These are two comments that you have made, and I think people are pointing out the contradiction:

Israel is not a single person. The Israelis being held hostage are certainly victims. Antisemitism in the west has reached a point where it’s no longer safe to raise awareness that Hamas is still holding Israelis hostage, see the Boulder, CO attack. You’re being told you should dehumanize all Israelis (along with anyone that even has empathy for Israelis) so you can believe a simple narrative where all Israelis are evil. Likely you’re also being told that anyone that has empathy for Israelis being held hostage are evil (aka the “Zionist Jews”). You’re probably just not to the point where you’re believing all Jews are evil, but you might be willing to look the other way about the actions of those that do.

Yeah Italy just rolled over in WWII while Germany fought to the bitter end. Do you think it was better that Germany continued fighting when it was obvious they’d lost because some authoritarian asshole convinced them they should own all of the land they wanted with no more Jews?

Look at the photos of German cities at the end of WWII and look at Gaza. This kind of senseless hatred doesn’t accomplish anything other than getting a lot of people killed.

Palestinians are dying because of the hatred of Hamas and it will accomplish exactly nothing.

Also, in your opinion, what should people do in order to end the suffering and violence? Not just for any particular side, but for everyone.

I think that could work, I can lock the NewToPiefed and redirect it to NewToLemmy and rename the later

Alternatively I can keep both open and pin a thread in NewToPiefed saying that they can also post in the larger and more active NewToLemmy, and edit the sidebar of each to say that its ok. That might keep the friction to a minimum so that people are more likely to post wherever they end up.

I think it has been like that for a while. ~~It's not paywalled, but rather account-walled~~ (edit: I was wrong)

There may also be different versions of the article, since I don't always come across the wall

It seems that there are a few common types of sounds

  • O-live: English, Basque, Dutch, Czech, etc. Potentially even Albanian and Japanese which kept the "Oh-Lee..." Portion
  • Zay-Toon: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Farsi, the language you are learning

Then some unique ones that still might fit into those bins:

  • Marathi is listed as "Jai-fa-la", which is still somewhat similar to the second type

  • someone commented Gan-lan, which seems to be different

What is PieFed

PieFed follows a similar format as Lemmy and Mbin. Those that are familiar with Lemmy will find it very similar, with some additional features including topic lists, optional private voting, new mod and admin tools, crosspost de-duplication, community wikis, etc. Thanks to how the fediverse works, you can use either lemmy.ca or piefed.ca to interact freely!

We will put together some guides on our non-profit's website at some point. In the meantime, we have created [email protected] for us to learn from each other. There is also the official [email protected] community which has a similar purpose.

We have done some testing and we are learning as we go, but please bear with us while this new platform gets going 🙂

Piefed is another instance type that is growing in popularity, and a few instances are now turning on the API. As such, apps are also implementing support.

It would be great if Boost would support it too. Hopefully the extra development overhead isn't too bad.

Some recent discussion: https://piefed.social/post/817564

The page for developers:

https://join.piefed.social/docs/developers/

The API for third-party apps (frontends, bots, etc) is 95% the same as the Lemmy API.

Tracking code that Meta and Russia-based Yandex embed into millions of websites is de-anonymizing visitors by abusing legitimate Internet protocols, causing Chrome and other browsers to surreptitiously send unique identifiers to native apps installed on a device, researchers have discovered. Google says it's investigating the abuse, which allows Meta and Yandex to convert ephemeral web identifiers into persistent mobile app user identities.

The covert tracking—implemented in the Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica trackers—allows Meta and Yandex to bypass core security and privacy protections provided by both the Android operating system and browsers that run on it. Android sandboxing, for instance, isolates processes to prevent them from interacting with the OS and any other app installed on the device, cutting off access to sensitive data or privileged system resources. Defenses such as state partitioning and storage partitioning, which are built into all major browsers, store site cookies and other data associated with a website in containers that are unique to every top-level website domain to ensure they're off-limits for every other site.

This post for example.

It is readable for a moment, but then the image slides to the left and the text slides with it, causing the first part of every line to be off screen and unreadable

Yup, the dev commented on this a while back here:

https://lemmy.ca/post/6072534/3382664

Dev here.

The dialog and its content is not created by me, it is a standard solution from Google to comply with GDPR and other laws. More info here: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/10114014?hl=en

The consent dialog is also required by Google AdMob to show ads, and it is shown when the ad network is initialized.

When the app launches, first it checks for the remove ads purchase, and if it is not present, it will initialize the ads sdk. The ad network is not initialized if the remove ads purchase is detected.

Boost for Reddit was using the very same ad networks and consent dialog.

(In fact they've commented on this a few times)

I personally liked Boost, and paid for the ad free version to support the development. For what it's worth, I've also donated to / bought a few others for similar reasons, and I keep a few Lemmy apps installed so I can test things out on the admin side.

Without recommending any particular app, I'd recommend this site, which lets you compare and filter by the factors that are important to you: https://lemmyapps.com/

If you want a guide for new users, we have one here (tldr it links to the site above): https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/mobile-apps

What I hate to see, even in this thread, is people turning on each other in this "us vs. them", "you're either a part of the pact or you're against us" nonsense

Let's all remember why WE ALL CHOSE to get on the fediverse and build it. The strength of the fediverse comes from the freedom for each instance to choose how to run things. My understanding is that no one in an instance is harmed if some other instance chooses to federate or defederate from Threads.

I hate Meta. I also know that Meta doesn't need to do anything to take down the fediverse if we do it ourselves.

About time

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub

ActivityPub is a standard for the Internet in the Social Web Networking Group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The standard was co-authored by Evan Prodromou, creator of StatusNet (now known as GNU social). At an earlier stage, the name of the protocol was "ActivityPump", but it was felt that ActivityPub better indicated the cross-publishing purpose of the protocol. It is the most widely supported standard (by some margin) in the Fediverse.

It's a little ironic that they protect SOME copyright and artistic styles (from giant corporations producing media) but not other copyright and artistic styles (independent artists and creators)

So all the reasons they listed here, it's ok to do that to everyone else just not Disney 😒

Time to switch to the open source / self hosted / jailbroken creation tools instead

Sounds like a really spammy and annoying way to promote an app. I assume someone else who has your phone number signed up on their app and gave access to all their contacts. Then the app sends out spam texts to get you to sign up.

Depending on where you are located, you might be able to report it. Otherwise just drop them a bad review, or name and shame them here

edit, I assume it's this: https://slickapp.co/

Relevant bit for those that don't click through:

Daniel Bernstein at the University of Illinois Chicago says that the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is deliberately obscuring the level of involvement the US National Security Agency (NSA) has in developing new encryption standards for “post-quantum cryptography” (PQC). He also believes that NIST has made errors – either accidental or deliberate – in calculations describing the security of the new standards. NIST denies the claims.

“NIST isn’t following procedures designed to stop NSA from weakening PQC,” says Bernstein. “People choosing cryptographic standards should be transparently and verifiably following clear public rules so that we don’t need to worry about their motivations. NIST promised transparency and then claimed it had shown all its work, but that claim simply isn’t true.”

Also, is this the same Daniel Bernstein from the 95' ruling?

The export of cryptography from the United States was controlled as a munition starting from the Cold War until recategorization in 1996, with further relaxation in the late 1990s.[6] In 1995, Bernstein brought the court case Bernstein v. United States. The ruling in the case declared that software was protected speech under the First Amendment, which contributed to regulatory changes reducing controls on encryption.[7] Bernstein was originally represented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.[8] He later represented himself.[9]
