A long time ago I did some things with https://revealjs.com/ but not sure how viable that is.

In principle the main thing you’d need to have is a way for people to post anonymously. This could be implemented by having all posts and comments appear as sent by anonymous@instancename.tld or similar.

The rest is just a different (flat) interface for “group federation” and possibly a requirement to attach images to new posts. In principle this could interface with existing federated groups just fine I think, only it’s likely a lot of communities and instances would ban that “anonymous” user very soon.

It’s not an exam, it’s a discussion among professionals in the field.

What exactly do you mean by “which maps”? Do you want a different style, different labels, higher quality data? The question as asked isn’t very specific.

I’ve been calling it threadiverse because that is what I saw most other people call it.

Really all it is is “ActivityPub groups” or if that is too technical, “fediverse groups”.

The existence of cash is probably the least of one’s problems in that scenario. How is food going to be delivered to stores without working gas pumps? How will stores open their electronic doors or process payments without a cash register?

If this is something you are worried about, store enough non-perishable (eg canned) food in your home so you don’t starve in that scenario.

Quite possibly true, it’s just that I haven’t seen this kind of thing from xkcd before.

Not possible with OsmAnd, if you want to edit geometry you need a full featured editor. For Android one option is Vespucci.

Is Randall now just retelling YouTube videos from 2013? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eKc5kgPVrA

As somebody has by now set up @xkcdbot@lemmy.world to post directly to the existing xkcd community, I’m withdrawing this request for as long as that remains working.

Probably true. https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything-except-the-outgroup/ was written before most people cared much about this but certainly applies very strongly to it. I am fortunately not directly affected by it either way (I am neither trans nor a woman nor have any desire to pretend to be trans in order to get access to women’s spaces) so it doesn’t get my emotions up much to read any side’s arguments; I can see why that may be different for others.

What are you doing to “compare both”? If you’re just looking at them, it is possible you are actually looking at a JPEG embedded in the raw file.

Try editing them both and comparing that, eg raising shadows or changing brightness and contrast.

When I first became active on reddit, I admired how few sitewide rules they had and how much free speech they allowed.

Now they ban debate about one of the most contentious and multifaceted societal issues of the present. What are online discussion forums there for if not to openly and civilly exchange ideas about issues like this?

IRC still exists. Forums are somewhat hard to host nowadays because lots of governments have passed laws imposing more and more regulation, liability and duties of care on operators of web platforms. We would need to start movements to repeal those laws first, I’m certainly in favor of that! But I think the future of forums is nonetheless ActivityPub; it is a lot better to be able to read about all topics that interest me on one website rather than having to click through many different ones.

Flash games: why do you want those back? Flash is a proprietary platform and it’s a good thing we can now do the things we used to do with it directly in the browser with HTML5 and JS. You can still play Flash games with Ruffle, there are still websites out there that host them.

Video sites that aren’t YouTube: nowadays videos can be much more easily hosted elsewhere than YouTube than was the case in the 2000s. Many social media platforms allow direct upload of videos and any website operator can easily directly embed a video without needing either YouTube or something based on Flash Player. So I’m not sure what you’re nostalgic for when it comes to this topic.

because the UK gave up most of that power in the second half of the 20th century, now the UK is a relatively small country (by area and population) that is increasingly isolating itself from the world (Brexit) rather than attempting to influence global politics a lot more than other countries of comparable size, population, and wealth

But the US is slowly losing influence too. In 1990 its side had won the Cold War, but since then other things have happened: 9/11, Iraq War, George W. Bush, the war on terror, Donald Trump; many geopolitical events of the present can be explained (in part) by the fact that the US is losing influence over the world.

Is this not basically true, that that is how group federation works? Not sure what exactly you are trying to say.

That would be even better, but according to this, only moderators of the community can request that from rss.ponder.cat. I am not a moderator of this community, so this is why I wrote my request the way I did; if you want to chime in there, go ahead.

If you want (!) to map this at all (I see little use in this, who is going to use this data), then yeah, one line for each flight of stairs, connect them with highway=footway and tag layers/levels, bridge=yes, as applicable.

Who is “he”? I think they might mean Donald Trump, who AFAIK is a resident of Florida?

The worst bills in Congress are usually overwhelmingly supported by both parties.
