They already lost users in authoritarian countries like Russia or China, where Signal is blocked and you can’t get an SMS via a VPN, so registration or logging in with 2FA becomes impossible.

Why so? Hoarding money, as well as burning them, is practically equivalent to returning them to the treasury. Spending them wastes labour.

Depends on the instance. Lemmy.org does allow you to do this, but it was defederated by most mainstream instances due to lack of spam control.

The decision to record the entire process could prove vital if the buyer seeks a refund. The footage begins before the package is opened and captures the pickup-point employee handing it over, making it much harder to suggest the customer swapped the card himself.

We’ve had a nice run of the world where photos and videos could be used as proofs of the reports and everyone with a camera could be a trusted journalist (about 1895–2025). This world is now gone. Just like in 1800s, now you either trust someone’s words or don’t, and reputation of the individual is the only thing you might consider. Established newspapers are relevant again, citizen journalism is dying.

Well, writing bash scripts is sometimes useful in everyday live.

What else can it possibly be?

The mission of Codeberg is to kill GitHub. If people won’t be able to transfer ALL their repos over, not concerning themselves with what is compatible, that would be substantially harder to achieve.

There are ways to do this on some devices. Here’s an article about it, Google translate’d to English:

These are literally the first passages from Wikipedia.

What country doesn’t have domestic weapons manufacturing? Is it a problem when US or France do it?

Production. Meat production (factory farming) is the largest CO2 source.

The 870 tonnes of CO2 the E network now produces for yearly operation is equivalent to eating 290000 cheeseburgers, as much as the world eats burgers in one day and one hour.

The Örebro Party (Swedish: Örebropartiet, ÖP or ÖrP) is a political party in Sweden. The party was initially only a local party in Örebro, Sweden. Markus Allard is the party leader. According to Allard the party cannot be placed anywhere on the traditional left-right spectrum. The party has been variously characterised as left-wing and right-wing, as well as populist, nationalist and conservative.

Some key issues for the Örebro Party locally include strong secularism, a 30-hour workweek with retained pay, lowered wages for politicians, expanded social housing, abolishing preschool-fees, making public transport free of charge,[3] ending taxpayer funding of what it sees as wasteful sculptures, monuments and art and introducing free dental care.[4][5] Nationally the party has set out large-scale remigration, closing the Swedish borders to immigration, a stricter assimilation policy and ending taxes on energy and fuel as some of its key issues.[6][7]

Don’t see anything particularly racist. And since when domestic weapons manufacture is the problem?

Already banned

Banning some technology just because it “harms the reputation” of a platform sounds a lot like Visa and PayPal attacks on Steam and Itch Io to ban NSFW games.

Crypto technology is diverse. Nano and NanUSD are completely carbon-neurtal as they have zero fees. Gridcoin helps scientific research.

Crypto may be tainted in the US where banking systems are okay, but for individuals in third-world sanctioned countries like Iran it is a life saver. For people in authoritarian countries, it is the only way to fund journalism and civil rights organisations that are illegal in their countries.

The original proposal contained a ban on all blockchain technology, and another code hosting service did that. It is a technology that is used by some governments to democratise digital elections. Fraud in 2022 Moscow council elections was uncovered because they relied on a blockchain technology.

In 2022, the US government announced that it would require access to biometric databases of countries if they wish to keep visa exemption for their citizens travelling to the US, including European Union (EU) Member States.

If copyright status is the reason, they should ban any, even a single-line AI contributions.

And it seems a short-sighted decision. Now AI is slop, but what about in 10? 20 years? They would rewrite TOS again?

And what about people they want to migrate from GitHub?

It’s also compatible with Mint, Zorin, Xubuntu, etc, which are another leading distros than Fedora.

What do you mean? Any distro is compatible with any other distro.

Ubuntu forces Snaps (app packaging format) down your throat that take up more space and RAM than Flatpaks, were developed with powerful servers in mind first and common user second and are less commutity-developed standard. Also, last time I checked it had some sponsored bloatware.

According to forensic cryptocurrency researcher ZachXBT and the online malware repository vx-underground, BlockBlasters alone accounted for roughly $150,000 of the stolen cryptocurrency from between 261 and 478 victims. That included $32,000 stolen from Twitch streamer RastalandTV in September 2025. The streamer, who was undergoing cancer treatment, had received the money as donations from viewers to help cover medical expenses.
