Maybe, I had OrangeFox working on other ROMs, might give TRWP a try again. Tbh it could just be my phone (Poco F3), never really been able to get things working smoothly, eg backup and restore at recovery level.

Maybe, but it looks the same as the LineageOS one, and doesn't have any functionality really beyond ADB Sideload. At least, that's all I've ever had for my alioth version.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: most new hydrogen technology is snake oil.

Its main source right now is as a byproduct to petrochemical processing, so a lot of the motivation behind it is really about maintaining these production lines, rather than "going green".

Some things do require hydrogen, eg science applications. Hydrogen can be made using green electricity, but the energy cost is incredibly high. In order to fulfill just the things that require hydrogen, where there is no other alternative, we would need 3x the global renewable capacity solely dedicated to hydrogen production. If we start adding mass transport into that mix, or things like this hydrogen heating system, then we're only exacerbating the problem.

We need our renewable electricity to power things that already use electricity. We don't have enough capacity to be pouring it away into all the potential uses for hydrogen - which are often far less efficient. You lose so much energy creating hydrogen (as well as losses due to leaks) that you may as well just power it with electricity directly.

Looks like you have a year ban at POLICE PROBLEM then a 5 day instance ban on another account. Although, I'm not sure it is an instance ban, I had a similar one that had no community in the modlog but I was still able to comment on other lemmy.ml communities (this could have been a federation bug).

Multiple accounts have had a bunch of removed comments under "Rule 1" and "Rule 2" bans (which are kind of bullshit as they don't actually reference which set of rules, the modlog doesn't say which community it was removed from and also most rules are just bullet points and not numbered). Typically these are either bigotry or "Be civil/respsectful", which way around they are depends on which set of rules. The former is often misused all over lemmy, but the latter can cover any hostile comment.

Currently you have a ~2 month long ban from .ml's World News, but that does seem to me a problem community from what I've been seeing.

This one was funny:

2 months ago - mod - Banned @Ilovethebomb from the community GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml

reason: PUNISHMENT TIME BITCH!

2 months ago - mod - Unbanned @Ilovethebomb from the community GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml

2 months ago - mod - Banned @Ilovethebomb from the community GenZedong@lemmygrad.ml

reason: liberal

I can just imagine the look on the mod's face when they realised their reason would be published to the modlog, trying to go back and change it only for it all to be set in stone. What's interesting is they didn't remove any comments.

It doesn't suit me personally, I want more extensions. In particular, I use uMatrix, as it gives a little more flexibility than uBlock Origin even in authormode. I've been able to bypass paywalls by targeting elements from a domain, rather than the domain itself. But also there are plenty of quality of life extensions I rely on, eg gestures.

Mullvad is very good out of the box though, I'll give it that. And I use Mull on Android quite happily (although this does allow more extensions, pretty sure the two aren't affiliated).

Were they bans from lemmy.ml, or from specific communities within lemmy.ml? I've only had a ban from !worldnews@lemmy.ml

Edit: Actually maybe it was for the whole instance lol, not sure, I hadn't noticed I was banned for 2 weeks anyway.

Edit2: Seems it was just the one community, I was commenting on other lemmy.ml communities just fine. However the modlog doesn't say which community I was banned from. Generally, the modlog should contain more information.

Yeah they do generally, and I can install and run a custom recovery (Orange Fox, had more luck with that on my device than TWRP). When I'm in recovery, I can see all the root storage, I can see all the installed apps, but sdcard just has Fox's log folder while storage has a bunch of folders with encrypted names. I think maybe it's the ROM specifically (DivestOS) that's doing some extra encryption, I'm not sure. In any case, I struggle to flash things because of this, sometimes I've had to stick with the stock LineageOS recovery and sideload to get Magisk on.

Maybe with more tinkering I could figure out the issue, but I don't really have the time so much anymore.

Salvatore Ganacci is a legend. In another video he

Spoilersaves animals from abuse and drives off into the sunset with them in an Italian shoe.


Didn't know it was a sample though, I assumed he did most of the vocal parts. Thanks for the link, right up my street!

Oh wow, some big names for the English version!

But the rules on almost all sites is that they don't have value - the terms and conditions forbid you from trading usernames.

Like I say, they can't have it both ways. Either they have no value and trading is against the terms, or they do have value and can be traded, in which case the website has a duty towards the user as the "bank" where the valuable item is kept. Furthermore, the higher the price Twitter are looking to sell usernames for, the more reasonable the claim against them becomes. $50,000 is a significant amount, one which a claim could reasonably be made for.

On a proprietary website like Twitter nothing belongs to the user.

Not true. If I make a post on Twitter, that post is my intellectual property. Twitter might claim extensive rights to user posts, as they are on their website and their terms and conditions claim such rights, but the user is still the owner.

Whether or not Twitter can even hold onto all of the rights their terms claim is also tenuous, as there is an argument that consideration (ie payment) should be given in return for those rights. Using the website is not really consideration, as the website is free to use regardless of whether you post content to it.

But most of the moderation is done by community moderators, not admin. So it isn't necessarily the face of the instance but the face of each individual community.

However, if the moderator doesn't assign their username to the moderation action, then you can't really tell who's done it. It just says "mod", but it could be a community moderator, or it could be an admin. I can understand a mod not wanting to publish their username with the action, but it should still at least tell you what capacity they were acting under. Generally, I think instance admin are more sensible (with the exception of hexbear).

Also, when you load the instance modlog you'll end up seeing moderation from every other instance, and it doesn't even tell you which community it refers to most of the time.
