How much the recent developments with android are gonna affect the Foss world?

So google now requires Id verification for submitting apps to android, what does it mean for Foss apps, for Foss stores like fdroid and for future development?

#privacy

in reply to dontblink

A month ago I just bought a xiaomi tablet for my main work machine. Full android, with no google play / google play services, and it runs f-droid and all the apps fine. Haven't missed any app on the google play store, or that require play services.

If google keeps on alienating people, people will move over to HarmonyOS, or a lot of the larger chinese companies making android devices will maintain their own AOSP fork, and google will be as irrelevant worldwide as apple is.

[Suggestion] Custom filtering of feed by keywords

I'd like to tweak my feed by hiding all posts containing certain key words, e.g. 'democracy, leftists, murder, liberals, fbi, market' etc.

Basic use case: Don't like what you see?
Select keyword -> click RMB -> "Fitler for a week". Now you won't see any posts with this keyword on any Lemmy instance.

Is it possible somehow? Maybe a client with this functionality exists? Does it sound useful to anyone but me?

This is awesome. I believe difference from client-side filtering is that filters will work everywhere you login with your account. Do you happen to know estimated 1.0 release date?

in reply to podbrushkin • 3 mesi fa • •

Yep that's correct. Unfortunately a lot of apps start adding app-specific features (which is fine of course), but then don't make issues upstream about the lemmy back-end supporting it everywhere. Kind of a conflict of interest where devs want you to use their apps with the most killer features, but don't care about the rest of the eco-system or helping other apps at all.

No release date on 1.0 yet. The back-end is 99% ready, but we're rapidly updating [lemmy-ui] to get it ready also. Then jerboa is next, then a longer period of testing and bug-fixing.

[Suggestion/Question]Add costum sort types to lemmy?

It would be interesting to sort posts in different ways then the current Active, Hot, New, ... Criteria. I searched the backend-codebase and found this enum:

crates/db_shema_file/src/enums.rs
```enums.rs
...
/// The post sort types. See here for descriptions: join-lemmy.org/docs/en/users/0…
pub enum PostSortType {
#
[default] Active,
Hot,
New,
Old,
Top,
MostComments,
NewComments,
Controversial,
Scaled,
}

<br />and the database uses this for example in `crates/db_views/post/src/impls.rs`
```impls.rs
NewComments => pq.then_order_by(key::newest_comment_time_at),

<br />and the database uses this for example in `crates/db_views/post/src/impls.rs`
```impls.rs
NewComments => pq.then_order_by(key::newest_comment_time_at),

I have multiple questions regarding this:
* lets say I add another variant to this enum, and add some functionality to it in the backend, would the frontend dropdown-menu in the UI update and show it? (guess this is not the case, since frontend and backend live in different folders.
* here is a sample sorting url for the Scaled sort type "https://lemmy.world/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=Scaled". This will trigger the backend to query the database and receive a sorted list of items to display as hypertext to my understanding.
* since Diesel implements the Database Query I would not need to write any postgresql?
* would other instances support my new sorting method or only my own modified codebase instance? I guess its the latter.

A first simple idea: Add a "random" sort type, that sorts post in random order. Some uuid or hashed timestamp of a post could work for this.

Image upload support?

In lemmy you can just copy-paste an image into the markdown-text area. Which is quite useful I think.

Users have a media section in their profile, listing all their media-uploads.
Will Ibis support similar ways in the future? How would you go about implementing that?

Drawbacks:
* image uploads take more storage, cause higher server loads
* image uploads add another burden on moderators

So far this is not possible. What you can do is embed external images with ![](). In the future it would be possible to add the same image upload functionality that Lemmy has. However I dont have much time to work on Ibis, because it has so few users and few donations compared to Lemmy.

Nothing Will Stop Trump From Weaponizing Charlie Kirk’s Killing to Attack the Left

This is not a moment for dishonesty. Contrary to the hurried efforts of some Democratic leaders to eulogize Charlie Kirk, we don’t need to pretend the far-right activist engaged in earnest politics “across ideology, through spirited debate” as California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a post on X paying tribute to Kirk.

Kirk, the founder of the far-right movement Turning Points USA, was committed to organizing America’s white young men, from college campus to college campus and beyond, into a politics of revanchist, resentment-fueled, patriarchal white nationalism.

At the time of writing, the person responsible for shooting Kirk has not been apprehended or identified. That didn’t stop Trump from delivering an official address unequivocally blaming the “radical left” for Kirk’s death in the broadest terms possible.

The Trump administration is a weaponization machine; it will transform all manner of things into an ideological arsenal to use against its opposition. Anti-genocide activism is antisemitism; immigrant workers a

Signal needs a phone number. Why are we dismissing this as privacy versus anonymity when governments are blocking the registration SMS?

I really don’t get why so many people are turning this into a privacy versus anonymity debate when the real problem is censorship.

Yes, Signal needs a phone number to sign up, but replacing that with an email or username doesn’t make it anonymous. The real issue is that governments are blocking the registration SMS, so people can’t even sign up for the app in the first place.

Sure, there are workarounds, but most people aren’t going to jump through all those extra hoops just to use an app. If we want to spread privacy, how do we do that when Signal's phone number requirement is actively working against us?

Instead of arguing over privacy versus anonymity, shouldn’t we focus on making sure everyone can access Signal without issues? What do you think?

Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck during an event at Utah Valley University, according to eyewitness accounts and reports from Deseret News.

A suspect has been apprehended, and a shelter-in-place order was issued for the campus, as confirmed by UVU campus police and a UVU alert sent to students.

Witnesses reported seeing blood after the shooting, and Kirk was rushed to a local hospital.

U.S. Senator Mike Lee stated he is closely monitoring the situation and called for prayers for Kirk and the attendees.

🚨 L'UE dichiara guerra ai rifiuti: nuove regole obbligatorie per tessile e alimentare

In una mossa storica verso un'economia realmente circolare, il Parlamento Europeo ha adottato nuove norme per combattere gli enormi volumi di rifiuti generati dai settori tessile e alimentare.

Il problema, in numeri:

• Rifiuti alimentari UE all' anno: 60 milioni di tonnellate (132 kg a testa).

• Rifiuti tessili UE all'anno: 12,6 milioni di tonnellate.

• Solo abbigliamento e calzature: 5,2 milioni di tonnellate (12 kg a testa).

• Tessuti riciclati a livello globale: meno dell'1%.

Cosa prevedono le nuove regole?

🍎 RIFIUTI ALIMENTARI (entro il 2030):

• Riduzione obbligatoria del 10% negli sprechi della trasformazione e produzione.

• Riduzione obbligatoria del 30% pro capite in retail, ristorazione e famiglie.

• Donazione facilitata del cibo invenduto ma ancora commestibile.

• Riduzione obbligatoria del 30% pro capite in retail, ristorazione e famiglie.

• Donazione facilitata del cibo invenduto ma ancora commestibile.

👕 RIFIUTI TESSILI: il principio "chi inquina paga"
Tutti i produttori che vendono tessili nell'UE dovranno farsi carico dei costi per gestire i loro rifiuti (Responsabilità Estesa del Produttore - EPR).

• Chi rientra: tutti i marchi, rivenditori (anche e-commerce!) e importatori, grandi o piccoli, dentro o fuori l'UE.

• Cosa devono fare: pagare per i costi completi di raccolta, selezione, riciclo e preparazione al riuso dei loro prodotti a fine vita.

• Tempistiche: gli stati hanno 30 mesi per creare i sistemi EPR. Le microimprese hanno 1 anno in più per adeguarsi.

• Cosa include: vestiti, scarpe, accessori, cappelli, lenzuola, tende, etc.

• Colpire il fast fashion: gli stati potranno far pagare di più ai marchi i cui prodotti sono meno durevoli o riciclabili, prendendo di mira esplicitamente i modelli business dell'ultra-fast fashion.

Perché è una notizia importante?
Questa legge ribalta completamente il sistema: l'onere dei rifiuti non graverà più su comuni e cittadini, ma direttamente sui produttori. Questo crea un forte incentivo economico a produrre capi più durevoli, riparabili e riciclabili, segnando potenzialmente la fine del business model "produci-vendi-getta".

Naturalmente, ci sono aspetti critici.

TIL Maegul coined the term 'threadiverse' June 5th 2023

Seeing some push back here on the idea of confusing things with more terms than just "fediverse". I get that. The problem is that that cat is very much out of the bag. Surely, for the vast majority of people that have any awareness of the fediverse, they think it's just Mastodon.
Either way, "Mastodon" is a much larger "brand" than "fediverse" or anything else on the fediverse. So trying to get some conceptual branding going makes sense. It make things more clear, as the idea of the fediverse itself is kinda fuzzy and complex and probably best left out at the beginning. It's a little bit like the matrix, you have to see it with your own eyes, IMO.
So, my lame contribution ...
****Threadiverse!**: "Social media, but woven into threads, like Reddit or Forums, not like the chaos of Twitter, but all on the Fediverse so you can find anyone else doing anything else too."

Lemmy Release v0.19.13

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a self-hosted 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.

Changes

This version fixes a handful of bugs. Most importantly it prevents a background task from blocking the Lemmy server entirely. Edit marks on comments are now hidden if it was edited within 5 minutes of creation. Also the browser cache usage is significantly reduced. Additionally ARM builds are fixed by using the default memory allocator on that platform.

Upgrade instructions

There are no breaking changes with this release.

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

Thanks to everyone

We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute.

Support development

We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over five years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation, as well as donations from individual users.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive, and helps us grow our little developer co-op to support more full-time developers.

Probably due to it being a rare use-case. Sounds like you need durations, which are usually expressed as the timeframe between two dates. Perhaps the intervalToDuration function of the date-fns lib could help with this though. There's also formatDuration which may be helpful.

What do you think of imitation and lab-grown meats?

Recently tried an Impossible burger and nuggets and thought that if nobody told me it wasn't meat, I'd have thought the patty was made out of a weird kind of meat, rather than make a connection with the taste and texture of plants. Honestly, I might not complain if that was the only kind of "meat" I could have for the rest of my life.

Well, maybe I'd miss bacon.

I've yet to find the opportunity to try lab-grown meat, but I for sure would like to try it out and don't see much wrong with it as long as it's sustainable, reasonably priced, and doesn't have anything you wouldn't expect in a normal piece of meat.

Also, with imitation and lab-grown options, I'd no longer have to deal with the disgust factor of handling raw meat (esp. the juices) or biting into gristle. I'll happily devour a hot dog, but something about an unexpected bit of cartilage gives me a lingering sense of revulsion.

Completely unnecessary. Vegan chefs are wizards nowadays, and can show you how to make replacements for everything you need.

I make vsteak, and vchicken in large amounts about once per week, and use it in recipes. I can share the recipes I use if you like. I make vbacon about once per month, its a bit more labor intensive, but it tastes great.

Even apart from ethics, its 10x cheaper, and doesn't contain any of the puss, blood, and feces that come in your meats currently.

My spouse and I are foodies and both vegetarian. We've had several chefs put together some absolutely incredible vegan/vegetarian dishes.

One of the chefs told us that being a plant-based chef has recently become much more respected in the culinary world. He thought we were at the start of a plant-based revolution in the culinary world. Younger folks are reducing meat consumption more than any previous generation, and there are beginning to be a lot of dedicated vegetarian/vegan restaurants popping up in most medium to large cities.

Ross Wolfe tackles Domenico Losurdo's work as "a new school of falsification, all in service of justifying the course history has taken. Everything he wrote had to align with the geopolitical interests of [a] few nominally socialist states [...]"

Really vague references to Losurdo being wrong, but never what he's specifically being wrong about.

Lemmy Development Update August 2025

Many of us are currently on summer vacation, but there are a few important additions this last month:

Thanks to monumental efforts by @matc-pub and @sleeplessone1917, lemmy-ui is now updated to work with the new lemmy 1.0 API, and all that's needed is to support the new features, and work out a few more bugs. Special thanks to both of them for their work.
MV-GH added video support to jerboa, and has been doing a lot of bug-fixes there.
@dullbananas has a PR which optimizes some migrations significantly and reduces DB size, which will likely be merged after some code reviews soon.
We added 1.0 milestones for both lemmy-ui and jerboa, to make sure every new feature gets added to the front ends.

Read Theory, Darn it!

Without revolutionary theory, there can be no revolutionary movement.

— V. I. Lenin

In the dying capitalist hellscape we occupy, it can often seem hopeless. However, a better world is possible. We can move on from the destitution, genocide, and privation of today's society and move onto one where we consciously decide to take a scientific approach to production. We can direct society in such a fashion that satisfying the needs of the people is the goal of production, and not satisfying the bottomless avarice of a handful of billionaires. What we need is socialism. What we need is Marxism-Leninism.

Who is this guide aimed at?

Anyone wanting to begin their journey into the world of leftist theory and organizing.

How long will this guide take to follow?

Aimed at about 60 hours of active reading time. This can be stretched out over a year, or condensed into a few months of hard study, depending on your availability.

Thanks a lot for the audiobooks and feedback! I'll go through at some point and try to add the missing audiobooks, this new edition of my list is still a bit in-flux based on feedback, once it's fully solidified I'll add the audiobooks.

One thing that's a bit of a conundrum, is if I should rip out all of the historical texts from this list and make a second, history-focused list, or if I should unify the lists into a longer, fully comprehensive list without caring too much for length (where I would add, among others, Capital, Anti-Dühring, Losurdo's Class Struggle, Stalin, Western Marxism, Walter Rodney's How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, etc), or if I should try to strike a balance and find a "jack of all trades" list, which is where this list sits at. I don't think it's too long, but I also don't think it skimps on anything at the moment.

Once I figure that out, I'll see about adding or splitting. Right now it's around 60 hours, and I'd like to either get it down to 50, or give up and make it fully comprehensive or split into theory and history.

It'd probably be better to have a single list, with both theory and history combined, but separate articles/essays from longer works and books. Just use markdown headers to separate.

Pulizie nel Fediverso.

Oggi ho fatto un po’ di pulizia su Snowfan.
Tra i follower ho trovato di tutto: account sospesi, profili fermi da anni con zero post e zero interazioni, account già migrati altrove… Insomma, un bel cimitero digitale.

Su circa 800 follower, ne sono rimasti 339: più della metà erano “zombie”.

Può darsi che per errore sia finito nel mucchio anche qualcuno di attivo, e se così fosse mi scuso: nessun problema, si rimedia sempre.

Questa esperienza però ci ricorda una cosa importante: fare pulizia ogni tanto è sano, non solo a livello d'account, anche (specialmente) a livello di server. Mantiene leggere le istanze, riduce i costi e aiuta a concentrarsi su ciò che conta davvero: le persone attive, presenti e partecipi.

Certo, fa scena dire “ho 10.000 follower”, ma che senso ha se la maggior parte non esiste più? È solo peso inuti

Buongiorno, non so se sia il posto giusto per questo topic, non ne ho trovati di più pertinenti, in caso spostatemi pure.
Mi chiedevo se esista un modo per seguire profili X e Instagram tramite lettori feed rss o altro. Spulciando su Le alternative ho scaricato Newsblur, non mi permette di seguire i profili che mi interessano, ma vedo che ce ne sono altri suggeriti che invece possono essere seguiti (solo per X).
Magari esiste un generatore specifico da applicare..

Purtroppo le fonti principali di notizie che seguo sono profili di giornalisti Instagram o X, ogni consiglio per smarcarsi da queste piattaforme (gratis) è ben accetto. Grazie in anticipo per la pazienza.

FEDIVERSO NO-STOP

Il Fediverso non si ferma

Il Fediverso ha vissuto un bel boom iniziale e ora sembra attraversare un momento di calma.
Forse complice l’estate, ma intanto stanno nascendo tante nuove piattaforme: ed è un bene!

Non dobbiamo legarci sempre e solo alle stesse, più varietà c’è e meglio è.
A differenza dei social commerciali che ti servono un unico piatto cucinato da loro con ingredienti segreti, qui possiamo scegliere, sperimentare, imparare.

Forza, andiamo avanti, non arrendiamoci: è proprio quello che vorrebbero.

Come fare per ascoltare bene da computer un CD 'protetto'?

Vi ricordate quando nei primi anni 2000 i CD musicali erano fatti in modo che se provavi ad ascoltarli in un computer si sentivano male?
Lo facevano per scoraggiare le copie, fare gli mp3, ecc.

Ma oggi questa cosa si può aggirare?

Ad esempio, di recente ho messo le mani su Meteora dei Linkin Park (sì, sono un romantico collezionista) e con mia sorpresa, quando lo metto nel pc si sente in quel modo. Sia Linux che Windows.

Mi direte che posso semplicemente ascoltarlo nella radio, e infatti è ciò che faccio di solito, ma mi ha comunque stupito.
Oggigiorno esiste un modo per far leggere bene dal pc un CD di questo tipo?

L'UE vuole leggere i tuoi messaggi privati

Il 14 ottobre 2025 potrebbe essere approvata una legge che obbliga WhatsApp, Telegram e tutte le app di messaggistica a scansionare automaticamente ogni tuo messaggio e foto.

Cosa cambia:
• Ogni tua conversazione privata sarà controllata da algoritmi
• Per usare chat ed email dovrai identificarti (addio anonimato)
• Foto di famiglia in vacanza potrebbero essere segnalate come "sospette"
• I tuoi dati finiranno in database internazionali

Il problema:
Questa sorveglianza di massa non protegge davvero i bambini, ma distrugge la privacy di tutti noi. I veri criminali useranno altri sistemi, mentre cittadini innocenti saranno spiati costantemente.

Cosa puoi fare:

Scrivi ai nostri europarlamentari tramite il link in questo post
Chiedi di ritirare la proposta "Chat Control"

La comunicazione privata è un diritto fondamentale. Non dovremmo rinunciarvi per una legge che secondo gli esperti è inefficace e pericolosa.

Can't we do anything as google is killing AOSP and custom ROMS

It feel like we’re losing to Google, day by day. They aren’t killing AOSP directly, but they are making it useless step by step.

Now it’s Google Play Services, Play Integrity checks, installation source checks… more and more apps just refuse to run without GMS. Banking apps? Most of them don’t work. And it’s only getting worse.
I run vanilla AOSP on my main profile, no Play Services. I keep GMS only in my work profile for the apps that absolutely need it. But now even some regular apps that don't need any play services won’t work on my main profile anymore. They simply block your from running , like le chat.

Maps is google's most important app there is no way to run without play services. Sure we can use webview or gmaps wv, but they don't provide turn-by-turn directions.
Earlier maps used to work without play services, but two years ago, an update stopped it from working. Now that old version is out of date and no longer works.

Google is slowly making GMS very important to run.
The problem with GMS is they requ

Of the largest android sellers, only samsung requires gplay. Xiaomi, vivo, oppo, realme, honor, are all chinese companies that require non-bundled google play for their domestic (and maybe other countries?) releases. Google can't alienate these sellers, and if they did, all of these companies would create their own AOSP fork (or just switch to HarmonyOS)

I recently bought a xiaomi android tablet that doesn't have google play services luckily.

Boyboy have a very good video on Pine Gap where they talk about this exact issue at the start: youtube.com/watch?v=XHMa-Ba-2M…

When Gough said they wouldn't join in the fun overseas wars, the CIA bugged cabinet meetings and did all sorts. After Gough threatened to close Pine Gap, the Australian Governor General at the time (a supposedly entirely ceremonial position) worked for the CIA (which we only now know due to leaked documents). The Governor General just straight up sacked the prime minister despite having a parliament majority. Just that easy.

Even if you don't believe the CIA involvement, at the absolute most innocent this was an incident where a very pro-Western unelected ceremonial guy, with completely private communications with US and UK governments, dismissed a democratically elected prime minister and installed a new one. It was a coup, by definition.

I think it's implied that the predator did kill a lot of them, otherwise they wouldn't have the demon legend.

But predators also have a stricter moral code than humanity's big game / trophy / regular hunters, who mostly kill defenseless creatures. They won't kill anything unarmed, or who can't harm. And in predator 2 they refuse to kill a captured prey (danny glover) that successfully defended himself and killed one of their own, and even give him one of their trophies out of respect.

Overall tho hunting is an activity mostly done by bored bourgeois parasites... the villian of the short story the most dangerous game is a russian tsarist aristocrat who hunts people for fun.

molotow-ribbentrop was to buy time to prepare for war. They built a huge industrial complex east of the Ural to prepare since they correctly predicted that their facilities in the west would soon be overrun. They also tried to find allies but were shut down at every turn. When it was clear that there were no allies to be found and every other nation had made a non-aggression pact with the nazis only then did they resort to making their own.

Venghino siori: Microsoft aumenta il montepremi di Zero Day Quest a 5 milioni di dollari

Microsoft offrirà premi fino a 5 milioni di dollari in premi per il concorso di hacking Zero Day Quest di quest'anno, che l'azienda descrive come "il più grande evento di hacking della storia".

Anche la Zero Day Quest dello scorso anno ha generato una partecipazione significativa da parte della comunità della sicurezza , in seguito all'offerta di Microsoft di 4 milioni di dollari in premi per vulnerabilità nei prodotti e nelle piattaforme cloud e di intelligenza artificiale. Dopo la conclusione della gara di hacking di novembre, Microsoft ha annunciato di aver pagato 1,6 milioni di dollari , avendo ricevuto oltre 600 segnalazioni di vulnerabilità.

Per la competizione di quest'anno, Redmond ha aumentato il montepremi a 5 milioni di dollari, concentrandosi sulla risoluzione dei problemi di sicurezza nel cloud computing e nell'intelligenza artificiale.

Dei ladri-hacker piazzano un Raspberry Pi 4G sulla rete bancaria durante un furto fallito allo sportello bancomat. MrRobot vive :-)

Il gruppo di hacker UNC2891, noto anche come LightBasin, ha utilizzato un Raspberry Pi dotato di tecnologia 4G nascosto nella rete di una banca per aggirare le difese di sicurezza in un attacco appena scoperto.

Il computer monoscheda era fisicamente collegato allo switch di rete del bancomat, creando un canale invisibile nella rete interna della banca, consentendo agli aggressori di muoversi lateralmente e dispiegare backdoor.

Secondo Group-IB , che ha scoperto l'intrusione mentre indagava su attività sospette sulla rete, l'obiettivo dell'attacco era falsificare l'autorizzazione degli sportelli bancomat ed eseguire prelievi fraudolenti di denaro contante.

As I write this, I'm sitting on an airplane flying over the Canadian prairies on my way home from Vancouver, BC.

What an amazing group of individuals, who took the time out of their extraordinarily busy lives to see, hear, and learn about the fediverse! The connections made and ideas discussed were so important, and you could feel the energy in the air.

You'd think after a solid six hours a day in a lecture hall would be enough, but at every opportunity in between, there were lively discussions about ActivityPub and the fediverse. It turns out when you get all of us in a group together we can talk and continue to talk about the open social web for ages.

I now have a to-do list about a kilometer long, they all need to get done ASAP!

Thank you to reiver@mastodon.social for organizing this conference, all of those who helped out and participated, and all those who attended.

Un mese di sperimentazione con Citiverse.it. Come visualizzare le categorie di Citiverse con il tuo account Feddit? Il riassunto per gli utenti Lemmy

Un mese fa @skariko@feddit.it e io abbiamo ininziato a sperimentare su NodeBB con l'ambizione di creare un'alternativa federata ai gruppi Facebook, soprattutto quelli locali.
Per chi lo visita direttamente dal sito, Citiverse è un Forum; ma per chi lo usa dal Fediverso, Citiverse è un'istanza qualsiasi, con le "categorie" del Forum che diventano "gruppi Activitypub", come le comunità Lemmy.
Per gli utenti Lemmy poi la questione è ancora più facile: le categorie NodeBB sono indistinguibili dalle comunità Lemmy!
Al momento abbiamo creato una settantina di comunità, suddivise per macrocategorie.
Volete visualizzarle dal vostro account Lemmy? Eccole qua:

File FLAC: li usate? che programma usate per farli?

Discussione "accessoria" al discorso musicale propriamente detto.

Da qualche tempo, più per pacioccare che altro, ho provato un paio di programmi per generare dei FLAC dai miei fidati CD.
Specifico che preferisco sempre e comunque ascoltare i CD quando posso, a casa; in auto ho gli MP3 sul telefono.

Voi usate i FLAC?

I due programmi sono:
- Exact Audio Copy (exactaudiocopy.de/)
- foobar2000 (foobar2000.org/)

(sono su Windows)

Ho provato a fare il FLAC di una medesima traccia CD, ma sono venuti file di dimensioni diverse, dovute ai kbps, nonostante mi sembri di aver dato le stesse impostazioni ad entrambi.
Tra l'altro, se lo usate occhio che la versione attuale di EAC non ha l'ultima versione del codificatore (xiph.org/flac/download.html), ho provato a metterla io manualmente nella cartella e funziona normalmente.

Exact Audio Copy

Exact Audio Copy is a so called audio grabber for CDs using standard CD and DVD-ROM drives. The main differences

Lemmy Development Update July 2025

Work on the backend changes for 1.0 is mostly finished now. What's missing is optimizing the migrations as they currently take about 9 hours for lemmy.ml. Now we are starting to work on updating lemmy-ui for the API changes and new features.

In the last days we did a big cleanup of the lemmy-ui issue tracker, closing 450 mostly outdated issues. Many of these were over a year old describing problems that have long been fixed. From 570 issues only 120 remain. Most of these are very minor, changing a single UI element here or there. It should be possible to implement 90% of them within a month or two.

Here are some of the major changes made over the past month:

Add ability to block all users of an instance (#5784)
Notifications rewrite, users can be notified about new posts or comments (

Some actual Churchill quotes. This is who repeatedly gets voted the "Greatest Briton" by the British people.

"It is, thank heaven, difficult if not impossible for the modern European to fully appreciate the force which fanaticism exercises among an ignorant, warlike and Oriental population. Several generations have elapsed since the nations of the West have drawn the sword in religious controversy, and the evil memories of the gloomy past have soon faded in the strong, clear light of Rationalism and human sympathy. Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men's passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination."

Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men's passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination."
"I think we shall have to take the Chinese in hand and regulate them. I believe that as civilized nations become more powerful they will get more ruthless, and the time will come when the world will impatiently bear the existence of great barbaric nations who may at any time arm themselves and menace civilized nations. I believe in the ultimate partition of China — I mean ultimate. I hope we shall not have to do it in our day. The Aryan stock is bound to triumph."
"I propose that 100,000 degenerate Britons should be forcibly sterilized and others put in labour camps to halt the decline of the British race."
"I think a curse should rest on me — because I love this war. I know it's smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment — and yet — I can't help it — I enjoy every second of it."
"One might as well legalise sodomy as recognise the Bolsheviks."
"I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favour of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare. It is sheer affectation to lacerate a man with the poisonous fragment of a bursting shell and to boggle at making his eyes water by means of lachrymatory gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes."
"There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution, by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews, it is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others."
"One may dislike Hitler's system and yet admire his patriotic achievement. If our country were defeated, I hope we should find a champion as indomitable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations."
"I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."
"I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion."

in reply to JamonBear • 4 mesi fa • •

I use submodules for worktrees. You usually just have to run git submodule update --remote within any new worktree dir.

in reply to Dessalines

Eager Eagle

in reply to Dessalines • 4 mesi fa • •

yeah, I think these are the main hurdles for me:

Untracked files are not copied

When you create a new worktree, it is created from whatever is comitted, so gitignored or uncomitted files are not copied.
So if you have .env files, you have to copy them over manually. And for dependencies, like for example node_modules, you would have to run npm install again in the new worktree.

Mainly .env files, as they are handcrafted. And:

Editor / IDE complexity.

A few projects I work on are multi-root (using VS Code terminology) and that's already complex enough. Adding worktree directories means adding a level to that, which I'm not bought in. And I don't want a separate workspace for each branch I work on, that just shifts the complexity from git to the IDE / editor.

in reply to Eager Eagle

ugo

in reply to Eager Eagle • 4 mesi fa • •

So I can’t help with the IDE issue, but my answer to files that need to be available ln every worktree would be symlinks. So your .env in your repo would really be a symlink to the real .env that lives somewhere else in your system. Sure, you need to create a new symlink when creating a new worktree, but otherwise editing the symlinked file updates every worktree.

And of course, for those worktrees that do need their own versions of some files (e.g. maybe you keep an old release branch of the project in a worktree) you’d use a real file and not a symlink

Then we have the "it works on my machine" issue. I'm vehemently against symlinks pointing out of the code repository because of that.

If they're untracked files anyway, that's unavoidable.

As somebody who rarely has a "pristine" working copy I love worktrees. I usually have a "project-master" worktree that's a pristine checkout of the master branch so I can test builds and things without interference from uncommitted and temporary files.

in reply to atzanteol

Dessalines

in reply to atzanteol • 4 mesi fa • •

Same. The main thing I've been liking about it for the slower compiling languages that I mainly work in (rust, android jetpack compose), is that it leaves the build or target directories in place. So instead of git checkout && clean_build_dir, and having to wait to recompile, I can just cd to that dir.

Il declino degli hashtag su Mastodon e l’ascesa dei gruppi tematici Lemmy nel Fediverso

🔍 La fine degli hashtag su Mastodon e l'evoluzione verso i gruppi lemmy

Con l’ultima versione si #Mastodon, su browser, cliccando su un hashtag da browser non si accede più alla pagina dedicata: il sistema ora propone solo un filtro che limita ai post dell’utente che lo ha utilizzato oppure come seconda scelta alla pagina completa con tutti gli interventi del #fediverso.

Perché?

Troppe persone abusano e spammano hashtag per ottenere visibilità ovunque: una vera enshittification di mastodon che sfruttavano il sistema senza algoritmi.
L’impossibilità di filtrare per lingua rende molti hashtag un caos ingestibile ma si è scelto di poterli filtrare solo per utente

🔍 La fine degli hashtag su Mastodon e l'evoluzione verso i gruppi lemmy

Perché?

Troppe persone abusano e spammano hashtag per ottenere visibilità ovunque: una vera enshittification di mastodon che sfruttavano il sistema senza algoritmi.
L’impossibilità di filtrare per lingua rende molti hashtag un caos ingestibile ma si è scelto di poterli filtrare solo per utente
Gli hashtag su Mastodon stanno diventando sempre meno utilizzabili: sono pesantemente monopolizzati da pochi gruppi, soprattutto in lingua inglese, privi di localizzazione. Questo limita fortemente la loro funzionalità in contesti linguistici diversi.
Nelle piccole istanze, le pagine hashtag sono spesso quasi vuote o inesistenti. Questo succede perché tali server non federano su larga scala e hanno poca esposizione: se pochi utenti usano e seguono un tag, non emergono risultati rilevanti. Di conseguenza, molti hashtag finiscono nel vuoto, perdendo ogni utilità.

In sintesi: i tag diventano contenitori vuoti, incapaci di aggregare contenuti coerenti, soprattutto su istanze minori, creando un’esperienza disfunzionale.

📉 Problemi principali identificati

Monopolio dei pochi: pochi server anglofoni saturano gli hashtag, lasciando poco spazio a voci locali o linguisticamente diverse.
Mastodon offre solo una ricerca full-text parziale: i risultati mostrati si limitano alle istanze con la ricerca attivata e solo per gli utenti che hanno attivato l'inclusione nella ricerca che di default è disattivata.
Scarsa federazione: le piccole comunità rimangono isolate e incapaci di far emergere contenuti attraverso hashtag.
Scarsa discoverability: Se gli hashtag diventano inutilizzabili o marginali, il fediverso rimane senza la possibilità di avere temi da seguire.

💡 Analisi dei rischi e conseguenze

Perdita di visibilità tematica
Senza una pagina hashtag funzionante, post interessanti rischiano di rimanere sepolti dal rumore i fondo.
Depotenziamento delle istanze minori
Senza hashtag usabili, le piccole community faticano a costruire audience e rilevanza.
Deriva dell'hashtag individuale
Con il filtro hashtag per utente, ogni post diventa un’occasione per l'autopromozione individuale, e l’hashtag smette di essere un aggregatore utile.

🛠️ Soluzione: gruppi tematici sul fediverso o hashtag d'istanza

Il futuro non sono gli hashtag generici, ma i gruppi tematici e gli hashtag d'istanza:

#Lemmy dimostra che le community organizzate in gruppi (tematici) permettono:
- contenuti pertinenti
- moderazione attiva
- crescita organizzata e senza spam
- ogni post raggiunge davvero chi è interessato
- la moderazione mantiene la qualità alta
- si evita la saturazione e l’enshittification degli hashtag
È inoltre fondamentale promuovere hashtag locali o linguisticamente specifici per rafforzare la coesione interna all’istanza, come suggerisce l’articolo di Chris Messina su Medium. Questo può restituire utilità al hashtag anche in ambienti ristretti.
Su mastodon.uno da anni si usano hashtag personalizzati per istanza, semplicemente aggiungendo una parte del nome dell’istanza all’hashtag.
È così che sono nati tag come #Uno, collegati rispettivamente alle loro community locali.

Grazie a Mastodon, è possibile seguire gli argomenti che ci interessano a livello locale, ad esempio visitando la pagina dell’hashtag #Uno.
In questo modo si possono ricevere solo i messaggi a tema, evitando di essere sommersi da contenuti non rilevanti provenienti da tutto il Fediverso:

#CoseBelle - celebriamo la bellezza
#MastodonUno - discussioni e comunicazioni sull'istanza italiana Mastodon.uno
#M1Tutorial - le guide per usare al meglio Mastodon.uno
#UnoRadio - La “radio” di Mastodon Uno dove ascoltare la musica condivisa.
#UnoAiuto - per cercare aiuto o aiutare qualcuno in difficoltà
#UnoSondaggio - tutti i sondaggi in corso su mastodon.uno
#UnoRegalo - il posto dove gli oggetti che abbiamo in casa possono avere una nuova vita per favorire
#UnoOrto - Foto e consigli per il proprio orto.
#UnoAmbiente - Articoli sulla crisi ambientale
#UnoCalcio - magazine sul calcio dell'istana mastodon uno
#UnoChef - ricette e piatti preparati dagli utenti di Mastodon Uno
#UnoCinema - recensioni, anteprimi, opinioni e analisi dei Film
#UnoLibri - Consigli e recensioni di libri e scrittori
#UnoLinux - Notizie utili dal mondo GNU/Linux
#UnoSalute - Avvertenze e consigli per la propria salute

#UnoTech - notizie tecnologiche dagli utenti di mastodon.uno

✅ Perché usare tag locali

Beneficio	Descrizione
🌐 Maggiore rilevanza	I post appaiono in tag più rilevanti anche su piccole istanze
🗣️ Visibilità mirata	Si raggiungono comunità linguistiche o tematiche reali
📌 Coesione interna	Si costruisce un flusso di contenuti tematizzato
🤝 Collaborazione estesa	Ogni persona dell'istanza conta, si valorizza l’uso dei tag

🚀 Vantaggi di lemmy e Diggita

Beneficio	Descrizione
🎯 Targeting reale	Ogni messaggio arriva a utenti realmente interessati
🔐 Controllo e qualità	I Moderatori possono prevenire spam e abusi
🌐 Federazione attiva	I gruppi su Diggita/Lemmy raggiungono istanze diverse in modo diretto
📈 Crescita sostenibile	Le community crescono per interesse e non per rumorosità

✅ Cosa puoi fare ora

Abbandona l’uso compulsivo di hashtag su Mastodon 🛑
Usa ancora hashtag per il tagging, ma non contare sulla scoperta tramite browser.
Entra nei gruppi tematici su Diggita/Lemmy

Trovi i gruppi locali italiani su Diggita: quelli che ti interessa seguire: mastodon.uno/@diggita/11367942…
Aggiungi i tuoi post su mastodon nei gruppi Diggita: basta taggare il gruppo, ad es: @linux@diggita.com.

Fai attivismo guidato, non rumore
Condividere in comunità tematizzate crea conversazioni più strutturate, migliora le discussioni e le connessioni.

🌟 In sintesi

Gli hashtag su Mastodon stanno perdendo efficacia per via della sovrautilizzazione da parte di pochi grandi server e della debole federazione tra istanze minori. Chiunque pubblichi da piccole istanze rischia che i tag cadano nel vuoto.
La soluzione? Promuovere hashtag locali, stimolare la cooperazione rilanciando i contenuti nei gruppi tematici federati, come quelli nati su Diggita/Lemmy.

The problem with the problems with hashtags

16 years after their invention, is it time for a change?

Per chi lo visita direttamente dal sito, Citiverse è un Forum; ma per chi lo usa dal Fediverso, Citiverse è un'istanza qualsiasi, con le "categorie" del Forum che diventano "gruppi Activitypub", come le comunità Lemmy.

Che tu sappia, di cosa è fatto un formaggio vegan?
Se non c'è il latte vaccino, forse useranno un latte vegetale...

Posso chiederti il perché della scelta di non mangiare formaggio tradizionale?
Oppure 'anche' tradizionale, cioè di essere onnivoro...

Ciao...

Devils Panties reposted from comics@lemmy.ml by the repost other communities bot - 07/28/2025

Hey so lemmy.ml folks there is this bot account that copies comics from here to lemmy.world. I initially just blocked the user so that in my feed I could see mine without duplicates but I was looking over what it does and this is an experiment im doing with the title. If it gets copied over as I think it will then I will keep the format.

FOLLOWUP EDIT - So looks like the user had to edit the bot behavior which at least causes them to have to put some individual effort into it so I will keep it up while I look it over.

Its messed up how in the US, the real economy (IE jobs, goods produced, production facilities, wage rates, costs of food, cost of housing, eviction rates, homelessness numbers), is so completely divorced from the "imaginary economy" of the finance sector and the stock market. The WSJ can choose financial metrics and fabricate almost any story they want to, because "success" is never demonstrated not by domestic production, but adjusting the time-span width of plots of the stock market to show booms, or GDP which incorrectly shows value actually produced by global south workers, or labor rates that don't include those who have dropped out, or who are in the gig economy and without stable employment.

The transition from an industrial economy to one based on finance capital and real estate is pretty much complete. Most countries don't import much from the US, because it produces nothing of value. The only thing I hear all the older boomers in my home town talk about, the only game left in town, is real estate speculation, not actual production.

Assuming this comment isn't ironic: there is no such thing as a good landlord. Landlords are parasitic middlemen who live by leeching off the value created by workers. They contribute no value whatsoever.

This is admitted even in mainstream economics, its termed rent-seeking.

Okay, I'll bite. I just bought a 4-bed/3-bath (actually 4 bathrooms, but bathroom math made it "3-bath") because we are a family of four in an expensive tourist spot and wanted a guest bedroom for family and visitors. It just so happened one bed and a 3/4 bathroom is in an attached 1-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen and living room.

So when I retire, and my oldest is out of the house to college, we are thinking we could rent that particular part (at a very reasonable rate to people we know). It is part of the house, so I can't sell it separately. So the choice is be a landlord, or don't offer housing (I suppose I could make it an AirBnB and make even more money, but this area is already fucked for housing for that reason).

So if there is no such thing as a good landlord, what would you recommend in a situation like this? Let someone live there for free? Then they'd be costing me money. Don't rent it out? AirBnB?

If you don't need that space, then you might as well sell it and let another family make use of it instead.

Yours is not a unique situation; a lot of older people downsize when their kids move out, and they have a lot of extra rooms and space they no longer need. Its the right decision anyway, as you're now free to be more mobile, and get rid of all the years of accumulated junk.

And we plan to, when both kids move out. But just one kid, with one five years behind the other? But anyway, isn't moving the guest space to the main house section and renting out the apartment essentially "downsizing" to a three-bedroom anyway? Either way, the house remains a two-unit house. If somebody wants a temporary living situation by themselves or with one partner, what is wrong with them renting an apartment from me?

Look, I get it, the system is set up to screw people over to get big corpos big money. If somebody is living in apartment for a decade, that is a fucked up situation. But where I live there are military single young'uns wanting to get out of barracks for a year or two before their tour is done and they transfer, or regularly traveling nurses or others who come seasonally for work who aren't in a position to buy a house and wouldn't want to.

Not the same at all, as lawyers do work to get paid.

Landlords rent-seek by charging access to important and scarce property that they themselves don't use. They extract value through ownership alone, and add no labor value of their own to the process, that the tenants as owners couldn't do for themselves.

If somebody wants a temporary living situation by themselves or with one partner, what is wrong with them renting an apartment from me?

What gives you the right to these people's paychecks? If you're not using it, then sell it, and don't rent-seek.

There is nothing defensible about being a landlord. Its not exactly the same as owning slaves or owning capital, but all three are based on absentee ownership and extracting value from working people.

The tenants can do upkeep themselves, or pay people to do that. Rent-seeking can still exist even if the rent-seekers promise to do maintenance (which in reality they don't have much interest in doing, especially if it doesn't add value to the property). Tenants often have to live for months with broken ACs, appliances, because their landlords have no desire to upkeep temporary items. The yearly lease is signed, and they're getting their money.

Hey there. Never heard of it, actually. Thanks, I'll find a time to read about it.

What I find interesting in this particular libertarian initiative so far, is that it is addressing an existing systematic issue. Almost all other libertarians I come around seem to be speaking about their and everyone else's morality and righteousness, naively thinking that once we all become moral and righteous, society would become as well.

To be fair, you haven't heard of it because it isn't particularly relevant. Marxism already develops beyond where Georgism stops, so anyone who is disgruntled with capitalism already has a much more influential, developed, and accurate framework to go with.

Exactly. Georgism could be studied as an interesting historical curiosity, but it never took off, and was a historical failure, whereas Marxism especially in the USSR and China abolished land-owning rent-seeking, and the massive economic drain that caused.

I know I'm going to get downvoted for this, but since the USSR was a historical failure and Marxists claim China isn't actually Communist but Capitalist, can't we say the same for Marxism? An interesting historical curiosity, but it was never actually implemented and thus can't be said to have ever taken off.

Both Georgists and Marxists get to complain about how things would be so much better if someone would actually just do it the right way for once. I say this as a left leaning Georgist Libertarian, to my heart in the right place Marxist cousins.

Of course slavery and landlordism aren't identical in every respect, but they both are based on a parasite class doing no work, and extracting labor value from people who do. Large-scale vs small-scale doesn't make landlording any more ethical.

For a lot of them, they don't even care if there's tenant turnover, especially if its a high-demand area. There's no incentive to fix a broken AC; the tenants already signed the year lease. They can get to it next year when its time to clean up the place for the re-listing.
