Not bad, but still far from parity. Interestingly, the line break is rendered as the correct <br> tag, but is visually identical to a paragraph break.

I think that link does the same as the direct link icon with the fediverse icon on Lemmy. I can’t figure out the mechanism it uses, though. The HTTP request is just empty and sh.itjust.works is displayed immediately. I expected at least a 301 redirect or a script to execute location.replace() but I can’t see anything.

As for the image, the embed mechanism is probably different on Mastodon and doesn’t translate at the moment. (I don’t even know if they support standard Markdown let alone the Lemmy flavor)

Let me see…

Looks like that would be a mixed result. Still, I commend the team behind the interface for getting federation to work.

…maybe it’s better that the Windows source code remain closed.

At the same time, I’d love to see the developers of the world glimpse at that eldritch cognitohazard and collectively go insane.

The reply on masturbated.one (the Mastodon instance) has an embedded image with the reference. It’s strange that it didn’t make it into the Lemmy comment.

Let’s not pass judgment on an entire nationality based on the crimes of their head of state and his hand-picked government officials. Otherwise I’d have to ask you if you’re ok with Americans, Chinese, Koreans, et cetera flooding in, by the same standard. Double edged sword and all.

If you mean “Russians” as in “Russian-speaking monolingual”… that would be a valid point. I’d like to keep the community as primarily English, but might not be able to keep foreign language posts and comments out. I’ll have to think about it, and I’m open to input regarding languages.

My comment federated back to them. Linux memes have infiltrated The Masturbated One.

Is that what substrate cooling means?

Droid-ify client, which is an alternative client for F-Droid.

If you’ve never used F-droid, give it a go: https://f-droid.org/en/about/. It’s a FOSS package manager for Android and nothing more. All it does is host, install, update, and manage applications. No ads, no sponsored suggestions, no ranking. It has strict submission requirements, only serves FOSS apps, and prominently lists apps’ “anti-features” (tracking, reliance on third-party services, things you may not like).

Dammit, I should’ve made a “no politics” rule…

“Here’s $20M, keep the change.”

Excuse me, it’s amateur mathematician to you.

Reminds me of the Indiana pi bill that would’ve legally set the value of pi as 3.2.

…or even just consistency in their immorality.

nah my dude, we didn’t (:

I inherited my predecessor’s fuck-ups that are slowly revealing themselves

You mean I could lose even more data when it inevitably craps out?

(don’t mind me, I’m dealing with a failed RAID5 array with one disk dead and one dying, I need to vent)

Another one from Saxony.

A man drives his car to the junkyard, looking for replacement parts. He greets the owner and asks:
“Windshield wiper for a Trabant?”
The junkyard owner thinks for a moment, then replies:
“Sure, sounds like a fair exchange.”

In the early 80s, American scientists and engineers produced the smallest precision drill bit ever created. With great pride and fanfare, they sent it to their West German colleagues for study and reproduction.

Just days later, the engineering team received a parcel. In it, a note: “Thank you for letting us test our equipment” and the original drill bit with a hole drilled through its center.

I can’t believe you forgot to mention the worst offender.

Packaging.

For some reason, Linux insists on the asinine practice of hypercentralisation where you’re only allowed to install programs from a single approved website. The rest of us are living in 2025 but Linuxists seem to be stuck in 1984. It is literally baked into the system (with a healthy dose of trademark infringement (I mean, Pacman? Seriously?)). Besides the obvious restrictions on user freedom, it would only take one bad actor to call into question the safety of the whole walled garden. Trust is the user’s prerogative. A truly open ecosystem would let the user decide whether to get their software from Microsoft, from a third-party Russian website, the seven seas, from a lost-and-found USB stick, whatever.

(also, I don’t want to be That Guy, but not having a large language model baked into the kernel for optimal performance in 2025 is fucking stupid)
