I love how many african nations share a distinctive style in their flags. You often see the flag of a country you’re not familiar with and you can tell it’s from Africa. I wonder why that is, on the one hand it’s natural that nearby countries would share a lot of symbology, but this effect doesn’t strike me as so pronounced in other regions of the world, except the nordics, and maybe parts of the caribbean. Probably my biases showing though.
Eble ĝi estas polemika por iuj (mdr), sed mi ankaŭ aldonus la manĝaĵon al la kialoj. Mi nur vizitis dufoje, sed jam mankas al mi facile alirebla saté, kapsalon, bitterballen, stroopwaffle ktp. Eĉ Chocolonely mi enportis pogrande en la valizo, revenante de la dua vojaĝo. :)
I think for a while leading up to the recent session stealing hack, there has been a massive amount of positivity from Lemmy users around all kinds of new Lemmy apps, frontends, and tools that have been popping up lately....
Voyager (formerly wefwef) is a self-hostable web app, so it doesn’t have this problem. Of course this only means you can inspect the code you’re running. You still have to able to understand the code to be sure it’s not doing anything malicious.
Its less dumb than entering it into a regular app compiled into an apk, which is more opaque (even if it’s also FOSS). Voyager you can host it yourself.
A random deployment is certainly risky, but no riskier than a random apk. I’d argue the random deployment is less risky because it’s easier to inspect it in the browser and see what it’s doing with your password. But of course both are to avoid. Self-hosting or compiling your own clients if you can, official deployments or releases otherwise.
As the title suggests, trying to find anything in someone else’s kitchen is almost always a frustrating experience. Everyone seems to have a different idea about where to put things.
Ngl, you had me in the opening paragraphs. :) Happy to hear you’re not opening the door to this trojan horse. Thank you for keeping such a nice instance!
Hi, I hope this is the right place. I have successfully subscribed to some remote communities, but now whenever I view a remote community there’s no “Subscribe” button I can click but instead just plain text saying “Subscribe”, like the button is disabled or something....
It’s a bug in Lemmy 0.18.0. You can get around it by clicking the green link with the community name in the sidebar, then the subscribe button will become normal and clickable again.
In the past, I have been watching many mysterious movies because they are exciting. But life sometimes is hard enough, why should I then at home watch movies or series which are realy brutal. I feel like movies/series always need more crazy shit to be still popular....
So i have a low end rufurbished office pc with windows 10, 8 gb of ram, 64 bit, a descent amount of storage (not really though) and an nividia 1030 grahics card but its pretty oudated and most pcs are way too pricey today....
I've been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
I clearly remember when I first got broadband installed, yes faster downloads were nice and all, but what I really cared about at that point was that sweet release from the tiranny of the freaking phone line. Not ever having to worry again about people wanting you to disconnect because they want to use the phone. Connected 24/7, baby! What a revolution, lol
I'm looking to register a new domain but hate how pricing is $0.01 first year, $1M renewal. It doesn't seem like a deal if it's going to cost so much to renew....

On this day, July 12 1975, São Tomé and Príncipe acquired its independence and adopted its current flag. There were other proposals though. Here are some of them. (lemmy.world)

With the recent hack, there is now irrefutable proof of malicious actors trying to break Lemmy and steal user accounts. Please be careful about entering your password into random Lemmy apps!

What's the Sopuli stance on threads?
I know that’s the talk of the minute and the rest of Lemmy is bombarded with arguments about whether to defederate from threads or not....
"Subscribe" button looks like plain text and is unclickable?

Anyone else keep accidentally clicking on peoples usernames from the frontpage when you just want to open the post?
Seems to be placed exactly where my finger wants to land when I'm not paying attention. I think it should be removed/moved to the full post view....
