5-4 instead of 6-3.

Even Roberts voted Trump should be immune from all crimes he commits. Don’t get your hopes up on this.

You cannot undermine the authority of an authoritarian leader. There is only one branch in Trump’s government.

Million Ants, ladies and gentlemen! The amazing ant colony with the power of two human eyes!

Yes, though in all fairness, they were acquaintances. I unfriended them.

Unsubscribe!!!

My response is to click that “unfriend” button and never see them on social media again.

I miss flash players.

Oh, but were not a democracy, were a constitutional republic hardy har har har har

Dammit, I accidentally clicked and saw the spoiler. I really wanted to wait for the season finale to know how it ended.

This would be good. I just hope it can do so while still being a part of BlueSky (as it is today).

I did some digging, and it seems like BlueSky is open source. I’m not sure the process of creating an instance, or how easy it is for an instance to interact with the main instance. So maybe I take back much of what I’ve said.

Sure, but the federated aspect is not at the core of its functionality the way it is for Mastadon/Lemmy. If Elon Musk ever bought BlueSky, would he be able to shut down 3rd party instances? Or stop supporting them with security updates? Would the instances be forced to abide by whatever rules Elon says in order to stay active?

This is a hypothetical scenario, but if the answer is “yes” to any of those questions, then it is not worth the risk of moving to BlueSky. You’re just kicking the can down the road.

There is no way for Elon to come in and take over mastadon. He could buy the organization, but the software is open source he cannot ever stop that. Meaning he could never force his values onto the fediverse the way he did with Twitter.

Is this possible to do now? If BlueSky was bought out by somebody like Trump, could he disable this feature?

BlueSky is not open source, is it? The entire premise of things like mastodon and Lemmy is that they are open source and federated at their core. Nobody can change that.

BlueSky is not federated at its core or there would be other BlueSky instances.

I get the mentality, but that’s the problem with enshitification. It always starts good, but once all the twitter traffic moves over, and the world becomes dependent on BlueSky the way it still is for Twitter, what do they become next?

It would be better to push people away from the closed platform and towards the actual open platform.

Edit: maybe BlueSky is open source. In such case, if they start fucking around, maybe it would be simple to fork this source code and form your own community. I think until other instances gain tractions, it is hard to consider BlueSky comparable to mastadon.

Bug, not a feature.

What’s the best alternative? I have a fire cube, and I’m getting sick of it. Apple TV? Is there a FOSS solution that’s close to the same quality interface?

They’ve changed it in the last 2 hours. When I clicked the link before, it redirected to the DEI link that had a 404. Now you click the link and it works just fine.

So as of now they fixed it, but it’s absolutely crazy that they did this.

Edit: Just worth noting that the DEI url now redirects to the non DEI url. This is just the leftover evidence of what they did. They have to do the redirect so Google SEO will update.

Just to make it clear, clicking the below link will redirect you to the deimedal url.
