  • I grew up reading these. So fucked up. One of them was pulled from print for advocating that CSA victims stay at home with their abusers and forgive them (or else), so long as their abuser believes in Jesus.

  • Personally, I'm excited there's a decentralized option that's super popular. Yes, relatively very few run their own PDS, but if the main bsky instance becomes a problem for anyone, people can easily migrate.

    It's not just data ownership either; The AT protocol supports community-built algorithms, relays, and app views.

  • Modern astrophysics exists because a house fell on a teenage orphan.

    Who as a result got adopted by a prince.

    He got access to a royal lab for glassmaking.

    Then he tried fixing color aberration in his microscope lenses.

    Then he noticed the rainbow had holes in it. Huh.

    Then he died. Glassmaking and tuberculosis are fast friends.

    Then Bunsen invented his burner, which made spectra that matched the rainbow holes. Huh.

    Now we know what stars and planetary atmospheres are made of!

  • Especially with Project 2025 (day one after the election of the next GOP candidate). The executive branch will no longer be controllable by the other two branches. Also, Schedule F will allow all "policy-related" government workers to be rescheduled as fireable employees, allowing the Prez to install loyalists throughout the entire government. It's definitely time to freak the fuck out.

    I have a neuroscience joke, but it probably won't meet its action potential

    I love how this joke migrated from Reddit to Lemmy, and you can see it bouncing around, getting all federated

    Client Library Outdated

    Whenever I click a YouTube link in Boost, I get the following message. Clicking one of the options does switch to the YouTube app, but I can't view it inside the app.

    HELP NEEDED! Let's put this small Fediverse logo on r/place.

    EDIT: We’re going to attempt to organize a larger logo and spread the word further around various Fediverse services. I get that a lot of y’all are opposed to visiting over there. I'm pissed too, which is why I spent a lot of my day helping write “Fuck Spez.” I don’t think we’re going to contribute to Reddit’s revenue much, and I think at the very least sending a VERY public message that the Fediverse is here is a good thing.

    Naturalistic Spirituality / Atheopagan Resources

    What do y'all think about these books and authors?

    I may be biased as an "exvangelical," because they helped me transition out of that fucked up worldview and rebuild another (along science-honoring lines) but I'm curious to hear other opinions.

    Threads: We've Seen This Before

    We really shouldn't take this Meta thing lightly.

    They could offer the slickest interface and keep people locked to their friends. That interface can use protocols that make it difficult/impossible for non-Threads instances to play ball (ooh this cool new feature is only available through the Threads app; Oh, mybasement.world.ml.xyz can't read that content). There are many ways to Embrace, Extend, and Extinguish, we've seen Meta do it before (e.g. XMPP), and I'm sure we haven't even thought of some ways Threads could EEE.

    I think defederation from Meta's instances is probably our only option to protect what we have.

    Client Feature Idea: Lemmy + Matrix

    Reddit never opened its chat for third party apps, and is now stripping those apps further. Would anyone else appreciate it if some Lemmy clients would include a Matrix integration for chat?
