Bluesky is more similar to Twitter and has what most people were used to, like an algorithm, quote tweets, etc I found it extremely boring, but tbh it's a more polished experience. One of my biggest annoyances with Mastodon is how threads and replies look weird. Sometimes I see the reply to a post before I see the post, especially in the "lists" view. Also not having an algorithm is both good and bad. It's great because it's organic, but it also means many posts get buried and it's dependent on the time. As someone not living in the US and Europe, it's tricky because sometimes you'll post something when most people are asleep and no one will see it. I ultimately love Mastodon more because of the openness and the federation. But most people will find Bluesky more approachable
Idk it's full of zios. I posted about Palestine and went on an argument with someone who claimed telling Israel to stop killing children is antisemitic because Hitler blamed Jews of killing children.
I went away from Twitter for a long time but I started browsing it again from time to time. I just find Mastodon too lib and too full of this fake civility. There are still good things going on on Twitter like how the truth about the story of "Amsterdam attacks" was uncovered there while all the media lied. I find that most info about Palestine is found there and most push back against the Zionists.
Wow thanks for the existential anxiety
This is not open source. In open source people contribute to the project and in return the code belongs to anyone who likes to take it and work on it. Here they are asking for contribution while fully owning the code. It's basically free labor
Well in Linux you can use a command literally called "kill"
I am late to the party, still on season 6 of TNG. Will start DS9 after that. better late than never, I guess. What's your overall impression on DS9 as compared to TNG?
Arabic speaker here. This is weird because in Arabic there are two words that can both be spelled as "shahid" in English but they are pronounced differently and spelled differently in Arabic. Witness is generally spelled as شاهد which is pronounced as Shaaa-Hed. شاهد can litetally mean "to see or to watch something". Martyr is شهيد which is pronounced like Shahiiiid.
But it's complicated too because the plural "shohadaa" is the same for both these words so it can mean "witnesses" or "martyrs".
The article is using two words as if they are one word used differently. They are two words that have the same plural form.
Still waiting for someone to create Woman
They always like to think of Palestinians and maybe all Arabs as this monolithic mass, instead of a culture that also contains a lot of diversity. I live in a Muslim country and there's a lot of diversity. There are trans people, and openly gay people, progressives, atheists, feminists, etc. Even between Muslims with traditional values there's a lot of disagreement.
I wish I could donate to many software projects I rely on regularly. Unfortunately I barely make a living now and being in a developing country makes donations hard to do with all the fees and regulations, as well as the difference in currency (1 dollar is 7-ish of our currency). I still feel guilty about not being able to do that. But maybe in the future I'll be able assuage that guilt. I am learning how to code though and can already make some things. I'll look into contributing code when I feel I can do that.
Thanks I'm already there, but haven't been super active on Mastodon lately. I do enjoy the server though.
