Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.

    I’m not sure if there’s a solution here, but I’d like to urge people to avoid lemmy.ml hosted communities in favor of communities on more reasonable instances.

    It depends on what exactly do you consider the problem to be, but my understanding is that solutions to the more general problem of "what server a community is in" are already in the works (multicommunities and stuff).

    As for a more local kind of change... Be the change you want to see. Start up, and maintain, those alt communities that would serve as counterweights to the ones that are in .ml. Also, understand why they are in .ml in the first place yet still manage to function.

    For something to be illegal, the victim has to be able to press charges. And that doesn't change the fact that once they got their hands on the device they've got the info, a mandate of law doesn't make them "magically" forget the info.

    The one feature that I'd love to see IMO: make it so Lemmy doesn't require Javascript to work to even view the main page. Come on we are supposed to be recovering the good web times of the '90s, why do I need a react json vue left_pad framework to produce a list of items that can just be consistently delivered by a HTML <ul>?

    I wonder who was the idiot who made a persistent ID for identity reliant on a third party factor that can be trivially taken away.

    Any plans for solving it that are known?

    If they have physical access to the device, this won't help.

    They can simply produce a binary copy of the (still encrypted) information inside, via specialized hardware or backdoors via the CIA / Israel, then if you given them a duress code all they lose is either the original or the copy.

    There's a huge popup on this page that says adblock not detected and that I should install one to be safe.

    Which is ironic because I'm obviously running Firefox with uBO, and they probably blocked your attempt at detect an adblocker. But if what you want to do is detect that the user is not running an adblocker, you should be testing for the positive, not the negative: your popup should only load if the code was able to do the most obnoxious, advertising-like tasks without obstruction.

    IRC, or XMPP at worst, should be the gold standard to follow here. Those things can be installed on Pentium IVs that you can get from rural school trash yards, and still run reasonably well.

    I mean, that's the kind of ambiguity that makes exes hot, right?

    It really speaks of the bad design (in terms of conceptual design, not eg.: UI design) that for a platform that says to speak for people to have digital sovereignty and independence, that so many people say "just spin your own", it turns out that identity relies on trusting (and keeping trust on) third-party, nation-state level "name distribution" actors, who can easily take away that identity anchor be either by their own initiative or spurred by other nation-state level actors.

    Getting large numbers of people into space will be prohibitive for a long time.

    I'm content with getting the billionaires into space. Preferably on a Sun-oriented path. Since getting them into submarines so far hasn't catched on...

    RFC 9557: Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps with Additional Information
    datatracker.ietf.org

    RFC 3339, the "alternative" to ISO 8061, was extended to RFC 9957, which also allows adding interpretative tags. Sounds like unnecessary complexification to me. What is wrong if anything with "2024-04-26"?

    Hablando en serio. Todo el mundo habla de lo mal que está la educación, que los profesores, que los estudiantes y blah blah, y no estoy en desacuerdo que hay cosas ahí que están mal. Me podría mandar un ensayo en cómo no puede ser que una manga de pendejos de 12 vengan a amenazar a un profe en la sala. O que las salas en cuestión no deberían tener más de 20 alumnos. Pero igual hay temas de *método* y de *material* de fondo, como este. ¿Por qué no es más común en Chile enseñar las cosas de una manera más atractiva? O al menos, más inmersiva que "copie el texto aprobado 131 veces". O, no sé, cuando yo estaba en la media la manera que nos enseñaban castellano era penca (ni qué decir del inglés) pero pucha que aprendimos harto el un (1) (uno) semestre que nos hicieron escribir *y ejecutar* una obra de teatro.

    Hey everyone I was wondering how do you spice up your cursors, icons, themes, etc., In particular for desktop environments such as XFCE, Mate. Are there any good repositories to use? I've taken a look at a number of apparently cloned sites like "xfce-look.org", "kde-look.org", "gnome-look.org", but while they seem to show a wide offering of themes, it seems downloading from them is blocked via uBO since it reports a "fp2" fingerprinting script without which apparently downloads are not enabled. **Are those sites trustworthy?** They seem to be associated to a "OpenDesktop" initiative of which the only reputation I can find is that they were added to EasyList Privacy blocklist. If there are other alternative hubs or repos from which to theme a distro (as agnostically as posisble) that'd be welcome info. Cheers. Thanks. Et cetera.

    Standards shouldn't be behind a paywall

    publicado de forma cruzada desde: https://lemmy.world/post/9470764 > - ISO 8601 is paywalled > - RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.

    Anything of interest happen in 9-11?
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AD_9

    I've seen the Wikipedia article on year 9 doesn't mention anything of relevance happening during November. Closest thing seems to be September. Since people around have spent a few years making lots of ruckus about how the date with "9, 11" has some sort of importance as a date, I was wondering if I'm missing something here.

    What is the need of T in the new (2019) time format?

    Basically title. 2019 edition of the Standard denotes the "T" prefix to time as mandatory (except in "unambiguous contexts"): `01:29:59` is now actually `T01:29:59`, with the former form now designated as an alternative But date does not have a "D" prefix, not even in "ambiguous contexts". `1973-09-11` never needs to be something like eg.: `D1973-09-11` Anyone know the reasoning behind this change and what is the intended use? The only time-only format with separators that I can think would be undecidable in ambiguous contexts would be `hh:mm` which I guess could be mistaken for bible verses?

Hoy que se unen las coyunturas de los 50 años del golpe y la dictadura, el cambio climático, y los socavones de los edificios en Valpo, este artículo se ve particularmente relevante. Si no hubiera sido por el golpe, quién sabe, Long Chile AU o tal vez podríamos haber sido una potencia mundial de la sustentabilidad climática.
