I wouldn't say Mr House is meritocracy, he even admits to being an autocrat. I remember watching this great video on how Mr House is basically Singapore.

In response to Bray’s toot, Evan Prodromou — one of the creators of ActivityPub, who is currently writing an O’Reilly book about the protocol — noted that this “is also the argument for using the ActivityPub API.” He described the API as “an open, extensible API that can handle any kind of activity type — not...
“ActivityPub’s API is how client applications interact with the data on a user’s main account server. It lets the user read data on the same or other servers, and it lets them create activities and other kinds of objects on that server that get shared (under the user’s control) with the rest of the world.”
I can't see how Apub's C2S API can realistically be implemented. It's fairly light on details and if I'm understanding it correctly the only standard way to get activity from the server is to pull from an actor's inbox, which has to be an OrderedCollection of all the activity the actor has received (likes, notifications, posts, the lot). This shifts a lot of the work to clients which, apart from being being very classist, is very limiting for implementations.
I honestly don't think that's it. I think something screwy happened with this poll, but I can't find it to verify. Seems Hovis only released this to the press.
Lollypop, it's a bit dated in terms of design for a GNOME app but it has all the features you could want. Can't comment on playlists though, I have never used playlists and honestly don't get the point of them.
subscriber numbers only refer to subscribers on the local instance
This was only true for remote communitites, home instances would always report the total subs across all instances. It was also changed in 0.19, now all instances report the true total.
Cain appreciated the performances and storytelling, but singled out how the show nailed the Fallout "vibe" as its biggest achievement. "I was just looking at all the props," he said of one scene. "I realized after a few minutes went by that I had not followed the dialogue at all, because I was so engrossed by it visually."...
I really enjoyed the show, it was good. I just wish it didn't take place in California. I hate that Bethesda's idea of Fallout is a wasteland in never-ending strife, one that can never move past the scrappy survivor stage of the post-apocalypse.

I'm not saying that these, or remakes generally, are bad(I've even been thinking of picking up the DS remake). I just don't think they should be contenders for GOTY.
please don’t harrass or insult that website, but I recently browsed that website because I wanted to get a wallpaper, but then I realized the top bar was saying “Xenia suggests you get Firefox”, wait what??

Chrome, and browsers based on it, currently account for more than three quarters of web traffic. This gives Google a huge amount of power over the web and how people are able to interact with it. Google is also a company who’s primary business is advertising and surveillance; this means they have every incentive to curtail your ability to stop websites from spying on you and force you to use the web on their terms. They’re currently exercising this power with the rollout of Manifest V3, where they’re severely limiting the functionality of content blocking extensions like uBlock Origin.
Its brush engine is kinda bad though. You basically have to turn on “Zero pressure at both ends” and put the stabiliser up to like 15 to get anything usable. Not sure I can recommend it.
It’s main advantage, as far as I can tell, is having a much simpler interface. It’s snapping tools are trivial to use and discover, but far less robust than Krita’s assistant tool. It’s easier to add brushes, but you have far less options in configuring them. I don’t thinks there’s anything that Firealpaca can do that’s partially hard to do in Krita. Also, Firealpaca doesn’t have a dark mode.
I’m not an experienced artist though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
Where did they deny the Holocaust? The comment that got removed for ‘spreading nazi misinfo’ seems to be them calling the modern Russian and Chinese states dictatorships that are engaging in genocide.
I’m glad they decided to not ship beta-quality software to users, even if it makes for an unexciting release. I like Fedora because it’s (mostly) stable.
