  • Private torrent tracker. Invite only, to my knowledge.

  • Thanks for sharing! I'm also struggling with the yt popup, I'll check that out.

  • I think that's the first Italian plan I've ever seen in years without unlimited SMS lol. Not that it makes any difference, no one uses it anyway.

  • What provider is that? The yellow makes me think of Fastweb. Weird. I'm using ho. and I've had unlimited SMS for years now.

    Anyway, SMS is a trash and outdated technology and that's the only reason why it's not used. Have you ever reached your monthly cap for SMS any time after 2010?

  • your fascist fucking grandpa is literally Mussolini

    That's not Meloni, I think you might be confusing her with Alessandra Mussolini. Even then, I don't think it's fair to hold people accountable for the actions of their ancestors, even when said ancestors are dictators such as "literally Mussolini".

    and it's one of his old colonies

    If anything what made the country so destabilized, ultimately leading to Gaddafi's rise, was the "liberation" (read as neocolonialism) brought by the British. A similar fate happened to all the other former Italian colonies such as Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea.

    I'm all for the right of self determination of people and decolonization was a traumatic process for many African countries (think of French Algeria for one), but it's probably not a coincidence that all of those territories are now failed or war torn states. A smoother and more democratic process after WW2 might probably have helped the regions, but it's not fair to blame Italy for it's lack.

  • Ahaha thanks but I can't take any merit for the Fediseer, that's @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com's baby. It also has a nice GUI that - despite not being the "best motherfucking website" - is pretty cool to look at.

  • Totally agreed on that, it's actually a feature I'm working on adding to the UI fork I'm going to use for my instance.

    It uses the admin-defined Fediseers preferences of an instance and hides content from users according to them.

  • Interesting idea. I'm currently working on a Lemmy-ui fork for my instance and including a feature of this kind in the frontend would be kinda nice.

    I'll bookmark this and come back if I ever get to it.

  • Flip side: imagine being a new Lemmy user, maybe coming from the algorithmically curated experience of Reddit, and having to learn what instance blocking is, how to do it and who to block. It would be quite overwhelming.

    I'm all for user freedom but some users don't want freedom. They want something that works without having to spend 15 minutes configuring it.

  • I'm sure you'll love this AutoMod bot for Lemmy I have built, then!

    Seriously though, I tried to stay as true to my morals as possible writing this and that includes not judging people for the communities they choose to interact with. So there's no shadow bans nor any "you've been banned from X for having written in Y once" crap. Just removal of no no words (set by mods) and some other extra features.

  • Yeah I don't think it's very common elsewhere. Right over the border with France they were already saying "200 grams de jambon".

    But I think it's convenient. Small number make brain hurt less, brain no need to think.

  • In Italy we use hectograms ("ettogrammi", "etti" for short) in day to day life when buying groceries. You don't ask for 200 grams of ham, you just ask for 2 etti.

  • Are you good, mate? Is it just my instance or this comment got posted four times within the span of 30 seconds?

  • Oof. Yeah maybe. I did play Skyrim on release, on a bloody PS3 no less. Pure pain.

    Hopefully it doesn't take them that long.

  • It might be, although I've read of some freezes happening even on the fastest SSD in the world so... idk, I think they might have fucked up somewhere. I also suspect there might be some memory leaks, although this comes solely from my experience, I have no data to show.

    Tom's Hardware article on the freezes

  • Yes, all very cool, but when are they going to fix the actual issues? Like, I don't know, the constant freezes?

    I'm loving this game so far, I'm playing it every night, but it feels like a constant test of my patience.

  • Oh thanks for that. Looking at the plugin's wordpress page I ended up on a wordpress SVN page and thought I had to browse that. My allergy is already much better, I might have a look after all.

  • You are right. I don't mind the upvotes being public, I do mind the deletion thing (although it's an inherent flaw of federation, hard to get around it) but both are points against it having good privacy.

    I guess what I meant is that the platform makes no attempt at linking your online persona to anything else. It doesn't even collect IP adresses and has very poor logging - btw this is actually a liability with the ongoing CSAM issue.

  • Looking at the Mastodon and Lemmy documentations, yes it should work.

    • Lemmy accepts posts with the: Page, Article, Note, Video and Event activities.
    • Mastodon accepts toots with the Page, Article, Note, Video, Event, Image, Audio and Question activities.

    As you can see there's a large overlap between the two, so I say it's likely that it will work. I could bring this even further by having a look at the plugin's code but unfortunately I'm alergic to both PHP and SVN and wordpress uses both.
