Why does the Wall Street Journal feel the need to promote itself on Twitter? (lemmy.ml)
 

And what a topic they choose to do it too...

The building process also requires autoconf to have installed.

Briar releases an alpha desktop version for Linux (code.briarproject.org)
 

It seems that it's ported over from Android...

To be clear I don’t mean to shit on the platform, I’m just approaching it with a lot of cynicism.

It seemed to me you meant to imply that you, unfortunately, dislike Julian Assange?

associate themselves with Wikileaks and/or Julian Assange

What's wrong with that?

Fediverse platform for movies! in c/[email protected]

I think something like adding movie cataloguing functionality to https://inventaire.io could be easier...? They claim to support ActivityPub too as of now...

Philosophy Tube's content partially funded by The Royal Institution (thegrayzone.com)
Do you think the fediverse has become a save space for radicals? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago (6 children)

Not really. GPL is a left wing license. It literally enforces cooperation, and collaboration, which're communal values, rather than individualism.

An image to encourage switching to element from other platforms in c/[email protected]

I don’t think it’s the best approach to promote Element specifically, but rather Matrix.org, which does have good mobile clients, like Fluffychat on iOS, and good desktop clients, like Mirage.

Have any countries successfully implemented socialism? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 years ago

What do you mean by ‘succesfully’? Most actual socialist countries are under heavy sanctions/restrictions from capitalists, such as Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela. However, they do still provide affordable, and subsidised low-income housing apartments, schooling up to the University level without charge, and freely available healthcare. They also have a degree of planned economy, so unemoloyment isn’t all that high.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's a good point. Also, does Lemmy.ml currently host with OVH still, and was the transition to another data center done automatically for you @[email protected]?

A Bill Gates 'Interview' (www.youtube.com)
 

This is so on-the-noose promotional in tone, more obviously a PR than many other interviews. I am not sure who can take is as an interview, and not a documentary :-)
