It's a meme. This image shows a lemmy user asking a highly technical question and a caption saying that that is the least technical user, implying that all other lemmy users are even more technical.

Yup. From the article:

Payments of the bonds to the descendants of creditors was only finalised in 2015 when the British Government decided to modernise the gilt portfolio by redeeming all remaining undated gilts.

Since 2018, numerous Freedom of Information Act requests have been sent to the British government and Bank of England for the names of those who were paid with the bonds, of which all were denied.

Britain paid reparations to the slaveowners and their descendants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Compensation_Act_1837
The last check went out in 2015. So yes, people alive today benefited from this. directly.
If they want to make it fair, they should pay reparations to the descendants of enslaved people and/or take back the money they gave to slaveowners.

The men can only move 1 square in any direction, while women can move anywhere on their row/column/diagonal. Clearly this biological difference is why they have separate men's and women's chess tournaments. Also, I hear trans people can double jump.

interesting.
the default config file is basically "Drew's preferences watered down a bit for a general audience"
alacritty used to be Drew's preferred terminal for sway.
sway does not come packaged with any terminal.

foot does not come with sway. why do you think foot comes with sway? foot and sway are unrelated.
they're both good wayland software, though

  1. a bunch of nascar fans were chanting "fuck joe biden" at a car show
  2. a reporter thought they were cheering "let's go brandon" (one of the racecar drivers was named brandon)
  3. right wingers start using "let's go brandon" as a minced oath instead of saying "fuck joe biden"
  4. left wingers start using "let's go brandon" to signal support for joe biden. this turns into the dark brandon meme

Yes. American politics are that silly.

Owncast, a live video streaming platform, has fediverse integration.

[-] janWilejan@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Owncast is an open source streaming platform. It's great for watch parties and it has its own built-in chat.

You can see a list of public streams in the Owncast Directory

Nope. The Business Source License isn't an open source license. https://opensource.org/licenses/ (not to be confused with the Boost Source License, which is open source).

I think you're missing the forest for the trees here.

PeerTube accounts are for video makers, not video watchers. If I want to watch a PT video, I can do so without an account. If I want to leave a like or comment, I'll do so from my mastodon or misskey account. The reason Peertube servers don't tend to federate with each other is because they don't need to: they federate with mastodon/misskey/pleroma servers for the people who want to watch. (also, the https://spectra.video/about/follows page OP linked seems to ignore non-peertube follows?)

As for finding new videos on PeerTube, I recommend using sepiasearch.org
