i think the DPRK is the only on that list i don’t hold positive opinions about, or really any at all. everything i “know” on it is typical western propaganda so i try to keep my opinions open

yeah i’ve had my eye on hexbear for a while. if Lemmy weren’t so resource intensive i’d run a personal instance myself, but looks like hexbear is probably where i’ll end up (assuming they accept me :p)

looking more and more like I’ll be making an alt on another instance then… :p

oh i had no idea about this, yikes. and you’re absolutely right re: mastodon

man “leaked private messages” is such a weak fucking excuse in the face of transphobia. @nutomic@lemmy.ml you realize you’re just alienating a huge fucking number of comrades? not just trans people, but all those that rightfully stand with us too.

edit: nutomic you absolutely can come back from this if you don’t double down. accept your shit, and work on it. and you know what that would be great to see, there’s not enough of that in the world.

if not then @dessalines@lemmy.ml and other core devs, i think you have a tough decision to make. i absolutely do not envy you. though do keep in mind that handling this correctly will solidify even tighter community support behind the Lemmy project.

we need more good comrades behind ActivityPub development :p

impressive! got a source code link for those of curious?

Amazon, Facebook (Meta), Microsoft, OpenAI are top of my list simply due to being aware of them.

though I’m sure most large tech corps have blood on their hands in some way or another, doing “well” under capitalism demands exploitation.

Firefox actually has surpassed Chrome recently in benchmarks

I’d loved Anandtech in the past, for how they used to be. hadn’t heard of those other numbers 2,3,4 before, thanks for posting them!

you should upload them to archive.org!
