We are no longer going to talk about tankies, I pray.

Pray all you want.
The definition of a tankie is a person that supports the idea that a country should have the right to use its military or paramilitary forces for suppressing unwanted domestic civilian activity.

If you do support tankie regimes, such as that of China or the Russia, you are a tankie.

Tankies are not okay. You see a tankie, punch him on the face. Thank you for your attention.

Many of the issues raised in the text are solved in PieFed.

A very nice thing about the Forumverse is that our refugees can perfectly well be internal. If there is a reason to escape, it is your instance you’re escaping, not the whole network! This feels like a very promising feature :)

This is Reddit blocking Feddit.uk from requesting the page title, though. “maam”, a user of feddit.uk, wrote the link there, and feddit.uk then opened the page behind the link, in order to get the title of the page. The title provided by old.reddit.com was “Blocked”, and that’s what feddit.uk wrote there.

So, neither feddit.uk nor lemmy.dbzer0.com are blocking Reddit. To some extent a block seems to exist in the opposite direction already, though!

Owen did not answer, but I think I can.

I once wrote that genociding Uyghurs is bad, and that comment of mine got promptly deleted by the lemmy.ml admins. It being forbidden to talk about a genocide happening because it’s happening in territories held by China and not in the west is a very big red flag!

Another one is that you’re not allowed to talk about Holodomor, which was a genocide done by Moscow against Ukrainians about one century ago.

I am very surprised that at the same time they do allow talking about the genocide Israel is doing to Palestinians. The lemmy.ml admins are absolutely inconsistent. But, at least some genocides are bad even in their eyes.

Yeah, it should have caused that debacle before they elected to let go of all the concessions they had.

But yeah, I think a lot of EU countries would revolt if UK was let in without having to join the Euro and Schengen. And yes, I believe this does indeed mean that UK is not going to rejoin within the next half a century at least. Also a reason it feels a bit stupid trying to integrate them into EU stuff – they’re going to prefer staying out anyhow (unleas they get concessions they won’t get) so why bother?

Of course, if they want to follow some EU rules, why not? And for each EU rule they proactively and reliably implement, they should of course receive the relevant goodies, just like Norway. But, at least I would not want the EU to spend our resources trying to pull UK into doing anything it’s not motivated enough to do out of its own accord.

Yeah, it seems to have appeared again at some point. I’ll need to learn how to run it on Linux, but it apparently should be possible indeed! Or maybe I’ll find some place with a Windows computer to try it. Nice! :)

How about GTA2? That’s by far the best game in the series! When are we going to get to play that one again?

You already joined the Eurovision.
But I cannot really see the EU capital being moved to Perth :D

There’s no insistence on UK adopting the Euro.

Any new member state adopts the Euro and joins the Schengen area. This is not something to insist, it’s just a rule that exists regardless of insisting or not insisting. Or insisting to not insist – whatever.

If the UK ever joins the EU, it will also join the Euro. It’s not really something that is up for debate.

I’d say, make it unambiguously clear that joining the EU means joining the Euro and joining the Schengen area. Then require at least 67,7 % “Yes” in a poll.

I would prefer UK not joining us without these requirements fulfilled. And yes, other’s may join with just 50 % “yes”, but they don’t have a history of quitting the EU.

Joining the EU would mean dropping the Pound anyhow.

Learned today about the band Shaman having a record, called Idja, where all songs are in Sámi language!

Nice music. I could not directly find it on Tidal, but when I looked for all songs with Jonne Järvelä mentioned in the credits, Tidal did show it!

All you need is to have the IP addresses. If you can extract them, then the rest can be done by saying whois ip.ad.re.ss (where you put some numbers between 0 and 255 instead of ip, ad, re and ss.)

different stance to how blocking is handled, one far more abuseable

How is it more abuseable?

What things do they handle differently? I mean, PieFed has an equivalent of Multireddits and Lemmy does not, but Lemmy is about to have them if 1.0 comes out some year. That’s already been declared.

The same with flairs. Yeah, PieFed has them, Lemmy doesn’t, but Lemmy will have them if 1.0 comes out.

I wouldn’t say it’s “handling things differently” that one has implemented features that the other one is still in the process of implementing, but has already decided it definitely will implement them, at some point.

PieFed is essentially just future Lemmy.

59 million €… How many percent is that of Amazon’s profits made in Germany? This counts as a business expense for them, not as a punishment.

Okay.

Just wanted to point out that PieFed and Lemmy are the same thing. There’s a reason to fight between Reddit and Forumverse, but whatever makes Lemmy grow is good for PieFed and vice versa. So, the meaning of the word “alternative” is very different when comparing Reddit with Forumverse, and when comparing various Forumverse softwares to each other.

Reddit is kind of “against” us, while PieFed and Lemmy play in the same team.

options are essentially PieFed, Reddit, or Lemmy

Reddit is actually a whole different system. Yes, it’s alternative for the whole of fediverse, as it is completely unfederated. It’s basically just one instance. Being a PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin alternative, it of course shares a lot of features with them (much more with PieFed, but a very reasonable amount with Lemmy as well!)

With PieFed and Lemmy and Mbin you have access to all the same posts and all the same communities, so they are alternatives to each other, and it mostly doesn’t matter a shit which one you go for. But Reddit is a different thing altogether.

You can check what Reddit ise over here: http://reddit.com/ . Try searching for any Forumverse posts there and you will see it’s not part of the Fediverse. You will not find any of our content there, unless someone who has created a user account also on Reddit has copypasted something to Reddit!

I hope this information was of use for you! 👍

And the original Italian so that you don’t need to click the post open:

Buongiorno. Ho un problema: ho un notebook con Linux Ufficiozero, e ho un database access (non convertibile in un file per LibreOffice Base).Come faccio per usarlo? Devo ricostruire da zero tutto il database in LibreOffice?
Oppure mi tocca installare in qualche modo, forse con wine o un altro programma, Office su Linux?
Per me è di capitale importanza questo database perché mi serve per gestire un ente del terzo settore, praticamente devo gestire benefattori, offerte e progetti sostenuti
