I thought FUD was a cryptobro term.

Your post of the story is still up

The post they linked to is deleted, as is everything they ever posted on feddit.org, indicating that their instance ban (“reason: antisemitism”) was done with the “remove content” checkbox checked.

the non-recursive part of this image is mildlyinfuriating

what surprises me more is that Netanyahu seems to be fine with it?

Delta is the only U.S.-based mainline carrier where flight attendants, fleet service, and mechanics are not represented by a union

Russian propaganda

ah yes it’s that notoriously pro-russia website hrw.org 😂

you could edit your post title…

Have you tried https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/ ?

I have not, but I think it does what you’re looking for.

The demo video emphasizes its use as an emoji picker but it was originally created for typing Indic languages.

i figured this was likely astroturfing by one of the many shitty companies it is advertising, so i went looking for the source. somewhat to my surprise this image was apparently created by reddit user u/theFallenWalnut who’s actually been posting there for over 10 years 🤔

if you check their account you’ll see they’ve actually updated their recommendations to remove several companies (including proton and spotify) which are included in the older version of it posted here.

but, they’re still suggesting lots of garbage.

Can a country “choose” the ambassador of another country? That’s counterintuitive to me

Countries choose their own ambassador to another country. The nominee this article is about is from the US.

Separately however, countries can choose to accept or reject the ambassadors other countries send to them. It’s very uncommon to reject them, but actually South Africa’s ambassador to the US was expelled earlier this month. I wouldn’t be surprised if South Africa doesn’t accept Bozell.

if that is the case I choose upper-left of the political compass for you (:

i’m curious, where do you place yourself on that compass? if you’ve got 20 minutes I highly recommend this video about it.

as a mod/admin, i would appreciate being able to edit post titles. there have been a fair number of times where i asked a poster to do so, and then waited a while for them to before deleting the post if they don’t.

and/or, it would be nice to have a way for us to temporarily semi-delete a post while waiting for OP to make requested changes to it; that is, to hide it from the community view but leave it visible to people with the URL, or people who find it via the user profiles of the poster or commenters in it.

editing titles would be awkward without an edit history or, at the least, a way to see that some 2nd party had edited it, and editing post bodies would be even more so. but it would make sense and be useful with an edit history, i think.

i would also appreciate having content addressability, portable identity, composable moderation, and… perhaps a pony 😂

and here i does it for free 🤡

three suggestions:

1. fyi, since your post links to https://lemmy.world/c/remy and https://lemmy.zip/c/remy icymi the preferred way to link to communities (so that everyone can access them via their own home instance) is like this: !remy@lemmy.zip. When someone types that in the lemmy web interface, it will auto-complete and expand it into link markup like [!remy@lemmy.zip](https://lemmy.zip/c/remy), but when that markup is rendered it will actually become a link to access the community via the reader’s home instance. For instance, for me that link will actually go to https://lemmy.ml/c/remy@lemmy.zip where i can interact with the community whereas https://lemmy.zip/c/remy will take me to the lemmy.zip website where i do not have an account. Here is a non-escaped example (my previous examples are all escaped with backtick characters to prevent them from rendering) which anyone should be able to click to load it through their own instance: !remy@lemmy.zip. Please ensure that your client can both generate and follow community links like this! (as well as user links to lemmy and other activitypub things; user links work the same except they’re prefixed with @ instead of !.)

2. you don’t need multiple communities for your app; users from .world can post on .zip and vice-versa (and it is easy for them to if you link to the community the way described above).

3. will you ever consider open sourcing it? :)
