaska (since 2022) and NYC (this week) have shown, RCV allows voters to select who they really want to lead regardless of whether polls say they are “wasting” their vote.
@RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world you are correct. After researching this for just 5 minutes, I was definitely mis-informed. It’s shocking that so many brands sell very expensive versions of this like https://www.kohler.com/en/products/bathroom-accessories/shop-bathroom-accessories/bottle-trap-1-1-4-x-1-1-4-9033.
@RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world based on the image, I think a bottle trap would work and be to code most places.

I think the new Drupal CMS install profile + Recipes via the Project Browser makes Drupal MUCH easier to maintain than WP for anyone already familar with Composer or other package managers like npm, gem, homebrew, etc
The idea that most WP sites (that aren’t hosted by WP.com) are still maintained by downloading the plugin files from WP.org and then uploading the files to the site blows my mind.
@danishdude1944@feddit.dk my parents bought my brothers and I an Apple IIc a year before the first Mac made it obsolete. We had a Commodore 64 with a cassette tape drive for games.
The first computer I bought with my own (borrow student loan) money was a 120MHz Mac 8500. I bought it before I graduated, took it to the graphic design lab and cloned one of the lab 8500 drives with all the software onto it. A few years later I ended up working at that same university and disposing of hundreds of worthless 8500s.
I was still paying mine off :(

I’m a big fan of SSG for smaller project and don’t think you should pick a stack based the social media preferences of developers… but if that’s what you are doing, I’ll see your single developer on the Fediverse and raise you an entire developer community. https://drupal.community/ ~600 accounts and ~150 MAU.

If you are going to evaluate Drupal in 2025, I STRONGLY encourage you to start with the Drupal CMS install. There are so many optional modules with Drupal, it can be overwhelming.
If you are already familiar with Docker, you can spin up a Drupal CMS instance using DDEV. You’ll have no problem Googling that.
If you aren’t familiar with Docker and want to try it, https://new.drupal.org/drupal-cms/launcher is a ridiculously easy way to start on most operating systems. That approach gets a little trickier when you want to move the site/cms application instance to a host. There is documentation, but I would look it over before getting too far into this approach.
My recommendation for spinning up a Drupal CMS instance is on a free sandbox on https://docs.pantheon.io/drupal-cms. Acquia offers a free trial in exchange for the information they need to target you with marketing, but it is only a 4 hour trial. Pantheon lets you keep your sandbox as long as you account remains active.
Unfortunately ActivityPub isn’t included in any of the Drupal CMS Recipes (yet), so you have to add it with composer require 'drupal/activitypub:^1.0@alpha'.
Composer is npm for PHP. If you are familiar npm, apt-get, homebrrw, pip, gem, etc, you’ll have no problem understanding Composer.
@ramble81@lemm.ee I don’t understand how this is profitable. We were shopping for a kitchen light fixture. Found the same light at several stores. Ordered it from one that claimed to be in Italy. Item shipped from China. I understand A/B testing and having multiple storefront you treat live burner phones when you get a reputation/review issue, but these sites were all using the same retargetting to place ads in my socials for weeks after the light was installed. Normally I add users to a list NOT to retarget after conversion. The other stores carrying the same product kept advertising something I had already purchased.

Many years ago I worked on a project with some FSF staff who refused to use non-FOSS solutions to coordinate or conduct meetings. While the developers involved where all prolific contributors to open source projects used by millions of people, they were all willing to compromise on some of the tools we use to develop and communicate for “the greater good”. The FSF staff weren’t willing to make those compromises. At the time I was frustrated by this. As Slack ownership changed, costs increased and policies around what they could do with “our” data evolved, I now have a lot more respect for the FSF staff who are “holding the line”.

We are taught as Muslims, that we must do whatever we can when we see an evil.
It is funny (sad, not haha) that christians and jews claim to be taught the same thing.

I had the same issue with my 3. Took advantage of one of the offers Samsung had to trade in even with a cracked screen. They gave me $600 towards a Fold 5. I bought my 3 used for $800, so I was only out ~$400 to go from a 3 with a broken internal screen to a new 5. Still very happy with the 5, but I get why you wouldn’t trust Samsung again.

I had a Galaxy Fold 5. I had a Fold 3 before this. I bought the 3 used for $800 to try out the form factor. The screen on the 3 split, but Samsung still gave me $600 in credit towards a Fold 5. No hardware issues with the 5. I doubt I’ll ever go back to a smaller phone because of the work related tasks I can do with the additional screen real estate.
For me the killer app is being able to review VRT failures. Before the Fold, I had to have a tablet or my laptop handy to avoid potential delays. Now I can review a VRT failure anywhere. This has allowed to spend more time with my kids. Worth every penny.

So phtn.app and vger.app are things you’ve said out loud to another human are they? And how did that go?
@Cris_Color@lemmy.world being nice helps establish the “tone”, but I’m not sure that wouldn’t change with another “API event” on Reddit that results in another, larger mass migration.
Another suggestion I have for college graduates is to ask your alma mater if they are going to start using something other than commercial social to engage with alumni.
Most universities don’t want to make mistakes investing in the bleeding edge, but they are quick to follow. When a few schools do something, many more quickly copy that. They are also looking for low cost wins. Their engagement numbers are already telling them that Xwiiter no longer works to reach alumni or potential students.
If even a handful of alumni suggest a change at the right time, that is often enough to get them to give federated social a try.
That is when the less toxic “tone” really helps.
@Angry_Autist@lemmy.world
@Cris_Color@lemmy.world
It is only “free” if you choose not to pay. Unlike commercial social that’s free for you to use BECAUSE you are the product being sold, federated social is only free to you because someone else is paying.
I completely agree that mass adoption requires well primed communities which requires early adopters to put more effort into engaging.
I would also add that clicking on anything linked helps too… Many news outlets are data driven. If you want them to invest more with federated social, click the links so the engagement shows up in their analytics.
@01011@monero.town So if I’ve illegally downloaded every paper and book published by Matthew Sag, Zahr K. Said, Jessica Silbey and Rebecca Tushnet and used that content to create an app that would output legal briefs in their voice saying whatever someone was willing to pay me to make it say, that is now legal? Or would that not qualify as “transformative” as shilling for $$$ is what lawyers have been doing for centuries?
