Given the political affiliations of the author that isn’t exactly surprising.

Ah, that link actually loads. Earlier when I checked it was the wrong domain or so. But yeah, seems completely dead and mostly abandoned.

I don’t see how the car rental company is at fault in the setup you describe. And the biggest mistake is using a scammy 3rd party like booking’com for interacting with the car rental company (or a hotel etc.). And if you really think this is intentionally done, then you should complain to booking*com that they shouldn’t list that car rental company.

Edit: just to clarify: correct spelling of the name is important for insurance purposes. And if you had booked with the rental company directly then there would have been no issue with changing the name most likely.

Is that instance still online?

The app itself might be fine, but you are either using the Mozilla services or the backend written by Mozilla. Sadly Mozilla has lost all the good will it had and is just another silicon valley AI company these days, and seems to prefer it that way.

Depends on what is down. If it isn’t a catastrophic failure of everything, then here: https://health.f-hub.org/

The whole post rides on the radical narrative that corruption is at extreme levels and the “socialist elite”, “subsidy-dependent immigrants” are responsible.

I can’t find this in the article or the github repo, but indeed this seems to be a one person vibe-coded project.

That article has a strong AI slop smell.

That’s from Mozilla, another AI company…

Thanks. Of course small donations also help 👍

Can you DM me the issue you had with https://contribute.f-hub.org/ ? I don’t see any failed transactions in the Stripe backend.

Thanks and added to the list.

We intentionally are a smaller themed instance that doesn’t interact with any bots that fill the federated feed with posts from other instances automatically. This results in our “All” feed being much more usable than on other instances, but it also requires some curation if a single member decides to subscribe to a high post volume bot driven community as that drowns out all the organic posts shared by real users.

The point with defederation would be really that these instances have no real users and only consist of bot communities, so banning the bots from these instances individually would make little sense.

In general I think if you just want to use a RSS feed reader or alternative frontend for Reddit, then you should do so and not abuse Lemmy for this purpose, especially since it degrades the experience for other people on the same instance.

The first three on this list can do it: https://joinjabber.org/docs/apps/android/

Supposedly, but apparently 1.0 is still months out.

If you use ntfy mainly as a Unified Push distributor on Android, then I highly recommend switching to a XMPP client that can do the same.

https://github.com/lldap/lldap is much simpler.

Good question, but I think you will need to ask the original author.

The coal plants are mostly lignite, which can be locally mined (at great environmental cost). From an energy security perspective this makes sense over being reliant on foreign natural-gas or uranium processing capabilities.

Xmpp and Matrix have bridges that only require to install WhatsApp on some old phone and turn it on once every few weeks to renew the connection.

This works independent of what is mentioned in the OP’s link.

That would be something you could maybe change in your browser. From our side it would need a custom theme to load the font. I think in Piefed that is a bit easier as you can add custom css in the settings.
