Are Lemmy-style ":::" tags for spoilers in the community sidebar text for the Piedfed WebUI.
In Lemmy, you hide text blocks behind a spolier ":::" tag:
Go to: lemmy.world/c/hardware, and you'll get the following via the (default?) Lemmy webUI:
If you go to piefed.social/c/hardware@lemmy… (!hardware@lemmy.world) via the Piefed webUI you get the following view in the same siderbar:
If possible, it would be helpful to have the spoiler tag work in Piefed webUI as well.
Tbh its still weird to me after coming to Lemmy from reddit that they reinvented the wheel for comment formatting syntax.
From "> ! ! <" to :::
The lemmy-style spoiler syntax is a huge pain tbh, and very limiting in that for something to be a spoiler, it needs to be a separate paragraph. Adding || in-line spoilers || was one of my first contributions to piefed because I found it so annoying (that won't render as an in-line spoiler on lemmy).
The markdown-parsing library used by piefed supported using the same syntax as telegram/discord, with || spoiler here ||
, so that is what I used for the feature even though I prefer the reddit/stack overflow style spoiler syntax better.
We've hard support for those spoiler things for a long time but there was a bug with it because /c/hardware uses the ::: tag in unexpected ways.
It's fixed now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Gay Horoscope Compatibility: Can Taurus and Pisces Create Lasting Love, or Will Their Differences Tear Them Apart?
When Taurus and Pisces come together in a gay relationship, the chemistry between them can be undeniably magnetic, but their starkly contrasting traits can also lead to emotional turmoil. The question remains: Can these two zodiac signs truly create lasting love, or will their differences rip them apart? To answer this, we must dive into their emotional dynamics, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as how these play out in a relationship.
Gay Horoscope Compatibility: Can Taurus and Pisces Create Lasting Love, or Will Their Differences Tear Them Apart?
In this article, we will explore the compatibility of Taurus and Pisces, examine their challenges and potential for growth, and provide advice on how to build a lasting, loving relationship. Despite their differences, Taurus and Pisces share several traits that could make them a perfect match, but only if they are willing to work through the emotional hurdles that can arise.
Understanding Taurus and Pisces: Core Traits and Compatibility
Before diving into the dynamics of their relationship, it’s essential to understand the core personalities of Taurus and Pisces. While these signs are deeply connected to their emotions, they express and experience them in very different ways.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus, ruled by Venus, is an earth sign known for its love of comfort, stability, and material security. People born under this sign are practical, grounded, and focused on the tangible aspects of life. They are slow to trust, but once they do, they are incredibly loyal and steadfast in their relationships. However, Taurus can be very stubborn, resistant to change, and prone to ignoring their partner’s emotional needs when they feel threatened or insecure.
Key Traits of Taurus:
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces, ruled by Neptune, is a water sign known for its emotional depth, intuition, and dreaminess. Pisces is highly empathetic, compassionate, and idealistic, often seeking out a deeper, spiritual connection with others. However, their emotional sensitivity can lead to a tendency to retreat when overwhelmed or misunderstood. Pisces values emotional intimacy and often communicates their love through gentle gestures, dreams, and the ability to deeply understand their partner’s feelings.

Challenges: Where Taurus and Pisces Struggle
While Taurus and Pisces can certainly complement each other in many ways, their differences often create obstacles in the relationship. Here’s a closer look at the key challenges they may face:
- Taurus’s Practicality vs. Pisces’ Dreaminess
Taurus is a practical, down-to-earth sign that values stability and material security. They are not the type to dive into abstract, theoretical conversations about the future—they prefer to focus on tangible, everyday concerns. On the other hand, Pisces is a highly imaginative and idealistic sign. They are often lost in their own dreams and fantasies and can sometimes struggle with the practical aspects of life. Taurus may feel frustrated by Pisces’ escapism, while Pisces might see Taurus as too rigid and unimaginative. - Taurus’s Stubbornness vs. Pisces’ Emotional Sensitivity
Taurus is known for being stubborn. When they make up their mind about something, it’s difficult to change it. This can cause tension in their relationship with Pisces, who is emotionally sensitive and requires emotional validation. Taurus’ tendency to be unyielding may hurt Pisces’ feelings, causing them to retreat emotionally. Pisces needs reassurance and emotional connection, but Taurus may struggle to offer the soft, empathetic approach that Pisces craves. - Taurus’s Need for Stability vs. Pisces’ Emotional Ups and Downs
Taurus seeks stability and consistency, and any threat to that stability can make them feel uncomfortable. Pisces, however, is a highly emotional sign, often riding waves of intense feelings and mood swings. While Taurus might be calm and grounded, Pisces can sometimes be overwhelmed by their emotions, creating tension in the relationship. Taurus may feel that Pisces is too unpredictable or unstable, while Pisces may feel that Taurus is too emotionally distant or indifferent to their emotional needs.

4. Taurus’s Materialism vs. Pisces’ Spirituality
Taurus is often focused on the material world, valuing wealth, comfort, and physical security. For Pisces, however, life is about deeper, spiritual experiences, and they may feel disconnected from Taurus’ focus on the material. This disparity in values can cause frustration and misunderstanding, as Pisces may view Taurus’ materialistic tendencies as shallow, while Taurus may view Pisces’ spiritual inclinations as impractical.
Strengths: What Taurus and Pisces Bring to the Table
Despite these challenges, Taurus and Pisces have a unique ability to complement each other. Here are some of the strengths of their relationship:
- Deep Emotional Connection
Both signs are capable of forming deep emotional bonds. While Taurus may be slow to open up, once they do, they are fiercely loyal and loving. Pisces is emotionally open and intuitive, able to connect with their partner on a level that few others can. Together, they can create an emotionally fulfilling relationship, provided Taurus learns to be more emotionally vulnerable, and Pisces becomes more grounded. - Shared Desire for Stability and Security
Both Taurus and Pisces crave stability, though in different ways. Taurus seeks security through tangible, material means, while Pisces seeks emotional security. If they can find a balance between these needs, they can create a stable, supportive environment for each other. - Mutual Compassion
Both signs are highly compassionate, though in different ways. Taurus shows their love through actions—protecting, providing, and supporting their partner. Pisces, on the other hand, shows their love through emotional understanding, empathy, and tenderness. This creates a nurturing, loving environment where both partners feel cared for and understood.
Gay Horoscope Compatibility: Can Taurus and Pisces Create Lasting Love, or Will Their Differences Tear Them Apart?
4. Emotional Growth and Healing
Pisces can help Taurus open up emotionally, allowing them to explore their vulnerabilities and grow emotionally. In return, Taurus can provide Pisces with a sense of security, stability, and grounding that helps Pisces navigate their emotional ups and downs.
How to Make Taurus and Pisces Work
To make a Taurus-Pisces relationship work, both partners will need to put in effort to understand and appreciate each other’s differences. Here are some key tips for success:
- Open and Honest Communication
Both signs need to communicate openly about their emotional needs. Taurus should try to be more receptive to Pisces’ feelings and provide emotional reassurance. Pisces should work on being more direct and clear about what they need emotionally, rather than expecting Taurus to read their mind. - Balance Practicality with Emotional Sensitivity
While Taurus needs to offer more emotional support, Pisces can benefit from becoming more grounded and practical in their approach to life. Balancing the practical and emotional aspects of their lives will help them create a stable, fulfilling relationship. - Respect Each Other’s Values
Taurus should understand that Pisces values emotional and spiritual connection, while Pisces should respect Taurus’s need for material security and stability. By respecting each other’s values, they can build a more harmonious relationship.

4. Be Patient and Flexible
Both signs will need to be patient with each other. Taurus will need to be more flexible in their approach to life, while Pisces will need to work on managing their emotional fluctuations and seeking more stability. With patience and flexibility, they can create a lasting and supportive relationship.
FAQ: Taurus and Pisces Compatibility
1. Are Taurus and Pisces a good match for a long-term relationship?

One of the holocaust denial arguments (thanks to Lemmy reposting of grok) is that there was no confirmed written order linking Hitler to it. He might have been just "passively" instigating/inflaming his cabinet/generals into a final solution conference. We still think he celebrated it.
The Grok solution is to genocide those who celebrate the tiny silver lining in diminishing the chances of (near) future genocides.

Unlike HTTP, for some reason it wasn't included in a new specification, though. My guess is that's because of the more centralized nature of cellular networks. The barrier for entry is a lot higher as well so there are few but big players who have little incentive to improve over the bare minimum.
IIRC encryption was initially proposed to be part of 5G but got shot down in the process.

At the risk of sounding like an AI-generated ad, I use an app called Privacy Cell on Fdroid, that confirmed there is no true 5G anywhere in my country. I just wish there was a way to differentiate between the two versions of 5G natively, kinda like 4G-LTE showing up as LTE instead of just 4G.

in reply to theshatterstone54 • • •Encrypted data channels can still be vulnerable to man in the middle attacks. Like when you connect to an unknown host with SSH, and the client pops up a big warning.
In this case, ICE or whomever sets up a "valid" cell tower that your phone connects to, and they (law enforcement) route your packets onto the rest of the Internet. They can decrypt the 5G data, and see all of the IP headers. They can't necessarily read the TLS traffic, such as https. But most important of all, they can log all of the IMEIs that connect, which effectively gives them a database of all of the protestors.

Also probably why they said they can downgrade you to 2G to intercept communication.
What's happening here is probably similar to anyone being able to send Wi-Fi deauthentification frame to your device to disconnect you. Unless you're using WPA3.

A law almost every country has on earth that the US used against the daughter of the owner of one of the largest companies in the world, for the flimsiest of reasons, in contrast to the walled-off-to-arrest-one-particular-teen-girl-axe-murderer-to-be-shipped-to-Taiwan-law Hong Kong tried to implement.

Because apart from the shocker that you were being surveilled, I think the protests needed a little bit less "Zero demands, not one more" chants and a little more 'We demand and protest until we win and get what we want' kind of thing.

in reply to mesa • • •What is unsafe about cell communication is that there is virtually no way to prevent being tracked. Bluetooth is not necessarily more secure but has several advantages:
1) Its Mac address can be easily changed. With a fake Mac address it's more difficult to track someone down, albeit it needs some "technical skills" (going in the developer settings)
2) With these apps communication is encrypted by default unlike cell tower communication
3) The range is limited. If police listens over Bluetooth they'll be able to track less people down
