They said they were annulling the results of Saturday’s election, in which President Ali Bongo was declared the winner.

Military officials later said that Mr Bongo had been placed under house arrest and one of his sons arrested for treason.

His overthrow would end his family’s 53-year hold on power in Gabon.

Anyone with more info or knowledge?

Hard agree. Cocaine bear was such a fun movie!

Because they’re really different. People who don’t eat rice as a staple aren’t aware how much varieties there are and how different they taste. There are three specific varieties used just in my own house for lunch, breakfast dishes and dinner respectively.

Japanese or Thai rice are totally different in taste, consistency and texture.

It would be like trying to bake using whole wheat flour instead of refined flour.

It’s an ethinic conflict that erupted a few months ago and has escalated since.

You know I get that you don’t see 100s or even 1000s of comments on each post but I’ve found that on lemmy people are actually willing to talk to you and listen. You don’t have to worry no one will see you or reply to you because you don’t have enough upvotes.

The difference is that somehow the nets in our brains are creating emergent behaviour while the nets in code, even with a lot more power aren’t. I feel we are probably missing something pivotal in constructing them.

All of those seem reasonable 🤷🏾‍♂️

Who wanted soldiers when elephants and catapults were so much cooler? Ooo flaming archers!

All the apps except connect are open source. I’ve tried jeroba, thunder and liftoff so far and liftoff has been the most robust.

It is like any of these people have not seen any sci-fi released over the last 50 years.

Isn’t that parking? I don’t think this would be legal in many places given there wasn’t a completely egregarious contact he missed or something similar.

https://tld-list.com/tld/com have some understanding of how this works:

• There’s a non-profit organisation called ICANN at the top who basically controls everything and assigns TLD (top level domains like .com) and so on to registries.
• Registries host different TLDs and keep track of all domains under them.
• Registrar is an ICANN accredited company that can sell domain names. When you buy abcd.net from say Google domains, Google basically files your domain name with the .net registery.

As far as I know, you can’t buy a domain from ICANN directly because they don’t sell stuff? Only registrars can.

In practice there are registrars that charge you the actual price of the domain + a small registration fee (15 cents maybe) in a transparent way without any markup. An example is cloudflare.

Also in practice stay away from GoDaddy. They’re one of the most horrible companies I know. Porkbun, cloudflare, namecheap, namesilo, Google are all usually moderately priced good options. You can find details of all registrars for a tld and their prices using tld-list like: tld-list.com/tld/nameoftld.

Hope that helps :)

Same thoughts here. Went in expecting to hate it instantly and found that it sort of looked nice.

It is hilarious to see this happening. Option A, he could have just shut up, released a press statement and waited till this blew over, he didn’t do that. Option B would have been to do an AMA, engage with people and say nice but meaningless things to placate people and do whatever he wants in private, he didn’t do that either.

Instead he choses to host an AMA, copy pastes canned responses, edits his comment when someone caught it, ditches the canned response when a question is asked about the Apollo thing and doubles down, and finally leaves after answering 14 questions.

You really can’t make this shit up 🤣

Exactly! My favourite is swipe to vote up/down!

Me too. The app has a classic feel to it that isn’t replicated by other apps.

That is awesome :) Thank you for chipping in. I wasn’t aware it was this far along already!

Something that seems to be missing: Someone is working on an API compatibility/translation layer to help in porting reddit apps to lemmy and have already got some basic features working in RedReader. The RedReader (opensource Android reddit client) dev has expressed some interest in this along with the user base.

That sounds really interesting. I have some VMs set up in a similar way for family memeber though they’re very low power. They’re mostly used to ease the transition from windows to Linux. I hope you get to do it again sometime :)

That’s quite interesting. I would have thought that they were more expensive than that. I’ve been there too. You’re doing a bunch of stuff, tired and just want it to somehow work. What have you been doing with the build after that, if you don’t mind me asking?
