I think Google is putting their eggs in one basket (Android) in preparation for them selling off chrome. They are already killing ChromeOS.

US Senator Warner Presses Valve to Crack Down on Hateful Accounts and Rhetoric Proliferating on Steam in c/games

They already did, then Twitter got sold to Elon and he spilled the beans on all that and proceeded to make Twitter worse anyway. They pressing Twitter is one of the reasons why I think Twitter started going to shit. Fuck Jack and fuck spez

Warner Presses Valve to Crack Down on Hateful Accounts and Rhetoric Proliferating on Steam in c/games

  1. Slippery slope.
  2. Who is in charge of defining what is hate speech and extremist behaviour? What if it were the people who don't agree with your definitions is in charge of setting the definitions?
  3. Everything is political. One does not simply say something isn't political and it magically becomes so.
  4. Free speech is one of those things that is absolute. You are either for it or not, any encroachment is going to be the anti position. Obviously popular speech isn't something that needs to be protected.
  5. The government asking/telling/coercing a private company to do something to circumvent restrictions against itself is one of the basest tenets of facism. We saw enough of that lately with government doing the same thing with social media. Twitter was going to shit before Elon* and I think a big part of that was exactly doing what Warner is asking wink wink here.
  • Elon put Twitter on the fast lane to shit, but he didn't start it down that path. Fuck Jack, fuck Spez.

In response to this statement from FCC/MLS single entity:

https://www.fccincinnati.com/news/statement-from-fc-cincinnati

Out of professional decorum, we will not be sharing the details publicly

This statement is weak af. I expect nothing less from FCC/MLS single entity. Control the narrative, control the opposition, monopolize US soccer

MLS execs Garber, Rodriguez say Open Cup move is for greater good of U.S. soccer (theathletic.com)

Biggest takeaway from this quote from Garber

We financially have no involvement in it. We don’t control the brand. We don’t control the state of the facilities.

It confirms my suspicion that MLS wants to be the only name in US soccer and is really pushing for their monopoly. The other takeaway is MLS gaslighting us now in saying this is for the greater good.

I can't wait for MLS to get busted up in an antitrust lawsuit. Fuck single entity.

Any chance Voyager will be made compatible with Lemmy Redirect? (self.voyagerapp)
submitted 8 months ago by sorghum to c/[email protected]

I found a massive quality of life improvement this morning with Mastodon Redirect and it makes interacting with Mastodon links found outside my Mastodon app so much more easier to interact with. I was wondering if there are any plans to implement this. I spoke with the dev of Lemmy Redirect and he said the reason Voyager isn't supported is because Voyager doesn’t have a way to send it links

Is the best place to submit feature requests here or the github?

Is there a Mastodon android app that has the option to open mastodon instances in the app (self.fediverse)
submitted 8 months ago by sorghum to c/[email protected]

I'm trying to find an android mastodon app that can handle links from outside the app and open them in the app. Tusky is not going to implement this feature request and I haven't seen anything from the official app nor Fedilab.

It really feels like not being able to open mastodon links in an app is what's holding me back from using Mastodon more. I don't always find Mastodon content from within and is like to be able to interact with them more.

I'm looking for a sandwich bread recipe with ingredients measured by weight. I have bread flour and whole wheat flour and both pizza and regular Fleischmann's yeast on hand, but no AP flour until I go shopping at the end of the week. If you have a good recipe, I'd really appreciate y'all sharing.

[seeking solution] self hosted search engine (self.selfhosted)
 

My latest Google search replacement recently made a decision that basically forces me to turn off ad block in order to click results. I was wondering if there was any self hosted solution that is fairly easy to deploy in TrueNAS scale or if it is even worth doing. Bonus points if it's federated somehow. I'll deal with bad results if it needs time to grow as a project.

I also want to add that what little self hosting I've done so far has felt like cutting out a festering cancer and it feels so good to be in control of my online life again. Thanks so much for the guidance since the Rexxit. Finding out that you could easily self host a Reddit replacement with other people was what got me going to into this to begin with.

Kansas gets three-year probation, Bill Self dodges penalty as NCAA issues ruling in infractions case (www.cbssports.com)
 

In a long-anticipated ruling, the Independent Resolution Panel (IRP), a judicial board part of the Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP), ruled on Wednesday that Kansas men's basketball would have to vacate its wins from the 2017-18 season. That includes removing from official record any formal acknowledgement of its 2018 Final Four appearance, which means the banner inside Allen Fieldhouse commemorating that Final Four appearance will be coming down.

The vacation of wins stems from illegal payments made to former Kansas player Silvio De Sousa.
