The problem is that “master” means several things. There is Masters degree, master sword, master blacksmith, master copy, all of which have absolutely nothing to do with master / slave.

The Git “master” terminology came from “master copy”. There’s an email thread online where someone asked Linus Torvalds the origin and this is what he said.

The whole thing about it being about master / slave was some random uneducated person guessing, and they were wrong.

I agree that main is simpler and clearer, but it has nothing to do with racism.

Thunderbird is going hard on Rust all of a sudden. Recently they started using it in Thunderbird and now they’re starting a whole service in Stalwart (written in Rust).

Super awesome.

Everything was worse at some point earlier on. That doesnt mean much. PRC came from ROC, so it wasn’t progress.

It sounds like that’s what I’m talking about. It was Imperial -> ROC -> PRC, not Imperial -> PRC.

The only progress was ROC. PRC was worse.

It’s like saying “Oh you don’t like Trump fucking up everything in our government so it’s way more authoritarian? Well it’s much better than when the US was imperial England, so it’s still progress.”

There’s a step missing.

But before CCP wasn’t it ROC, not imperial China?

it’s not

it is

years are a unit of time and you can’t count time

wtf lmfao

I feel like bananas would be cold as hell if they were growing that fast.

Switched to Posteo and Addy.io

Weird, LinkedIn works for me with Addy and a custom address. Same with GitHub.

Interesting, what sites have you experienced that with? I haven’t gotten blocked from anything so far.

Addy.io

Life changing. SimpleLogin sucks so much.

I use Bitwarden for passwords and notes

Ecosia is building a custom search engine index, ETA summer 2025

Instances are stores (think Amazon or Etsy). Products are posts. Sellers are users.

Stores aren’t protected from being defederated. You can still search Google or whatever, still visit the site and buy stuff. It just will not be a unified search, just like how anything else works with ActivityPub.

The good stores would be run by admins who don’t have an incentive to defederate from others. Stores don’t make money or take a cut from sellers anyway. The sellers aren’t in charge of the instance, just like an Etsy seller can’t do anything about the fact that they have competitors on Etsy.

The need for decentralization is that the store / Amazon / Etsy is broken up but the search and interactions, reviews, etc. are unified.

I think it makes sense. It would allow a decentralized unified search across all stores. With Lemmy I can search posts as long as the instance is federated. With this I could find products.

If you want to buy the app

GrayJay is free, just FYI

I’ve had several places say they only deliver through DoorDash.

I thought that was a problem too, but then I realized I use email aliases (and basically everyone should too) and Addy.io and other alias services support custom domains. I have a custom domain working great and use Posteo.

Posteo + Addy.io + Thunderbird

You can do that but only under paid accounts.
