Yeah I agree, but the trouble is you can’t just download from github. You have to also download YouTube from google (and a specific older version at that) and then use ReVanced to modify - and that’s if it even works for you. This creates a barrier to entry that many people just won’t bother with.
Agree, but just like OP said “there is a potential risk of downloading a malicious version of the app” how do i know if links for download are safe, i could just give you this link (revanced-apks.pages.dev) from r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH and say they work for me best… I am just saying people need to be more careful what they are downloading and not trusting some random people from internet including ME
Очень проблематично с ними пересечься. Если в мастодоне хотя бы можно подписаться на людей, кто говорит по-русски, то здесь все комнаты англоязычные; и даже если кто-то запостит там на русском, то это никогда не найти (через приложение). Если подумать, то нужен сервер для каждого языка, либо теги. Но по тегам тут не принято…
Мне нравится идея сообществ, но язык совершенно не учтён в лемми. Очень жаль, потому что подписываться на людей - странная идея, как в мастодон. Однако все сообщества - англоязычные, а разноязычными должны быть серверы, а не сообщества. В матриксе хотя бы комнат можно понасоздавать…
The description missed: desperate attempt of OP to paint Wikipedia (the open source successful project which democratized public knowledge) same colours as Facebook and Twitter.
Whenever I see these coy political memes I’m grateful that I’m not on the side where our extremists are the mainstream. The political theory is great, guys. In theory. Don’t make it your personality.
Well, as much as I would like him to use his money for philanthropic reasons, it is his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. I don’t really understand all this hate against him for not ending world hunger. Can someone explain what I am missing?
And there are about a million books plainly explaining why communism wouldn’t work in a realistic context, but sure, have fun with the “everyone who doubts me is brainwashed” strawman argument mate
Just keep your weird takes outside the meme community…
That’s fascinating given that communism has worked literally every time it’s been tried. The quality of life, food security, education, employment in communist countries all improved drastically after revolutions. Let’s take a look at USSR as an example.
Russia went from a backwards agrarian society where people travelled by horse and carriage to being the first in space in the span of 40 years. Russia showed incredible growth after the revolution that surpassed the rest of the world:
USSR doubled life expectancy in just 20 years. A newborn child in 1926-27 had a life expectancy of 44.4 years, up from 32.3 years thirty years before. In 1958-59 the life expectancy for newborns went up to 68.6 years. the Semashko system of the USSR increased lifespan by 50% in 20 years. By the 1960’s, lifespans in the USSR were comparable to those in the USA:
Quality of nutrition improved after the Soviet revolution, and the last time USSR had a famine was in 1940s. CIA data suggests they ate just as much as Americans after WW2 period while having better nutrition:
In 1987, people in the USSR could retire with pension at 55 (female) and 60 (male) while receiving 50% of their wages at a at minimum. Meanwhile, in USA the average retirement age was 62-67 and the average (not median) retiree household in the USA could expect $48k/yr which comes out to 65% of the 74k average (not median) household income in 2016:
The Soviet Union had the highest physician/patient ratio in the world. USSR had 42 doctors per 10,000 population compared to 24 in Denmark and Sweden, and 19 in US:
Professor of Economic History, Robert C. Allen, concludes in his study without the 1917 revolution is directly responsible for rapid growth that made the achievements listed above possilbe:
Study demonstrating the steady increase in quality of life during the Soviet period (including under Stalin). Includes the fact that Soviet life expectancy grew faster than any other nation recorded at the time:
A large study using world bank data analyzing the quality of life in Capitalist vs Socialist countries and finds overwhelmingly at similar levels of development with socialism bringing better quality of life:
This study compared capitalist and socialist countries in measures of the physical quality of life (PQL), taking into account the level of economic development.
I mean, are we sure the font used in that screenshot isn’t monospace?
If you compare the two lines after the first comment, the columns seem to align quite well (though I cannot read some of that)…
The only word I’m truly sure about, is “Chain”, and I can mostly read “name”.
The “static” and ”char", I would not be able to make out, without knowing that they’re keywords in C.
And the “create” is pretty much unreadable to me, but it would make sense to be “create_chain”, since it returns a Chain object.
Not necessarily a bad thing. If your method of invocation gives context about its possible use cases. You can make the program more safe because you know it’s being used appropriately. If you’re just passing a pointer around anything could happen to it. So it’s hard to help the programmer not make mistakes
I’m excited about Lemmy, looks like a really nice project. It has a pretty good interface, which is an absolute must for alternatives such as this to even have a remote chance of success. Also curious to see how federation will perform. Finally, lemmur is cool, but it runs awfully bad on my phone, but so do all Flutter apps. Scrolling is hyper sluggish, animations are not fluid, buttons have input delay, etc. It’s a shame, because the app looks and works well otherwise. There’s certainly work to do in UI/UX (I’m in love with Slide for reddit lol) but it has come a long way already.
Big congrats to all involved! I might chip in some translations when I get some time.
Holup is there a WhatsApp for non android? If so where do i find it? because then it would actually be possible for me to use as i need WhatsApp for work.
We give them our main milestones, what we hope to accomplish in the way of federation and features, and pay per milestone completed. NLNet is focused on lemmy’s codebase, not this or any other instance. They’re a really wonderful organization, and the projects they support speaks for itself as to their positive influence on open source: nlnet.nl/project/current.html
Yeah, I was browsing their project list and was impressed by all the cool stuff they’re involved with. Did they start what now is Lemmy or did you reach out to them with your idea?
