i remember in late 2000s and early 2010s, this was the peak design one could get (i think wiki homepage used to/maybe still today has it)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

i will try to do it, i may ask matrix for help

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

please go ahead. but this is very generic, so you can easily simplify and delete plenty of selectors/key-value pairs.

additionally, existing high contrast theme is very close, and you might just want to change that a bit.

if you want the font, i can share the iosevka config, and also compile to woff files (i currently only have ttfs)

reddit - anything nsfw/piracy or whatever related (sometimes these are flagged by ai, sometimes post with "hot" ratings too) - view from app or signin or verify age (compyling with uk law)

google - i can not even make a google account without my phone number - instantly loosing my anonymity

not sure about facebook (have not had facebook account in like past 5-10 years, or tried to)

Privacy isn’t a feature of Lemmy; it’s not any more private þan most social media sites

anything public can not be private (it is kinda the definition). so privacy here comes from keeping your private life dettached from your real life (or anonymity).

but þat’s kind of þe point, right? Public, social media?

exactly

Þe host admins can read everyþing you post

hosts can read messages (dms on fediverse) too.

but it is not piefed specific. would it be allowed (not sure about the word i used conveys what i feel)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

thank you. yeah i prefer monospace fonts. and iosevka is a pretty good base font, and you can choose what exact design for each character do you want. my usual aim is to have simple shapes - either simple arcs or straight lines.

If possible, use zswap. it is more flexible, and effictively functions like swap. reduce swappiness a lot (something like 5 or 10). zram afaik is not flexible, swap is.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/471912/zram-vs-zswap-vs-zcache-ultimate-guide-when-to-use-which-one

this suggests you to have a physical swap too. I for one do not have it. so i have a bit of wierdity, but performs fine imo. maybe give it a try

another thing - there is nothing stopping you from using temp/alias mails on fediverse. there are no phone number/gov id verifications invloved. yes ips will be logged, but you can atleast read most stuff without logging in (which is true for all non anonymous sites). by being decentralised, you also evade being under a single domain. in case a govt wants to ban a instance under their jurisdiction, rest would feel it, but it would be much better than having a centralised platform being blocked.

there is a deifference btw privacy and anonymity. for online forums, privacy does not matter (you decide what to post), and only anonymity does, so in some sense this discussion is invalid

It's a charity set up for dads to send letters to people who don't have a dad! Website is here. Become a dad is here for anyone retired or anything who has the time.

Thought you might find it interesting (although obviously none of the dads are as great as you)

this has to be illegal. you should not be able to trademark such a common word

i get your line of thought, but i think schools and public infra in general should promote public well being over potentially making them slightly happier. As i see, it is similar to schools having mandatory sports for all, which promotes health. many students want to be lazy, but it does not harm them in general to do exercise

I learnt about some very cool irish lore which matches very well.

I have been wanting to do some educational stuff. my primary reason is to revisit stuff that i have learned and am forgetting, and additionally documenting it better so i can reference it in future. I am targetting more for under grad/grad level stuff. Topics would be mostly what i have studied - engineering, material science (thermo, properties, physics, synthesis, structure and shape, charecterisation, etc), maths, physics (mechanics, optics, qm, quantum optics), simulations, biochemistry (beginner), and more. I also may occasionally do some tech related stuff.

I can by myself restudy all this. but thing is that I am lazy and easily distracted. It would be great if i can cover stuff with someone (in interactive manner).

Why do I not find some kinda study buddy irl - I do not know how to do that.

Why I am hesitant/or have not started yet - it is because primarily laziness, and alsothat tons already exist. there is online college courses, which are better than what i could ever produce. I am also not a entertaining kind, and not that good of teacher, so i do not know what i can potentially add to what is existing.

I have also thought of doing some other medium. For example website. I already do maintain one repository of sorts, by my irl identity. but i do not see anyone randomly stumbling on it. I can also record lectures, and post them somewhere, but then I am definitely not doing anything better than any institute.

Is there currently any way to get rss feeds for above? on lemmy, we can do notifications, and on lemmings.world, ridokusage implemented rss for saved stuff - https://lemmings.world/post/15407036, https://github.com/RikudouSage/LemmyPersonalRss. As I understand, server admins need to run the latter, and it is not lemmings.world specific (though i am not sure if it may have some lemmy specific code).

And afaik, there is no rss for user's created stuff (one could turn notification's on for user, and then use notification rss to get this can be a valid workaround).

And I also had a question about posts' rss. on lemmy, the rss for a post also has votes and comments count for a post. assuming this information is available for a post, can this be also implemented in piefed?

on lemmy rss feed starts like
