The whole instance has become increasingly strange. I don't interact with it at all anymore.

Today several photos and documents were released of the earliest, and most secret, computers.

Trump was caught attempting to blackmail a foreign leader for political gain, with dramatic geopolitical implications. Hunter Biden's minor misdeeds are a total nothingburger in comparison. I agree with the other comment, this smells of desperation.

I don't want to ride in the street. I want separate bike lanes. "Vehicular Cycling" was the biggest infrastructure mistake in history IMO.

First you redesign stroads with fewer car lanes and safe, unimpeded, separated bike lanes, and then you replace any unneeded roads with bike/pedestrian zones. This would improve any even slightly urbanized area.

And if you're rich, white and and a student athlete at Stanford you only get 6 months in jail.

The hell is wrong with this country. Shoplifting is not violent crime. If they flee put out an arrest warrant and they'll turn up later, in a lot more trouble.

Cops are well aware standing in front of a car gives them a free pass killing someone who attempts to escape. It's totally unnecessary pointless murder.

Yeah, and I think we can all agree that was a very bad thing.

For context: The UK and US did not ban German classical music during WW1 and WW2, and works by Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, Brahms etc were performed and broadcast on radio.

Unsurprisingly the Nazis did censor a lot of music. Don't be like the Nazis is the lesson, I guess.

Hmm, so far I think I still liked Reddit's algorithm better. Somehow it always managed to combine top posts from huge communities (news, videos, etc) with small niche interest communities on the same timeline. Hot on Lemmy feels almost like a random selection of posts to me. What people post here is good, but the way it's selected and sorted doesn't feel quite as meaningful to me.

I'm not sure. But as this is retrocomputing, I think "because we can" is often a good enough reason for people to make old things work again :)
