Last I read, the admin who was a day late in paying Sav for the renewal was actually able to transfer the domain to a different registrar (PorkBun) before Sav’s auction of the domain was complete. This maneuver was either something that Sav’s auction designers hadn’t anticipated, or the auction was compromised because the main bidder (j_s_) was a hexbear user who’d found a way to make unauthenticated bids.

At any rate, I don’t think they paid thousands for it.

No, you’re right. It’s just how it sounds with Sanders’ distinct accent.

For stuff about films, I like ‘Thomas Flight’ and ‘Like Stories Of Old’. LSOO has just released a video about Gladiator II that I’m going to watch in a bit (I’m hoping he hated it as much as I did!)

Typically, if you see that one person is being banned from a bunch of communities at the same time, it just means that they are being banned from the instance.

If an admin wants to ban one of their own users, it’s a single activity that’s federated out, but if they want to ban a remote user, the only way it can be done under the current system is for every community that the banned person has interacted with to ban them. It’s an automatic process, triggered by the admin pressing one button once. (it’s not a perfect solution, because nothing prevents the banned user interacting with other communities, at least as far as their local instance is concerned).

Well done Scotland, for drafting and actually enforcing this law.

It’s no surprise that this woman, and the others pictured in the article, are all of a demographic that they’re not going to have to actually make maternal healthcare decisions for themselves.

Thanks again. I wasn’t sure about contacting you before, because the UK’s problems shouldn’t be your problems, but I’ve now updated the post with news of the fix.

Towards the end of this video, he says “the United States of America is the longest-standing democracy in the world”. My geopolitics are a bit rough, so genuine question: is it?

No. The app was forked from a Lemmy app (Thunder), so there’s not much PieFed-specific in it (e.g. there’s also no support for Polls). The exception is that it supports post / comment subscribing (I was notified of your comment, even though I’m not the OP of this post).

I created a new instance for testing the app, and I didn’t create any Topics (partly laziness, partly because the whole area is being re-evaluated for user-created Topics, aka Feeds).

The app will lag behind the site in features, 'cos adding stuff for direct HTML rendering will always be easier than adding stuff that’s got to come through an API.

I assumed the same, when I read their announcement. But requests from my site, for their users or their communities, do not work. A ‘text/html’ request gets the UK-specific rejection in HTML, but so does a ‘activity+json’ request. Based on this, sites in the UK that are already aware of existing lemmy.zip actors will be okay, but they won’t be able to initiate profile updates, or fetch the details for any new lemmy.zip actors. Because my site was created after the geo-block came in place, I’m essentially deferated from them (for now, hopefully).
