Im not kidding one bit when I say, "We need open source Vehicle & Engine Manage System software and hardware!"

I want to be able to flash my Car's ECU with custom FOSS software. Yes, you can already replace the ECU with custom tuneing opetions that cost an arm and a leg. I want there to be Open Source Software and Hardware for consumer vehicles!

    critics have warned early evidence from Australia shows the ban fails to keep children off social media platforms and risks pushing children into less regulated spaces on the internet.

    NO FUCKING SHIT SHIRLOCK!

    What these Boomer polititions fail to realise is that the under 16 year olds are far more tech literate than they are, and the younger generation has been conditioned to believe that irl socialisation is risky and online life/status is paramount. You can't just pull the rug from under these kids, you have to actually teach better behaviours that form allow kids to form better habbits and relationships with technology, and with other humans.

    Anyone that has an anxiety attack from the thought of talking to someone face to face or over the phone needs an intervention if you ask me

    OP's comment:

    Probably more of a layup, and still nowhere near as cool as shod by u/narrow_assignment but it's getting there.

    window decorations painstakingly stolen from shod by manually cutting up screenshots.

    shod generates it's decoration at runtime from a single base colour using HSY colour math. I tried to replicate this in neuwm but struggled to get the decorations looking perfect. So I decided to just pull in PNG assets at compile time via the neuswc decor parts API, resulting in pixel-perfect control over the bevel geometry, including the (currently non-functional) button ornaments. The tradeoff is a recompile to change themes, but the visual quality is worth it.

    I have also included a version without titlebars, similar to emwm > screenshot

    I think there’s a legit use case for this if it’s done carefully. A lot of people aren’t on Reddit because they want to be, they’re there because their communities are. When those communities are small or niche, there’s often nothing comparable elsewhere (yet!).

    A mirror community can act as a bridge. It gives people a way to start using Lemmy or PieFed without feeling like they’re completely missing out. Migration isn’t instant, it’s gradual, and without some level of content to start with, people won’t stick around long enough to contribute.

    I agree that simply blasting communities with everything from Reddit with no limits is the wrong approach. But I do feel that a more targeted, slower mirror for a specific community can help people transition over time and eventually build something independent.

    Sorry piefed.social for the spam. That's it now. The piefed mirrior is now up to date with reddit. I promise not to flood you with any more screenshots!
