Yeah, that day hubris removed several billionaires in one go was a terrible day for humanity.

Matrix is cooked in c/technology@lemmy.world

Hard to see how them choosing to charge money to access their server will affect the future of the project, even them choosing to not run a free for anyone server any more wouldn't necessarily affect the future of the project because the project is not to provide a free for all server but to develop software. Either way, them trying to find a way to keep the server operating certainly doesn't mean 'Matrix is cooked'.

As far as Redis goes, as I understand it, they moved their software away from an open source license. There's zero indication Matrix are going to do the same thing.

Is UX/UI and marketing really the reason XMPP lags behind Signal/Matrix/Telegram? in c/privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 month ago

Matrix is E2EE as long as the room is. XMPP server/clients can enable OMEMO (as long as the server supports it).

'Matrix' is not going Freemium. Matrix.org's server access is going freemium. You don't have to use matrix.orgs servers to join or use the service.

An interesting alternative to both might be Delta Chat.

Looks like the instance(s) admin has gone way overboard on hardware specs.

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 month ago (5 children)

This seems a bit of an odd take. Matrix.org making their server freemium is up to them - charging some users to use the service (not the software) is a way of keeping the lights on. Better that than ads or selling user data. Lots of privacy focused orgs do the same - Proton, Tuta, Mailbox, Mullvad, IVPN. If people also have an issue with Element - don't use Element, use one of the other apps.

If people are this upset, its not impossible (or even that hard) to migrate to a different server - or host your own.

Getting the LLMs to Think For You in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world
[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're right OOP, we are not the same. I have the full context, processing time, an enjoyable reading experience and a framework to understand the book in question and its wider relevance. You have a set of bullet points that, when asked to talk about on the mind numbing mens rights/crypto podcast you no doubt have, you cannot talk about, a lot of which will be wrong anyway.

Is it expected to drink alcohol on first date? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago

The only rules that matter are the ones you and your date agree on and largely revolve around where it is you decide to meet. There's nothing wrong with either of you having a drink if you're somewhere that serves alcohol. There's a lot wrong if either of you go on a bender. There's also nothing wrong with drinking a soft drink too. Or doing an activity based date rather than a food/drink oriented one.

Just communicate openly with each other before the date with an eye towards your dates feelings/perception of safety.

Is it okay for gay people to call ourselves homophobic slurs? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 month ago

For you personally to use that word to describe or allude to yourself and only yourself seems like something thats totally your call.

I do have to say though that encouraging someone else to use a word that is (or was once) a slur - especially if they are not gay themselves and therefore cannot possibly be reclaiming it - feels like a regressive and fairly crappy thing to do (assuming that they are straight).

Data bill opposed by Sir Elton John and Dua Lipa finally passes in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk
[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago

The government refused the amendment. It says it is already carrying out a separate consultation around copyright and it wants to wait for the outcome of that.

If the bill has already passed they've not waited for anything. Be interesting to see how artists - smaller artists - respond. One possible outcome might be them removing all electronic music from bandcamp, streaming etc and just selling vinyl etc.

Honestly, I am not trying to bait you or troll you or anything else when I say this but if you equate a simple request for context with toxicity you're clearly not approaching this realistically or rationally.

You might well be right and you've been treated very poorly but literally no one on this thread apart from you can ever know that and no one is just going to take someone's word for it.

Strange sudden issue rendering pages (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/librewolf@lemmy.ml

Two days ago, LW started behaving very oddly. It suddenly stopped rendering pages - but only on some sites. For example, the default Lemmy skin is fine but the Alexandrite skin is not. The BBC website doesn't work either. A few others seemingly totally random.

The domain resolves and it makes the initial connection and then it takes up to a minute of doing nothing and then just craps out, unable to render the page. Checking the Inspector reveals no errors or warnings and the network inspector is making a connection but not loading anything other than headers and basic tags.

The page presents no errors it just shows a blank screen. <html> <head> and <body> tags load but nothing else.

All these pages work fine in all other browsers I've tested in (floorp, Mullvad, vanilla FFox and Brave).

Details: LibreWolf 128.0-2 (flatpak) on LMDE (Faye).

Any clues, pointers or advice very gratefully received. I love the browser and have it set up just how I like it so don't really want to switch to another.

Satan Not Hatin' and GOSPod Updates (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Firstly, in an amusing turn of events YouTube removed the latest episode of GOSPod from their site. The reason? The episode - the subject of which was Satanic conspiracy theories - briefly mentioned the antivaxxers and YT said we were peddling medical misinformation. We appealed but nope. You can still hear the episode in all other places listed here.

Secondly, the S8N Not H8N campaign now has its own dedicated website as its was just getting too big (over 130 participants now) for one page on the main website to cut it. You can find that here: https://satan-not-hating.com and we also have launched socials for it too if you want to follow them:

GOS UK Statement on the recent spate of far right racist violence across the UK (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

The far right, emboldened and enabled by political leaders such as Nigel Farage, are currently engaged in a wave of misinformation-driven violence that is in danger of engulfing the UK. See it for what it is - extremist thugs manipulating the totally unrelated murders of children to further their fascism.

They are using the tools of right wing social media outlets to organise and spread their misinformation and hate via the usual suspects - Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins, Andrew Tate, Elon Musk etc.

How can we fight back?

One way to effectively fight back is to support groups like Hope Not Hate and their 'Hold On To Hope' campaign: https://hopenothate.org.uk/hold-on-to-hope/ where you can sign up to lend support, keep abreast of developments and donate if you are able to.

If it is safe for you to do so, another way is to talk positively about multiculturalism on your social media presences and challenge the prejudices you encounter. This country was literally built by thousands of years of multiculturalism with hands and minds from many places and of many colours creating the very best of it. We must never let the far right deny that reality or allow their misinformation to gain a foothold.

EDIT: Here is a list of UK wide anti-racism protests being held this coming weekend: https://standuptoracism.org.uk/stop-the-far-right-national-day-of-protest-saturday-10th-august/

Grzegorz Braun vs. Global Order of Satan Poland (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

On December 12, 2023, within the corridors of the Polish Parliament, a scandalous incident occurred, exemplifying extreme discrimination and a lack of respect for the freedom of conscience and religion. During the ceremonial lighting of Hanukkah candles, Member of Parliament Grzegorz Braun extinguished them using a fire extinguisher. Following the incident, Braun gave an interview to the tabloid Super Express, justifying his actions by claiming that “the act that took place in the Parliament was a religious act, deeply satanic in nature” and that “it would be a betrayal of his principles to tolerate and ignore Satanism.” Thus, in the view of the Global Order of Satan, Braun’s act resonated not only as anti-Semitic but also as anti-Satanic. For this reason, one of the members of our community has filed a complaint with the prosecutor’s office, citing a justified suspicion of committing a crime under Article 196 of the Penal Code(commonly referred to as ‘the insult to religious feelings’) to the detriment of one of our members.

Satan Not Hatin' Documentary Underway (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

A documentary about our Satan Not Hatin' campaign is underway!

An award-winning documentary filmmaker — who has also directed numerous high-profile music videos for metal bands — was intrigued by the campaign, and by Satanists working towards positive change in the music scenes we love. They are now in the process of interviewing participating bands...watch this space for more updates on this exciting development.

Meanwhile the campaign progresses apace, with nearly 70 participants signed up! If you, your venue, or bands you know would like to join in you can get in touch using the form on our website at https://gos.pm/snh . Let's make sure we're all #protectedbythepitchfork

'Safe' Metal Bands and a campaign I'm part of (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

So, as well as subbed to this Community, I'm also moderator of !globalorderofsatan@lemmy.blahaj.zone which is a Community for an atheistic Satanist organisation I'm a member of.

We recently (re)launched our Satan Not Hatin' campaign which we're running to try and tackle the incidents of hate (racism, homophobia, transphobia and Nazi shit etc) that sadly some metal bands put out. The campaign isn't just for metal bands, we also cover punk/goth/industrial/alt/indie too but the emphasis is metal bands. It's early days, but it'll continue to grow.

If you'd like to read more and see how you can help (if you'd like to) please visit the page or if you want to skip straight to the music, there's a playlist on YouTube | Invidious | Piped.

Satan Not Hatin' Campaign Launched (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Satanists come from a range of eclectic backgrounds with many of us coming from the various alt music scenes – rock, metal, punk, goth, industrial and more. Our love of these scenes, along with the bands, venues and organisations that exist within them, intertwines with our Satanism, often embracing the same themes, imagery and symbolism.

Sadly, we are noticing a rise in hatred and bigotry in the music scenes we hold dear. We’ve witnessed racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other hate crimes. We’ve seen the symbols we use co-opted into messages of hate. People have been made to feel shamed and unwelcome in what were once open and inclusive communities.

No more. This is where we start to reclaim these spaces.

We have therefore relaunched the Satan Not Hatin’ campaign to combat this rise and are thrilled to have been joined by a number of bands, orgs and venues from those scenes.
