Sort of off topic but I wish I had a kotatsu in my apartment. And an apartment big enough to have space for a kotatsu.

I tried a lot, but Toot! is the best of the bunch.

To clarify, I meant posts on kbin/Lemmy, so that someone would land on kbin/Lemmy when searching for things, like people do now with Reddit.

I got some bootleg Airpods from Temu that my iPhone recognizes and treats as Airpods. I call them my Airpuds. LOL. But, tbh, the audio quality is on par with my wife’s actual Airpods. The construction isn’t as solid and I wouldn’t sweat on them much, but for 20 bucks, I’m happy with them.

I disagree with the use of “Christian Right” in the headline. This isn’t really about religion. These positions have been GOP positions for a long time.

Affirmative action itself was racist by definition, because it discriminated solely based on skin color. It needed to go. There are problems with certain minorities making it into higher education, but that can be solved by changing how taxes are distributed to schools, not by letting unqualified people into college programs.

Student loan forgiveness was a joke from the start. If you didn’t want to pay back the loans, you shouldn’t have taken them. If the issue is the cost of higher education, then we should focus on passing legislation restricting the amount that can be charged for college tuition.

Regarding the cake issue, you can’t compel speech, and last I checked, art was considered speech. So, decorating a cake in a specific way is speech that can’t be compelled. This isn’t 1850. There’s more than one baker in town. If you don’t like the policies of a particular bakery, go to the next one. The hyperbolic responses about “No Jews allowed” is ridiculous, because that would be religious discrimination, which is a separate issue. Also, it seems a little wild to accuse the Christian Right of not supporting Jews (Israel).

Artemis is supposed to support kbin and Lemmy. If it doesn’t support Lemmy right away, then it wouldn’t help to register on a Lemmy instance, because Artemis still wouldn’t support Lemmy.

You’re right that you can’t sign into a Lemmy instance with your kbin credentials. Each site is it’s own site. If something is posted on lemmy.world, it sends a notice to kbin.social and kbin.social fetches the info and publishes it locally on kbin as well. Comments on the kbin post are sent back to lemmy.world. There’s basically a copy of the post and comments on every server. Not every server will “know” about every other server though, so content could push across the entire federated network slowly sometimes.

Governments should just set up a single user ActivityPub instance to broadcast their updates.

I have a feeling that Meta getting involved in Federation is going to be the doorway for a lot more people to figuring this out.

Are kbin or Lemmy posts being indexed by search engines? If the content was created, would anyone be able to find it?

Yeah? I kind of figure that’s how it’d be for me. I like the idea of how the Apple Watch integrates with iPhone, but I don’t like the way it looks.
