What would you like to change about Lemmy culture?
  • We usually do our own ama's, but thx.

  • 'It is time for this war to end,' Harris tells Netanyahu; 'I will not be silent' on Palestinian suffering
  • Do you agree with her condemnation of hamas, and support for netanyahu?

  • Kamala Harris issues statement on the anti-genocide protesters in Washington DC.
  • What's being opposed is not Judaism, but Zionism; and a not insignificant number of Jews are staunch anti-Zionists that oppose this genocide.

    Also Kamala Harris' (or any political figure's) husband's religion is irrelevant, what matters is her zionist policies, and her staunch decades-long support for AIPAC.

  • NewPipe v0.27.2 released (YouTube hotfix)
  • It's inevitable that youtube will go the way of twitter and reddit, closing down their API. I'm surprised it's taking them this long to start the process.

  • What would you like to change about Lemmy culture?
  • No probs, thanks!

    I think that's just the historical page on the Haitian revolutionary leader.

  • The Largest green battery in the world: China's Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station.
  • For sure... I need to learn more about how new portable battery tech too is developing, ie the ones to replace lithium ion.

  • Kamala Harris issues statement on the anti-genocide protesters in Washington DC.
  • The country that also is still trying to eliminate its indigenous peoples has no "ideals" to live up to.

    I highly recommend reading Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - an indigenous people's history of the US.

  • Kamala Harris polls 20 points ahead of Trump in voters age 18-34
  • My concern is for the Palestinians being driven from their homes and murdered by Israel and the US.

  • Kamala Harris polls 20 points ahead of Trump in voters age 18-34
  • I wonder if these numbers will at all be affected by her support for Israel and its genocide of Palestinians.

  • Kamala Harris confirms unwavering support to the state of Israel.
  • You wanna revise this at all? Took literally 2 days for you to be proven wrong, even after we gave you evidence of years of her support for Israel.

  • Protesters rally in Washington, DC before Netanyahu speech
  • The US would never arrest him of course. The ICJ did issue a ruling a few days ago promising legal consequences, and Netanyahu's plane apparently explicitly avoided landing in Europe on his way to the US congress, for fear of being arrested there.

  • What would you like to change about Lemmy culture?
  • Very true, all the more reason why we shouldn't allow one country in the americas to lay claim to the term.

    The US doesn't even have most of the most populous cities in the americas

    JULY 25, 2024

    Statement by Vice President Kamala Harris

    Yesterday, at Union Station in Washington, D.C. we saw despicable acts by unpatriotic protestors and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric.

    I condemn any individuals associating with the brutal terrorist organization Hamas, which has vowed to annihilate the State of Israel and kill Jews. Pro-Hamas graffiti and rhetoric is abhorrent and we must not tolerate it in our nation.

    I condemn the burning of the American flag. That flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America. It should never be desecrated in that way.

    I support the right to peacefully protest, but let’s be clear: Antisemitism, hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.

  • That's fair. Other servers (especially big ones) are doing a lot of moderation as well, but it probably seems less visible (or attracts less attention), because it's more aligned to reddit's political biases.

  • While the US Congress gave Netanyahu a standing ovation, an Israeli demonstrator in Tel Aviv/Tal-Habbib denounced US complicity in the genocide in Gaza.
  • Apparently according to recent polls, over 70% of the US population wants a cease-fire in gaza. Considering less than a handful of congress-members agreed with them, that makes 99% of the US congress opposing the will of the people. Very democratic country, yes.

  • What would you like to change about Lemmy culture?
  • Politically oriented moderation is why I think it’s a shame so many popular communities are on .ml

    If there's a server that doesn't moderate according to its own political and ethical standards, let me know. Not sure why ML is specifically singled-out here other than the fact that we have the opposite of redditor politics.

  • What would you like to change about Lemmy culture?
  • Its best to just think of them as separate to keep it clear. Sorting affects all posts (federated or not) in the same way.

  • Rank-My-Favs - An open-source Android app to help rank your favorite things.
  • Another thing you can do now (probably even better than clearing stats), is go to that item, and force-train it a bunch more. The rating algorithm in use is the same one they use for chess matches, so it can handle a "loss" or a "misclick" by doing more matches eventually beating the old one.

  • What would you like to change about Lemmy culture?
  • Reddit's mod interface isn't an easy one to use, so they'd probably have an easier time over here. If they can click an upload image button, and copy paste, they should be okay.

  • The Largest green battery in the world: China's Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station.

    Rank-My-Favs - An open-source Android app to help rank your favorite things.

    GitHub - dessalines/rank-my-favs: An Android app to rank your favorite things, using simple pair-wise matchups.

    Do you keep lists of your favorite things, such as movies, books, recipes, or music albums? You might keep list(s) that looks like this:

    • Network (1976)
    • Lone Star (1996)
    • Devils (1971)
    • The Seventh Seal (1957)
    • ... Many more films

    But how do you rank these?

    You might be tempted to order them by preference, but this could quickly get overwhelming for long lists.

    A much easier method is to use pairwise comparisons, which shows you single head-to-head pairs, and has you choose which one you like best.

    After doing a small number of these matchups, Rank-My-Favs can confidently create a ranked list for you.

    Under the hood, Rank-My-Favs uses the advanced Glicko rating system, to determine how many matches are necessary, and for ranking.

This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

    Changes

    This is a smaller bugfix release, with the following changes:

    Lemmy

    Lemmy-UI

    Full Changelog

    Upgrade instructions

    Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker.

    If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

    Thanks to everyone

    We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute.
