One of my favourite applications. I stopped paying for spotify and just use this to get music these days. Everything gets uploaded to youtube anyways.

This is less a reason to use Lemmy or MBin over the other specifically: One of the great features of the fediverse is that the content is not siloed off behind one interface. Usage and development can happen on both and any number of other interfaces and all of them will have access to the same content (barring federation issues, but that should become less of an issue as ActivityPub and various interfaces mature).
As for there being enough people to populate interface specific communities/magazines/whatever, you can’t take a snapshot of today and project that into the future statically. The fediverse population is still relatively low compared to commercial social networking sites, but there is enough of a core userbase for new people to accrete onto over the course of time. There is a potential future where the user base flips, or doesn’t but both Lemmy and MBin have large userbases, or another interface that doesn’t even exist yet takes off and becomes larger than both. But it doesn’t really matter because all that’s happening in those cases is people are being offered different ways of accessing the same content that better match their preference.
Bringing it back to the original point, that the content is not siloed means development on various interfaces can happen concurrently to make things not necessarily better than each other, but more suited to different tastes. You aren’t locked into whatever Reddit, or Twitter, or whatever decides the interface should look like.
The personal data of 2.9 billion people, which includes full names, former and complete addresses going back 30 years, Social Security Numbers, and more, was stolen from National Public Data by a cybercriminal group that goes by the name USDoD. The complaint goes on to explain that the hackers then tried to sell this huge collection of personal data on the dark web to the tune of $3.5 million. It’s worth noting that due to the sheer number of people affected, this data likely comes from both the U.S. and other countries around the world.
What makes the way National Public Data did this more concerning is that the firm scraped personally identifiable information (PII) of billions of people from non-public sources. As a result, many of the people who are now involved in the class action lawsuit did not provide their data to the company willingly.
What exactly makes this company so different from the hacking group that breached them? Why should they be treated differently?

Great post. It seems like a lot of people aren’t used to using the product of community efforts over commercial efforts and their expectations and feeling of entitlement match that experience. Like they’ve bought a product and want to complain to the manager when they experience a problem.
This post is for all the doubters, haha.
Thanks for all your work, I’ve been using this app in this form and it’s previous for over a decade now.
Not everyone fell for the lies. It’s a re-writing of history to suggest that everyone was all aboard with the war in Iraq. That war was preceded by the largest protests ever to occur up until that point. I personally recall Hans Blix, the UN official responsible for weapons inspections in Iraq at that time, repeatedly telling us that there was no evidence of such weapons programs. The New York Times should presumably be at least as questioning as my, at the time, 18 year old self. Particularly since I turned out to be right.
They only thought they moved away from RSS feeds. A whole bunch of the internet is built on Wordpress which publishes an RSS feed by default at website.url/rss or website.url/feed. Which means a shitload of sites are running feeds even if they don’t advertise it (or realize it).

I can’t speak to that, but a lot of the information the article says they are looking for they couldn’t find via reddit. They’d have to compel Mr. S personally to get a lot of this stuff:
- All written communications with RCN concerning piracy from Oct. 1, 2017 to the present.
- Payment records to RCN from Oct. 1, 2017 to present.
- All personal computing records pertaining to usage of BitTorrent from Oct. 1, 2017 to the present.
- All social media account usernames used including for Reddit, Twitter and Facebook January 1, 2016 to present.
- All Reddit posts and messages from Jan. 1, 2016 to the present
- Records of all movie piracy websites (including but not limited to YTS, 1337x, RARBG, Torrent Galaxy, The PirateBay) that were used at your Internet service.
If they are loading the drive up with media for archival purposes how much overwriting are they going to be doing, anyways? Theoretically the drive should last a very long time for that purpose.
Not these ones specifically but that’s why I said, “these issues.” The way they run their app store and their stance on sideloading is all coming from the same anti-competitive strategy.
I hear you but Apple’s stance on these issues also stops something like an F-droid Iphone equivalent.
If this were designed in such a way that the metal plates surrounding the connector pins went fairly deep into the plastic casing, this would make for a very durable cable.
When I signed up and they asked me how I heard about them I said a Lemmy post so I’m going to go ahead and take 100% credit for this.
But seriously, that’s pretty cool.
That’s meaty. Thanks for all your hard work.

The lemmit.online bot specifically mirrors a lot of reddit, block that one account and the bot content drops significantly.
I don’t bother personally for the most part but it seems like you can do it via --embed-metadata, --parse-metadata, and --embed-thumbnail.
