What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

Think of it as an opensource alternative to reddit!

Amazon plans to use automation to replace more than 600,000 workers who would otherwise be hired in the United States by 2033, according to internal documents obtained by The New York Times. By that time, the company is expected to sell about twice as many goods as it does today.

Amazon’s robotics team is reportedly working toward the goal of automating 75% of its entire business. By 2027, it is expected to eliminate around 160,000 jobs in the US, saving the company an estimated $12.6 billion — equivalent to around 30 cents per item delivered.

SpaceX says it has cut service to more than 2,500 Starlink devices at Myanmar scam centres, in response to reports that their use by crime gangs for satellite internet service had soared.

Starlink has come from nowhere to become the war-torn country’s biggest internet provider in three months, recent data from the Asian regional internet registry APNIC shows.

Hey all, I've been replacing more and more Google and proprietary apps with open source apps from FDroid or downloaded with Obtainium. However it looks like only apps approved for Android Auto and on Google Play will work with Android Auto... for example, only the Google Play version of CoMaps will show up on Android Auto.

What are some alternatives to Android Auto? I'm open to anything, I'd like to be able to use my Hyundai Ioniq's infotainment screen but separate hardware is something I'd definitely consider if it was worth the effort!

I’ve always heard that Democrats in America would be considered a “right leaning” party in Europe, however I’ve wondered about someone who considers themselves progressive, where they would line up on the spectrum in Europe.

For example I want:

  • Universal Healthcare
  • UBI
  • Taxation of the rich
  • Marriage and general equality for LGBTQ+ persons
  • Better public transport and corresponding social services for all people

Is there something I’m missing in my views, or is that generally what left leaning progressives are looking for in Europe?

Click. Ugh. Another one.

You know the drill. You land on a new website, eager to read an article or check a product price, and before the page even finishes loading, it appears: the dreaded cookie banner. A pop-up, a slide-in, a full-screen overlay demanding you "Accept All," "Manage Preferences," or navigate a labyrinth of toggles designed by a corporate lawyer.

Why do we keep two people from Poland imprisoned forever, one way up north, the other way down south? I'm assuming they're imprisoned, because nobody would stay there this long otherwise.

What was their crime? When will it be enough?

I've heard that people sometimes go visit them, i assume to throw things at them, because they never bring any of them back!
