Lemmy Development Update June 2025
This was a busy month, with ~80 pull requests merged, as we're trying to get all the breaking changes we can added before the 1.0 release.
The release is still several months away, as even after finishing up the rest of the 1.0 milestone issues, we still have to add this new functionality to Lemmy-UI and Jerboa, and do extensive testing.
Here are some of the major changes made over the past month:
- Added multi-communities (One of the most requested features).
- Added a new rate limiting library.
- Refactored the API structs and library for better usage in Rust projects.
- Improved the migration diff checker.
- Using an external library for checking invisible characters.
- Votes are now removed when banning + removing data.
- Added a GDPR style data export.
- Storing upvote / downvote totals you gave to each user, and a setting to display that history next to their name.
- Added ability to make a note for a user.
- Added an RSS feed for modlogs.
- Added an API action to get liked / disliked content.

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations. To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.

Native version of Unreal Tournament 2004
I recently switched to Nobara and I'm currently trying to get everything to work. I'll be a bit spammy here looking for help, I hope that's ok.
Today I would like to install my retail version of Unreal Tournament 2004 that came on a DVD.
I got the installer for the native Linux version to run and copied over the latest patch. But when I try to run the game i get./ut2004-bin-linux-amd64: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to install libstdc++ through dnf and got
Package "libstdc++-15.1.1-2.fc42.x86_64" is already installed.
Package "libstdc++-15.1.1-2.fc42.i686" is already installed.
In /root/lib I habe a libstdc++.so.6
Does ".so.5" mean I need version 5. How do I get the version Unreal Tournament 2004 wants?
Or would it be easier to use the Windows version through Wine?
edit: managed to get the native version to run: feddit.org/post/15075302/76663…
With the help of this forum post and a bit of persistence I managed to get it to work and I wanted to share how with future generations and/or my future self.
First Problem: libstdc++.so.5
dnf does not have libstdc++5 but apt does.
Solution: I installed Mint on a Virtual Machine ran sudo apt install libstdc++5
and then copied the library to my real machine into the system directory of UT2004. The game now starts. I know there must be a better way to solve this.
Second Problem: Game starts in a tiny window stuck in the top left corner
Alt+Enter switches it to a real window that makes the game useable, but setting a proper resolution and trying to make it fullscreen again crashes the game.
Solution: Open /home/user/.ut2004/System/UT2004.ini, go to the [SDLDrv.SDLClient] section and set all lines with viewport to the desired resolution.
Third Problem: No sound
UT2004 uses the obsolete OSS sound system.
Solution: Run the game under a compatibility wrapper. Debian and derivatives have aoss available. Fedora and derivatives have padsp. Thus run the game with padsp "./ut2004-bin-linux-amd64"
and the sound works.

Your iPhone model can be found or narrowed down from a simple screenshot
When you send a screenshot (even if height/width only is cropped) , the screenshot's width and height can be used to find the iPhone model of someone or narrowed down.
The most unique sized iPhone on the market right now is the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, as no other phone has the same width and height. So if you send a screenshot people will 100% know your exact phone. The regular iPhone 16 is common with the rest of the other phones and not unique.
If you send a screenshot from a iPhone XR, people can know if you using an iPhone 11 or iPhone XR since they have the same dimension which narrows down alot of options. (828x1792)
You can use this site here to view a list of all the dimensions. Click the iPhone's tab and sort the physical width or height.
If you don't want to expose your phone model, crop both width and height of each screenshot randomly. I would suggest cropping out the top of the phone as it shows your time if you care about that. Some sites like X have random inaccurate dimensions in uploaded screenshots, which is different from the original raw screenshot.
I haven't really checked with android phones, but it's probably the same thing.
A good example to "play" with could be coveryourtracks.eff.org/ which does highlight the idea of "bits of identifying information" namely :
"A “bit” is a basic unit of information for computers. The bit represents a logical state with one of two possible values, often represented as "1" or "0", for example. In your results from Cover Your Tracks, some metrics may be listed as “1” or “0”, or “true” or “false”, indicating whether a setting is enabled or disabled. While each individual metric’s details may seem like a small amount of information, when combined with your browser’s other metrics, they can uniquely identify your browser. Your results are measured in “bits of identifying information,” which is a combined summary of all these metrics."
Point being, not all behaviors, conscious or not, explicit or not, lead to the same amount of bits. Some are VERY valuable, others are basically pointless. Knowing the difference means not spending a lot of energy fighting without making a difference.

Democratic Party lawmakers are refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani and are spreading lies about him in the process
Despite winning an election in the most Jewish city in America, repeatedly speaking about the need to combat antisemitism during his campaign, and cross-endorsing Jewish candidate Brad Lander, pro-Israel politicians and pundits claim that Mamdani’s win makes Jewish New Yorkers feel unsafe because he has refused to condemn the phrase “Globalize the Intifada”, a slogan that encourages international support for the Palestinian cause.
Mamdani has never actually used the phrase himself.
Responding to a slew of inaccurate statements from an anti-Palestinian caller on The Brian Lehrer Show, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said that New York Jews were “alarmed” by Mamdani’s positions, “particularly references to global jihad.”
Lehrer pushed back on Gillibrand’s assertion, asking the Senator whether she had any proof that Mamdani supported violence. “Again Brian, I don’t have all the data and information, and I’ve never sat down with Mr. Mamdani,” she responded. “So I’ve asked to have that meeting.”
Rep. Laura Gillen (D-NY) baselessly claimed that Mamdani has called for violence against Jewish people in the past.
Current New York Mayor Eric Adams told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Mamdani was antisemitic because he praised Hamas. When Tapper questioned the claim, Adams told him that he would be able to find proof by doing a “little research.”

Israel Slaughters Dozens in Attack on Popular Gaza Cafe as Trump Claims a Ceasefire Deal is Moving Forward
GAZA CITY—The Israeli military bombarded Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Monday with airstrikes and artillery, killing at least 80 since dawn.
In northern Gaza, at least four schools that shelter hundreds of families were bombed, in addition to homes and other civilian areas. In Deir al-Balah, the al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital complex was also struck.
One of the worst attacks came when Israeli warplanes bombed al-Baqa, a seafront cafe, reportedly killing more than 30. Perched on the water and popular for its internet access, the cafe was frequented by families as well as journalists. Among those killed was Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Ismail Abu Hatab. Another journalist, Bayan Abu Sultan, was injured.
Maher Banat was an eyewitness who arrived on the scene soon after the strike. “I was nearby, and I heard the bombing. We thought maybe they hit a tent or something else. We were shocked to find a calamity, a massacre,” he told Drop Site. “This place, Baqa cafe, is known for entertainment only, it’s on the sea. People come and sit and talk….someone wants to come and relax. It’s not a place for any military operations or the resistance, as you can see. This was a criminal act.”
The outdoor cafe became a scene of carnage: all broken concrete and shredded wood, bodies strewn on the ground, plastic chairs torn apart, and blood soaked on the floor. A large crater in the ground in the cafe showed the missile impact. At al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, fresh corpses in body bags were lined up outside.

The following is an article about two of the writer's cousins that Israel murdered in the cafe:
War on Gaza: The world only saw my cousins' deaths. I want you to know their lives
I think it's important to not let these people become mere statistics. These oppressors are doing much more than merely killing people; they are snuffing out their present, robbing them of their futures, killing out their potential.
There are many brilliant and kind minds in Palestine that will never come to flourish because of the actions of the oppressors. Any possible advancement or contribution into this world--gone, ripped from this world, ripped from us. Every act of oppression made by these self-designated "peace-makers", is a desecration of the past, present, and future.

‘An absolute massacre’: Aftermath of Israeli attack on popular Gaza cafe
Video discussing some of the people that were killed. A photojournalist, female boxer, an old man, a few little girls (one of which was having a small birthday party where she was being gifted a teddy bear)--the usual targets.
I've heard this was done by an F16 missile strike. The Israeli pilot, the IDF, the Israeli government, the Israeli state-- they massacred 37 innocents in this terrorist attack, killing all but two that were in this cafe.

Curious about performance of nouveau on old laptops with discrete graphics
Got myself a Dell Latitude ~~E4310~~ E6410 and Thinkpad T510 for free, both with discrete Nvidia graphics soldered to the mainboard. I've installed Linux on them and just went with the nouveau driver since the proprietary Nvidia driver for such old cards is no longer in the Debian 12 repo. Not going to do anything cutting edge on them, but it does leave me wondering:
- I read that I could, with some effort, install the proprietary driver manually. Am I missing out on anything at all without them, or is nouveau mature enough and the graphics old enough that I wouldn't notice?
- Is nouveau with old discrete graphics better or worse than having just Intel's integrated graphics?
- Does power consumption vary significantly between nouveau and proprietary drivers?
EDIT
Answering myself after going down a rabbit hole with the T510:
- The dGPU is the NVS 3100M, which does have some level of hardware acceleration support under nouveau, so at least it isn't draining power for zero benefit. However, the dGPU is unable to go past its lowest power state without manually manipulating
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate
(I did not try to) and I suspect that this is what kneecaps 3D performance. There should be a marked difference, but I won't be doing any serious work on these machines, so I'm leaving everything as-is. - This situation is worse than having just integrated graphics due to the inherent power consumption of the GPU core while unable to benefit from higher power states and other optimizations.
- Power consumption is probably less, but for much worse performance. At least it is a much better fallback than leaving at maximum.
- A later variant has the BIOS option to disable the dGPU, mine is an early variant with no options
One thing to keep in mind about older versions of the nvidia proprietary drivers is that they will only work with specific kernel versions (and specific X versions—not sure about Wayland). Once the driver series your card needs stops being updated, you can't update your kernel without patching the driver. Assuming you have the skills to patch the driver, or someone who does makes their patches public.
I went through this song-and-dance with a very old laptop that had a card of the NV40 generation as its only GPU (no integrated graphics). Eventually I did install nouveau on it, and used it for several years without any issues.
nouveau.freedesktop.org/Featur…
nouveau.freedesktop.org/PowerM…
So you can see almost other things has been done but the power management especially Automatic Reclocking still unfinished. So the feature set and stability should be fine and the performance will be bad.

UN Report Exposes Torture of Russian POWs in Ukraine

The article does not specify which publication it refers to, but this is the only recently published report
ohchr.org/en/publications/annu…
During the year, a central priority of the HRMMU’s work was monitoring and reporting on the treatment of POWs. This led to conclusions that the Russian authorities inflicted torture in a widespread and systematic manner against almost all Ukrainian POWs and that many Russian POWs were subjected to torture or ill-treatment in the initial stages of their captivity. Findings and tailored recommendations fed into advocacy documents for high-level meetings with Member States, in June. In Ukraine, the HRMMU’s advocacy supported the launch of a criminal investigation by the Office of the Prosecutor General (OPG) regarding the use of torture at a transit facility for Russian POWs. The HRMMU is unaware if its reporting resulted in similar investigations in the Russian Federation. Its monitoring and advocacy also resulted in Ukrainian authorities improving the treatment and internment

It's great to know that they are working better now, last time I tried almost none was functionnal and it was quite a pain to install / uninstall / switch source (Firefox / Chrome version) in the hopes of it finally working.

in reply to Ardens • • •I have used FF based browsers for a long time and still do. I recently saw this from the GrapheneOS developers, which kinda freaks me out and has me considering switching to a Chromium based browser:

in reply to oaklandnative • • •Feel free to freak out. That doesn't worry me at all. I guess you prefer getting tracked and monetized over having a little weaker security in hypothetical problem areas...
You know, I've worked with, and helped people with issues on primarily Windows, but also Mac and Linux, since the 90s, and I can't remember one single time, where the problem were bases on this kind of vulnerability. So please, do live in a hypothetical world - I'll stick with what works and keeps me from being monetized.

in reply to Ardens • • •Same here. I prefer to avoid Chromium-based browsers whenever I can. A lot of them are better than Chrome, and I do like to mess with them from time to time to stay aware of features and test things. But Firefox on my phone has access to uBlock Origin and all my other extensions, after activating the hidden debug menu/dev mode that you turn on in a similar way as activating Dev Mode for the Android OS. I only mention that last part because it seems a lot of FF Android users don't know about it and allows for installing xpi files just like you can with desktop. Freaking game changing for me. It really sucks that the main-line Chromium-based browsers don't support extensions, even in the limited options way FF used to before allowing more to officially work (even without the debug menu/dev mode trick.
For those that might want the instructions for the hidden debug menu/dev mode. Some extensions still might not work correctly as they might not play nice with the UI/layout of the Android version. I would imagine that some of these might be things like the third-party tab-tree extensions for example.
Open Firefox App
Go to the settings menu.
Enable Developer Settings:
You need to tap on the Firefox logo five times. This action will unlock an additional debug menu.
Find “Install extension with a file” option in Settings
Look for the option to install an extension from your own storage. And pick the xpi file. Also will just work using the extensions page on the FF site.

in reply to oaklandnative • • •We should challenge some of those superlatives that projects such as GrapheneOS can coin from time to time. Those projects are not abstract master entities, they have people behind of it and they are not authorities in all subject matters. They are correct about Gecko browsers insecurities on Android however it may be questionable the use of the term "leagues ahead" in this comparative. I use GrapheneOS and Vanadium but I don't believe that using some Gecko hardened browser would be so terrible like it sound. Specially if you are not a focused target. For example, I keep Tor as a secondary browser for some specific tasks on my phone.
People could perhaps start helping more the Servo project. They really need some help and for those that program in Rust or want to learn it this could be a very good place to devote your attention.

in reply to Ardens • • •Funniest thing is, I read this after learning Chrome had a zero-day exploit, Brave might not even have the patch yet 😆
To be fair, on sites like privacytests.org Brave seems to pass more tests than default Firefox, but these tests don't take extensions into accounts. Extensions wouldn't add much to Brave since it's a chromium browser, but Firerox should have better results with ublock alone...and then there are forks and ways to harden Firefox on top of that.
And of course it's not taken into account how sus Brave is, if I remember right Brave search has already been caught spying on its users (and used word play to pretend it was open-source) and then there's also the crypto scam. Passing most of the security/privacy tests won't help if the browser is spying and exploiting you.

in reply to arsCynic • • •I am in this path too, but not for everyone. The Firefox (and variants) in Android is ok for normal browsing but would not log into highly sensitive sites nor is recommendable for many users that are not careful with settings and updates. Brave (and others privacy friendly ones), with its flaws, it is better in that arena, so recommended for them.
Also, we may not like it, but if we criticize company attempts to become financial viable, we are doing at disservice to our FOSS community. We should just point what you don't like from Brave and let our audiences decide for themselves.

You are basing your crypto opinions on mainstream trash info. Crypto requires deep research to actually understand and you will be using it within 10 years regardless of your current opinion.
Ardens
in reply to CashDragon • • •That was funny... If you want to debate this, then please stop exaggerating like "a million times more"...
Thank you for handing me another reason for people never to use crypto regularly. As you say, it requires deep research to understand... My current currency requires a basic understanding, that's it. And no, I'll not be using it - you are delusional, and need help. My guess is, that you have invested a lot of money in crypto, and now you feel stupid because it is lost - and you try to get others onboard to minimize your own losses... 😉

in reply to Ardens • • •The point is anytime a revolutionary technology comes around most people are scared because they have no clue. Just like when the internet came politicians were going nuts because they had no clue and were scared.
You have no clue how fiat currency works and will continue to have no clue about crypto until intelligent people figure out how even the clueless can use it. Then you will just use it because the alternative will be horrible.
I was telling people about Bitcoin back in 2011, it worked out pretty well. 😉

in reply to CashDragon • • •The government prints currency, it is a tool to it. Of course the slimeball politicians are just as dollar-sign obssessed as all of the "business community" for they have become one and the same as money has been allowed to be converted directly into political power.
But "money" should hold NO influence whatsoever a properly functioning government. Business should never be allowed to infiltrate it's putrid tentacles into governance because it will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS do the same thing, change the order of things to empower itself. If allowed it will suck the bone marrow right out of every newborn infant.
If you think crypto currency, which is the handing over of the money printers to unaccountable private powers and their never-ending shenanigans, is any kind of opportunity, then you have been fooled.
But let me tell you how, since you are obviously been turned into one of their proselytizers.
Like any addict, you have been allowed a little sip of unearned value from the speculative value. And now your entire moral system has been corrupted, like the employee of a multi-level marketing scam, into seeking more converts, to keep the marginal price pressure on "your precious" as high as possible.
Getting others to sink their life's savings into the crypto currency anti-social disease is for you a way to grow your value. But if you are here, doing the work of the rank-and-file, you should be aware of what happens to MLM victims when then are not at the top of the pyramid.
Increasing the bitcoin value, effectively hands over more and more unearned economic power to speculative early adopters. Who have invested into a technology with no merits and a contagious mental illness with the false promise of escaping the system.
There is no escape, there is not another Earth to escape to. The power of money under a private money regime, just means that it will care even less about you, as an individual than before, which is probably hard to even imagine.
The people most pushing behind crypto, are the naive libertarians, the one they think they can make their big money and escape to their bunkers with it scott free. They are the people that have been breaking society on purpose, creating crises so they can sell us the cure and be our saviours. They are the people who have infected the body-politic with their narcissistic nihilism, their hopeless, futureless nightmare of a life and have been allowed to fester in the name of freedom.
"Private governance cannot be any worse than current governance" This has been the prophecy they have worked all my life to come about. It is a religious belief that nothing can be done unless it is profitable and done for profit. This kind of diseased thinking will make a few people rich beyond measure while leaving the rest of humanity destitute and then outright dead.
So do keep spreading your "good news" far and wide if you like but know that what you are spreading is just the latest of the pestilences of the modern era. Palantir thanks you for your service.

in reply to interdimensionalmeme • • •#The Interdimensionalmeme Manifesto
An indictment of privatized power and the crypto-financial techno-cult
"There is no escape. There is not another Earth to escape to."
#I. On Governance and the Role of Money
A functioning society must distinguish between governance and capital — between the stewardship of the public and the motives of profit. When these become one and the same, democracy dies not with a bang, but in the language of venture capital decks and algorithmic markets.
Currency is not simply a medium of exchange; it is a public trust, the circulatory system of a body politic. To surrender its issuance and control to private, unaccountable interests — be they corporations, anonymous developers, or speculative early adopters — is to strip society of one of its last remaining instruments of collective sovereignty.
Crypto is not a revolution. It is a coup d'état in slow motion.
#II. The False Gospel of Decentralization
Decentralization is the sacred chant of the blockchain faithful — but what is decentralized is not necessarily democratized. To spread control across nodes and servers does not spread justice, responsibility, or empathy.
Cryptocurrency is not neutral. Its very structure rewards the earliest, richest, most computationally resourced — and calls this “fairness.” It buries inequality in the code itself, hiding plutocracy under the banner of “consensus.”
The crypto evangelist, addicted to speculative gains, becomes a missionary of self-interest. The chain-letter economics of this new digital order create converts not by vision, but by the promise of unearned value and imagined escape.
III. The Corporate-State Convergence
Yes, governments are compromised. They have been infiltrated by the dollar, bought by the lobbyist, colonized by the corporation. But the answer to corrupted governance is not to abolish governance — it is to reclaim it.
Crypto offers no resistance to this convergence. It accelerates it. It hands over power from flawed but at least nominally public institutions to venture-backed technocrats, data merchants, and ideological profiteers.
To abandon the state without building democratic alternatives is not liberation, it is abdication.
#IV. The MLM of the Modern Age
Like all pyramid schemes, the promise of crypto lies not in what it is, but in what it might become — if others believe, if others buy in, if others come after you.
The blockchain isn't a chain of freedom. It is a ledger of dreams sold and lives ruined, a speculative suicide pact dressed in libertarian robes. It is the digital cousin of the payday loan, the unregulated casino at the end of capitalism.
And yet the faithful continue to preach, because their salvation depends on your belief. The higher the adoption, the higher the price. The higher the price, the closer they are to an exit.
#V. There Is No Outside
The dream of "opting out", of escaping fiat, taxes, nations, systems, is not just naive, it is delusional. There is no “outside” to the world we have made. The consequences of economic systems ripple globally, shaping policy, resource extraction, and ecological collapse alike.
Those who seek exile in crypto-fortresses or digital bunkers are not building freedom. They are seceding from solidarity, retreating into nihilistic techno-feudalism.
There is no Earth 2.0. There is no safe haven from collapse when collapse is a planetary system failure.
#VI. The Call
We do not reject innovation. We reject the perversion of innovation into a religion of capital accumulation and anti-social escape.
We do not romanticize the state. We demand a democratized public, a radically transparent and accountable governance, shielded from the ever-expanding reach of the market.
We do not reject decentralization. We reject decentralized despotism, where opaque code replaces public law, and anonymous whales replace accountable representatives.
We do not fear the future. We fear a future owned, not governed, by the architects of financial abstraction and speculative cruelty.
We do not need new currencies. We need new values.
"The people who have infected the body-politic with their narcissistic nihilism, their hopeless, futureless nightmare of a life… have been allowed to fester in the name of freedom."
Let the festering end.
Let us build systems worthy of the future, not just profitable in the present.
Let us not be fooled again.
Signed,

in reply to interdimensionalmeme • • •This is delusional. The real solution is money that cannot be corrupted by some politician's or banker's decree.
Open source technology and cryptography gives us this ability. Now the playing field is leveled, ordinary people can hold and transact real value without some crook reaching into their pocket.
interdimensionalmeme
in reply to CashDragon • • •Money has no intrinsic value, it's a dynamic relation between all other humans who would accept it.
Even a gold bar will vary in what it can really buy based on the health of the society around you.
And that's just transaction, which is not where wealth is. Land and physical property, and the ability to leverage their use is the mediator of wealth.
The people without, will never ever be on a level playing field. How can you be born owing your life to infinite rent and interest and think you're on a level playing field ?
You reach for this utopia, thinking this time you'll be the one collecting ? This time you can be the landlord without having to pay taxes.
But at the end of the day, if the people around you are miserable, are you better off ?
And all of that is assuming it even would work as advertised, which it won't, nobody is waiting 10 minute to clear a payment.
This technology is a scam sold by the people trying to shit-up everything so that they can get their best pick out of the rubble.

in reply to interdimensionalmeme • • •Money is a tool to store energy and use it at a desired time. Fiat is a banker scam which steals from everyone and funnels profits to the elites. The reason for so meany people's misery is the current system, it is designed to siphon everyone's productivity without anyone noticing. Only highly intelligent and aware people can see this scam. Most think this system is designed to help them when the opposite is true and all objective metrics show it.
You have no understanding of the technology. Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin and it has instant secure transactions there is no need to wait for any clearing.
I was telling people about Bitcoin back in 2011 and most of them laughed, now I am telling people about Bitcoin Cash and some still laugh, but they will not be laughing for long.
Now you have some knowledge which 99.99% of the population will be wishing they were informed about in 5 years from now. If you have a half a gram of humility you will do some research into Bitcoin Cash and then load up on some. 😉
