I think that Will Smith is pussy whipped by his wife and Scientology. I think she uses the church against him, with the threat that they will take his kids away and hide them from him. That's the only explanation I have for his (slightly delayed) response with Chris Rock, and with Will being ok with his wife grooming their son's underage friend and later having an open relationship with him on the side.

It baffles me that Trump thinks it's a good idea to mess with the school that most lawyers come from.

WhatsApp is the big one, that shit is a proven vulnerability. It was literally the vector for zero click access to Android devices in the Pegasus toolkit.

One way around it is to have a separate device for WhatsApp itself, then use WhatsApp4Web from F-Droid. It's basically a web wrapper for the browser version of WhatsApp, but it does run somewhat independently of the main WhatsApp device (unlike eg Threema where the website won't work unless the device has internet).

Nominally EU voltage is 230V, and may be 240V. In fact, it can be as high as 230V +10% = 253V. Higher voltage means more power for a given current, so nominally it's 16A x 230V = 3.68kW, but you could have say 16A x 250V = 4.0kW.

If your sauna is 400V then it sounds like you'll be 230V (400V / sqrt(3) = 230). But the voltage can also be 230V -6% = 216V, so 220V is within scope.

But yeah, standard voltages in the EU are either 230V/400V or 240V/415V. They've been harmogenised, but if you look at the numbers you'll see the trick - 230V +10% is roughly the same as 240V +6%. So the range is 230V-6% and 240V+6%.

You've got a 3 phase connection though so you might find you've got different single phase breakers on different phases (eg lights on one phase, sockets on another), with slightly different voltages for each one.

If you read the article and between the lines a little, this was instigated by a Republican who actually supports trans people and believe they should get treatment, but was later silenced by the rest of his party.

  • 2022: Gov Cox gives his support for treatment of trans people, based on evidence.
  • 2023: Gov Cox capitulates and "temporarily" bans the drug, in lieu of a report he commissions looking for evidence.
  • 2025: Report is released and supports trans people, other Republicans denounce it, Gov Cox does not comment.

Gov Cox is clearly having his arm twisted behind the scenes here. That doesn't excuse him - at best he's compromising his morals and putting his political position first - but I think it's important to frame it accurately here rather than jump on a hate train and paint everyone with the same brush. Victory is had by winning people over to your side, not by making everyone an enemy.

Linktree is a social media site that gives you a simple web page with all your links to your actual social media sites. This way, you can provide one link to your fans, taking up less space in a profile, then fans can pick and choose to follow on whichever services they prefer.

Usually, it'll be something like instagram, onlyfans, fansly; maybe some others like snapchat or kik. I think sometimes music artists use Linktree sites too, ie completely SFW, but primarily they exist for NSFW content creators.

I think it was on a podcast or something, but someone somewhere once said that people/aliens in the future might look back on our civilisation and assume so much about us from social media bots. They might think that we go around greeting each other going "Link in bio" like Vulcans say "Live long and prosper".

The more I look at it I think it might be a 132kV line on a 400kV tower, with the intention to upgrade it some time in the future. I say this because the insulators aren't actually the full length of the spacing from the tower, there's a separator between the tower and the start of the insulator fins. This makes me think they've left room for longer 400kV insulators to be installed.

Saying that though I have no idea, there could have been all sorts of other considerations that led to a configuration like that.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That pun was totally intended, and I cannot fault you for it.

I was thinking 132kV, but wasn't sure if this is Europe where you might find 100kV (although again it varies by country). In the UK, 132kV is the boundary between distribution and transmission. DNO's (Distribution Network Operators) generally use 11kV, 33kV, 66kV (generally rare but used in some areas eg in North West England) and 132kV, TNO's (Transmission) use 132kV, 275kV and 400kV. Although, a lot of 275kV substations are built to 400kV spec (eg in Scotland), so that they can upgrade in the future.

You sometimes get this with power lines, they might install higher voltage insulators then run it at a lower voltage until some time later when the network is upgraded. This spoils the game of guess the voltage/makes it more challenging, and you end up with really weird looking connections between large pylons and small poles.

Fun fact: You can estimate the voltage by the length of the insulators. My guess is this is around 100kV (2x 3 phase circuits), around the border of transmission and distribution voltages.

You can also estimate the capacity by the number of conductors per phase. This has a pair of lines for each phase, so a fair chunk, but not the 3 or 4 conductors you sometimes see (although maybe you mainly see that on higher transmission voltages.

I made this comment yesterday, however it doesn't show up in my profile nor on lemm.ee - all I can see is replies to the comment from my notifications, but not the comment tree in the post and all 3 replies have the same url to the same non-existent parent comment. When I browse the full comments none of them show up. It also appears on some federated instances, but not others - it's there on kbin, but not on lemmy.world or dbzer0 - yet somehow I have replies from all 3.

I think since the 0.18.3 update, the Context links in comments aren't working for me. On the website, it does nothing. On Jerboa, it loads something, but it misses off the top of the comment tree, and doesn't let me click it again to go further up the tree.

The previous version made you click Context multiple times to work your way up the tree, and as you went higher the comment you were looking at might end up further down the tree (branches would be displayed based on your sorting order, rather than the specific context chain). However despite its flaws it was far more functional than this.

 

Maybe this post would be more at home on a lemmy.ml community, or on github, but this place is my home and I feel like I'd like to get opinions here first :o)

Right now, there is no way to make an instance agnostic link for a post or comment, like you can do with users or communities. Each instance assigns its own number to posts and comments, and there isn't really an easy way to find a post or comment on one instance when starting from another.

For example, if I get a lemmy.world link to a post in a lemmy.world community, in order for me to comment from lemm.ee I would first have to go to lemm.ee/c/community@lemmy.world, then find the post in there manually. If I want to reply to a specific comment, I would have to find the post on lemm.ee in this way, then also search that thread for the comment. If you're looking for an old post with a lot of comments, this can be quite challenging.

Instead, I think lemmy needs to revise how it numbers comments and posts, using the same system used for users and communities. Rather than every instance using a different number, they should use the federated host's number followed by @hostinstance. The local user would still see the original federated link, but users from other instances would see it in their own instance with a tag for the federated host instance. This way, anyone could easily edit any link to make it work in their own instance (provided that link has already been federated in their own instance).


Here is a specific example I wrote in a comment elsewhere:

For a specific example, to me, this post is https://lemm.ee/post/1726780. In the original, federated instance, the post is https://lemmy.ml/post/2308622. Instead, it should appear to me as https://lemm.ee/post/2308622@lemmy.ml.

Your comment, to me, is https://lemm.ee/comment/1409174. The federated link is https://lemmy.one/comment/1393053. This is the link you see, and should continue to see, but I should see https://lemm.ee/comment/1393053@lemmy.one.

Using the instance in the numbering scheme means each federated host instance manages its own numbering while ensuring there will never be a clash between instances. https://lemm.ee/comment/1393053@lemmy.one and https://lemm.ee/comment/1393053 would refer to two completely different comments. This information is already being transmitted in the process of federation, so it’s just a matter of tagging the data when it’s received.

I frequently find this, for some reason kbin.social comments aren't federating properly. When they reply to my comment thread I am unable to reply to them, and when I log into kbin.social directly and post there my comment doesn't show up on lemm.ee ~~for some time~~ at all.

Edit: A good fix is to apply a language to your comment, eg English. This should allow your comment to post. However it seems like there is still some issue with comments federating across after that - your comment might appear on kbin, but you might not get their replies again.

I tried to set up shreddit to clear out an alt, I've created the app and it exists on my account but it's completely blocked.

My guess is they aren't allowing any new 3rd party app tokens to be approved.

I've had a few errors loading pages in new tabs. Unfortunately I've been hitting refresh before screenshotting most, however this is one of them.

The link that failed to load: https://lemm.ee/post/482750?scrollToComments=true Although, it loaded immediately with one refresh.

I've also had a few Cloudfire 503 error pages across various tabs. Again, these loaded immediately with a single refresh.

There was one other issue I noticed, I tried replying to a kbin.social user on a lemmy.world thread, and the reply wouldn't post. The comment I was replying to was less than 10 min old. The circle would just keep spinning, but also I noted that it didn't give me the "leave this page?" popup when I tried to refresh. I tried many times over, then gave up and just replied with my own kbin.social account. Edit: The thread I can't comment on: https://lemm.ee/post/499275?scrollToComments=true

Edit2: Another lemmy.world thread I can't comment on: https://lemm.ee/post/501214

 

In particular, I'm disappointed that they went ahead with removing captcha. I get that they need to rewrite it, but surely they could have kept it in until the replacement was made?

Will lemm.ee be using a modified version to include some temporary captcha and prevent spammers and bots signing up en masse?
