Skipped over 0.19.6 as I heard a bugfix quick patch was coming and it is now here. 0.19.6 has all the changes, 0.19.7 just has a few bugfixes. Very few user changes. There's now a "controversial" sort mode. Most other changes are back end stuff like improved federation performance.

You can see the full changelog here.

You can follow the upgrade process at https://status.thelemmy.club/maintenance

As always, thanks for being a member of The Lemmy Club.


If you’d like to help contribute to our ongoing costs, or would like to show some appreciation, you can at OpenCollective: https://opencollective.com/thelemmyclub

This instance is funded primarily out of my own pocket with no return whatsoever. The costs aren't too high (~$250/yr) but community donations are always very appreciated. At the moment, we're about 10% community funded. Either way, The Lemmy Club isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

A group of around 50 activists were arrested on Capitol Hill on Tuesday while calling for an arms embargo on Israel and urging US senators to vote for a bill that would block a $20 billion weapons package to Israel.

The demonstration of more than 100 activists from a broad coalition of different groups, including Palestinians, Jews, climate advocates, veterans and indigenous people, took place in the atrium of the Senate Hart Office Building one day before senators vote on the bill.

The measure, called the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval, a series of resolutions introduced by Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch of Vermon, Brian Schatz of Hawaii and Jeff Merkley of Oregon, would block around $20 billion in weapons sales to Israel that was put forth by President Joe Biden's administration.

Butthead took his sex workers to “Pretty Woman”.

Remember, when Dukakis lost the presidential election because he sat in a tank?

After being harassed in multiple discord channels by powermod FlyingSquid the news mod blackbeard has shuttered his account and moved to bluesky.

"The recklessness with which people downvote polite disagreements reminds me of all the worst parts of Reddit, and it proves to me that this isn't the social media savior I'd hoped it would be, and is instead just another echo chamber. I hope eventually lemmy.world (and the fediverse more broadly) can grow out of that, but some of the behavior I've seen on the inside from both mods and admins doesn't really inspire much confidence for that kind of evolution in the short term. "

FlyingSquid is the same mod who has the power to siteban people from lemmy.world

Why does lemmy.world keep having issues with their powermods and admins? Why do powermods get the ability to siteban their enemies from the largest instance?

Summary

The North Carolina House passed a controversial bill allocating $227 million for Hurricane Helene relief while including provisions to reduce powers of the incoming Democratic governor and attorney general.

Critics, including Democrats, called it a “power grab,” citing changes like stripping the governor’s control over the State Board of Elections and limiting the attorney general’s ability to challenge state laws or advocate for utility customers.

Republicans defended the bill as necessary, but some GOP lawmakers opposed it.

The bill now heads to the Senate and may face a gubernatorial veto.
