I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a LinkedIn alternative. It's too business-oriented for anyone to care that it's under corporate control. In some sense, that's the whole point.
My understanding of Friendica is that it's supposed to fill a niche similar to Facebook. I've never used it though.
In elementary school, I had a kiwi teacher who told us about growing up on his uncle's sheep farm. Allegedly, he once found some caves on the property where an underground river ran. In those waters lived a huge eel that had been eating lost sheep, until my teacher killed it in hand-to-eel combat.
I want to believe that it's a true story, so you'd better check what's under your feet.
Every time my GF Nicole joins a new instance, I make an account on there too. She's a bit of a fediverse chick.
I understand what you're saying, but his experiment allowed the embryos to come to term and be born as human babies. Scientists have worked with human embryos before and avoided similar outcry by not allowing them to develop further (scientific outcry, not religious). Calling his work an experiment on human embryos ignores the fact that he always intended for his work to impact the real lives of real humans who would be born.
Are you able to block it from your user settings page? There's a tab for adding communities/users to your blocklist.
I use it whenever I want to block a community, but I don't want to visit their page.
My brain will rupture in rage if Newsom becomes the 2028 Democratic presidential candidate.
I wish it hadn't taken until this past year for me to notice how willing the dems are to horse trade people's rights in the name of "business as usual".
There definitely are FOSS projects run by the US government: Ghidra is an open source reverse engineering tool developed by the NSA.
Looks like bigfoot to me
I always felt like murderous clones are a bit different from evil twins.
From a sci-fi perspective, I've noticed that murderous clone stories tend to explore the following themes:
There are definitely UI inconsistencies across devices, especially smart TVs. Jellyfin on Firestick looks different from Jellyfin on Roku which looks different from Jellyfin on WebOS. Some devices deliver Jellyfin through a thin browser client, and in those cases you get access to a unified design. Outside of that it's a crapshoot as what the app will let you do. Of course, it's a volunteer project (and all my thanks to any maniac willing to develop TV apps), so I don't expect that everything can be easily and neatly unified.
I can't deny that it's sometimes hard to support my users because of this. Someone complains that they're getting movies dubbed in an unwanted language: I can't guarantee that the button to select audio track will look the same on their end when I talk them through it.
They don't need to quit, but pretending that they're "changing the system" doesn't help anyone.
They're showing up to work, and maybe helping people, but "the system" is defined by rules and goals. Only people with power to make rules and change goals can impact the system. The postmaster who lets a trans person change their passport marker isn't changing the system. They're subverting its goals, but the system remains.
I don't see how this can lead to anything good.
The democrats have given ground on immigration every damn election. What it's 'won' is base level of support to put brown people in concentration camps across the political spectrum. The whole "I love immigrants, but if they come here illegally they deserve to be punished" argument can't stand up to the truth that the inhuman conditions in these camps are far in excess of justice.
On paper I understand that the democratic party can't guarantee that every member holds the same view on trans rights. In practice we already have evidence that yes, the slope is indeed quite slippery.
