Thank god! No more "should spurs sign Pau Torres" stories. It'll be interesting to see how he performs. Emery should be a good coach to get the best out of him.

Yes. Trying at least; (imo) Lemmy hasn't quite got the critical mass yet. The official Reddit app is so crappy that each time I find myself being drawn back in, I leave really quickly. I didn't expect me to find it that bad.

I'm not going to argue against anything you've said, I'm not going to try to fact check it, & I believe to be largely correct.

I also think its irrelevant.

In the next few years (couple of decades) we are going to see increased wildfire burning of the boreal forests in the global north which is going to release (what I believe is technically called) "a catastrophe fuck-ton" of gasses into the atmosphere. We've tipped over the tipping point.

Yeah, that's my thought. It's all well & good to say they can, but how? It's not a capability of the OS, so the only way this could work is some kind of carrier patch (?) or an unpatched bug.

Is the poster's IP address, system, or other system identifier/location, tracked?

If I have users giantshortfacedbear and throwaway123. Then it could be inferred or impled that they are same person if there are from the same IP or phone.

Honestly I think that is an excellent idea, and at some point someone (like football365) would probably pay a lot of money to take over it (yaay!). Theres a classic Catch-22 - lemmy doesn't have the critical mass to bother spinning up a dedicated server, but if it's not done now/soon it will be too late. I'd love to help, but don't have time.

That's a lot of money for Rice. For Arsenal's sake I hope it doesn't work out.

I've been trying it for concurrent to Rif and Sync. The differences are individually small, but taken as a whole the official app is just horrible. If it weren't for Rif and Sync, I don't think I would have become a Reddit user. I'm desperately hoping Lemmy reaches the critical mass and Sync for Lemmy becomes a thing.

I've wondered how hard it would be to write a bot that, for each new link-post in a particular sub in Reddit, it creates a corresponding link-post in a matching community in Lemmy. Intrinsically I feel like it would be easy, and might make the switch for users from there to here easier as it is already seeded with 'the content'.
