Let’s see if they take it down now that the spotlight is on.

Much better to add features to your software that make it unusable in totalitarian situations.
For example
- if you’re building a reddit clone, make each subreddit elect their moderators every few months.
- Maybe ask How fat is Kim Jon Un during installation.
- Display the text “Taiwan is not a part of China” in the status bar, randomly
…and so on. The possibilities are endless.

Rimu@piefed.socialto News@lemmy.world•Some migrants were told they'd be sent to Libya, attorneys say as they try to block the deportationsEnglish14·2 months ago“a documented history of migrant abuse” is such a nice way to put it.
A quick search for “libya migrant mass graves” brings up this - https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/02/1159951
That’s not ‘migrant abuse’. That’s somewhere on the spectrum between genocide and mass murder.
I remember when MS made the perfect control panel in Win 2k and XP then spent the next 20 years making it worse and worse just because.
And here we are.
Rimu@piefed.socialto News@lemmy.world•'These guys work six 12-hour days': VT dairy farms anxious after migrant workers arrestedEnglish662·2 months agoI’m conflicted.
Making those poor bastards work 12 hour days, 6 days per week for small money is pretty fucked.
Sending them to somewhere that may be a death camp is worse tho.
Feels like the article set up a false dichotomy.
Rimu@piefed.socialto World News@lemmy.world•‘There were no warning signs’: what happens when your partner falls into the ‘manosphere’?English2071·2 months ago“Do you regularly watch videos by Jordan Peterson?” kinda needs to become one of those before-first-date screening questions.

So, a failure even on their own terms.

Rimu@piefed.socialto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Using NoScript to selectively block JavaScript across all websites has opened my eyes to the sewers we wade through onlineEnglish30·2 months agohttps://piefed.social is 99% functional with noscript, if you’re into that. I have JS disabled while posting this comment.
I hope they do this, it’d make the APIopolypse look like a practice run.
