ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Organic Maps Forked Over Governance Concerns: CoMaps is BornEnglish4·3 days agoGlad to be of help and that you’re up and running! :D
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Organic Maps Forked Over Governance Concerns: CoMaps is BornEnglish23·3 days agoI had to go to the F-droid setting, click on Include Anti-Features, then enable ‘Tethered Network Services’ for it to show up in the F-droid search.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Opensource@programming.dev•CoMaps now available on F-DroidEnglish14·3 days agoOrganic Maps leadership became sus, so the community forked.
More details here: https://news.itsfoss.com/organic-maps-fork-comaps/
tl;dr they began to introduce proprietary code and were caught using project funds on personal expenses and vacations.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•SAIC & Geely launch their own EV transporter ships - electrive.comEnglish2·4 days ago“the 11th and 12th decks are specifically used to transport hydrogen and natural gas-fueled new energy vehicles.” The green LNG-fuel-powered vessel will be used to service European markets via the Cape of Good Hope route, as well as the China-Brazil route, “and other strategic pathways,” the manufacturer wrote.
Disappointing. From the headline, I thought the container ship itself was electric, like with an Iron Air Oxide battery as described in this article.
As it is, the article is basically just saying “Hey, this EV company got their own fossil fuel powered transport ship. And there’s some fossil fuel cars on a couple decks too! Cool huh?”

ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Europe@feddit.org•Russia planning attack on Nato ‘to test article 5’, warns GermanyEnglish7·4 days agoTheir military is in shambles. Satellite photos show their armored vehicle stockpiles are virtually empty, to the point where they’re sending some troops on suicide runs using ATV’s, golf carts, and motorcycles because they don’t have enough APC’s to spare.
They are in no shape to invade anyone besides ukraine.
Oh and as for the local communities you follow, they will have to move as well, so be sure to check if there’s a post saying where they’ll go at some point.
You’re welcome ^^
I wish you well finding a new home!
No idea, I’m just regurgitating another person’s comment who mentioned that thunder was in progress 😅
Lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month.
You will need to create a new account on a new instance. You can export your current subscriptions, blocks, and favorited comments and posts by clicking on the Export JSON file in your profile settings page, which you can then use to import at your new instance. You’ll need to export that file before the 30th.
To help find a new instance, check out this comment.
It’s a totally different project with a different codebase, but is Lemmy/activitypub compatible. Currently only one app supports it (interstellar), but more are coming (thunder).
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Fediverse@lemmy.world•lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this monthEnglish10·12 days agoAfter checking just now, it appears that it does! :D
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Fediverse@lemmy.world•lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this monthEnglish7·12 days agoLemmy.world is already the largest instance, recommending it to more people seems like it’d just speedrun burnout like what happened to lemm.ee, not to mention centralization around .world goes against the philosophy of the fediverse.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Fediverse@lemmy.world•lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this monthEnglish6·12 days agoThat’s a good point. On a similar note, Programming.dev had pretty severe database breakage that took quite some time to fix, but thankfully both instances seem to be healthy and working well nowadays. :)
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Fediverse@lemmy.world•lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this monthEnglish74·12 days agoFor lemm.ee users who will be migrating to new instances: You can export your subscriptions and blocks to import them to your new instance! You can export that info in your profile settings panel, and import it from the same page on your new instance.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Fediverse@lemmy.world•lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this monthEnglish711·12 days agoGeneral instances:
Sopuli.xyz is a great medium sized general purpose instance. Good admins that update to the latest Lemmy release consistently.
Lemmy.cafe could be another option if you’d prefer a smaller general purpose instance (to help spread the load and prevent the burnout that lemm.ee experienced) that’s also run by a solid admin.
Themed instances:
Retrolemmy.com - a cool place for retro tech/game enthusiasts
Literature.cafe - For book lovers and readers!
lemmy.dbzer0.com - fantastic instance for Anarchists and those who like to go Yarr! 🏴☠️
Programming.dev - For techies interested in programming and linux
Mander.xyz - Focused on Science and Nature
Lemmy.zip - PC Gaming and Tech focused
You can find more over at Lemmyverse.net
Piefed:
If you’re willing to try an entirely new way to interact with Lemmy and the threadiverse, consider giving Piefed.social a try, a completely independent project from Lemmy. It’s still a little behind in some ways, but also has a bunch of features that lemmy doesn’t. If you’re a community mod looking to migrate, Piefed apparently makes it particularly easy!
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Games@sh.itjust.works•Sid Meier's Pirates! - In-depth Written Amiga Review With PicsEnglish4·12 days agoAnd Pirates Gold on the Sega Genesis is a good option for any emulation handhelds, basically a pixel art version of the remake.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Spain aims to ban flushing of wet wipes, with manufacturers paying for cleanupEnglish131·12 days agoJust wanna throw it out there that Bidets are super cheap, wildly effective, and quick to install on any toilet.
You also don’t need warm water, as your bunghole is actually surprisingly insensitive to temperature!
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•Hexbear's reaction to yesterday's firebombing in Boulder, COEnglish262·13 days agoI think the modified horseshoe theory describes it best.
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.netto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court denies challenges to bans on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazinesEnglish11·13 days agoI misunderstood what you were after, since I consider neo-nazi’s to be neo-fascists. If you wanted examples of people resisting fascist or tyrannical governments only, there’s not many examples of that happening in the US specifically since those movements would be almost immediately and harshly quashed. I don’t know if you’d consider the Battle of Athens to count since it was only against a corrupt local town government. And the Battle of Blair Mountain, I assume, doesn’t really count either.
For larger scale conflicts, we’d have to go abroad and often farther back in history, which may disqualify it from what you’re looking for.
Examples:
-
Rojava using weapons to protect against tyrannical and oppressive neighbor states
-
The Spanish Civil War, which was leftists (even George Orwell joined in!) vs. the fascist army of Francisco Franco (plus Documentary with more detail)
-
Nestor Makhno’s Black Army during the Russian Revolution (plus short historical video)
-
True. I’ll change the title of the post instead of using the video title. The video clearly shows how peaceful it is, and compares that to the White House propaganda.
