Yeah it seems to merely be a business decision, less about a conscience and more about avoiding losing more anti-trust suits.

If no one server carries all the parts of a multi-part, is that a legal loophole?

I thought my memory was failing me but it really was low key at the start eh?

TIL Tungsten is represented as W on the periodic table. But you lost me with the rest…

The “J” stood for statinum, as in, right the fuck now, playing off tungsten being W on the periodic table.

Bed time here. Maybe I wake up to a humourous reveal here tomorrow.

Well played :)

I mean that must have been his pun from the outset but it didn’t occur to me.

Makes me more likely to watch. Maybe OP isn’t aware of Veritasium’s reputation.

Selling prosthetic 6th fingers will be where the money is at.

Is he calling for Hamas to surrender?

Thanks. I use the app Boost for Lemmy but do not have that icon you circled.

I find you on Mastodon as Mr Pistachios but zero posts and replies are show. That is your deliberate setting?

Which Lemmy downvotes?

I got banned temporarily (but actually permanently) from TheGuardian for posting newspaper articles reporting on evidence that Assange’s Swedish alleged rape victims boasted about their sexual encounter on Twitter and SMS (which bus lawyer submitted as evidence). No commentary from me.

I got banned from r/worldnews without warning because I posted an article by Seymore Hirsch suggesting that the NordStream pipeline was sabotaged by USA themselves. The only commentary there was to add that he is a respectedjournalist who exposed the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam.

I had a comments deleted on Lemmy WorldNews because the Mod did not like my politics. At least I wasn’t banned.

Friends have set up a private forum and server which is a solution however it doesn’t have much activity. Those in our circle are too attracted to popular socials instead it seems.

Am still on Reddit and was reminded just minutes ago of what you just said.

Here is 20 people downvoting me for giving a TL;DR which is somehow both good and bad simultaneously.

Don’t you have to follow someone on Mastodon to see what they post? Are you already following 60d?

Might be worth paying for a VPN to avoid this.

Marketing works. Apparently there is a whole industry dedicated to it.

I experienced similar as a paying customer there.

As explained by Brian Eno in this 3 minute video.

No it isn’t a URL. But that would indeed be the way they could make it work. If they did that, then…

If you don’t have the app installed it installs it from the web site. If you have it installed then the app takes over instead of the web browser. That is how many apps work (eg Reddit).

And it uses same tech as Signal.

However getting friends to join Simplex is complicated by two annoyances:

(1) It gets confused by an invite URL coming from facebook (it doesn’t know to strip the appended Facebook tracking code - as trivial as it is).

(2) When the invite is via a QR code you must scan it with SimpleX not your native camera app. Invitees just give up.

I have exactly once as did a couple of my friends from the same stranger.

You are also describing markup.
