  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

  • Awesome. That seems like the way to go then!

  • Gay Republican candidate melts down when he figured out that his party is homophobic

  • That’s fine.

    In that case you can feel free to ignore the US-specific portion and go back to the first “no, they are synonyms” statement.

  • Are there good alternatives?

    I feel like forums really fell behind the times, with shitty threading systems and awkward text formatting interfaces and the horror that is bbcode.

    Meanwhile discord handles image embedding gracefully, with markdown formatting and previews.

    What’s the next-gen forum system that’s keeping up with modern times? Is there a part of the fediverse that meets this?

    Discourse seems the most modern, but not sure if it is open, let alone federated.

    Lemmy almost fills it but tends to be too ephemeral and doesn’t handle multiple forums/channels for one broad topic.

  • No but yes but no.

    I’m not sure you are serious/genuine here but I’m also not sure you deserve the downvotes and I have some time to kill.

    “Republic” is “rule by the people” (Rex public). It means the same as democracy (“people rule”). The only difference is Latin vs Greek.

    As used in the US, your description kinda-sorta covers the principles that the parties once maybe kinda stood for 150 years ago or so. (Something like “more federal power / less federal power”).

    In reality these days they’re just labels for two different groups, and the words have no connection in this context, it’s just an historical note.

  • It’s both, and they are in a sense the same.

    Cheaper less skilled or less experienced programmers take longer to get similar results. One week with a a skilled programmer is a lot more value than one week with an unskilled programmer.

    Even more if you want to invest some of that experienced programmer time to get the new guy up to speed.

  • Trump administration cancels grant allowing Illinois schools to buy from local farmers.

  • Still don’t understand why they were or are prohibited from buying those vegetables.

    Are they just saying it’s now more expensive without the grant?

  • France and Germany, in joint collaboration, have developed a Google Docs alternative - and its awesome! (Netherlands are currently onboarded)

    Jump

  • As long as it has a better interface I’ll be happy. Looking forward to trying this.

    Jump

  • Why the hell would you need a grant to allow that? Can’t they buy from whoever they please?

    TIL: In 2004, a meme map was created that satirizes the red/blue states scheme by dividing the United States and Canada into "The United States of Canada" and "Jesusland."
