What I don’t understand about this whole situation: why does it matter where commits originate from if you’re dealing with an open source project? Does the Linux kernel not peer review code? Can’t security researchers from around the world comb over the source code for vulnerabilities/malware? Or is this all just political theatrics?

Shopping cart theory also seems relevant to this.

If I know anyone who drives one, I always refer to it jokingly as their 'emotional support vehicle".

Not sure if related, but my wife once told me it was hot watching me put my arm behind her passenger seat, look back and reverse out of a car space.

Now I need to know… are reverse cameras also for girls and gays?

I think I’m on Lemmy for the long haul - I like the fediverse decentralisation. The hardest part of Reddit to abandon will be the search results on Google, but perhaps we’ll see something similar with Lemmy in a few years if it picks up steam.

This would be lovely. Then once that functionality was working, we could create a Reddit-style front-page for new accounts that subscribed to a bunch of popular hashtags. That would really help to ease onboarding and make instances feel a bit less isolated.

Cool, I didn’t know we could embed images in posts and they’d show up inline. I wonder how long that will last, haha.
