Odd. Do you get anything from lemmy.world at all? Maybe your ISP is blocking the server?

If your landlord is the type to want to evict you legally, well, last I heard the Landlord and Tenant Board was still kind of backlogged, so you may have a grace period of uncertain length to sort things. There's a process the landlord is supposed to go through, and it takes a while.

If your landlord's the type to hire a couple of big, beefy guys to throw you out on the street without waiting for the legal proceedings, there isn't much you can do.

No significant change from the past couple of decades, then.

I'd argue that it is a paywall—you're just paying in data rather than currency.

(A lot of these can be bypassed, with varying amounts of inconvenience, by deactivating Javascript for that site.)

The actual difference, from the point of view of someone not contributing code to either project?

Wayland is newer code, and provides better support for some hardware features of more recent origin like HiDPI. Because it's newer, it can be a bit buggy/flaky sometimes, but it seems to be past the worst of that now and works well enough for many people. On modern hardware, it will probably provide a marginally better visual experience for someone who's paying close attention to details like animation smoothness (stuff that I personally don't care about).

X is older, more stable, and has certain core features (X forwarding, for instance) that Wayland prefers to leave for third-party software to implement. It's also a child of an earlier era, and wasn't designed with the expectation that it would be under attack 24/7 by malicious actors from around the world. The codebase, like those of many other older pieces of software, contains a certain amount of cruft and miscellaneous technical debt, and between that and the fact that X isn't adding new! shiny! features, it's harder to get coders to work on it. I've always found it to be solidly reliable provided that it's being used in the sort of environment that was most common until recently (a single largish screen of <100dpi resolution with a constant refresh rate).

Basically, the government chose the wrong justification for banning these items and are going to have to come up with a new one. Business as usual in the political world.

That's weird. For me it has a full set of posts, most recent a day ago. Maybe it's blocked for you for some reason?

(Looks at own screen, which is in fact set up for Times New Roman everywhere. Coughs.)

Sorry to tell you this, bot, but the URL works better for people on all but the most populous instances.

You mean you leave that enabled? 😱

They used the type of link that goes to where the community would be on your server if someone there had already subscribed. Try the absolute location on lemmy.world to decide whether you're interested or not (and I wonder how long it will take a bot to complain about that link?)

You can justify maybe up to one year of lag with "we overscheduled, oops". But twelve months should be plenty of time to clean house and get things sorted out. (WIT Studios were actually the ones doing Attack on Titan when they had the four-year break between seasons 1 and 2, and I don't approve of them doing it either—however, the reasoning behind it seems to have been marketing-related rather than poor scheduling.)

T'be honest, it looks to me like the management team at MAPPA has bitten off way more than they can chew, and that they've been following that pattern for a while. It isn't a matter of taking their time or not, it's a matter of not accepting more work than they can actually do.
