I did some really basic searching and it looks like something like Yunohost might have some ActivityPub modules, and it does have some blogging modules that might work. I have not used this, so I can't say how good or bad it is, but it seemed to have potential.

I wish it were "against all odds" but by my observations, the probabilities are a lot higher than I would like.

 

The Florida judge overseeing President Trump's Mar-a-Lago classified records trial won't give the former President what he wants — for now. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for the Southern District…

Ms Greene is apparently unaware that human beings have sex, and thus is astonished when she discovered the younger Biden engaging.

 

Republicans on the House Appropriations committee stripped funding from three projects aimed at providing services to the LGBTQ+ community during Tuesday’s fiscal Department of Transportation and…

 

Mike Chitwood is a second generation Philly cop who’s waging a “war on anti-Semitism.”

Maybe a little good news, or at least a good person doing what's right in Florida which seems a rarity in their governmental bodies.

I'll see what I can do when I get an opportunity. I installed it and tried it, but since I didn't have time to really dig in, I uninstalled it after the first sanity pass failed. This was Firefox 115.02 (64-bit) Windows 10.

I hate how the Star Wars fans respond to PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. I was the biggest Star Wars geek as a kid; it was THE thing I collected and played with extensively. As many characters as I could get, ships. Made my own stuff. Generally freaking appalled at everyone's behavior since then.

 

Former President Donald Trump seemed to be trying to flatter his way out of part of his ongoing legal troubles by praising Judge Aileen Cannon — the U.S. District judge from Florida overseeing Jack…

Wish it would work for me. It's a good idea, but C-n and C-p just bring up a new page and print dialog respectively.

Also Gen X (1971) and while I remember it in first grade (so this would have been around 1976-77) I don't think it continued much past 1st grade. MAYBE 2nd. So I lucked out there I suppose. I cannot imagine getting indoctrinated by JBS though. I'm sure it would have gone down well in a lot of the midwest where I grew up, but I suppose I also lucked out there in that the school board and staff were pretty apolitical when it came to school structure.

 

Iowa Republicans, following Gov. Kim Reynolds’ (R) lead, passed a six-week abortion ban late Tuesday night after completing the entire legislative process in a one-day special session.

 

Faced with loss in the 2020 election, Trump campaign attorneys built an elaborate mind palace in which the former president could steal victory from the jaws of defeat. The problem was…

I don't disagree. However I spend most of my time in kbin.social/sub where I've already curated most of the groups I care to look at and engage with. I really only venture into /all when I'm kinda bored. Thus, so far, it hasn't really been too terribly problematic to do that.

It would be nice to declare a language whitelist and have a filter for it, but I suspect kbin has some more important things on the To Do list for the moment, and maybe devs will get around to it when they've got a breather. We're likely going to have another influx on the 1st after the alien site kicks app devs in the nuts.

You can go to that magazine, and over on the right side you can click the block button. It should be right next to Subscribe. I've done this for a lot of communities that are in languages I cannot read.

 

The ex-president talked about his daughter's breasts and "what it might be like to have sex with her," a former Trump administration official writes in a new book.

Flogging a book so it's hard to know, but there's been other verified quotes about his daughter so this claim is plausible.

If I understand right, this is a clarification (of sorts) to the standard of "true threat". Ken White covers a lot of first amendment speech issues and has a very good explanation here: https://popehat.substack.com/p/supreme-court-clarifies-true-threats

So. To the practitioner, or to the internet tough-talker, what does this mean? It means that the law of the land, at least 7-2, is that a threat is only outside the protection of the First Amendment if:

  • A reasonable person, familiar with the context, would interpret the threat as a sincere statement of intent to do harm, and
  • The speaker was reckless about whether the threat would be taken sincerely — that is, they “consciously disregarded a substantial risk” that it would be taken seriously.

Holy crap, thank you. I was thinking of the top bar as the shortcuts on Reddit (or Reddit Enhancement Suite) and I turned it on. I have no idea why it would remove the search capability for Magazines since it's functionally impossible to actually show everything on that line. However, we're in a new world now. So glad you figured that out. This is the way.

 

Seems like something on KBin changed from the day I first signed up to today. I distinctly remember at the top where it says:

kbin /m/AskKbin Threads(#) Microblog(#) People

There used to be another option for "Magazines" in which it was a search engine for magazines here and on Lemmy. That's how I set up an initial assortment of topics I was following.

It's no longer there. If I do a search for say "emacs" it's pulling up ActivityPub mentions of emacs in posts, but not actual communities.

Am I crazy and I imagined it, or is it something that was up there, but disappeared. Maybe I accidentally selected something that turned it off!

In the interim, if I'm looking for a topic, what's the best way to find a magazine about it? In this particular case I was trying to find the Lemmy Emacs community, but honestly in the end I just prayed and used /m/emacs@lemmy.ml and that worked and I subscribed. But it'd be nice to have a less hail Mary method. Thanks!
