Yep, sorry, we have piefed.social/f/3dprinting and that clashes with it for deeply technical reasons.

There is a solution but it is not straightforward and involves changes to the way PieFed federates. It's high on the agenda, though.

Australian Under 16 media ban is censorship by stealth and data harvesting by law


The comments around the under 16 media ban seem to be missing a salient point.

In order to determine if a user is under 16, you need to determine that for every single user .. including you!

This means that your personal data will be harvested in order to determine if you are over 16 or not.

Ummm, they already harvest your personal data to that extent. I guess some of the really paranoid might be caught in the wider net but honestly if you're that paranoid then you're probably not using social media directly anyway. The media too is bringing up this point in that it's a privacy concern but the internet is far less private than 99% of people think anyway, it's a data security concern but not a privacy concern.

Now, the recent age-checking for porn introduced by the e-Karen without any parliamentary or even media debate, that's something to be concerned about.

How could I order a package without my parents finding it?


Hey!

There's some things I am planning on ordering, and I'd like to get them delivered without my parents knowing.

The things in question are some 23w CFL bulbs, e27 sockets, PC fans and a power strip.
I was originally planning on just buying them in person, but literally no shops near me have them.

I can't actually find them anywhere but the american version of amazon -- my country's (Ireland) version of amazon doesn't have them.

I asked a few friends if I could send the things to their house, and get it through them, but all of them said no.

in reply to throwaway

If you’re in the US, you should get the number for your post office and ask about doing a parcel intercept. I believe you’ll need ID that puts you at the address like a license.

'Enough Words': Colombia's Petro Urges Armed UN Force to End Gaza Genocide | Common Dreams


cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/36637173

Brett Wilkins
Sep 24, 2025
In his stirring final speech to a United Nations General Assembly, Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Tuesday called for an international armed intervention to end Israel’s nearly two-year genocide in Gaza.

“We need a powerful army of the countries that do not accept genocide,” Petro, who is in his last year in office and is limited under Colombian law to a single presidential term, told world leaders gathered in New York. “That is why I invite nations of the world and their peoples more than anything, as an integral part of humanity, to bring together weapons and armies.”

“We must liberate Palestine,” he asserted. “I invite the armies of Asia, the great Slavic people who defeated Hitler with great heroism, and the Latin American armies of Bolívar.”

“We’ve had enough words; it’s time for Bolívar’s sword of liberty or death,” Petro argued, referring to the 19th century Latin American independence hero Simón Bolívar.

Judge finds misconduct by Trump's DOJ in Luigi Mangione case


Donald Trump's Justice Department is under fire by a federal judge after uncovering "multiple employees ... may have violated" local rules guaranteeing a right to a fair trial for so-called "healthcare shooter" Luigi Mangione.

U.S. District Court Judge Margaret Garnett wrote on Wednesday that Mangione documented several incidents in which members of the Southern District of New York made public statements that are in violation of Criminal Rule 23.1.

The judge shredded the DOJ, saying that she issued an order on "April 25, 2025, specifically identifying the strictures of this rule for counsel and directing the prosecution team to ensure that the highest levels of the Department of Justice, up to and including Attorney General Bondi, were aware of and understood they were bound by this Rule."




Stephen Miller’s Hypocrisy Is Right There in His Speech


cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/46700344

Link without paywall:
aol.com/news/stephen-miller-hy…

Yesterday, Stephen Miller delivered a eulogy for Charlie Kirk that served as a battle cry for the Trump administration’s state-sponsored war on his perceived foes—a war for which Miller is the primary strategist. The speech was a jarring piece of rhetoric. It is a perfect encapsulation of the ethos of Trumpism, boiling away the president’s idiosyncratic habits of mixing insult comedy and weird digressions into his rhetoric and leaving, in Miller’s tongue, the residue of pure ideology and will to power.

Miller’s theme was that President Donald Trump’s side embodies pure good, his opponents pure evil, and the former is destined to utterly destroy the latter. Republicans have never stopped complaining that Hillary Clinton once described a portion of Trump’s base as “a basket of deplorables.” Yet over the weekend the president’s most powerful adviser depicted half the country as worthless, irredeemably wicked, and fated for destruction.



Sharing File


How are you sharing files between two party, with which system, app, site, etc.

I want to share some PDF with a friend but I’m becoming really tired of the old Google Drive. So any option is appreciated.

Also I’m finding myself always in the need to share a PDF or a file with an anonymous lemmy user if your option could work in this situation that will be great

in reply to TribblesBestFriend

Self hosted Project Send: projectsend.org/ in a Docker environment.
in reply to TribblesBestFriend

Personally I'm quite big fan of self-hosting, but if you want less a hassle, def try some of the other suggestions.

Since you're interested in anon file sharing, I'd really recommend you take some time to really think out just what your personal definition of anonymous is, and how well it fits in modern digital infrastructure. True anonymous activity is nearly impossible, you can be fingerprinted by even writing a file to a drive to hand to someone. Every action taken online has some trace to it, while IP is generally not precise information, with enough data overlap you can be reasonably guessed depending on how much effort someone is willing to put into it.

So you know, good luck finding a balance lol.

Questions after coming from Lemmy


Hi folks,

I was using Lemmy for the better part of two years and thought I'd come over to piefed and see what's up. A few things puzzled me and I'm hoping this is the best place to ask.

  1. It seems all top level comments are locked for replies - is that a server thing? A federation thing?
  2. Scrolling through All, the content just... stops. I'm using the Boost client (maybe that's why?). I get it if I'm sorting by top hour - there's only so much posted per hour. But it's the same for Hot, Scaled, Active, etc.

Edit: looks like both of these are issues with the Boost client. Switching to Summit on Android resolves both.

Thanks for the help!

Danish PM to apologise for forced contraception in Greenland


From the late 1960s until 1992, Danish authorities forced around 4,500 Inuit women, around half of all those of child-bearing age, to wear a contraceptive coil — or intrauterine device (IUD) — without their consent.

universitaria rompenza, mo che ogni cosa riparte e son rogne!


È ormai, al di là di tutto, tornato per me il periodo dell’anno in cui devo professionalmente mettermi a mannaggiare, perché inevitabilmente l’università spaccata è ricominciata. E stavolta in realtà non ho proprio parole, perché non so se essere contenta del fatto che le cose non si prospettano troppo indecenti… o se disperarmi del fatto che pure stavolta questi non potevano fare a meno di creare aspetti rognosi; sull’orario, principalmente, eccallà. 🤖

Mamma mia, questo è così pezzotto… ma vado con ordine. Innanzitutto, nessun giorno di riposo per me, solo grandi rotture; un giorno faccio giornata quasi piena, e il resto è tutto spezzato, a volte metà giornata e a volte pure meno… ma, se questa disposizione fosse più ordinata, mi starebbe anche bene andare 5 giorni su 5; alla fine, al liceo ce ne andavo ben 6, quindi a confronto questo sarebbe gran lusso… chiaramente c’è altro. Ho per due giorni lezione all’orario più peggiore della storia, cioè le 13:30, proprio a rompimento di cazzo per fare in modo che io non possa pranzare decentemente, completo, a casina… e per inciso, pure se accettassi di convertirmi al milanesimo e pranzare alle 12, non potrei, perché a quell’ora massimo devo prendere il bus. E, in tali due giorni, ho cose solo a quell’orario… in altre parole, non solo tutto il rompimento dell’andare e del tornare è per appena una (1!) materia, ma poi c’è il classico buco merdoso per cui devo aspettare un’ora buona per l’autobus… aiuto! ☠️

Analizzando ulteriormente, poi, esce ancora del peggio, figuriamoci. Il lunedì devo andare lì la mattina presto, mentre martedì e mercoledì ho solo il pomeriggio (quello sputo di pomeriggio, come ho appena detto!), giovedì ho sia la mattina che il pomeriggio, e venerdì di nuovo solo la mattina… e in realtà, se da un lato questa disposizione pare proprio perfetta per spaccarmi il sonno, perché ho 2 giorni di margine nella settimana per abituarmi involontariamente ad andare a letto troppo tardi, e i successivi 2 in cui devo svegliarmi presto, per poi avere i 2 giorni del fine settimana in cui ripetere lo stesso errore, per poi dovermi di nuovo svegliare presto lunedì… pensandoci meglio, il weekend spaccatutto lo avrei comunque, quindi quasi quasi è meglio che io abbia 2 giorni in mezzo per dormire fino alle 11 e recuperare il sonno perduto prima e poi, OK. (Rara vittoria mascherata da rogna!) Però, intanto… giovedì pomeriggio ho lezione solo alle 15:30… quindi, l’unica volta in cui converrebbero le 13:30, non mi sono concesse, e viceversa. La fine!!! 😭

Come cose da fare, almeno, se i professori si riveleranno decenti (e questo chiaramente servirà tempo per saperlo), credo non ci saranno gravi gravezze, perché stavolta le materie sono: ingegneria del software, che suppongo ci possa stare, programmazione distribuita, che è programmazione e quindi comunque non andrà al cesso, poi i seminari di accompagnamento al lavoro da seguire, e infine, come materia tra quelle a scelta, io ho preso mobile programming… che è Android, quindi si bestemmia e pure pesantemente, ma chiunque sa che preferisco di gran lunga bestemmiare appresso a Google, piuttosto che studiare algoritmi bizzarri con fondamenti di intelligenza artificiale, o cose ancora più astruse con machine learning, e questo per non parlare poi di fisica… 🤯

In realtà le prime due materie, obbligatorie per tutti, ancora non le ho avute… iniziano domani, e quindi solo domani avrò un’impressione iniziale vera (che è importante, perché a leggere solo i programmi la roba sembra sempre meno rognosa del dovuto), ma vabbé. Almeno oggi e ieri sono stati OK… se non per il fatto che oggi ho dimenticato di mettere il manga (di Sailor Moon) nello zaino, e quindi nel pullman al ritorno mi sono ritrovata a dover sprecare il tempo, anziché poter leggere, che due palle… (Quindi ho letto solo poi a casa, e dopo cena vedo di scrivere il post del capitolo… se non scoppio a causa del mal di pancia, credo psicosomatico, con annessa grossa diarrea, che mi è venuto proprio poco fa dal nulla. Si, questo post l’ho scritto proprio sul trono bianco, come la principessa che sono.) 🥱

Tobacco companies aid vape shops in push to repeal Denver flavored tobacco ban, outraising law’s backers


A campaign group seeking to overturn Denver’s ban on flavored tobacco sales in the November election has far outraised supporters of the prohibition, campaign finance records show.

The opponents of the ban, a coalition of Denver vape store owners organized as a group called “Citizen Power!,” raised $410,000 through the end of August, according to campaign finance reports filed this month. The campaign group supporting the ban, “Denver Kids vs. Big Tobacco,” raised about $245,000.

In December, the Denver City Council near-unanimously approved a ban on sales of most flavored tobacco and nicotine products after public health and children’s advocates argued the products could lure young people into a life of addiction.

The council approved the ban, which applies to any sales within city limits, despite heavy lobbying from tobacco companies and vape stores. Mayor Mike Johnston signed it.



The Fundraising-Industrial Complex Is Eating American Politics


In 2004, political campaigns spent 9 cents of every dollar raised on fundraising operations. By 2024, that number had reached 30 cents. American political campaigns are raising more and more money less and less efficiently. I’ve analyzed data from FEC disbursement records, using an algorithm I developed to classify expenditures by spending category. It reveals that campaigns are now spending 38 cents of every dollar raised just to raise more money—a fourfold increase from the 9 cents spent in 2004. In raw terms, campaigns burned through $3 billion on fundraising operations in 2024 alone.

This represents a fundamental shift in how political money flows through our democracy. Twenty years ago, fundraising operations were a necessary but modest expense, like renting office space or printing yard signs. Today, it has metastasized into the primary activity of most campaigns. In 2022, 31% of total expenditures were for fundraising expenses. This came close to exceeding the 33% of total expenditures going towards advertising. If current trends hold in 2026, it’s likely that fundraising costs will for the first time exceed what is spent on advertising, thus becoming the biggest spending category.





Youth Is No Substitute for Politics


A new crop of young Democratic Party challengers is running on generational politics alone, hoping to capitalize on voters’ hunger for change without running afoul of the centrist establishment’s political preferences.
