  • Why can people see who upvotes and who downvoted post on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I don't make it a habit to check, but it has been fun to check and call out in precisely two scenarios.

    • One user and I deep into a sub thread on a multiple day old post arguing about ettiquette here. Was weird to get multiple downvotes on those sorts of comments. They were using their "abandoned" alts.
    • Another thread where I had repeatedly asked someone to share the source for their claim despite them insisting that I just wasn't googling right. I offered them to edit literally every comment (multiple thousand) on this account to sing their praises. Downvoted with no response.

  • In moderation. Everyone needs a way to lazily recharge. But make no mistake that even though it's engaging, it's only better for you than mindless content consumption by very thin margins.

  • Good point. I would hope it's a mixture of both.

    But these people seem to have this crazy idea that anyone not openly resisting them endorses them. It's an important tool to show them otherwise. There should be no situation in which they feel welcome. They should be worrying that every pair of eyes could be reporting them. And it should be broadcast loud and clear that the situation is of their own making.

    ICE under Obama did operations against supposed extra criminal illegals (sex traffickers etc) and also against "illegals" (people just living their lives while "not supposed to be here" 🙄). While it's definitely arguable they should have, they never got the kind of public resistance they're now getting under Trump. At the very least that needs to be made un-ignorable.

    This whole situation is all the more damning because a certain amount of this sort of shit was acceptable as status quo. Not many people are going to wring their hands over actions taken against cartel or sex traffickers, or unfortunately people who can be convincingly labelled as such.

    So when it's getting a response like this, it should be crystal clear just how fucking far over the line this is.

    I personally still have a hard time advocating for precautionary violence, but there's surely a lot of ground to be gained in terms of breaking ICE morale.

  • Could be good, but could also be jammed. Have they been jamming cell and/or bluetooth out there? Also could be in violation of FAA laws (not that it really matters here).

    You even took the time to edit this comment and didn't check who you were replying to?

  • Lol, wow. You just keep going deeper.

    I'm teasing you a little about the clear chip on your shoulder, but I'm completely serious about the fact that you are broadcasting that chip loudly and that it's a you problem.

    You immediately jumping to the conclusion that anyone ever making a complaint about noisy neghbors is in the wrong is ridiculous. Then your further insistence that anyone complaining about it that wants something done has to be calling for eviction or arrest is even more ridiculous.

    Most people just want to be able to be in their house without hearing a domestic dispute through the walls, or without being able to make out exactly what songs their neighbor is listening to for multiple hours every day. The goal is to get that to stop, or at least lessen. The solution to achieve that is "whatever it takes, starting with the reasonable options".

    If, after multiple polite conversations, and maybe even some not so polite ones, the neighbor continues or escalates? The loud neighbor has then chosen the severity of the solution by denying the reasonable ones. If you've had a neighbor talk to you about your noise repeatedly, then you were the problem, not them.

    You can get a sheet of pads to make cabinets and doors more quiet for like $5. You can wear headphones for your music.

    Personally, like I said in my last comment, I wouldn't escalate past talking to them and the landlord. Historically I've lived in complexes large enough that a noisy person could be moved to another unit if the landlord had recieved a ton of complaints, which would be my hope from the landlord at the absolute most absurd extreme. If nothing changed, I'd live with it and curse about it a lot. Probably bang on the wall on egregious occasions. Maybe blast something worse back right up against the wall rarely.

  • Rage? I'm not upset. You seem to be really invested in this though. I was being somewhat flippant in my last comment about the problem likely being you if you've somehow been the target of multiple noise complaints or if you've somehow known multiple people who would want someone evicted for a basic noise compaint, but this really is coming across as something personal for you.

    The only person who mentioned eviction is you. And OP clearly isn't calling the cops on their neighbors, otherwise the landlord saying they needed a police report wouldn't be anywhere as much of a problem.

    If a polite conversation doesn't work, and a not so polite conversation doesn't work, and the landlord stepping in doesn't work, then we're all adults and can just be increasingly passive agressive.

  • That's cool, because you willfully misinterpreted OP to start with.

    The obvious implication with what they're saying is people doing it egregiously.

    "Someone who likes slamming things" doesn't usually mean people just using their shit reasonably, it's also not "literally all my neighbors slam things all the time and I have no concept that the cabinets just might be shit in every unit".

    It's talking about an outlier.

    There's more room to interpret "or who plays loud music" as maybe referring to someone doing a one off thing, but that's borderline taking OP in bad faith.

    There are absolutely people who rant about gnat farts, but if you've encountered any significant amount, I'd suggest you're probably a lot louder than you think you're being.

  • Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android

  • "sideloading" my ass btw.

    I'm not a fan of fucking with established terms, but I do wish news orgs would start consistently using the phrase "installing [uncertified/unapproved/non-vetted/unverified] software".

  • /r/BuyFromEU: "Let's settle the Reddit alternative discussion: Lemmy doesn't need to “beat Reddit”, it needs to feel effortless"

    Jump

  • That's not even going to be practically possible for people with no account. You could do it for the instance they're currently browsing from, but the cookie wouldn't carry to others if they found themselves browsing from another instance as the sort of "front end". Might be wrong, but that's how I understand cookies to work.

    Then there's edge cases like them trying to psuedo-subscribe to a community that hasn't been pulled down to the instance they're on yet. If you wanted it to work like it does for a real user, that would have to be logged by the instance so it could fetch it. That would be open to a lot of abuse I would think. Unauthenticated visitors could force federation of illegal comms, or effectively anonymously DDOS the instance by overloading it with requests to pull down tons of comms. There's plenty of ways to conbat that, but it would undeniably break the concepts behind how federation is meant to work (for the sake of storage and server efficiency) if you allowed it to be kicked off by guest users.

    So at best it would be a brittle thing, locked to the instance the guest was browsing at the time and restricted to comms already federated with the instance.

    Not completely useless, but it would be a hell of a lot of work for so little benefit.

  • I mean, there's piefed and the *bins, if we're being pedantic, but especially outside of the fediverse I don't think the distinction is too important.

  • The 2026 Linux Summer Games - Dankpods compares performance in games across Windows and Linux on 12 machines

  • I know you've been told as responses to your other comments, but for anyone else browsing, he didn't just swap drives. He did fresh installs of the correct versions for the hardware.

    It seems that he likely did this during a period where the nVidia drivers were not supported, which still isn't a mark in the favor of Bazzite that something like that can be easily missed by the end user.

    I think he got hung up on how long this took him personally when he was editing, and used that to justify a long fucking edit. I have no idea how he managed to strecth this into a freaking hour.

  • It's definitely a waste of time that he should have stopped after the first one or two where they obviously weren't working.

    I still think it's an important demonstration of where things could (and should) be made clearer to the end user.

    Like a lot of technical stuff, there's kind of an absurd expectation that caveats can be completely omitted and it's on the end user to figure out. I make tons of documentation at my job as a sysadmin. I get that you can't possibly catalog every edge case and caveat, but from what I can tell, this issue with the Bazzite images was known and happens often enough that the cause is well known. It's a failing by the maintainers that they don't have a basic warning mechanism built in for this scenario.

    A warning on the download page. A warning in the updater. Better controls in the release tools so the nVidia release can stay on the last supported version until the new drivers work.

    Anything besides just expecting the end user to magically know that the thing labelled as working for their situation does not in fact work at the moment.
