  • I think that has been confirmed as a bug and will be fixed next release.

  • What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • I played Into the Breach to death on release. I even got all the mechs and achievements. Just looked at it again and it got a free Advanced Edition update?! Holy shit, brb playing the game a 3rd time!

    Lemmy.world starting guide

  • Github is the right place s most of the development is discussed in the issues and PRs there. There's also the Matrix space https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org which has various chat rooms regarding Lemmy/Jerboa development.

    Also you're... me? :D At least our taste in usernames is very similar.

  • do the major lemmy instances censor anything?

    Jump

  • The modlog is always per instance. I don't think you can filter by community yet.

  • How to see how many subscribes a sublemmy has?

    Jump

  • The germans over on feddit.de may like it more.

  • But he makes good money

  • What's the difference?

  • Favorite SGDQ 2023 Runs?

    Jump

  • Oh man this is just what I needed to chill before going to bed :)

  • uhhh... what do I call the "subreddits"?

    Jump

  • These men are pawns!

  • Community seems cut of from lemmy.ml

    Jump

  • Might be another bug because https://lemmy.ml/c/vpop@lemmy.ml (notice the instance postfix) also loads just fine. Maybe it's something that has to do with how local instances get handled.

  • Where are people getting their emails?

    Jump

  • This article (in german) shows where it is in the account settings menu.

    Why can't I create more communities?

    Jump

  • No, because the full community name always includes the instance name too. For example, there are already both !gaming@lemmy.ml and !gaming@beehaw.org which are independent from each other.

  • KDE for Activists

    Jump

  • That's great to hear. Maybe I will finally ditch Element for a true native app :)

  • KDE for Activists

    Jump

  • Man these showcases are great. They give you a quick overwiew of the available software and are managing to keep it focussed on particular use cases. Probably the best introduction to Linux software I've seen so far.

  • KDE for Activists

    Jump

  • Cool stuff. I didn't even know about NeoChat.

  • Why does China's government hate video games so much?

    Jump

  • True, although that's not just limited to "China". Basically every country is treated as a homogenous block of people which is not that great for discussions.

  • How the web became unreadable

    Jump

  • The reason sites all have the cookie permission dialog now is because of the GDPR, which has the right idea on data privacy, but the implementation wound up being so terrible that it winds up doing this.

    GDPR is not at fault here though, since it does not require asking for consent if the processed data is necessary for the purpose of the provided service. For example, a web shop usually wouldn't have to ask for permission to store items in the shopping part because that is a necessary part of the online shopping process. In that sense, requiring the consent dialog for all unnecessary purposes is better as you can at least see who's trying to screw you over. Don't kill the messenger here.

    I think it's also important to remember that websites can only get away with these annoyances because it a) is easily automatable and b) has been the default mode of operation for decades. If restaurant waiters today started asking guests if they could sell info on what and when you ate, who you were with, and what you looked like, everyone would be creeped out. Before GDPR, it was pretty much normalized to do the same thing on the internet without even asking for consent.

  • What do you think (this person's) username means, without looking it up?

    Jump

  • You got pretty close by accident because it is a wordplay on the pronounciation of colonel! And like your friend, I initially thought it sounds like “ko low nell” for a very long time until I realized that English pronounciations are just guesswork sometimes :D That's why the word is now stuck in my mind forever (alongside town names like "Gloucester").
