Conspiracy brain. Plenty of reasons to dislike/disagree with Obama without putting the tin foil on.

In my very biased opinion, skip the steam deck and just go for a PC. Lots of options from small indie to AAA. And lots of options for purchasing or pirating, including DRM-free game stores.

I think for most people, they become an asshole on the way to becoming a billionaire. You don't make that kind of money without exploitation and plundering. The only exception I could think of would be if they inherited the money. And even so, if you inherit that kind of money and don't give out a good chunk of it, you're still scum imo.

Too harsh? Can you name one that isn't?

I mean... The proud boys aren't far off of from being Trump's private army. And he did give them the marching orders to head into the capital building. Sure they don't have tanks but I think the comparison still holds. In fact, I would argue they were closer to success than Wagner was.

I definitely feel the resentment. Myself and much of our generation blames the gen xers and baby boomers for destroying the planet. But, climate change has been an inevitability since the industrial revolution. It's simply an inevitability of capitalism. That being said, it's not like the resentment isn't completely without warrant. Baby boomers at least got to prosper while the planet was plundered (at least here in America). They got cheap college, affordable housing, liveable wages, etc. us millennials grew up during 9/11 and the subsequent wars for oil in the middle east, we entered the job market just in time for the housing market crash, we're now in what's supposed to be our prime money making years and well... We all know how that's going.

And the zoomers, you all were born into a techno-hellscape. You were subjected to toxic social media from an early age (yeah you can definitely blame millennials for that one). And then fucking COVID, and now once again, entering the job market at a horrible time.

I guess the point of my rambling is, millennials, zoomers, we were both born into late stage capitalism, it's dystopian, and you're right to be angry about it. But maybe hopefully not all of that anger is pointed at us millennials, because I promise you, many of us are also angry with the same sad state of affairs.

Hang in there comrade.

I mean, so many alt-right tropes don't hold water the moment they're held up against any sort of critical thought. I think ultimately, the far right isn't interested in making a logical appeal. But rather, they're interested in making emotional arguments disguised as logical arguments.

If I had to guess, they're using frequency hopping across your frequencies. Afaik, many emergency and LE services use a combination of encrypted and unencrypted radio comms, so you're probably only hearing the unencrypted comms as they hop into your frequency.

I doubt it's related to the backdoor references in the article. But it's been a while since I played around with RF and even when I did, I wasn't really an expert despite it being in the job description.

I haven't tried using it myself, but this tool looks like it might be able to do what you need: https://github.com/john-corcoran/internetarchive-downloader

Wtf that's awesome! Have they open sourced that?

EDIT: I found it https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

The thing is, when an app does only 1 thing, it's easy to make sure it does that thing well. It's going to be a lot of work to support so many different API's, keep them updated, and provide a good UI/UX.

Right side should read tankies, not communists.

Yeah holy fuck, that's dystopian.

+1 for MAM

I bet other users who aren't admins/mods can't see the post at all when it's removed.

Yup, I'm pretty sure that's how this works. I opened the post in an incognito window, but still on my instance, and got an error message instead of the post.

Ahh, I'm actually guessing it's because you purged it. I think purges are local, but deleting it is considered a moderation action and is therefore propagated out. I just checked the modlog and clicked on a random post that was removed on a different instance. When I went to the post, I could still see it, but there was a notification at the top that said "Removed by Moderator".

Glad we got to the bottom of this! And yeah, just to confirm, I see no changes on my side.

However, I'm surprised to still see my posts there. I would have thought you deleting them on your instance would propagate out to my instance.

Still not seeing it.

My guess is that actually the report doesn't get federated back out. I think reports are only federated to the instance that hosts the content and the instance the reporter belongs to. So in this case, lemmy.ninja is both the instance that hosts the content and the instance to which you belong to.

In the opposite direction, when I reported the first post, it went to my instance since I am the reporter. And to your instance, since your instance hosts the content.

Assuming I am correct, this could end up being a bit of a problem. That means, users on my instance could go about spamming the fediverse, and I would never see reports of their activity unless they are spamming communities on my instance. The only way I have to know that they're being bad users is if I notice we get defederated, if an admin of another instance specifically reaches out to me, if another user on my instance reports them, or if I manually monitor my users.

At a minimum, I would like to be able to click on a user's name, and be able to report them to their home instance.

But ideally, I would like to get copies of reports made on my users, regardless of where the content resides or who reported it, so I could swiftly take action on them if they're being bad users.

Not seeing a report on the second test post yet.

Ok, I have marked my report as resolved on my instance and took no action (so I have left the post up on my instance).

I have just made a 2nd post. I have not reported it.
