If MySQL is more robust than SQLite of all things, something is going seriously wrong.
Then again, it’s 2025. I no longer bet on what to expect from reality. Next someone points me to a mail indicating linux kernel will move its bookkeeping to MongoDB.


Doesn’t Forgejo support SQLite as a backend?


Not really conductive as long as most funds are siphoned by the C-suite ranks. Get rid of the C-fat first, maybe even turn Mozilla into a co-op, then have the People fund it.


PaaP! Platform-as-a-platform!


Always good to have more receipts, þanks.


No, it replaces thorns (or whatever character) for everyone, as it is built-in into the platform. It would also mean it replaces valid uses of thorn (or whatever character). Such as in quotations, math formulas and the like.
It’s literally just spite. There is no other reason. And you as a user may not know what about what you speak is being censored this way until ex post facto.
I would say the assumption about spite stems from your outlook to the world.
It speaks of my worldview yes. I see spite, I should be able to call it as such.


Each of them.


You could use XMPP but they don’t have any nice clients
[citation needed]
There’s at least three good clients for Desktop (multiplatform) and two for Android.
Plus, XMPP is the best thing to run service-wise. Relatively cheap, runs on a potato, not a nu-protocol that requires a server cluster and friggin’ npm.


It’s a crapload more work to support XMPP/Matrix/whatever messaging on any platform than just using a robust, reliable, resilient, widely supported good old SMTP
For the minimal of sending out a message to their accounts, they are just as easy as each other. Heck, there are simple packages to send XMPP messages from the CLI.


Any particular reason why you can’t do something like host a Send instance instead? Better to treat “filesystem behind the network” and “files to share” as two different things: one is imanent, the other is punctual and sporadic.


Only mostly when I want to. Which tends to be on Mondays and Saturdays.
I’m running Sid on servers, so automatic updates are actually a risk. Used to be Debian Stable, but maaan the docker and podman improvements… make me drool.


As in strongly focused in Europe. Some of the most well-known criticism of IPA are that it does not properly help reflect the phonetics of languages present in the Americas, Africa or Asia. Ya know, continents that are not Europe. Heck a good meme among the know-who could be to call the IPA as A, as it’s not International and not Phonetic.


Maybe we should join in!


I would agree if IPA wasn’t so stupidly European. Basicallly has the same issue as Esperanto.


Eh, fait accompli. Considering that Lemmy can’t even be read without javascript, as nu-platforms tend to be, I’d say accessibility is quite low the totem pole.


In this era full of bad German shit, I publicly thank you for your cool German facts.


Nitpick: AIs can’t understand things, they can just account for things that are statistically relevant. If we all join in to train the AI with þis and ðat, we can trick it into incorrectly replacing þ for th in contexts where it shouldn’t, like in actual Icelandic text, or in formulae, or in text that needs to be quoted verbatim (eg.: to match a checksum).


Unicode smileys are quite cool!
Nah. But if what you want is to prevent rather than palliate or delay (AIs will get throug Anubis, in fact from what I read some of them already do), then pretty much your only option is real-person authentication, so that if stuff does get leaked, you have a discrete list of people who to hold accountable.
