I see the age old tradition of not reading the fucking article has been ported over from Reddit to Lemmy.
Pretty funny article, OP.
Hello world
Sounds fun! Probably frustrating if that's your everyday commute, but my friends and I enjoy telling each other stories of our transit related disadventures (car drivers being idiots and bus drivers acting accordingly, the metro automated system being stupid, stuff of this kind), so we'd probably like that.
You hate it while it's happening, but it makes for some pretty silly memories. And most importantly it helps break the monotony of your commute.
Yeah when I do it it's usually on trams or buses, although I find it even harder (and therefore more challenging) on metro trains. Those things accelerate FAST lol.
Way too easy on regular trains so not really that fun.
Bars if I have to, but I feel like I look cooler if I don't hold onto anything, so I often try doing that and just balancing.
(I know I don't, you don't have to remind me that)
Not like they have much surface to put solar panels over lol
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.
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.
Friendly admin to the rescue, I can still see user and mod deleted content. Usually it's a curse, but I'm glad it can help for once.
Is your link any one of these?
I've considered that briefly but I don't think we can really afford anything of that kind right now.
The biggest problem is that none of us on the team have any experience whatsoever on developing mobile apps, so it'd be a matter of learning yet another language from scratch. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, is that I'm not aware of any app that is available on both Android and iOS, so even if we were to build such an app, we would still need to throw half the userbase under the bus.
And of course there would also be the problem of keeping the app up to date with any breaking changes made to the Lemmy API which, even if it was as easy as just merging in the work of the original developer, would still take time.
I'd love nothing more than to have app support for flairs but right now I don't think any of us has enough free time to tackle such a massive challenge. One day in the distant future I have plans to edit the Lemmy backend directly and inject flairs somewhere in there, that would make it easier to add cross client compatibility. But first I'll have to learn Rust, so it will take loads of time.
