Villa Bellini e Catania Summer Fest, le domande di un lettore
L’accesso e la fruizione della Villa Bellini, un simbolo della Città, un luogo frequentato e amato dai catanesi di tutte le generazioni, quest’anno non è sempre possibile. Per almeno 41 giorni la Villa sarà, infatti, occupata da spettacoli musicali, rigorosamente a pagamento. Un lettore di Argo, Giovanni Rizzo, si pone, e pone a noi tutti, alcune domande. […]
“As an ex-Indian civil servant, it always makes me shout with laughter to hear, for instance, Gandhi named as an example of the success of non-violence. As long as twenty years ago it was cyn…
Ghandi's revolution succeeded through mass noncompliance.
Nonviolence was a luxury Ghandi could afford during the revolution because Indians outnumbered British soldiers by something like 20k to 1. There was no world where the recently weakened UK (after WW2) could hold India once it decided to become independent.
The article I posted above gets into this, but it was not. The British did not quit india because some guy went on a hunger strike, and they actively propagate pacifist myths like his because they are completely unthreatening.
The feeling of helplessness, and being unable to do anything about the poverty the capitalists have caused is the most frustrating thing.
Like look at the comments on any one of the videos of this channel, where somebody drives around impoverished areas of US cities, like youtube.com/watch?v=vKPI8vvw3u…. So many people are outraged and want to help eliminate systemic poverty, but don't know how.
tl;dr: Be excellent to each other, do something constructive here?
I'm not sure anymore where the Threadiverse is headed. (The Threadiverse being this threaded part of the Fediverse, i.e. Lemmy, MBin, PieFed, ...) In my time here, I've met a lot of nice people and had meaningful conversations and learned lots of things. At the same time, it's always been a mixed bag. We've always had quite some argumentative people here, trolls, ... I've seen people hate on and yell at each other, and do all kinds of destructive things. My issue with that is: Negative behavior is disproportionately affecting the atmosphere. And I'd argue we have nowhere enough nice behavior to even that out.
I don't see Lemmy grow for quite some time now. Seems it's now leveling off at a bit less that 50k monthly active users. And I don't see how that'd change.

I don't see Lemmy grow for quite some time now. Seems it's now leveling off at a bit less that 50k monthly active users. And I don't see how that'd change. I'm missing some clear vision/idea of where we want to be headed. And I miss an atmosphere that makes people want to join or stay here, of all of the places on the internet. The saying is: "If you don't go forwards you go backwards". I'm not sure if this applies... At least we're not shrinking anymore.
And I'm always unsure if the tone and atmosphere here changes subtly and gradually. I've always disagreed with a few dynamics here. But lately it feels like we're on the decline, at least to me. I occasionally keep an eye on the votes on my comments. And seems I'm getting fewer of them. Sometimes I reply to a post and not a single person interacts. Even OP seems to have abandoned their post moments after writing it. And also for nuanced and longer replies, I regularly don't get more than one or two upvotes. I think that used to be a bit better at some point. And I see the same thing happening with other peoples' comments. So it's not just me writing low-quality comments. What does work is stating simple truths. I regularly get some incoming votes with those. But my vision of this place isn't spreading simple truths, but have proper and meaningful discussions, learn things and new perspectives or just mingle with people or talk. But judging by the votes I observe, that isn't appreciated by the community here.
Another pet peeve of mine is the link aggregator aspect of Lemmy. I'd say at least 80% of Lemmy is about dumping some political (or tech) news articles. Lots of them don't generate any engagement. Lots of them are really low-effort. OP just dumps something somewhere, no body text added, no info about what's interesting about it. And people don't even read those articles. They just read the title and react (emotionally) to that. In the end probably neither OP nor the audience read the article and it's just littering the place. Burying and diminishing other, meaningful content. (With that said: There are also nice (news) discussions going on at the same time. And Lemmy is meant to be a link aggregator. It's just that my perception is: it's skewed towards low quality, low engagement and random noise.)
A few people here also don't really like political debate. And there's no escape from it here on Lemmy since so much revolves around that. And nowadays politics is about strong opinions, emotions and emotional reactions. And often limited to that. The dynamics of Lemmy reinforce the negative aspect of that, because the time when you're most incentivized to reply or react is, when it triggers some strong emotion in you, for example you strongly disagree with a comment and that makes you want to counter it and write your own opinion underneath. If you agree, you don't feel a strong emotion and you don't reply. And the majority of users seems to also forget to upvote in that case, as I lined out earlier. And we also don't write nuanced answers, dissect complex things and examine it from all angles. That's just effort and it's not as rewarding for the brain to do that as it is pointing out that someone is wrong. So it just fosters an atmosphere of being argumentative.
Prospect
I think we have several ways of steering the community: 1. Technology: Features in the software, design choices that foster good behavior. 2. Moderation: Give toxic people the boot, or delete content that drags down the place. Following: What remains is nice people and not adverse content. 3. The community
I'd say 1 and 2 go without saying. (Not that everything is perfect with those...) But it really boils down to 3: The community. This is a fairly participatory place. We are the ones shaping the tone and atmosphere. And it's our place. It's kind of our obligation to care for it if we want to see it go somewhere. Isn't it?
So what's your vision of this place? Do you have some idea on where you'd like it to go? Practical ideas on how to achieve it? Do you even agree with my perception of the dynamics here, and the implications and conclusions I came up with?
I don't have time to respond everything, but just about the growth part: Before the Reddit blackout happened, Lemmy was stuck with around 1000 monthly users for at least a year. It was quite boring compared to now, in 15 or 30 minutes you could read all new posts and comments for a day. It was also easy to recognize the handful of regular posters (cheers). At that time you could easily think the same, that Lemmy will never grow and people will leave. But then the Reddit migration happened and we got completely overwhelmed with a 70x increase in active users.
It seems to me that growth on the internet always happens with short spurts and long quiet periods. There will probably be a time when people come to Lemmy again and we reach hundreds of thousands or millions of active users. Then we will fondly remember the time when it was so small.
poVoq and anon6789 pointed out similar things with the growth happening in waves. I'm not sure if it's healthy, though. It puts additional strain on the platform, devs and mods and everyone. And there are (long) dry spells in between. I'd rather have it grow constantly and slowly. And I believe quite some other Free Software projects do. It's a bit of a different story with social media platforms as we have some unique circumstances like the network effect...
And I think the correct way to do it is to provide something to the people, so they want to join. Idk... be useful to them, a delight to spend time here. And offer something distinct or unique. That'd make the platform attractive all around the year. If we don't have a superior product, we just rely on the other platforms becoming worse and that's where our new users come from. Kind of accepting the role to be (and stay) an inferior Reddit clone. But that's not how I see Lemmy or the Fediverse. I want to attract people who've never used Reddit before.

Tech enthusiasts, ... join because it's a great platform to discuss their matters. Linux forums switch to Lemmy because it offers them interoperability. And sure, also Reddit users. But not just because they're pushed out, but because they're positively motivated to join this place.
The software is one thing. I think we've come a long way and both Lemmy and the network feel pretty stable now. It's part of the equation. But I think the thing that really makes a difference is the community and the atmosphere. That's why people would want to join. I've started this discussion now, because i think after the Reddit exodus, things had to settle down for a bit. And as other people pointed out it seems we've reached a plateau now. I think that's a comfortable position to take a step back and think about the way forward. I'd like to take this as an opportunity to not just wait for incoming waves shape us, but now decide where we want to go and actively steer in that direction.
I think Lemmy is attractive enough, but that only matters when people actually want to join something new. Thats currently not the case, so for better or for worse we have to wait for another wave.
Reddit has been declining for years as well and basically just lives on momentum from earlier days when forums or forum-likes had their heyday.
Lemmy is trying to get a cut of a shrinking user base and is doing so by being a very close copy of Reddit. It's not exactly surprising that it only "grows" when there is a wave of people annoyed with Reddit for some reason.
Your suggestions are fine, but the internet as a whole is moving to semi-private communities and Lemmy is not going to stop that overall trend.
I am planning to implement private communities soon, hopefully it can help with that. Then maybe Lemmy can become an alternative for Discord and other platforms too.

What can we do?
Votes
I think we all know votes are broken. They just show the agreement level of the mob. Not necessarily connected with quality or if something is interesting to read. I think ultimately that's unfixable. But I'd like to invite you all to vote more. People who write posts or comments need to see it's worth typing it. There has to be some interaction or we're just wearing out people who contribute. And remember to vote on comments, too. Be generous.
Posting the news
I'd say don't do it too much since we already have RSS readers and news sites. But I'm willing to yield with my personal opinion. But(!) Please only post articles that you've read yourself. If it's too boring for you to read, it's probably also too boring for the other people to read any you're just contributing to make this place be littered with random noise.

Posting links with no attached (body) text
Connected to my previous point: Ask yourself: "Why am I posting this?" Is it because you want to discuss something? If yes: Put in a minimum of effort and contribute something yourself. At least write one or two sentences in your post and don't just dump a single link. IMO you should also write a short summary for your audience so they know if they want to click on the link. If you respect them and their time.
Reacting emotionally
We all do that. Just take a step back every now and then and see if your reactions are balanced in a way that you're comfortable with. Remember you can always down-vote someone and be done with it and not start an argument. But you don't need to keep silent. Especially if you're reading a text like this and making an effort, you're probably on the good side, so I don't want you to surrender this place to the people with less approvable behavior.
Be nice
I'd say everyone of us shapes this place by their behavior. If you want it to become a nice place, be nice yourself. We all know that's easier said than done, but we can make an effort.
Diversity
I think diversity is baked in to the Fediverse. We can have different instances with different focus, different moderation policies and a different tone of conversation. The technology isn't there yet to give everyone what they want, but I think we should embrace our diversity. And do something constructive with it. That's not easy. Some people like to have "free speech" and no moderation. Some like to have civil discussions without trolls and people who are constantly wrong, yet very aggressive and argumentative. Some are meme-lords or whatever and everyone is here for their individual reasons. I don't think we need to completely unite or agree on things. But we have to find a way to get along... Be liberal with other people who might be using this place differently. But don't tolerate unacceptable behavior.
Moderators and developers
You have quite some impact here. Use it wisely. Be fair, open-minded and make this a nice place for us.
Netiquette
People figured out in the 1990s, communicating over the internet is slightly different from communicating in the offline world. They wrote an unofficial code of policies that encourage good behavior on the Internet. Used to regulate respect and polite behavior online. It's called the Netiquette (If anyone has a better link, feel free to provide it to me.) It's a bit outdated so let me copy some guidelines and paraphrase:
Never forget that there's a human being on the other side!
Read and think before posting
Share something new
Your posts represent you - Be proud of them
Consider your audience
Be careful with humor, irony, and sarcasm!
Be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you receive.
Take your time when writing a post
Make things easy for the recipient.
Don't waste people's time. You should put in a bit more effort and in return save hundreds of people from spending extra time.
People's culture, language, and humor may have different points of reference from your own
Avoid posting "Me Too" messages, (use an up-vote instead)
Consider using Reference sources (Documentation, Newspapers, Google, ...) before posting a question.
Use spoilers when applicable
Don't get involved in flame wars. Neither post nor respond to incendiary material.
Don't feed trolls!
Deal with the issue, don't attack the person
Utilize the moderators. Flag/Report unacceptable content
This document provides a minimum set of guidelines for Network Etiquette (Netiquette) which organizations may take and adapt for their own use. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
I think something which would benefit the tone or 'culture' here would be to make it immediately and publicly clear that a negative interaction is unwelcome. Rather than get into a pointless debate with a troll, simply reply "This is a rude and/or low-effort comment which nobody wants here." It might not make much difference to the troll but for anyone else who reads it it creates and reinforces expectations about behaviour. The same thing goes for positive contributions; make sure to comment letting people know when you value their contribution.
I wouldn't mind if moderation was more heavyhanded too. If someone is rude and abusive, block them from posting on the community, regardless of the point they may be trying to make. In that respect I would like to see more moderators from the community
I'm sure technical things could be done to help too. Perhaps letting users switch off visibility for posts/comments that have received a certain proportion of downvotes for example.
make it immediately and publicly clear that a negative interaction is unwelcome
I couldn't agree more strongly... I mean we kind of have that already. Everytime I see something that has a score of like -40 because of all of the downvotes, I think they got their just punishment and it's clear that no one likes what they wrote. I think it's superior to replying because it doesn't give that person any reply to start an argument. Just silence and downvotes. But however we decide to do it, i think we should be very open and upfront with what's expected behavior. And I'd like to see that happen more often.
switch off visibility for posts/comments that have received a certain proportion of downvotes
PieFed has that feature. Comments with a score less than -10 (I think) just collapse. I think we need more of those features in Lemmy and the respective apps.
Being able to do this in Lemmy and configure it would be amazing. In Piefed's implementation does it leave 'orphaned' responses to the hidden comment visible or does it hide those as well?
When I first joined Lemmy, I made a really big effort to make my interactions more positive than they were on Reddit. But the problem is that this required effort, and I am afraid over time my resolve might have eroded as the fediverse became just another online space instead of something new and distinct. This is a good reminder, but I wonder if this solution of just trying to be better is really sustainable for me or others? I’ll keep trying but we may need a more concrete change to get where we want to go.
I am curious if it’s time to evolve user engagement beyond up and downvotes. While they were relatively innovative at the time they were introduced, it’s been some years and we’re still here using the same system.
The biggest problem with voting as content curation is that people vote to communicate very different ideas and reactions in different circumstances. So people are sending the same signal to a well-researched, respectful but dissident perspective and to content that is rude, violent, hateful, incorrect etc.

So people are sending the same signal to a well-researched, respectful but dissident perspective and to content that is rude, violent, hateful, incorrect etc.
This could be solved by allowing more diverse reactions. People will always want an agree or disagree button, so give them that. But we could also vote on how factual a post is, how polite a post is, how uplifting a post is, etc. We could then build algorithms that prioritize quality content instead of just the current popularity contest. Ideally I’d like multiple transparent algorithms that the user can choose from (or leave a default chosen by their instance) so that users can choose what kind of content is most valuable to them.
One concern is whether this would be too complicated for people to understand or engage with properly. I’d be curious to hear what others think: would this just devolve into upvotes and downvotes again or could this be a better system?
Votes are needed to sort the posts and decide which ones are shown at the top of your frontpage. If we add different reaction types, it's not at all clear how each of them should affect the score. We might come up with some arbitrary numbers, but then the system will get a lot less intuitive and more complex.
Yes, the complexity is certainly one of the downsides to what I’m proposing, which is one reason why I was curious if people thought the complexity would be manageable. Sounds like you think not?
Just to clarify, my thought is to leave this up to users/admins to choose their own algorithm, which would transparently describe how things are weighted. For me, I would like to weigh factual information most highly, then kindness, with raw popularity at the bottom. But others might feel differently, especially if there were even more types of reactions than the three main categories I described.
For new users or those who don’t understand the system, it would be fine to have a default sort, maybe configurable by your instance. It could be as simple as just adding up the positive and negative votes, which would make it identical to the current system, or we could just guess at some different weights. Let me people try them out—not everyone will engage but I hope enough would to help iron out the wrinkles and see what works best.

“grab my pussy,” diapers, maxipads on ears, and now Vance sample jars
Let’s talk about those horrible JD Vance semen-sample jars for a moment, because it’s weird – holy crap it’s weird, it’s Monseur Boeuf Le Tet let’s go to Mexico and found a UFO religion weird – but it’s also gross and violent in whole new ways.
And yeah, I said violent. I meant it. Walk with me.
If you ask them, they’ll tell you it’s for Democrats. Democrats who can’t have kids, which means even on the surface level, this is exactly as gross and mean as it appears. They’re mocking people who can’t have children but want to, and echoing the Christian Nationalist line that a family isn’t a real family if they don’t have children, as well as JD Vance’s line in particular that if you don’t have biological children you aren’t a real woman.
But if you dig a little deeper, it’s even worse than that.
You see, once again, this is something that comes out of American fundamentalist cults. These items are talismans of their beliefs. Sure, they’re nasty sneers aimed at strangers they’ve chosen to degrade and hate, but they’re also talismans of their religious beliefs.
And there are two obvious meanings to this talisman. First is the statement, just below the surface, that if you can’t get pregnant by your weak Democrat – who naturally isn’t really actually a man since he’s not MAGA – then don’t worry, JD Vance is our God-Emperor’s apprentice. Therefore, he is a real man, and will be able to get you properly pregnant like you want to be, just like any Real Man could.
The second is uglier.
The second is a promise. A promise being made to women who don’t want children. And that promise is, we will make you pregnant like you should be, bitch.
I was going to write about JD Vance’s style of misogyny vs. Trump’s style of misogyny soon, but I guess I’ll talk about it here and now, because this is a manifestation of it.
Trump’s style of misogyny is the sort that doesn’t outright hate women, it just doesn’t think of women as adults. Women aren’t responsible, women in general can’t be trusted to make the right decisions in general, but occasionally, you get one that proves themselves, similarly to a bright child or trustworthy teenager. You can bring those on and grant them with responsibility, much like you might trust a properly-raised child. They just should never be in actual charge; a man must be the actual boss, because you need an actual adult – always a man – at the top.
Plus there’s the sex, of course. That’s important. And babies, also important. But when all is said and done, select women can be treated as mostly people too. Not quite full people, of course, but – mostly people.
JD Vance’s misogyny is much, much meaner. JD Vance’s misogyny – and the misogyny of his entire cult – deeply hates women. Deeply, as in, deeply resents our necessity for sex and childbirth deeply, as in, wishes we didn’t have to be here.
Given that, then if women must be around, it must be only for the purposes of reproduction and childcare, and okay, sex. Also, they should serve their superiors – men – since that’s useful and right too.
JD Vance has pretty much come out and said this, with his commentary about only families with children being real families and the only purpose of post-menopausal women being to raise kids.
And if you’re in a society that permits women not to have and raise children, then maybe you’re not in a righteous society at all. So they intend to fix that, by making damn well sure you have those kids and you raise those kids and that’s it, because that is, after all, your only valid purpose.
And so, this carrying around the talisman of Vance, this symbolic manhood of Vance, this statement that “it’s for Democrats” and a “full family kit?” It’s absolutely a promise. It is a symbolic promise to make unmarried and/or childless woman into literal Handmaiden’s Tale handmaidens.
They will make you fulfil your only valid purpose.
Most of them are probably not fully conscious this is what they’re promising. A lot of them are just in the cult, and the cult is doing this, so naturally, they are as well.
But some of them know.
Take a look at this guy and go ahead. Look at that incel sneer. Tell me he doesn’t know what he’s promising.

For details, please the CHANGELOG file in the repository.
What is Friendica
Friendica is a decentralised communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumbler and BlueSky.
Ensure that the last backup of your Friendica installation was done recently.
Using Git
Updating from the git repositories should only involve a pull from the Friendica core repository and addons repository, regardless of the branch (stable or develop) you are using. Remember to update the dependencies with composer as well. So, assuming that you are on the stable branch, the commands to update your installation to the 2024.03 release would be cd friendicagit pullbin/composer.phar install --no-devcd addongit pull If you want to use a different branch than the stable one, you need to fetch and checkout the branch before your perform the git pull.
Pulling in the dependencies with composer will show some deprecation warning, we will be working on that in the upcoming release.
As many files got deleted or moved around, please upload the unpacked files to a new directory on your server (say friendica_new) and copy over your existing configuration (config/local.config.php and config/addon.config.php) and .htaccess files. Afterwards rename your current Friendica directory (e.g. friendica) to friendica_old and friendica_new to friendica.
The files of the dependencies are included in the archive (make sure you are using the friendica-full-2024.03 archive), so you don’t have to worry about them.
Post Update Tasks
The database update should be applied automatically, but sometimes it gets stuck. If you encounter this, please initiate the DB update manually from the command line by running the script bin/console dbstructure update from the base of your Friendica installation. If the output contains any error message, please let us know using the channels mentioned below.
Please note, that some of the changes to the database structure will take some time to be applied, depending on the size of your Friendica database.
Known Issues
At the time of writing this, none
How to Contribute
If you want to contribute to the project, you don’t need to have coding experience. There are a number of tasks listed in the issue tracker with the label “Junior Jobs” we think are good for new contributors. But you are by no means limited to these – if you find a solution to a problem (even a new one) please make a pull request at github or let us know in the development forum.

Con un post su Telegram gli sviluppatori di Organic Maps fanno sapere che la loro applicazione è stata rimossa dal Play Store. Il motivo? "Non rispetta i requisiti per il Family Program".
Come sempre questo è uno dei motivi per cui è bene installare le applicazioni, quando possibile, da F-Droid o ancora meglio direttamente dalla fonte (che sia GitHub, il sito ufficiale, Codeberg etc). Per aiutare in questa operazione viene in nostro aiuto l'ottimo Obtainium.
Organic Maps, per chi non la conoscesse, è un'ottima alternativa a Google Maps ed è un fork di maps.me creato e gestito dagli autori originali di maps.me. Utilizza le mappe di OpenStreetMap e ha moltissime funzioni e caratteristiche utili, funziona molto bene soprattutto come navigatore a piedi (ma funziona anche per auto) e in generale è buona da usare in alternativa a OsmAnd. È priva di pubblicità, di traccianti e di altre cose inutili.

Questo il testo apparso nel canale Telegram
Ieri sera Organic Maps è stata rimossa dal Play Store senza alcun avviso o dettaglio aggiuntivo perché "non soddisfa i requisiti del programma per famiglie". Rispetto a Google Maps e ad altre app di mappe classificate per un'età superiore ai 3 anni, in Organic Maps non ci sono annunci o acquisti in-app. Abbiamo chiesto un appello.
Come soluzione temporanea per il problema di Google Play, è possibile installare il nuovo aggiornamento di Google Play in arrivo da questo link: cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/Organi…
Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store without any warnings or additional details due to "not meeting the requirements for the Family Program".

Here’s the problem, though: the biggest player in the space, Mastodon, does a poor job of supporting Article. Instead, every post Mastodon uses is instead a Note. From a semantic point of view, it might not seem like there’s a lot of difference between the two: both are effectively texts posts that can contain some formatting markup, both can hold an arbitrary amount of characters, and both can effectively be used to represent a full article.
Ironischerweise zeigt Mastodon eine föderierte Note vollständig an, auch wenn der Text weit über die eigentlich erlaubten 500 Zeichen hinaus geht, bei einem Article wird statt dessen aber nur die kurze summary benutzt.
Seine Idee: Ein Content-Fallback Mechanismus!
Das heißt jede Aktivität, egal von welchem Typ, liefert zusätzlich zu dem spezifischen Objekt, eine standardisierte Note (content-fallback): { "@context":[ "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", { "Hashtag":"as:Hashtag" } ], "id":"https://wedistribute.org/2024/04/iftas-dsa-guide/", "type":"Article", "content-fallback": { "content":"IFTAS, the dedicated Trust & Safety organization ...", "mediaType":"text/plain", "summary":"", "tag":[{ "href":"https://wedistribute.org/tags/fediverse", "name":"#fediverse", "type":"Hashtag" }], "type":"Note", "updated":"2024-04-11T20:55:29Z" }}Code-Sprache: JSON / JSON mit Kommentaren (json) Ich verstehe das Problem und finde die Idee generell nicht schlecht, aber eigentlich bietet ActivityPub alles Nötige schon von Haus aus! ActivityPub oder besser ActivityStreams ist so aufgebaut, dass alle Objekte von einem Art Base-Object abgeleitet werden. Das heißt Article, Note, Event oder Place, haben ein gleiches Minimal-Set an Attributen:
Und auch wenn beispielsweise Place oder Event einige spezifische Eigenschaften haben, die nicht jede Plattform „kennt“ und „versteht“, sollte es immer möglich sein, die Beschreibung (content oder summary) und den Titel (name) anzuzeigen.
Das Prinzip ist ähnlich wie, wenn nicht sogar inspiriert durch, schema.org/Thing. Auch hier basieren alle Objekte letztendlich auf einem Thing und trotz der wesentlich größeren Anzahl1 an Objekten und Attributen, können Suchmaschinen sich immer sicher sein, dass es zumindest einen name, eine description und eine url zum Anzeigen gibt.
Bevor wir über also über ein `content-fallback` nachdenken, sollten wir (meiner Meinung nach) erst einmal dafür sorgen, dass die vorhanden Möglichkeiten richtig genutzt werden.
The vocabulary currently consists of 806 Types, 1474 Properties 14 Datatypes, 90 Enumerations and 480 Enumeration members. – schema.org/docs/schemas.html↩︎
About 1/4th of the downvotes on this post are from zero-content accounts. Likely some US democratic-party astroturfing going on like they did on reddit.
Thank you for pointing out the astroturfing. Would it be possible to implement a filter which diminishes or ignores the vote count of astroturfing accounts?
I'm new here and I wonder if you have any advice/testimonials to share regarding Fediverse interoperability.
I'm working on a post about it for my blog series The Future is Federated. I’d like to do a show & tell, demonstrating what interoperability looks like between #Lemmy and #Friendica, #Mastodon + a federated blog to start with.
❗️Stiamo migrando peertube.uno su un nuovo server, al momento è in fase di test e ricomincerà a funzionare senza prolemi solo a lavori completati.
❓Peertube Uno è la prima istanza video italiana del fediverso, ha 5 anni e circa 600GB di video caricati, ma il server che ci ospitava non riusciva più a fornire un servizio completo da almeno un anno.
🚀Stiamo spostando Peertube su un server più performante che finalmente risolverà tutti i problemi e i limiti che avevamo finora.
PeerTube Uno Italia, è la prima piattaforma video italiana federata con il fediverso. Utilizza il protocollo ActivityPubper distribuire i video fra le persone nel fedivero in maniera decentralizzata.

Quando Proton ha aggiornato i piani introducendo Proton Family (che è per 6 persone con 3TB di spazio totale) in tantissimi hanno richiesto un piano dedicato alle coppie.
Da oggi è stato introdotto Proton Duo, un piano da poter usare in 2 con 1TB di spazio (in totale) e con incluso pieno accesso a tutti i servizi Proton compreso quindi Proton VPN, Proton Drive, Proton Pass etc.
Il prezzo è di 14.99€ al mese per un'iscrizione di minimo un anno ed è un'offerta a tempo limitato anche se non mi sembra venga detto quanto costerà Proton Duo dopo questo lancio iniziale.
Dal loro blog:
Potreste pensare che proteggere la vostra privacy online sia una responsabilità personale, ma c'è una buona probabilità che i vostri cari siano ancora legati alle aziende di Big Tech. Queste aziende sfruttano i dati più sensibili e preziosi dei vostri amici e familiari per mostrare loro pubblicità basate sul tracciamento o per esporli a strumenti di intelligenza

Queste aziende sfruttano i dati più sensibili e preziosi dei vostri amici e familiari per mostrare loro pubblicità basate sul tracciamento o per esporli a strumenti di intelligenza artificiale senza scrupoli.
Se un partner o un familiare utilizza ancora Google per inviare e-mail, archiviare documenti o scaricare foto, è probabile che stia esponendo inavvertitamente le informazioni sensibili e preziose che avete preso precauzioni per proteggere.
Ecco perché stiamo introducendo Proton Duo, un nuovo piano progettato per semplificare la privacy online di due persone con 1 TB di spazio di archiviazione. Entrambi potrete usufruire del vostro indirizzo e-mail crittografato, del calendario, dell'archiviazione sicura di file, foto e password e di una VPN per navigare in sicurezza. Con Proton Duo, avrete la tranquillità di sapere che la vostra vita digitale è veramente privata.
Solo per un periodo di tempo limitato, offriamo Proton Duo a 14,99 dollari al mese con un piano di un anno: Si tratta di un risparmio annuale di 60 dollari. Si tratta di uno sconto per sempre, quindi se vi iscrivete alla promozione, manterrete questo prezzo per sempre.
Due settimane fa o boh ho pensato che servirebbe un fork di Telegram Web che sistema alcuni problemi… il piccolo problema è appunto che non esiste (almeno, niente di mantenuto). Boh, ieri pomeriggio mi è risalito così un astio verso Durov, perché Telegram WebK continuava a resettarmi le impostazioni grafiche, e allora ho preso il codice e ho iniziato a manomettere… ecco a voi Spaccogram, insomma!!! ❤️🔥
Ho preso comunque il source di #WebK, perché WebA nonostante abbia più feature ha un problema decisamente grave, cioè che la sincronizzazione dei messaggi non solo è più lenta, ma a volte su mobile decide di non funzionare più… aspetti anche 5 minuti, e non ha finito di sincronizzare, ahi. Ho anche l’impressione che il JavaScript compilato sia più pesante in WebA, ma almeno per quanto mi ricordo il codice

Ho anche l’impressione che il JavaScript compilato sia più pesante in WebA, ma almeno per quanto mi ricordo il codice è più pulito… mentre in WebK è un marasma di parti morte commentate via, e singoli file che arrivano a centinaia di KB; non siamo ai livelli di #Telegram per Android, ma va comunque malissimo. Almeno, sotto una cosa fanno schifo entrambi: conservano il codice compilato nel branch di sviluppo di Git (e a leggere questo già tutti gli altri sviluppatori avranno storto lo sguardo). 🤭
Possibile che con tutti i soldi che si fottono col premium e le pubblicità, quelli di Telegram non possono pagare degli sviluppatori competenti per mantenere un #client #Web fatto bene? Perché al momento i due ufficiali sono tenuti malissimo, uno peggio dell’altro, da due scappati di casa che non hanno manco alcuna colpa, perché lo fanno nel loro tempo libero (e per questo non voglio smerdare loro, ma se il codice fa oggettivamente schifo va detto). E quindi, insomma, anche per questo, dopo aver cambiato alcuni default della app nel source, la mia attenzione è passata subito al forzare il client di credere che Telegram #Premium sia attivo. 😈 Avrei desiderato che magicamente sarebbero state sbloccate tutte le funzioni a pagamento, ma ovviamente sapevo già che il server fa i suoi controlli… PERÒOO… la traduzione dei messaggi in particolare funziona (bene così, perché un tempo era gratis, a dire il vero, come testimonia questa pagina di documentazione mal-tenuta), e persino quella live di tutti i messaggi (che non è mai stata gratis)! Nel fare questo ho anche rimosso la restrizione di navigazione nelle chat bandite per violazione di copyright, perché ho scoperto che il server leakka i messaggi bloccati usando la traduzione, quindi… funny, sono leggibili! 🥳 Ci sono poi alcune cose in più, come… copia e download da gruppi e canali impostati come protetti (che no, non è una violazione della privacy, dato che sia da Web che da Desktop si può comunque fare screenshot di tutto)… e una modalità #stealth sperimentale, che permette di scorrere le chat senza mandare lo stato di lettura, persino se si scrivono messaggi. Userei con attenzione quest’ultima cosa eh, il ban è dietro l’angolo, anche se in teoria questo #fork è anti-ban (usa API id+secret ufficiali, che giustamente stavano belli dentro i sorgenti, quindi Telegram non può sapere che state usando un client umma umma), Telegram può comunque vedere se scrivete di continuo messaggi senza leggere i precedenti, e comunque non nasconde (ancora) lo stato online… quindi spegnetela quando dovete scrivere. 😳
Il client come vedete è già utilizzabile da tweb.octt.eu.org, ma ancora non ho aggiornato il 100% di stringhe e icone, ma sarà fatto… il nome della PWA installata è cambiato, quindi almeno non si confonde del tutto con quella ufficiale. Per non attirare troppo l’attenzione, per ora non ho una repo pubblica per il codice modificato (anche perché penso nessuno mi aiuterà a tenerlo al passo con gli aggiornamenti dell’upstream, dovrò fare tutto io…), ma secondo GPLv3 (che io rispetto, a differenza di certi altri modder…) potete scaricare una tarball, e le mie modifiche sono segnate con commenti // octt: nel codice: …/webk.tar.xz. E… guardatevi anche il canale che ho creato per il fork, lì scriverò consigli e parlerò dei prossimi aggiornamenti, idk: t.me/+ujaob63Vy705Mzgx.
PS, fatto buffo: ieri sera, a un certo punto, nessuno più riusciva a scrivere nei miei gruppi… qualcuno ha avanzato teorie del complotto sul fatto che mi stessero per ri-bannare, perché stavo facendo cose cattive col client… per fortuna è stato solo un problema server temporaneo; ce ne sono apparentemente tanti in questi giorni. 😰 Share this page from your fediverse server https:// Share

"Signal is being blocked in Venezuela and Russia. The app is a popular choice for encrypted messaging and people trying to avoid government censorship, and the blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries..."
All countries should ban US-domiciled companies like signal, or any communication platform hosted in Five-eyes countries, and especially ones domiciled in the US, which has to adhere to National Security Letters.

Isn't the whole point of something like End-to-End Encryption so that not even the company themselves can read your messages?
In that case it wouldn't matter even if they did turn the info over.
Edit: I read more into the page you linked. Looks like those NSLs can't even be used to request the contents either way:
Can the FBI obtain content—like e-mails or the content of phone calls—with an NSL?
Not legally. While each type of NSL allows the FBI to obtain a different type of information, that information is limited to records—such as “subscriber information and toll billing records information” from telephone companies.
You can read my article, or Drew Devaults on why he doesn't trust signal, which get more into this, but the short version is that US security forces don't have time to read the content of everyone's message anyway, they care more about the metadata: message timestamps and social graphs.
Signal stores all that data (via required phone numbers, meaning its linked to your real name and address), and via the US's key disclosure laws, it would be illegal for them to tell you that the US government is hoovering up that data.
Well IMO all countries should have the motivation to prevent US spying on their country's populations. You generally don't know about honey pots before they get exposed.
As I commented below, US security forces aren't that interested in message content anyway, since they don't have time to parse through every message to construct meaning. Signal does require your phone number tho, as well as message timestamps, meaning they can build social graphs of real people.
I wrote this, but I'd also like to add Drew Devault - Why I don't trust signal. There's a huge disconnect between what privacy advocates are saying about signal, and what reddit "privacy" communities think about it. If you read the article I linked, you'll see its because the Open Technology Fund (a US state-run entity), actively pushes signal in privacy spaces.
Seriously tho, that's been most of the defense of signal advocates, with zero backup other than signal's own claims. Signal is not self-hostable, and all the data lives on a centralized, US-domiciled server, subject to NSL requests (the US issues ~ 60 of them per day).
Unfortunately you can't verify what their server stores, nor the metadata that they are legally required to share with the US government (which includes phone numbers, and your name and address).
BTW if signal is secure, can you give us your phone number, so we can use it with you?
They must've added that recently then, but still doesn't get around the fact that they're required, which means signal (and likely the US government) knows exactly who you talk to and when.
Signal might be one of the most audited pieces of software in existence. Any criticism is likely either coming from or is supported by countries that fear encryption such as China, Russia and Iran.
The big downsides of Signal are that it requires a phone number and that is depends on Signals servers. That is it. You messages are completely safe as all messagers use the same underlying cryptography.
The audits mean nothing for a server domiciled in a Five-Eyes country. Signal has your phone number, and the other phone numbers you talk to (social connection graphs), and it is 100% illegal for them to tell you that they've been issued a national security letter divulging that information.
blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries.
Or... you know... at least for Venezuela, the USA constantly fucking around with their elections and politics and local assets using Signal or something. Maybe, I dunno?
Yeah. Telegram, should be next, there's a huge risk with it too. And email! Social networks too, just in case. And postal mail, we can't forget that. We should crack down any form of uncensored communication.
Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. Namely video streaming, ride-hailing, and cloud computing.
I am having some trouble in picking one of the habit trackers available on F-Droid/Izzy-on-droid. Which one would you recommend or maybe you know another good free/libre one (from other repos or sources in general)?

The main reason was that the habits app I liked above stopped development, and I read that atomic habits book by james clear, and realized that I could make an app that utilizes some of those ideas about forming habits.

Reading the changes in the latest version, a doubt came to my mind.
How will be handled later, if #44 is implemented, i.e. dictionaries, the relationship between each keyboard scheme with its respective dictionary?
That is, the following come to mind: - Would it be automatically associated by the name of the scheme? - defined by the user in the configuration? ( en <-> es-thumbkey, en <-> pt-splitkey, an so on). - or will it be defined live when typing with a key or gesture to switch keyboard and another to switch dictionaries?

Twitter hat sich verändert und das leider nicht zum Guten! Hier ein paar Schlagzeilen: Elon Musk Is Turning Twitter Into a Haven for Nazis Elon Musk says he’s letting Donald Trump back on Twitter Twitter's sacking of content moderators raises concerns Elo
Twitter hat sich verändert und das leider nicht zum Guten!
Ich habe, um ehrlich zu sein, keine Ahnung, warum ich immer noch bei Twitter bin, und ich glaube, bei Facebook hat damals wesentlich weniger gereicht, um meinen Account zu löschen…
Klar, Twitter war über 17 Jahre lang das soziale Netzwerk meiner Wahl und hatte über lange Zeit hinweg wenig bis keine Konkurrenz! Ich habe viele spannende und inspirierende Menschen kennengelernt. Twitter hat mir geholfen, mich mit der deutschen Web2.0-Community zu vernetzen. Barcamps und Webmontage wurden über Twitter organisiert und diskutiert. Außerdem verdanke ich Twitter wohl auch meinen aktuellen Traum-Job bei Automattic!
Aber das alleine hat mich die letzten zwei Jahre nicht auf Twitter gehalten. Die Menschen, die mir wichtig sind (inklusive mir), sind weitergezogen und haben das Fediverse für sich entdeckt. Ein besseres Job-Angebot als das von Automattic ist aktuell eher unwahrscheinlich (😍) und wenn es hochkommt, schaue ich maximal alle zwei Wochen bei Twitter vorbei, und seit Monaten nutze ich schon keine Twitter-Apps mehr auf meinem Handy oder Computer.
Das was mich hält, kann also nur Nostalgie und die Romantisierung der „guten alten Zeit“ auf Twitter sein!?!
Nur fair, wenn ich jetzt auch umsetze, was ich da so von mir gebe!
Ich glaube, vielen geht es ähnlich wie mir: Sie sind unzufrieden mit Twitter, haben ihren Account aber aus Sentimentalität noch nicht gelöscht. Doch so wird sich langfristig nichts ändern. Der einzige wirkungsvolle Protest ist das konsequente Löschen all dieser inaktiven Profile. Das Netzwerk verdient durch uns und mit uns Geld, und nur wenn die Nutzerzahlen sinken, wird genügend Druck erzeugt! Aber selbst wenn nicht… das ist dann nicht mehr mein Problem ☺️
TL;DR Alternativ: USM web+subscribe web+follow Longreads Es gibt eine ganze Reihe an weiteren Möglichkeiten, mir zu folgen, bzw meine Blog-Posts zu abonnieren.
Aber ich glaube das ist langfristig ein Problem! Weil trotz der Frustration vieler Nutzer, ändert sich nichts an den Nutzerzahlen und wird somit nicht wirklich deutlich!
…aber läuft es am Schluss nicht aufs gleiche raus? Wenn man den Account nicht konsequent löscht, schaut man dann nicht einfach immer mal wieder vorbei?
Doesn't CrowdStrike have more important things to do right now than try to take down a parody site?

Just a quick note to recognize that the first lines of PieFed code were published on the 28th July 2023, just over a year ago. Since then there have been 1400+ changes made by 9 people, involving adding 88,000 lines of code and removing 28,000 lines. The issue queue has 98 open and 99 closed issues.
While join.piefed.social went live in October 2023, it wasn't until time off work over the christmas holidays enabled a big push to get it ready that piefed.social went live on 4th January 2024.
Since then piefed.social has federated 190k posts, 2.3M comments and 19M votes with 1900 other instances of various types. Besides piefed.social there are 5 other PieFed instances that I know of.
What a year it's been! I've grown significantly as a developer, had a lot of fun and hopefully contributed something meaningful to whatever the fediverse is becoming. Long may it continue!

Oggi Google ha annunciato le Chromecast raggiungono il loro cimitero.
Dopo 11 anni e oltre 100 milioni di dispositivi venduti, stiamo terminando la produzione di Chromecast, che ora sarà disponibile solo fino a esaurimento scorte. È giunto il momento di evolvere la categoria dei dispositivi di streaming per smart TV, pronti per il nuovo settore dell'intelligenza artificiale, dell'intrattenimento e delle case intelligenti. Per questo motivo, non sono previste modifiche alla nostra politica di supporto per i dispositivi Chromecast esistenti, con aggiornamenti continui del software e della sicurezza per i dispositivi più recenti.
Quando abbiamo lanciato Chromecast, la maggior parte dei televisori aveva poche (o nessuna) app, lo streaming era inaffidabile e complicato e la connessione del televisore al telefono, al tablet o al laptop era difficile e complicata. Chromecast è stata la nostra risposta a questo problema, un modo semplice e conveniente per trasmettere i contenuti online preferiti direttamente sullo schermo del televisore. Era facile come collegare il dispositivo e premere play. La forma piccola del dongle di Chromecast lo rendeva facile da nascondere dietro il televisore, mentre il prezzo accessibile lo rendeva accessibile a milioni di persone e il regalo perfetto per molti.
Da allora, la tecnologia si è evoluta notevolmente. Lo streaming e le smart TV abbondano. Abbiamo investito molto per integrare la tecnologia Google Cast in milioni di dispositivi TV, tra cui Android TV. Android TV ha raggiunto 220 milioni di dispositivi in tutto il mondo e stiamo continuando a portare Google Cast su altri dispositivi TV, come i televisori LG. Migliaia di app supportano il casting, rendendo più facile che mai guardare i contenuti dal telefono e dal tablet sul grande schermo. Stiamo quindi compiendo il passo successivo nell'evoluzione del modo in cui i dispositivi di streaming TV possono aggiungere ancora più funzionalità alla vostra smart TV, basandosi sulla stessa tecnologia Chromecast.
Oggi presentiamo Google TV Streamer, un dispositivo di qualità superiore costruito per la nuova era dell'intrattenimento e delle esigenze della casa intelligente. Con Google TV Streamer, non solo potrete soddisfare le vostre esigenze di intrattenimento, ma avrete anche un hub per la vostra casa intelligente.
Tuttavia, Google TV Streamer non esisterebbe senza Chromecast che ha aperto la strada. Per onorare la fine di questa era, ecco un viaggio nella memoria di alcuni dei momenti più importanti di Chromecast.

Nel corso del tempo il gesto è rimasto lo stesso, ma sono aumentate le energie emotive e mentali necessarie ad avanzare nel feed.

I contenuti social sono davvero diventati più pesanti e difficili da maneggiare: persino le piattaforme un tempo considerate “frivole” traboccano ormai di aggiornamenti e testimonianze strazianti da crisi locali e globali. Anche la pressione interna è cresciuta: i confronti online sono diventati più aspri, i giudizi incrociati più taglienti; per ottenere maggiore visibilità, conviene trattare da nemico chiunque non abbia la nostra stessa posizione in un dibattito, ma anche chi mostri incertezza sulla posizione da adottare o chi verso quell’incertezza esprima comprensione. Il periodo storico fa la sua parte – ci offre scenari preoccupanti tra catastrofi naturali, orrori artificiali e tensioni sociali – ma la fatica e l’angoscia che proviamo mentre ci facciamo strada nel pozzo dipendono dalle abitudini collettive di consumo mediatico.
La sensazione di assistere, tramite i feed social, a un’apocalisse permanente, che non possiamo materialmente impedire e dalla quale non possiamo moralmente distogliere lo sguardo, è abbastanza diffusa da aver fatto emergere nel 2020 un neologismo per descriverla: doomscrolling. Idea suggestiva, lo “scrolling apocalittico”, e tuttavia autoassolutoria, perché si concentra solo sul nostro ruolo passivo, spettatoriale, mentre è attivo il nostro contributo al sovraccarico di contenuti deprimenti. Vale senz’altro per chi ne pubblica o ne condivide, ma vale anche per chi interagisce con essi o si sofferma a osservarli per più di qualche secondo: basta questo per segnalare all’algoritmo che persone con interessi compatibili coi nostri potrebbero volerli vedere e che noi stessi desideriamo vederne ancora.

"Israel has the right to defend itself against a terrorist organization, which is exactly what Hezbollah is," Harris stated. Her comments came in response to an Israeli airstrike that targeted a Hezbollah commander allegedly responsible for a recent rocket attack in the Golan Heights. The attack in the contested region resulted in the deaths of 12 children, prompting international attention and condemnation.
The airstrike in Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, reportedly killed at least three people, including two children, according to medical and security sources. A senior Lebanese security source confirmed the attack to Reuters, noting that the fate of the targeted commander, Fuad Shukr, remains unclear. Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsin, is a senior adviser to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and is believed to be a key figure in the group's precision missile project. He is also wanted by the United States for his involvement in the 1983 bombing of a US Marines barracks in Beirut.

Currently they're hidden from users, and only viewable by server admins. There are some open issues for discussion about whether to open them up on the github I think.
The best solution I'd like to add eventually, is for servers to have the option to reject federated downvotes, because they're clearly being used in a manipulative way by servers with more open / free registrations.
The highest temperature on this map is 37 degrees (south of Spain). Other places barely reach 30. This is definitely not a heat wave. Where I live the summer has been extremely cold so far.

Maria Giudice e l’impareggiabile Catania del primo Novecento
Un nutrito gruppo di donne siciliane fortemente impegnate nell’ambito universitario, sindacale, giornalistico, associazionistico, nel maggio dello scorso anno ha organizzato al Dipartimento di Scienze politiche e Sociali dell’Università di Catania, un convegno di studi su “Maria Giudice: il suo tempo e la sua storia”.
Over on the fediverse (or at least the German speaking part of it) there’s a bit of a challenge going on: post 20 books that shaped you, but only their covers without any comments. Now of course I won’t be able to skip the comments, so here they are. (Think of them as the DVD extra to the post.)
Men At Arms by Terry Pratchett stands in for the whole series of Discworld books. There was a time in my life where these books were a lifeline and I’m quite sure I’d be a worse person if I hadn’t read them.

Reddit sta aumentando il suo giro di vite sui web crawler. Nelle ultime settimane, Reddit ha iniziato a bloccare i motori di ricerca dalla visualizzazione di post e commenti recenti, a meno che il motore di ricerca non paghi, secondo quanto riportato da 404 Media.
Al momento, Google è l'unico motore di ricerca mainstream che mostra risultati recenti quando si cercano post su Reddit usando il trucco “site:reddit.com”, riporta 404 Media. Questo esclude Bing, DuckDuckGo e altre alternative, probabilmente perché Google ha concluso un accordo da 60 milioni di dollari che le consente di addestrare i suoi modelli di intelligenza artificiale sui contenuti di Reddit.
“Questo non è assolutamente legato alla nostra recente partnership con Google”, ha dichiarato il portavoce di Reddit Tim Rathschmidt in una dichiarazione a The Verge. “Abbiamo discusso con diversi motori di ricerca. Non siamo stati in grado di raggiungere accordi con tutti loro, poiché alcuni non sono in grado o non sono disposti a fare promesse esecutive per quanto riguarda l'uso dei contenuti di Reddit, compreso l'uso per l'IA”.
Il mese scorso, per far rispettare la sua politica contro lo scraping, Reddit ha aggiornato il file robots.txt del sito, che indica ai web crawler se possono accedere a un sito. “È un segnale per coloro che non hanno un accordo con noi che non dovrebbero accedere ai dati di Reddit”, ha dichiarato Ben Lee, responsabile legale di Reddit, al collega Alex Heath di Command Line.
In una dichiarazione rilasciata a The Verge, la portavoce di Microsoft Caitlin Roulston ha affermato: “Microsoft rispetta lo standard robots.txt e onoriamo le indicazioni fornite dai siti web che non vogliono che i contenuti delle loro pagine siano utilizzati con i nostri modelli di intelligenza artificiale generativa”, aggiungendo che Bing ha smesso di effettuare il crawling di Reddit quando la piattaforma ha aggiornato il suo file robots.txt il 1° luglio.
Reddit has started blocking search engines from scraping user content unless they pay up. Google is now the only mainstream search engine that yields recent Reddit results.

I use f-droid to update the app. Didn't see the recent updates and saw the failed build after a search. monitor.f-droid.org/builds/log… This message seems significant(not sure tho):

In the meantime, I also put all my apps on izzyondroid, which are updated to the latest versions.
Yes, but it's the app creators themselves who created those apks. Basically it swaps out trust for 3rd party packagers in for the open source app devs themselves.

I’ll check the issues box and see if there’s something like a shortcode I can knock together.

Hi !Friendica Support, I'm not finding much documentation about following and connecting. Is this how it works: If the only relationship between A and B is that A follows B, then: - A is a fan and follower of B. - A and B are not considered connected. - There is a unilateral friendship between A and B.
If B also follows A, then: - A and B are considered connected. - There is a mutual/bilateral friendship between A and B.
When you receive a friendship notification from another Friendica member, you will have the option of allowing them as a "Follower" or as a "Friend". If they are a follower, they can see what you have to say, including private communications that you send to them, but not vice versa. As a friend, you can both communicate with each other.
How do you cause a “friendship notification” to be sent? What form does it take when it arrives? I've been experimenting with 2 accounts, but have not seen a friendship notification.
@Dirk Maas As far as I've ever seen its just A follows you. Following and friendship are the same thing. Though you can both follow and ignore someone too.
Hi Dirk. It depends on the account type and network. For example my Fendica account is setup to accept all friends requests as "followers". So I get no notification when someone adds me as a friend. But if you follow a Mastodon account, and yo are on Friendica, perhaps they get a notification.
In Friendica you can tweak these things a lot. Let me know if you have more questions.
1. How do I set up my Friendica account to accept all friend requests as "followers"? And what are the other options?
2. I told my sister to take these steps in order to follow me: a. Go to Contacts b. Type my info in the “Add new contact” field and click Connect c. On the page that comes up, click Submit request She followed the instructions, and without any input from me, we are now mutual friends. Why didn't Friendica ask for my approval?
@Dirk Maas @Tio Go to settings>account>advanced account type. Unless you have standard, you wont need to approve everyone if they want to follow you. love-all will make them all friends, soapbox will make them all followers.
Thank you @anubis2814! I just checked and my account type is standard. But with my sister it acted like it was love-all. I'm not sure how to explain that, but I'll keep an eye on things going forward.
I see. So you didn't get a notification when she added you as a friend/follow but when I did you received. Interesting. Maybe was it that you already had her in your list of friends? Just checking...
No, she was not on any list – I knew she had an account, but that's all. I had tried to find her account, but could not.
Two unexpected things happened: (1) She became a follower of mine without any notification to me or input from me, and (2) I became a follower of her – again without any action taken on my part.
Yes @anubis2814 is right. You can change it form there.
It depends what kind of account you have. Maybe you have it setup to accept all friends requests by default. Please check that. And by the way to add someone as a contact is even easier: use the top search bar and paste someone's profile (url or name). Enter. Now you can submit a friend request. I just clicked to follow you did you get any notification?

Let’s face it, anything too analytic I have to say about anything but the assassination attempt will get swamped. So here are a few thoughts on that, starting with what we appear to know Sunday morning:
Yep, sure was a registered Republican. That’s solidly confirmed.
White, male, apparently cis (certainly gender-confirming), thank fuck for that
There’s an image of an Instagram profile going around THAT COULD BE BULLSHIT, WE DON’T KNOW RIGHT NOW. If it is real, it paints a motive of a very Christian person who was very aware of Epstein’s crimes and could well have been set off by the Trump-Epstein connections, of which there are a lot. This one makes a lot of sense to me, but WE DON’T KNOW IF THAT SCREENSHOT IS REAL YET. But we will in a day or two. Maybe even later today. But at time of writing, we don’t.

Various agents – directly Trumpian, Russian, Iranian probably, Mainland Chinese probably – are absolutely flooding the zone with shit, as Bannon likes to say, and as they always are to maximise confusion and anger. Remember that.
A few thoughts, all of which are blunt:
PANICKY BASTARDS, please remember that this does NOT give Trump the election, like some of you are going off about. Nazi dickholes killing Martin Luther King, Jr. and RFK didn’t cost Nixon the ’68 election, now did it? Yeah, sucks to be on the “like Nixon” side of this comparison but it’s still worth remembering.
RETURN-TO-NORMALCY NITWITS: There were a lot of assassination attempts on Hitler, too, a few of which came really close to success and were very obvious. This neither made him a better person nor calmed down either him OR his party. Trump’s still the same monstrously evil fuck he was yesterday and no plans have actually been changed.
CONSPIRACY CRANKS: For fuck’s sake, this was not a kayfabe. Look, I understand the impulse, I do. I really do. But the man is a coward. He just is. There’s no way in hell he’d risk live fire in the direction of himself, or even near it. It is not a “shock” that an amateur, under- or self-trained sniper missed, it’s frankly more of a surprise that he got as close as he did. Speaking as someone who has been a member of a gun club and was considered a pretty good shot, it’s not as easy to hit those as television and movies make you think.
Over the next day or two, more of this will become better confirmed and more clarified. Until then, keep your shit together as we all try to figure out what and how. And most of all, remember:
None of this makes Trump a better person or more fit for the office.
Particularly not your Trump friends and family, who we all must still try to rope back into reality, or if we can’t manage that, at least … reel in a bit. Dampen their enthusiasm. Get them not to send that money, or encourage their friends to do the same.
Game’s still on. Take a day if you need to, but then get back out there.
This is as firm a proof that he’s knowingly lying as could ever be had. It’s direct proof that he was lying, from his own mouth, in his own words, on audio and video. Use it.
WordPress Playground is this fascinating tool that allows you to run WordPress without a server. It achieves this by running PHP in your browser by using WASM. It sounds cool, and it makes for numerous interesting demos, as its original creator Adam Zieli
Having built Translate Live for WordPress.org–a way to translate plugins and themes without having to use a table UI–I have a bit of experience with having WordPress Playground do more complex things. But I also know that it be a bit difficult to get started with that.
Blueprints to start a Playground
So, as you can see with Translate Live, a WordPress Playground can be booted into configurations, and these configurations are (currently) called Blueprints. They are JSONs made of options and a list of steps. You can choose from a number of available steps like installPlugin to share a link with someone to try something in WordPress without having to set up hosting for that.
The available steps are somewhat basic but powerful. It can be abstract to think of what to do with them.
So, I had the idea that while the available steps of WordPress Playground are quite universal, we could build a library of “more meaningful” steps that do and “transpile” them to existing steps.
Build a Playground Blueprint with a Drag and Drop UI
Welcome to the WordPress Playground Step Library: Combining these steps with a click (or drag and drop) UI, it allows you do quickly create a WordPress Playground that does things you didn’t know you could easily do. Here is a screenshot: So, for example, it could be useful when you share a WordPress Playground link to add some explanatory text, and what better to use than the infamous1Admin Notice? But, how do you do it?
Turns out, you’d need a small mu-plugin. But with a custom step, it’s just a matter of adding that step: So such a “custom blueprint” for playground would be this: { "landingPage": "/", "steps": [ { "step": "showAdminNotice", "vars": { "text": "Welcome to WordPress Playground!" } } ]} But careful. The above doesn’t run in Playground. There is no showAdminNotice step. But the Step Library automaticaly transpiles to a valid blueprint: { "landingPage": "/wp-admin/", "login": true, "steps": [ { "step": "mkdir", "path": "wordpress/wp-content/mu-plugins" }, { "step": "writeFile", "path": "wordpress/wp-content/mu-plugins/0-mu.php", "data": "<?php add_action( 'admin_notices', function() { echo '<div class=\"notice notice-success is-dismissible\"><p>Welcome to WordPress Playground!</p></div>'; } ); ?>" } ]} So which one is easier to remember? You can try this blueprint in WordPress Playground now! It will look like this: I’ve made the Step Library so when you configure it, its URL reflects to your custom steps (this is the above in the Step Library) so that you can easily share them. If you wanted to share the actual running playground, share the URL of the “Launch in Playground” link.
I’m curious if this tool can help you build a WordPress Playground, please tell me by commenting via Mastodon or ActivityPub, and spread the word about the tool!
This is traditionally misused by plugins to prompt you to upgrade so that your wp-admin screen can get bloated with this. To the point where there is an Admin Notices Manager plugin that allows you to keep them under control. ↩︎

I've been trying for a while now to integrate torrents properly into lemmy, just need more time for testing and demonstration. Torrents really are the only way forward for video content, youtube will just keep getting worse and worse.
That's an interesting concept. Thought how will it work for mobile users? Uploading there is often costly, both in the limited data plan and battery life.
Like most torrents currently... most seeders have lots of HD space and network bandwidth, and are happy to share to the occasional leech as long as the torrents stay alive.
Also there are some mobile clients like libretorrent that can be set to turn on only when plugged in.
Ok, but.. hmm. Do you have statistics on the share between desktop and mobile users? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think most browse lemmy from a phone. Most torrents work fine because most torrenters do that on a PC, but relatively very few on a phone. I'm honestly interested if you have some info on that.
In any case, I hope it works out because I would love if it would. Thanks for your work!

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

After updating to 0.19.5 from 0.19.3 my postgres is often using up 500%+ of CPU according to docker stats and often going to 100% CPU on most cores according to htop. Also noticed in the uptime monitor:
htop shows one of the 5 postgres processes constantly on UPDATE. I think this might be part of the problem.
I'm not comfortable with postgres and am honestly completely in the dark how or where to mitigate or even pinpoint this issue.
Hier & Jetzt – Open Web 1: Wo das Open Web heute steht
Vor ein paar Wochen kam Marcel Weiß auf mich zu und fragte, ob ich nicht Lust hätte, mit ihm über das Thema „Open Web“ zu podcasten. Die letzte Ausgabe des OpenWeb-Podcasts ist jetzt fast 7 Jahre alt und natürlich freue ich mich wie bolle, wieder mit jemandem über mein Nischen-Thema zu sprechen 😉
Im Ernst, ich freue mich sehr, dass Marcel Interesse an dem Thema hat (und das schon seit einer ganzen Weile) und nach einem kurzen Vorgespräch haben wir auch gemerkt, dass uns der Stoff so bald nicht ausgehen wird!

Die erste Ausgabe ist eine Bestandsaufnahme der letzten 15 Jahre „Open Web“ und ein kleiner Ausblick auf zukünftige Themen.
In der ersten Ausgabe der neuen Podcastreihe zum Themenkomplex ‚Open Web‘ sprechen Matthias Pfefferle und Marcel Weiß über die Evolution von OpenID, die uns einen Hinweis auf allgemeine Herausforderungen für Protokolle in der heutigen Zeit gibt; Stichwort Extrawürste der großen Teilnehmer, welche zu Balkanisierung führen. Weitere Themen sind die DSGVO und Dataportability, Mastodon, Identi.ca und wie ActivityPub aktuell OStatus als zugrundeliegendes Protokoll für dezentrale Netzwerke ablöst. Wir ordnen die Irrungen von Diaspora ein und reden last not least über die Tragödie der Microformats.
Viel Spaß beim Hören!

I'm surprised 0.18.4 has more instances than 0.18.5, considering 0.18.5 was the simplest update ever with just a small hotfix for federating moderation actions (which is a really important bugfix) and it didn't have any changes to the database or configuration or dependencies
Having a look, the only instance with more than 250 monthly active users on 18.4 is Beehaw. They decided to not update after their disagreement with the Lemmy devs.
A quick look at the join-lemmy.org/docs/administra… does not answer that question. Though at least ChatGPT has an opinion (which may be misleading) 😀
the probability of it (the post) being distributed on multiple instances depends on factors such as the popularity of the post, the number of upvotes and comments it receives, and how widely it is shared across different instances. Posts that generate a lot of engagement and discussion are more likely to be distributed on multiple instances, as they are more likely to be shared and reposted by users. Additionally, posts that are deemed relevant or controversial may also be more likely to be spread across multiple instances.
I am unsure what it means by shared (i assume just posting a link is not enough).
If that is true that reposted (often called cross-posted) post makes a fully "featured" copy/backup on a different Lemmy instance, is there anything else that does it? Thank you

As soon as Apple announced its plans to inject generative AI into the iPhone, it was as good as official: The technology is now all but unavoidable. Large language models will soon lurk on most of the world’s smartphones, generating images and text in messaging and email apps. AI has already colonized web search, appearing in Google and Bing. OpenAI, the $80 billion start-up that has partnered with Apple and Microsoft, feels ubiquitous; the auto-generated products of its ChatGPTs and DALL-Es are everywhere. And for a growing number of consumers, that’s a problem.
Rarely has a technology risen—or been forced—into prominence amid such controversy and consumer anxiety.

And many AI products have failed to impress. The launch of Google’s “AI Overview” was a disaster; the search giant’s new bot cheerfully told users to add glue to pizza and that potentially poisonous mushrooms were safe to eat. Meanwhile, OpenAI has been mired in scandal, incensing former employees with a controversial nondisclosure agreement and allegedly ripping off one of the world’s most famous actors for a voice-assistant product. Thus far, much of the resistance to the spread of AI has come from watchdog groups, concerned citizens, and creators worried about their livelihood. Now a consumer backlash to the technology has begun to unfold as well—so much so that a market has sprung up to capitalize on it.
Obligatory "fuck 99.9999% of all AI use-cases, the people who make them, and the techbros that push them."

Nonviolence was a luxury Ghandi could afford during the revolution because Indians outnumbered British soldiers by something like 20k to 1. There was no world where the recently weakened UK (after WW2) could hold India once it decided to become independent.
