I would need to be paid to stay in a hospital a moment longer than necessary. Using a market-based supply & demand framing of healthcare doesn’t really make sense because it’s a service that nearly everyone who uses it wants to use the minimum possible. It’s not candy where people will take as much as they can get. Everyone wants to get well ASAP.

Mozilla claimed that it was rarely used

Looks like CMYK support is coming, if I read the release notes right. That has been a sticking point for a loong time.

This is huge. Of course they shouldn’t have been left trapped there for decades but it’s great to know their situation is improving 👍

In your best actual solution, how do refugees apply for asylum?

The big writing behind him says “TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING”, if anyone is curious. They kept it out of the shot when recording the stage but the writing was visible on the screens of the phones the audience were holding up.

Wow the ISS has a really really low orbit!

The only issue is controlling Alex Jones. He’s too batshit to ever work under anyone and without him most of the value evaporates.

So now it’s up to rich people to decide if Alex Jones gets to stay on the air. Will asshole rich people who want him to continue buy it or will some nice rich people buy it to shut him down?

Story by a game dev who gave up on Rust after 3 years https://loglog.games/blog/leaving-rust-gamedev/

Lemmy and Kbin both got money from Nlnet. Mastodon too, plus probably other fediverse projects.

What is the relationship between NGI and Nlnet?

When listing an app on the app store, there is a footgun to watch out for. One of the questions it asks is “Is this app made for children” or “is this app intended for children” or something like that. If you say “yes” to this then that triggers extra stringent evaluation criteria. Many people will accidentally choose yes for their app because it’s a general purpose app which anyone can use (no porn, violence, etc) but that is a mistake. The intent of that question is to find apps that are ONLY for children to use and to evaluate them differently in order to keep children safe.

NZ isn’t all alps, forests, lakes and cows, that’s for sure

Decades of failed government response have left us in a situation where meth is so prevalent they’re giving it away.

Private messages would need to be end-to-end encrypted. No ActivityPub-based platform does this. I’ve been mulling over how to do it but haven’t landed on anything solid yet.

Signs-ups don’t have to be open, they can be closed or vetted - it’s just a config option that can be changed with a couple of clicks.

PieFed has polls. But it’d be helpful to take inspiration from Loomio and add much richer functionality here to turn a poll into a proper group decision-making tool.

When they look different people interpret them differently.
