They can, if they read the manual. Mods can’t, but instance admins can.

Yes. If you use arcane commands using the docs that are in a pull request that is not yet merged. This is not accessible to many instance admins and it is only "technically supported" which is the worst kind of support from my point of view.

Yeah, it's just a room with toilet and sink that can be locked from the inside.

I'm sure it's hard but the administration has made plans for new bathrooms and repeatedly made the same mistakes. In the new developments, the bathroom stalls with the infrastructure to accommodate people are always in men and women's bathrooms so there is now actually no places for people that conform to neither.

It should be noted that I am just a man who does not use these bathrooms but I have some thoughts. My first impressions were from a queer perspective.

We have a pretty similar setup at school. It certainly doesn't feel great to me. It always felt like a shortcut used by administration to answer the 'inclusive bathroom issue'. It creates a weird fear in my mind of using one while I could be using another but instead I'd be blocking someone who needs the special infrastructure in the toilet. One of them has also repeatedly been locked by the administration because "people have sex in them" which just irks me so much. They would never close any other bathrooms if that happened in them - which it most certainly does.

Okay, that became a rant but um, these are my thoughts.

The ActivityPub plugin is very early and has many quirks at the moment. Can't edit, weird text limit things and I believe it is just a one-way federation?

Hope to see you more, silly bean!

I did not know about this Piefed feature, that's really cool!

[–] Lionir 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

In what way are those better? Don’t they still suffer from the privacy problems that come with federation?

Yes, the issue is that Lemmy does not even attempt to allow you to delete the image. There is no control for the user to do this. It's literally not possible.

Bad faith or not - Fascists are not accepted.

I mean, I essentially proposed to do this myself in private conversations with Dessalines but there was no willingness for a shared roadmap so it felt pretty pointless.

[–] Lionir 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I think this is a pretty clear example of what I mean when I say that my work was never valued.

I did do work that was non-code - I labeled tons of issues, closed duplicates and those which had already been fixed.

I did try to write code contributions (here and here). One of which was rejected based on purely aesthetic preferences and whose follow-up PR was made dormant forever afterwards.

I tried to help and contribute in the ways I could - apparently this work is just "negativity and complaints".

But are my priorities not my own? Why is this such an affront that I choose what I think is important? Would you like it if I did the same to you, demanded that you change your priorities to do what I want you to do? What if there are thousands of other people asking you the same thing?

When you accept donations and grants for Lemmy's development and when you work with other people, I think it is normal and good to think about priorities in a more collaborative fashion. I cannot write rust code and many other people cannot do that. When their issues are left ignored, dismissed and repeatedly told that they have no input towards Lemmy's direction - people tend to not want to work with you because they feel that their work is pointless.

Why make an issue if developers admit to not reading them and not changing priorities? Why help towards a collective goal if everyone is just working on their own personal thing? As someone who is not good at writing code - it just feels like shit. My work felt entirely pointless because there was no way for my effort to amount to anything I wanted. Only people who can write code can actually influence the Lemmy project.

I understand feeling burned out but I tried contributing, I tried making things better and all I was met with was "I will not change my priorities" or "I do not think it is valuable to try to bring direction in the Lemmy project" or straight up dismissal or silence. If what you wanted all this time was for you to work on your own thing with no outside input, well, all I can say is you've done good work to make that happen.

I don't think there's anything left for me to tell you.

 

Judge Chantal Corriveau of the Quebec Superior Court has ruled that parts of the new Bill 101 reform, which requires all legal documents to be translated in French, requires more evaluation and suspends them in the meanwhile.

Groups say that hiring translators is expensive and would slow down judicial processes. They further say that it may be a violation of the constitution. The CAQ defends the reform by saying that it ensures that the judicial system is accessible in French.


I'm kinda curious what people outside of Quebec think of Bill 101 in general.

 

Let’s analyse what Kiki’s Delivery Service says about work culture and burnout. Obviously, spoilers ahead.

I've personally started buying music from Bandcamp and iTunes to have my own music collection outside of a music service and better support artists.
