The attack happened in October 2018. The trial didn't even begin until April 2023.

Why was there a 4+ year delay starting such a high profile trial? I can't find the answer to that anywhere.

Do you sanction all theft, or just theft of things you personally disapprove of?

"Florida Man" strikes again! LOL.

But I know an admin can ban or block communities from other instances

I am pretty sure this is incorrect. Admins can not block select specific communities from other instances. Federation is by whole instance or nothing.

Every instance maintains a public instance list which shows which other instances are federated and which are blocked. For exampke, here's the Lemmy.World instance manifest: https://lemmy.world/instances

When instance-a blocks (defederated from) instance-b, it won't show up in any modlog, it will show up on the instsnce list.

If you actually took the time to run the numbers you wouldn't shudder, because it is so miniscule that it could be confused with rounding error.

The usb c port on my 2 year old phone is still virgin...never plugged in a cable, ever. My dash mount charges wirelessly, my overnight charger charges wirelessly. I have a wireless charger on my desk if I need it (but never use it). I cannot imagine needing a 2nd usb port.

I'm still rocking the v60 also. LG started packing a world class DAC into their smartphones back with the LG v35 and kept it going all the way to their pinnacle (the v60). The v35, the v60, and everything in between had audio superiority that still hasn't been beaten by other modern flagships.

I'm going to be inconsolable when my v60 finally needs replacing.

Maybe I am in the minority but I’ll never need an aux jack again

There is still significant lag for bluetooth audio on both ios and android platforms. It's doesn't really impact calling, and it doesn't really impact watching video content (because they figured out how to measure that latency in real time and inject artificial delay into the video stream so that audio and video sync). But what they haven't figured out yet is the answer for bluetooth audio for gaming. When gaming, you can't arbitrarily delay the video feed so that it lines up with audio, so the bluetooth audio experience is complete dogshit for any gaming scenario. If you game, you have to use the physical cable or the constant audio lag will drive you mad.

Also, there used to be (still are) a fair number of accessories designed to work through the aux port. Examples: mobile credit card readers that connect through aux jack (like square/paypal) that are used heavily by small vendors (especially for shows/events); also things like selfie sticks that use a cable plugged into the aux jack connected to a length of wire running inside the selfie stick to a button on the end of it.

The market is starting to come up with wireless versions of these things, but the modern wireless versions now require unique ios and android versions of them when the aux-jack solution used to be platform independent.

Also, the audio quality of an aux jack is an order of magnitude superior to anything that can be piped through bluetooth....still.

I very much appreciate devices still throwing traditional aux jacks onto mobile devices. Ideally, there will be a wireless technical solution that eventually is superior, but that technology is definitely not bluetooth and we're still waiting for it to be invented and hit consumer availability.

The operators of this instance are legit professionals and work diligently at resolving stability issues. The occasional problems with this instance aren't caused by resource or capacity problems, but by external forces (coordinated DDOS attacks) and inherent Lemmy issues. The reason smaller instances aren't targeted more is because terrorism tends to focus on affecting the most number of people possible (big instances are big targets).

I had to quit using jerboa weeks ago (too unstable) and switched to something different. Glad you found it. The public modlog is awesome. It's one of the significant and intentional differences from reddit (which does not expose moderation activity to users). Having the modlog be public forces transparency and accountability, which is refreshing.

If your chosen mobile app doesn't offer the feature, then you can't. Every app that does offer the feature does it differently, so it's impossible for me to give you a single guidance that works on every mobile app.

I assume you do have access to a web browser on mobile though, so open your web browser, navigate to the instance hosting the community and/or your own home instance, and then depending on the layout used by your device the modlog will be a clickable link in the sidebar to the right, or will appear as a link near the bottom of the page after scrolling to the bottom.

Up until 2 weeks ago, I was seeing posts from lemmynsfw occasionally show up on lemmyworld missing the NSFW tag. I actually went out and created a lemmynsfw account so I could figure out what was going on, but I haven't seen a single example of it in over a week.

First, always start by reading the public modlog. Mod logs are public.

Next: how about an example? I'm not seeing what you describe, so I'd really appreciate a reference (link) to whatever it is you are describing.

Weird, that video comes up as "not available". Maybe because it's published by "Comedy Central UK" and I'm not in the UK?

Regardless, here's another link for anyone who can't see the UK youtube link:

Any persecuted minority group who are republicans is just absolutely baffling to me…best I can come up with is that it’s god-level Stockholm syndrome.

The modlog is public, fyi, and it hasn't logged any moderator-removed comments from this post's comment section....so what are you talking about?

Yes, and even more chance of that happening today than 5 years ago. Reason: because of the modern day prevalence of the 'fake reply' SPAM and Phishing emails. Spammers and phishers are now drafting fresh messages mocked up to look like replies in existing email threads...older spam detection used to let these types of messages slip through because they thought they must be legitimate replies, and so naturally spammers started exploiting that to slip past detection. Modern detection no longer gives apparant replies a free pass.

If you attempt to pressure a witness to destroy evidence...is that witness tampering, evidence tampering, or some other kind of crime? Regardless, throw that one onto the mountain of unprosecuted felony crimes that he's committed.

I must be completely "dull witted" then. When I first started looking into lemmy, I went to the official "join-lemmy.org" website, clicked on "join a server" and picked one of the top listed recommended results. It just happened to be a VERY small and VERY new instance. But as a completely stupid dull witted new user who knew literally nothing about lemmy, I didn't know any better.

After joining that instance and looking for communities on it, I only saw the local communities plus a few non local communities from larger instances and I legit thought that's all there was on lemmy. I mean, it was clear I was seeing the local ones, and it was clear I was seeing some nonlocal ones, who why tf would I expect that I wasn't seeing everything?

Your perspective is tainted by the fact that you know how it all works. People new to lemmy don't, and I'm telling you that the onboarding and community discovery process is dogshit. I beg you to try considering things from the perspective of a newer user.
