Punk isn’t a genre, it’s a lifestyle. Somewhere in the 90s people, including the artists themselves, mistook it only as a musical genre.

The 1975 is punk imo, even though they dont fit the genre.

Sorry, but I’m not going to listen to anybody who actively and purposely registers a .zip TLD.

As a proud and loud member of the FOSS community, I will say this: The FOSS community is cringe as hell and people need to start going back to the root of the movement and remember that we are about CHOICE and FREEDOM.

If you’re judging somebody for using the platform of their choice, FOSS or not, you are the problem.

Check this out.

Please, no.

Thanks so much for this! Been wondering about all of the other lemmy UI options out there. I’m currently hosting old reddit and alexandrite but now I have my eyes on Photon!

Tbh, I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Part of FOSS and the internet in general is the ability to have choice over what you use and spend your time with. Just because Sync is out, doesn’t mean you can’t continue to use your FOSS apps. It just means that we now have an option for people who want to pay for a very polished experience.

You got it. Please feel free to share it around! So happy to hear it helped at least one person.

First success story!!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, as I’m still learning myself and really enjoy sharing what I’ve learned.

As long as the internet remains open, even if it’s in our own private corner, then we’ll always have a place to go, even if the place changes. If Google’s “internet DRM” ever becomes a thing, we’re completely fucked.

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.

Well, time to start teaching myself how to create a docker container. Forking will be no issue, but creating the container will be completely new grounds for me. Thanks for the new project idea!

I started on lemmy.world, then decided to learn self-hosting server infrastructure and made my own instance. Found a script that allows me to “auto-discover” all communities from given instance URLs, so I just added the instances that interest me. Boom, I have an instance with all of my favorite instances searchable and discoverable on “All”.

For those interested in the script you can find it here. Do note that you should NOT use the default settings and make sure to use an instance whitelist, otherwise it’ll pull every instance ever.

Yeah, but you’d lose out on being able to have a profile banner/photo.

Yeah pretty much.

It only pulls from communities you have subscribed to. Images aren’t duplicated per server, just text; so even if you find something nasty it’s not hosted by you and you can always delete comments from the database/block users from appearing in your instance.

Hello from a third self hosted instance comrads!

If there’s a 14-year-old coding prodigy who can do something truly amazing in less than 24 hours, we need you now more than ever.

Iced milk. That’s amazing. I’m stealing this.

What gets me the most is that we’re talking about the same company who created Super Mario Bros., a game famous for it’s lack of tutorial. People call the level design “genius” because it teaches you what power-ups and enemies are immediately.

What in the actual frick happened to this? Didn’t Miyamoto create Mario for crying out loud? What happened to these core principles? Money? Demographics for children?

I knew you were going to say that! Mac OS always has all of the aesthetics! One can only hope we’ll get “pretty” windows apps eventually. Although, Microsoft would have to unify their UI first, and we all know that will never happen.
