Should I avoid communities on lemmy.ml?


I've heard people talking about e.g. not subscribing to lemmy.world communities (because they are the largest instance), and others like Lemmygrad seems to be defederated by quite many instances. But what about lemmy.ml? Should that instance and those communities also be avoided? The "issue" is that many large communities seem to be based on that instance. Like !privacy@lemmy.ml and !linux@lemmy.ml

I avoid it because I don’t like authoritarians and genocide denial. But you do you.

I personally refuse to participate in an instance that will ban me from FOSS communities because I mentioned Tiannmen square on their news community.

Guys, did you know that Meta is a terrorist organisation?


Meta is a terrorist organisation.

It uses its resources to provide funding and intelligence to pedophile rings and terrorist groups to help them continue their horrible activities while avoiding the authorities to catch them.

Spread the word. Meta is malice.

Turning myself in


I think I need to call ICE and turn myself in. I'm from somewhere like Barbados, New Zealand, Uruguay or Italy....I've been living in the US for sooooo long that my English is practically perfect. Please deport me. My home country misses my economic contributions.

flatpak "Couldn't find file object" Error when installing - flatpak repair does not fix it


UPDATE: Resolved by deleting all files in /var and ~/.local that are related to bottles. It did not work until I deleted them from the repos directory too.

I tried to install bottles via flatpak, but I get the error:

Error: Error pulling from repo: While pulling app/com.usebottles.bottles/x86_64/stable from remote flathub: Opening content object fdb9f1f85b66889bd0dcced24c4fda571f2fcbddfe0af7176fa33a46953d2038: Opening content object fdb9f1f85b66889bd0dcced24c4fda571f2fcbddfe0af7176fa33a46953d2038: Couldn't find file object 'fdb9f1f85b66889bd0dcced24c4fda571f2fcbddfe0af7176fa33a46953d2038'

I have received such an error before, and usually running flatpak repair fixes it. But that is not working right now.

What else I tried?

flatpak uninstall --unused
flatpak update
flatpak update --appstream
running all the commands as root

More about my system:
I am using gentoo, but I did not think it would matter since the point of flatpak is this separation layer it has.

The error seems to say that it can't find the source file on whatever repo you're using. Are you sure it exists there?

Deleting the bottles directories from the repos directory seems to fix it, thanks for the advice!


Ukraine’s Existence ‘At Risk’ Without Peace Talks by Summer, Says Intelligence Chief


in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

Or you could also read these facts:

Robert Mueller did not disagree with the conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In fact, his investigation confirmed that Russia engaged in "sweeping and systematic" efforts to influence the election through social media manipulation, cyberattacks, and other methods. However, Mueller's findings on whether the Trump campaign conspired with Russia or whether President Trump obstructed justice were more nuanced.

Key Points from the Mueller Investigation:


  1. Russian Interference: Mueller unequivocally stated that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump's campaign. This interference included hacking Democratic emails and spreading disinformation.
  2. No Criminal Conspiracy: While Mueller found numerous contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russian individuals, he did not establish sufficient evidence to prove a criminal conspiracy between the campaign and Russia beyond a reasonable doubt.
  3. Obstruction of Justice: On obstruction, Mueller did not reach a definitive conclusion. His report outlined evidence on both sides but noted that Department of Justice policy prevented him from indicting a sitting president. He explicitly stated that the report "does not exonerate" Trump.
  4. Congressional Testimony: During his 2019 testimony, Mueller rejected claims of "total exoneration" by Trump and emphasized the seriousness of Russian interference, warning it remained an ongoing threat to U.S. democracy.

While Mueller's investigation found no criminal conspiracy, it highlighted significant ethical concerns and vulnerabilities in U.S. democratic processes exposed by Russian interference.

in reply to TacoButtPlug

So, you're saying Russia does same things the US and other great powers do? The problem with your "argument" here is that nobody actually showed that anything Russia has done actually swayed the election in the US.
in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

While it's true that both Russia and the United States have engaged in foreign interference, Russia's approach has been notably different and more pervasive in recent years.

Russia's election interference efforts have indeed been systematic and far-reaching, often focusing on fanning extremism and undermining democratic institutions rather than direct regime change. Key aspects of Russia's approach include:

  1. Global reach: Russian interference has been documented in elections across Europe, the United States, and beyond.
  2. Digital tactics: Russia has extensively used cyberattacks, hack-and-leak operations, and online disinformation campaigns to influence elections.
  3. Promoting division: Russian efforts often aim to exacerbate existing societal divisions and promote extremist views, including far-right ideologies.
  4. Long-term strategy: Russia's interference is part of a broader geopolitical strategy to weaken adversaries by creating doubt, uncertainty, and distrust in democratic institutions.
  5. Evolving sophistication: Russian tactics have become more advanced over time, adapting to new technologies and countermeasures.

While the United States has historically engaged in foreign interventions, often involving regime change through military means, Russia's recent approach has been more focused on covert influence operations that don't necessarily involve direct military action. This strategy allows Russia to impact a larger number of countries simultaneously with less risk of direct confrontation.

The scale and persistence of Russian election interference in the last decade have made it a significant global concern, prompting increased awareness and countermeasures from many democratic nations. This widespread and ongoing campaign of influence distinguishes Russia's recent activities from those of other nations, including the United States, in terms of its scope and potential long-term impact on global democracy.

So your complaint is that the US can no longer do interference around the world unilaterally and that Russia is countering US propaganda with their own. Interesting take there.

I was gonna chill with you but I guess you're just a troll on this shit. Too bad. Blocking you're sad ass.
in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

Then there's also:

Russia has been widely accused of interfering in the socioeconomic and political stability of other countries through a variety of methods, including cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, election meddling, and leveraging economic tools.

Key Examples of Russian Interference


  1. Election Interference:
    • Russia has been implicated in meddling in elections globally, including the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The Kremlin used covert influence campaigns, cyberattacks, and proxy organizations to manipulate public opinion and sow discord.
    • In Europe, Russia has interfered in elections in countries like Ukraine, Germany, and France by supporting fringe political parties, spreading disinformation, and conducting cyberattacks.


  2. Economic Leverage:
    • Russia uses state-controlled firms like Gazprom and Sberbank to gain economic influence in regions such as the Balkans. These investments are often designed to deepen dependency on Russia while undermining Western institutions like NATO and the EU.
    • The invasion of Ukraine has caused global economic disruptions, including food shortages and inflation. While sanctions have strained Russia's economy, Moscow continues to exploit economic tools to exert influence.


  3. Destabilization Campaigns:
    • Beyond elections, Russia has engaged in broader destabilization efforts, such as its annexation of Crimea and support for separatist movements in Ukraine. These actions aim to weaken neighboring states' sovereignty while expanding Russian influence.
    • In Moldova and other post-Soviet states, Russia has sought to subvert democratic processes and maintain control through both overt military aggression and covert operations.


  4. Soft Power Tactics:
    • Moscow cultivates influence through cultural and religious institutions, media outlets, and social organizations. These efforts blur the lines between state-sponsored activities and independent initiatives, providing plausible deniability for the Kremlin.


Russia’s interference strategies are part of a broader effort to assert itself as a global power while challenging Western dominance. These actions have drawn widespread condemnation but continue to evolve as Moscow adapts its tactics to avoid detection and attribution.

Everything you've written applies to the US. In fact, the US has entire organizations like USAID and NED specifically dedicated to the types or interference you're complaining about. Nothing Russia has ever done even comes close to that.

They are not specifically anarchist, probably democratic socialist, though I’ve been pushing them more and more to the left (they started off as neolib), and I think Trump getting elected really disillusioned them with the prospect of reformism actually making meaningful change.

They basically asked me, “It’s fucking crazy over here. People are dying and Trump is fucking up everything. I feel so helpless and hopeless. Do you have any resources on things to do?”

Do you guys have links I could send. Cheers.

Permission denied when posting pictures.


I've decided to try installing PieFed with Docker again and I was finally able to log in now without a CSFR Token warning. I was able to test federation with the remote server scan and that seems to be working. I was also able to create a text post just fine but when I tried to post a picture to my own instance, I got the following error:

Your post was not accepted because [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'app/static/media/posts'

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 5 with Pi OS (Debian 12, ARM64). I didn't change anything in compose.yml. Besides that, I think everything else is working fine. I'm not sure what would be causing this issue.

Then start the containers again.

Distrowatch - Linux Facebook Ban


cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/30849791

Starting on January 19, 2025 Facebook's internal policy makers decided that Linux is malware and labelled groups associated with Linux as being "cybersecurity threats". Any posts mentioning DistroWatch and multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts removed.

We've been hearing all week from readers who say they can no longer post about Linux on Facebook or share links to DistroWatch. Some people have reported their accounts have been locked or limited for posting about Linux.

The sad irony here is that Facebook runs much of its infrastructure on Linux and often posts job ads looking for Linux developers.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything we can do about this, apart from advising people to get their Linux-related information from sources other than Facebook. I've tried to appeal the ban and was told the next day that Linux-related material is staying on the cybersecurity filter. My Facebook account was also locked for my efforts.

We went through a similar experience when Twitter changed its name to X - suddenly accounts which had been re-posting news from our RSS feeds were no longer able to share links. This sort of censorship is an unpleasant side-effect of centralized communication platforms such as X, Facebook, Google+, and so on.

In an effort to continue to make it possible for people to talk about Linux (and DistroWatch), as well as share their views and links, we are providing two options. We have RSS news feeds which get updates whenever we post new announcements, stories, and our weekly newsletters. We also now have a Mastodon account where I will start to post updates - at least for new distributions and notice of our weekly newsletter. Over time we may also add news stories and updates about releases. Links for the feeds and the Mastodon account can be found on our contact page.

The kit would probably have to be used with a certain style of bottle, since if that collar slides up too far you aren't going to get a seal. So the flared end on the bottle would need to be a measured amount or there will be too little or too much tension on the cap when it's flipped.
in reply to plactagonic

My local homebrew shop used to sell these. I think they stopped selling it since people used bottles which couldn't take the pressure.

What were you planning on using them for?



A single post is somehow creating multiple topics with no replies


to: @devnullcc: @angus

---

Any idea what's going on here? It seems to be a different bug than the one where Discourse generates duplicate posts for a Create that later gets Announced back at it.

in reply to silverpill

@angus @silverpill I'm happy to roll back the change, especially if it's causing issues with other software or expectations with where we'd eventually end up.

It's in a v4.1 branch that is as yet unreleased.

in reply to Julian Lam

Re: devnull:I’m happy to roll back the changeI think, on balance, this may make sense.


Switching to my NodeBB account to continue the discussion.

The change has been rolled back now.

@trwnh@pixelfed.social when you say one shouldn't rely on context.type, why is that?

When an object reports a context, I resolve it and check its' type to ensure it is Collection-ish.

When someone on NodeBB tries to pull a context directly into NodeBB, I check for context.type (again, that it is Collection-ish) before trying to load posts.

Both those checks seem ok. Admittedly someone could try pulling a followers collection in, but NodeBB would just see that they're not posts and find nothing to pull in.

So what's the problem? Ideally we have some sort of explicit declaration, of course.

Over time we may also add news stories and updates about releases. Links for the feeds and the Mastodon account can be found on our contact page.

Facebook moderation is infamous for pants on head stupid false positives, but I've never seen one this bad.

Can someone tell them that they didn't link to their mastodon in the post?

I guess they don't understand the concept of instances yet. We need to know which server you're on, guy



Homelab upgrade! - Looking for suggestions on new setup 😀


Hi there good folks!

I am going to be upgrading my server within the next couple of months and am trying to do some prior planning. My current setup is as follows:
- Case: Fractal Define R5
- Mothberboard: Gigabyte Z170X-Designare-CF
- CPU: i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
- Memory: 32 GiB DDR4
- Storage: 15TB spread across 4 HDDs (10x2x2x1) + 1HDD at 10TB for Parity.
- OS: Unraid 🧡

While this setup as served me well, I am completely hooked on these mini-racks(Rackmate T1) and am thinking of getting one eventually. Fortunately I'll be getting my hand on my first mini-pc soon, a ASUS ExpertCenter PN52. This little badboy has the following specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HX
- Memory: 32 GiB DDR4
- Storage: Comes with one NVMe SSD 1TB

From my little cpu knowledege this one is superior in almost all ways, so it feels like an easy choice to swith out the old one. This leads me to my question. I need an enclosing for my 5 HDDs that connects to this minipc. What are your suggestions?

Instance policy update: Votes are in and Xitter links are now banned on this instance


Ahoy mateys!

We are closing the voting on this topic a couple of days early as the result is already conclusive., Our threshold for passing the motion was for 2/3 of voting members in favor. We have far exceeded that threshold (see below) and have a good number of overall responses, so the proposed policy change has now been approved and takes effect immediately.

Our new policy on Xitter links


  1. No Xitter links are to be posted on this instance from the date of this announcement.
  2. Workarounds such as link shorteners and alternative front-ends that resolve to Xitter posts are also banned.
  3. Screenshots will still be permitted as per the overwhelming number of comments in support of this option.
  4. Exception: In rare cases there may be a need to verify the veracity of a Xitter post. If this need arises, then you may post a xcancel.com/ version of the link. Please note this option should only be used sparingly and exclusively for fact-checking purposes.

We will begin communicating this instance policy change to all our users today.

Please try to be helpful to anyone who accidentally posts a Xitter link who may not yet be aware of the policy change, and/or feel free to report in the usual way.

N.B.: For the loopholers - by "Xitter links" we mean any links to content hosted on X (formerly Twitter). Alternative Xitter front-ends are also banned under this policy, unless exception #4 applies. Edit: The ban also applies to other Xitter-owned domains such as their photo blobstore (pbs) domain at pbd.twimg.com

Thanks to everyone involved for participating in the vote!


**The final tally is as follows: **

  • For: Salty Dog: An icon of two crossed cutlasses with a skull in the center in orange-red, black and white colors (2), Vouched: a minimalist compass icon. Orangered color (7), Deck Hand: An icon of anchor crossed with two staves in orange-red, black and white colors (5), First Mate: a pirate ship's steering wheel, orangered color (3), Powder Monkey: An icon of powder barrel in orange-red, black and white colors (2), Threadiverse Enjoyer: An icon of a doubloon with a black hole in the center in orange-red, black and white colors (1)
  • Against:
  • Local Community: +2.6
  • Outsider sentiment: Very Positive
  • Total: +22.6
  • Percentage: 100.00%

To break this down a little differently:

  • Home instance users voted 93% in favor of the proposal (284/307)
  • External instance users voted 97% in favor of the proposal (70/72 note: these are not counted, but good to know)
  • Donating and vouched for users voted 100% in favor of the proposal (20/20 votes).

Community vote on banning X/Twitter links aka "Twitter in the shitter?"


Ahoy me hearties!

We were thinking this might be a good test run topic for instance voting in our !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com community. Please be patient with us if anything breaks or isn't working properly. Feedback is welcome.

The voting topic


Given the current political backdrop and recent video of Elon Musk performing clearly identifiable Nazi salutes at the Presidential inauguration, some communities have started banning all links to X/Twitter. A couple of examples I noticed yesterday:

The vote is on whether our instance should follow suit and implement an instance-wide ban on X/Twitter links in posts and comments.

I've noticed some people suggesting allowing screenshots to still be used (e.g. for memes). Feel free to drop a comment if you have an opinion on that.

How to vote


Simply upvote or downvote this post. The /0 Bot will automatically calculate and update a tally of votes every 15 mins or so according to the voting rules (so don’t expect instant updates). An upvote is counted in favour of the resolution. A downvote is counted as against the resolution.

Note regarding crossposting: please be aware that only votes on the original post in !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com will be counted.

When to vote


Voting starts as of now. We'll close voting once the flow of votes stops - not sure exactly when that will be yet, but I'd like to keep the topic open for at least 2 or 3 days (maybe a week?) to give everyone a chance to vote.

Who can vote


TLDR here is that anyone can vote, but your votes will be weighted differently depending if you are a financial supporter, local instance member or external instance member.

As discussed in the announcement post, the initial plan was that only stakeholders can vote and open threads. That now includes everyone who is supporting us with any monthly donation amount.

Voting rights have also been extended so that votes of other local instance members who otherwise have no voting rights will be accounted at a rate of 1/100 from a random sample of up to 1000 of their votes. This means that a vote can go up to max +/- 10 from local community votes and it’s a fractional count (i.e. +1.1, or -0.7) which should make the local community sentiment an excellent tiebreaker, without overwhelming the people who are directly supporting the instance. Furthermore, I decided to display the “outsider sentiment” which is votes from non-valid-voting users from other instances. The outsider sentiment is only flavour (“Positive”, “Negative” etc) and is disregarded from the total. This is just shown for reference of the outsider sentiment which I think might be useful.

What constitutes a successful vote on a topic?


We are totally open to debate on this. I was thinking for this topic, a 2/3 majority vote would be a good target to aim for so we can be certain the community vote represents a clear majority of our users' opinions.

My thinking here is that if some topics are split close to 50/50 then achieving a 51% vote for example does not produce a clear mandate and may simply cause unnecessary division.

Having said that, I acknowledge a 2/3 majority is an arbitrary choice, but unless we implement a more complex voting system hopefully it is "good enough" to indicate a clear majority. As mentioned previously, feedback is very welcome and we will review and make adjustments where necessary.

Community participation


I strongly encourage all our instance members as well as subscribers from different instances to vote on this topic. If we only get a small handful of votes it's not going to be very representative of overall sentiment. This is a test run, so if things don't work out in terms of participation we will re-assess and perhaps revisit the topic.

Why Chatbot Development is a Game-Changer for Businesses

Le alternative "open source ed etiche" a TikTok, WhatsApp e Instagram potrebbero trasformare i social media


In un momento in cui le piattaforme di social media consolidate stanno affrontando critiche e turbolenze (dalla chiusura temporanea di TikTok al ritiro di Meta dal fact-checking, fino alle crescenti critiche sulla moderazione dei contenuti politici), un nuovo approccio ai social media sta guadagnando una certa attenzione.

"Aiutateci a restituire il controllo alle persone!" dichiara lo sviluppatore canadese Daniel Supernault, le cui piattaforme open source mirano a fornire alternative incentrate sulla privacy ai social media tradizionali.

La campagna Kickstarter di Supernault , lanciata il 24 gennaio, ha già superato il suo obiettivo iniziale di CA$50.000, secondo quanto riportato da TechCrunch , raccogliendo CA$93.022 (circa US$64.839) alle 11:02 PT di oggi. Il finanziamento sosterrà lo sviluppo di tre piattaforme all'interno di Fediverse, una rete decentralizzata di servizi di social media interconnessi. Queste piattaforme includono Pixelfed, Loops e Sup, progettate come alternative incentrate sulla privacy a Instagram, TikTok e WhatsApp, rispettivamente. Ogni piattaforma rifiuta i tradizionali finanziamenti di capitale di rischio e modelli di ricavi basati sulla pubblicità a favore dello sviluppo guidato dalla comunità.

Alternative a Instagram, TikTok e WhatsApp


Per quanto riguarda le app alternative in sé, Pixelfed è il più maturo dei progetti di Supernault, che offre un'alternativa senza pubblicità a Instagram, che ha lanciato le sue app mobili il 14 gennaio . La piattaforma fornisce le tradizionali funzionalità di condivisione di foto come filtri e album, mantenendo al contempo una rigorosa politica di non tracciamento e di non vendita di dati. La sua istanza principale, Pixelfed.social, ha accumulato più di 200.000 utenti e ha raggiunto il 6° posto nella categoria social media nell'App Store di Apple, diventando il secondo server più grande nel Fediverse dietro Mastodon.social, secondo le statistiche di rete di FediDB .

May? Chinese greenwashing articles are coming out early this year.
in reply to Fizz

It actually could though. They've seen a fairly steep drop in consumption growth coupled with a massive ramp up in solar and other renewables. They install more renewable capacity every year than the rest of the world combined.

Say what you want about their lack of human rights but a command economy sure gets things done quickly; they at least recognize that energy self sufficiency is the only way to survive long term.

in reply to empireOfLove2

They increased their renewables by 10% percentage but they still increased their carbon emissions. They hace half the worlds coal plants and they still keep building more. They still remain the #1 pollutor accounting for 35%+ of emissions and they are the only major country that isn't reducing emissions growth.

While the rest of the developed world works on reducing emissions and increasing environmental regulation to combat cliamte change. China has used its almost 0 environmental regulation to out compete the rest of the world. Ignoring all calls for them to reduce emissions so they can sell the solution.

Doing this undermines climate efforts and we are already seeing nations give up on climate change. If China isn't reducing emissions it's completely pointless for anyone else to bother. Its over for the world there is no chance we reduce emissions in time to stop environmental collapse.



How good is /e/ privacy based LineageOS fork?


I'm looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn't find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don't think it should be that hard to figure out.
in reply to りん〜

I used it for a few years on Oneplus Nord, and a few days ago switched to pixel7 with LineageOS. First impressions are that e/os was much more usable out of the box.

I surely have worse experience with banking: Revolut and SmartID app just refuse to work due to rooted phone (worked well on e/os). Other bank app is somewhat more broken - on e/os it didnt fully load but at least showed notificatioms on each transaction, now doesnt and is useless.
Could be due to newer android version on LineageOS though, I didnt investigate that.

iOS should be number one when limiting hardware only made by Apple.

After all that fiery rhetoric they just instantly capitulate?
in reply to LibertyLizard

Initially, I thought that I needed to stock up on Colombian coffee before the prices skyrocketed. Now I feel like I need to stock up on non-Colombian coffee before something similar happens elsewhere.
in reply to LibertyLizard

Nope? They (Colombia) got exactly what they wanted as far as In understand. Trump caved, the flights will have to follow the conditions dictated by Colombia. It's telling that the press is selling this as a Trump win.
in reply to LibertyLizard

Use of civilian aircraft instead of military and better treatment of deportees.
in reply to LibertyLizard

Treat them like people, not cattle

They were sent in a military aircraft, in shackles. Colombia didn't let the military aircraft land. Now they've been sent on a commercial flight, which wasn't a problem for Colombia

in reply to itslilith

I guess I don’t fully understand the difference between military and civilian aircraft. But the next flights had them unshackled? That’s good.
in reply to concrete_baby

Bullshit. They've been accepting deportees for years. They objected to the treatment and military transport of deportees, and refused those. They each threatened tarriffs, and then Trump agreed to treat them like human beings and send them home on commercial flights, like has always been done.

Stop making it sound like Trump's strongman tactics are doing anything.





Aggiornamento su articolo Snapdrop


Stavo notando come sul sito ci sia un articolo su snapdrop e uno su come trasferire files tra due dispositivi .

Non conosco gli altri programmi e personalmente non li ho mai usati, ma dopo troppo tempo passato a litigarci, ho personalmente rimpiazzato snapdrop con la più aggiornata fork Pairdrop.

Nella pagina github lo sviluppatore annota anche tutti i miglioramenti rispetto a Snapdrop


Snapdrop

Indice dei contenuti

Snapdrop, caratteristiche principali

disponibile via browser
open source e software libero: si può gestire un server in autonomia
mandare file da un dispositivo all’altro senza appoggiare i file su server terzi
i dispositivi devono essere sulla stessa rete

Vi presentiamo oggi un progetto open source 1 semplicissimo da utilizzare e allo stesso tempo davvero molto utile. Parliamo di Snapdrop, il metodo più veloce e semplice per trasferire file all’interno della propria rete.

prova Snapdrop

Vi è mai capitato di dover trasferire un file, di qualunque tipo e peso, dal vostro computer al vostro smartphone e di non saper come fare? Magari siete andati alla ricerca di un cavo per attaccare il computer allo smartphone oppure avete tentato di mandarvi il file su cloud per poi riscaricarlo.

Forse alle volte avete anche pensato a utilizzare siti come WeTransfer (o una delle sue tante alternative).

Snapdrop, ottimo per mandare file nella stessa reteWebsite vector created by stories – www.freepik.com

La cosa più semplice che potete fare però è utilizzare il sito web di cui parliamo oggi. Grazie a Snapdrop infatti non dovrete installare alcuna applicazione né avere alcuna conoscenza tecnica.

Vi basterà collegarvi al sito e poi collegarvi allo stesso sito attraverso qualunque computer oppure con il vostro smartphone. Verranno visti automaticamente tutti i device collegati nella stessa rete in quel momento!

A ognuno verrà dato un nome casuale per l’identificazione. Questo serve per essere sicuri di mandare il file corretto alla persona giusta. Una volta che ne siete certi cliccate il nickname generato e selezionate il file che avete bisogno di mandare.

In pochissimi istanti vedrete comparire il file sul secondo device e potrete scaricarlo con estrema semplicità.

Tutto qui!

Semplice, veloce e sicuro

Come avete visto è davvero incredibilmente semplice utilizzarlo. Inoltre come vi abbiamo anticipato il progetto è totalmente open source 1 e gratuito. Vive di donazioni e se vi piace potete decidere di donare qualcosa al suo sviluppatore.

Il sito è anche totalmente privo di traccianti di qualunque tipo 2. Non c’è traccia di Google Analytics, di banner e nemmeno di link di affiliazione. Quindi complimenti all’autore anche per questa scelta etica che, come sapete, condividiamo molto!

Per chi ne ha le conoscenze è anche possibile installarlo su un proprio server per non utilizzare il sito web ufficiale ma crearne una propria istanza.

Se non vi funziona bene quello che vi stiamo proponendo noi, che è l’istanza principale, potete provare anche questa.

prova SnapdropAlternative a Snapdrop

Più avanti faremo un articolo dedicato a tutte le alternative ad AirDrop, intanto se non vi trovate bene con Snapdrop potete provare una delle alternative qui sotto oppure leggere il nostro articolo dedicato.

  • Blaze, interessante metodo per condividere i file con qualcuno. A differenza di Snapdrop non utilizza WebRTC (la stessa tecnologia utilizzata per le videochiamate via browser). È open source 3.
  • NitroShare, altra applicazione open source 4 per condividere file. Non funziona però online, dovete scaricare un’applicazione.
  • Instant.io, altro software open source 5 per condividere file. Questo utilizza la tecnologia WebTorrent è quindi molto utile se utilizzato su un browser che la sfrutta nativamente come Brave.
  • Blymp.io, anche questa è un’applicazione molto comoda e open source 6 da utilizzare per scambiarsi file. Utilizza, facoltativamente, anche WebRTC.
  • FilePizza, anche questo è un altro software open source 7 per scambiarsi file.

This is the evangelical Christian myth that is being pushed. Christians do this because they believe there is virtue in suffering.

That is why grandma must choke to death on her vomit while everybody watches and sobs instead of having a celebration of life party with loved ones and then comfortably drifting off to cardiac arrest in her sleep.

All instances that these Christians bring up in Canada where it appears that MAID is being pushed on someone who doesn’t need it turns out to be a nothing story. No one is seriously being sent to their death because they are poor or require expensive care. This is a fear that is being manufactured so that grandma can die painfully. In Christ name amen.

in reply to PerogiBoi

This is not what the documentary is about though?

It’s about countries refusing to help disabled people who want to live because they tell them to choose assisted dying.



Interventions used to reduce infectious aerosol concentrations in hospitals—a review, 2025, Brady et al


The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for improved infectious aerosol concentrations through interventions that reduce the transmission of airborne infections. The aims of this review were to map the existing literature on interventions used to improve infectious aerosol concentrations in hospitals and understand challenges in their implementation.

Methods


We reviewed peer-reviewed articles identified on three databases, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from inception to July 2024. 6417 articles were identified, 160 were reviewed and 18 were included.

Findings


Results on aerosol concentration were discussed in terms of three categories: (1) filtration and inactivation of aerosol particles; (2) effect of airflow and ventilation on aerosol concentrations; and (3) improvements or reduction in health conditions. The most common device or method that was outlined by researchers was high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters which were able to reduce aerosol concentrations under investigation across the included literature. Some articles were able to demonstrate the effectiveness of interventions in terms of improving health outcomes for patients.

Interpretation


The key finding is that infectious aerosol concentration improvement measures based on filtration, inactivation, improved air flow dynamics, and ventilation reduce the likelihood of nosocomial infections. However limitations of such approaches must be considered such as noise pollution and effects on ambient humidity. Whilst these efforts can contribute to improved air quality in hospitals, they should be considered with the other interacting factors such as microclimates, room dimensions and use of chemical products that effect air quality.

Funding


This study is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) (NIHR205439).

Copilot stops working on `gender` related subjects


Copilot purposely stops working on code that contains hardcoded banned words from Github, such as gender or sex. And if you prefix transactional data as trans_ Copilot will refuse to help you. 😑
in reply to AlreadyDefederated

So you're telling me that I should just add the word trans to my code a shit ton to opt my code out of AI training?
in reply to MoogleMaestro

It will likely still be used for training, but it will spit it back censored
in reply to AlreadyDefederated

I think it's less of a problem with gendered nouns and much more of a problem with personal pronouns.

Inanimate objects rarely change their gender identity, so those translations should be more or less fine.

However for instance translating Finnish to English, you have to translate second person gender-neutral pronouns as he/she, so when translating, you have to make an assumption, or translate is as the clunky both versions "masculine/feminine" with a slash which sort of breaks the flow of the text.



University pirated content?


I want to study Oxford's "English Language and Literature" without going in debt for it. So far I've found a couple of [PDFs](https://privatebin.net/?2df9d138be6d850e#GA4VcKDesxy8CCUL9DDwiXqroKSPP76fvX16DLm6zKQy](https://privatebin.net/?2df9d138be6d850e#GA4VcKDesxy8CCUL9DDwiXqroKSPP76fvX16DLm6zKQy) which provide quite a reading list and the course's structure, but it's no course content. I'm really curious if there's a place for what I'm looking for.

State of Voyager for Lemmy, 2025 edition


Hi everyone!

2025 is here, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Voyager for Lemmy.

  • What features would you like to see added to Voyager in 2025?
  • Are there any bugs or issues that are bothering you?

💜

in reply to aeharding

Apart from the known iOS issue requiring the occasional app restart, no bugs and loving the app. Only feature i’d like to see is a display of the instance in the post list. So not just ‘news’, but ‘news@lemmy.world’. Some community names exist on different instances (which I think is not helping new users, but it’s a lemmy problem, not a voyager one)

My best shot at a stock photo for the #Fediverse, showing its most popular projects.

Please show some mercy, I am not a hand model (obvi) and my masking skills are a little rusty.

If some photographers would like to improve it, I could share my original photo and screenshot.

Hilariously, when I opened the tripod my bracelet got stuck in it and I semi-panicked for a few moments because I was home alone... with a tripod stuck to my wrist. Thankfully I managed to free myself 😂

She has been a good evangelist for the fediverse, IMO, based on my reading of her posts on Mastodon the last couple months.
