"Long post = AI slop"

You uh...you gonna grow a brain at some point, or what? We're all waiting.

...what? Why would it be horrible? Been using it for years, it's perfectly fine. And contrary to what this post says, Stremio does seed torrents back.

Dunno if other people have a faster way of finding out about potential data breaches, but for me, the original Bleeping Computer article about this showed up on my newsfeed and that's how I found out about it, followed a few hours later by other sites parroting the same news while quoting the BC article. It wasn't till I saw this post that I learned this breach is a fake, though. So, I'd say just keep an eye on your newsfeed and if you see something there, check any tech news communities and other relevant social media communities that you're a part of for the same news and for further details.

Edit: There's also sites like Have I Been Pwned where you can put in your email and get information on every known data breach involving your email address. The site can also notify you about any new data breaches where your email showed up in the affected data.

I assume it's as simple as copying your profile from Firefox's profile folder (in Windows, this is in AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) into LibreWolf's equivalent profile folder, then open about:profiles in LibreWolf and switch to the imported profile. I haven't tested this (still haven't decided on switching just yet), but I'd be surprised if it didn't work.

Yeah, I was hoping user level instance blocking would also block users from the instance. Hopefully the functionality will be added in later.

Lol as if a tiny visual toggle to remove a UI element from appearing in a single screen is so time and labor intensive that it's going to make it completely impossible for the developer to work on "more pressing things". If it's such a hassle to add and has no benefit, why did every other lemmy app developer add it to their apps, without anyone even needing to ask for it in the first place for that matter?

Just because you don't see a benefit in it or refuse to doesn't mean it isn't a useful feature, otherwise it wouldn't be in any of the other apps at all. And this post is a "feature request" not a "feature demand", I didn't ask that the feature be given some kind of special attention, just put it out there that it would be useful to have. If you don't like that, move on. The post wasn't addressed to you, it was addressed to the developer, so you speaking on his behalf on what he may or may not consider a useful or time-intensive feature to add doesn't really have any value to me.

Conversely, I don’t see any downside to it. If it's added and you don't like it, then just don't use the setting. It doesn't affect you. Other lemmy apps have this setting and anyone who wants to use it uses it. No real reason for it not to be added.

I prefer not to see karma scores, not on my profile or any other. Karma ruined reddit for me with the karma rat race that caused so many low effort posts and comments. And no, I'm not going to just never go to user profiles on account of this. If profiles weren't meant to be accessible, then they wouldn't be publicly visible at all.

 

A setting to hide the total karma count on user profiles (including your own) would be nice to have. I don't really care to see that stuff myself, and karma doesn't even mean anything on Lemmy either way. Thanks.

To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don't look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it's just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett's manual search.

 

I've deleted one of my comments, but I'm still getting replies on it, indicating that it's still visible to others and not appearing as "deleted" as it should be appearing. I logged in with my alt account on a different instance and verified that the comment was still visible despite the fact that it was supposed to be deleted.

Is there something I can do about this or is this just some kind of wonky federation related issue? The comment was posted on a different instance than my home instance, if that matters at all. Could that be why it won't delete and still seems to be visible?

 

So far, it seems that out of all the various Lemmy apps, Jerboa is the only one that actually shows downvote counts. All the other apps have it removed or abstracted into a percentage the way reddit handled it. It's very annoying. Will Sync have an option to see downvote counts for comments and posts?

 

Does there exist a script that can automatically set comments to be sorted by top, or any setting other than hot? Getting a bit annoying to have to set comments to be sorted by top for every post every time. I opened an issue about it on the github, but got no response. I assume it's considered low priority right about now.

 

I've been reading up on this FediPact stuff, and I'm curious: will the Divisions by zero instance be defederating Meta when they launch their new app that's supposed to be Fediverse compatible? I checked the Anti-Meta FediPact list, but couldn't find @db0 listed on there. I did read on a different post that the creator of the FediPact list has been blocking some people from signing it for whatever reason, so I'm not sure if that's what happened here.

As in, how do you mention someone in a comment, so they get a notification that they've been mentioned somewhere? Is it even possible yet? I've tried writing @ following by the username (not screen name, though I tried that too) but it didn't work. Problem is, I've seen people do this in comments before, just can't figure out how.

Edit: Solved.

@zach Just curious, is there a chance that this name was inspired by the rocket reaction emoji posted on your first release, 0.9.4? Because if so, I'm the one who posted that emoji! Sorry if this post comes across as weird, I'm honestly just curious. I'm probably just overthinking a coincidence. Anyway, great app!

 

Not sure how much longer it'll be open though
