I don’t think so.

Only now are Nazis getting a foot hold again, at the same time they are getting a foot hold across the world. It is the after effects of the 2008 crash and Putin putting his thumb on scales where he can (troll farms and corruption).

The fact Germany doesn’t stick out as more Nazi that France, or the US, or others, means the original denazification worked.

There was a process : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification

I feel bad buying things DRM’ed, so I very rarely do, and not for myself. I don’t want to fund that. Feels much better funding DRM free work.

I’m not giving you what I regard as my instances because I think that is combative. I don’t want combat, that’s the whole thing. I’m not really pro or anti this defederation, but I can see the problem and I’m interested in how it plays out. In it becomes a place of combat rather than debate, I’m simply leave. If there is no news or anyone to talk to, I will also leave.

If there is coordinated defederation, maybe it’ll give mods of the troll infested instances pause for thought, and make them clean house. Or not, and Lemmy bumbles along without ever hitting mainstream, until something else comes along. Maybe central instances set the tone of the whole thing, and here this is a mortal wound.

It’s an interesting “natural experiment”.

See that’s not my experience of the problem. They aren’t being polite. They are out right hostile. Staying calm, providing trusted source references, and remaining polite, just seams to enrage they further. They seam to want to have a slagging match, which is of no interest to me as I’m not 12.

So ‘Tankies’ are the ones fighting Nazis? There doesn’t seam much between the two to be honest.

It’s not really communism. It’s all about freedom to compete. The bazaar is a market after all.

Note: Reference to The Cathedral and the Bazaar. Worth at least knowing of in regard to open source history.

I’m watching with interest what happens here. I left Reddit before for Voat for a while. It turned out that without policing (or maybe it was the type of policing) it turned into a toxic cesspit.

Policing of some kind is clearly import to human groups. In the real world, across the world and history, where is no law and order, you end up with war lords and drug lords, who setup their own rules. Take moderation away and online groups get consumed by trolls.

So I’m watching what happens with federated Lemmy with interest.

If Lemmy turns into a toxic cesspit, like Voat did, anyone remotely normal will leave to avoid the toxicity.

You mean a fork? Why not? A copyright assignment and relicensing dispute is what caused a LibreOffice to fork from OpenOffice. Forks is a great feature of FOSS and there are normal.

Best recent example I bumped into was OrcaSlicer it’s a fork of a fork of a fork, merging in some of a fourth fork.

It’s insane that’s allowed. It should mean support stops.

I know it is done when there is one bomb by some nutters, but it seams labour intensive. Not sure how well it scales to warfare.

So they have to hope they find details on fragments left. I literally have no idea of the odds on that.

Also, how is Russia to know which bit of equipment is attacking them, and where is it from?

Your not counting the indirect deaths.

To be fair, Frank falling to his death from the top of wind turbine 45 has much shorter consequences.

It won’t have distant descendants dying after not working out symbols meant to not play with the glowing stuff left by the ancients.

To be clear, this is on the right wing Netanyahu government, not all of Israel. There is protests in Israel about this right now : https://news.sky.com/story/huge-protests-call-on-israeli-pm-benjamin-netanyahu-to-approve-us-ceasefire-deal-and-release-hostages-13146730

I fear it we will keep see new high records. If you have read Ministry For The Future, this all very alarmingly familiar.

Not the first time this has been pointed out : https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/heat-wave-india-climate-fiction-b2065039.html

As I said, if you want to start today, solar is without doubt the way to go. If you are dealing in decades, and much more money, nuclear becomes an option. But in the time building it, you’re poluting and it’s not clear it’s even cleaner long run discounting that, let alone including it.

As a bonus, solar is safer too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_power_accidents_by_country

So nuclear just isn’t the choice to make in 2024.

That’s part of the issue with nuclear, it’s not today. It’s a decade to do, power coal in the mean time, pouring concrete which also cause a load of CO2. When it’s finally running, it’s clean, but expensive. In the mean time you could have solar running 8 years and it is cheaper to power and install. Nuclear is going to struggle to compete. Until fusion, but even that, if it ever comes, might not be cheap enough compared. Cheap, fast and clean wins.
