  • UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones

    Jump

  • It's not about nudity. It's about control. The government wants full control over your computer and mobile phones.

  • What a joke world we are living in. UK is getting too crazy with their "protection children" and introducing age limits by people providing their password and IDs. And chat control. And now this again, blocking these pictures would require massive privacy issues and closed source operating systems that will lock the user down like North Korea.

  • How far will it go this time?

  • Fediverse Enhancement Proposals

    Jump

  • For example we have ap issues with lemmy, lemmy doesn't support multiple attachments. We use attachments for both links (url, other than image links) as well as images themselves can be an attachment.

    But again AP fails, and lemmy only shows the picture.

  • I fully agree. And you nailed it. This was exactly what I try to explain what is wrong with ActivityPub FEPs.

    Thank you, we do indeed publish those schemas, these are coming from the code. So our documentation build is also relying on our code to expose these schemas, and that's also why I can guarantee it's always up to date.

  • Hi Melroy from Mbin. It's true what you are saying Julian. These FEPs forms the basic of the fediverse. But at the same time I hate those FEPs alot. I would rather see a more detailed and better described ActivityPub protocol v2.0 or 3.0. My point is that the current ActivityPub is way too vague.

    And we need dozens of various FEPs to get the features we actually need and want to get the basis features of today. Currently it's hard to read, there is no single document. No single source of truth. All FEPs are actually optional to implement. And it's a mess.

    Could you imagine if an internet standard like http or TCP was documented like this? It would never have worked.

  • Is my apt bugged?

  • This is a feature not a bug.

  • Sure! Just one problem the title is saying "Total Mbin Posts by Month".. but it doesn't look like a total, but more like an average? Disclaimer: I don't know how reliable this source is.

    Source: https://mbin.fediverse.observer/stats

    I also notice a decline in servers of both Lemmy: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats server as well as Mbin servers. Lemmy peaked around 1396 servers and is now down to 370 (73.4% decrease). Mbin peaked around 26 and is down to 15 (42% decrease). I can't give you an answer why there is a decrease in servers in the threadiverse realm..

    Even outside of the threadiverse there is a downtrend going on with Mastodon. Peak of 11773 down to 7666 (34.8% decrease).

  • What risk might I have accidentally exposed my computer to by viewing a pirated streaming site without AV blocking?

  • 200%. Avoid windows 11 for sure.

  • No it's not immune to viruses or malware. Like you said it's less likely. But also in general Linux is more safe, for root permissions it will ask you your password.

    And just in general I think you're better off using Linux.

  • Linux Still Dealing With Quirky Firewire Devices As We Enter 2026

    Jump

  • I never had a device that needed firewire (luckily?). I always found it a strange standard and connector.

    Luckily today we just have usb c, specifically usb 3.2 gen 2. Which is the default for some time now. Another benefit is it will often also come with power delivery as well, something that firewire doesn't support at all.

    And for audio I always use optical audio cables. Also known as S/PDIF.
