"Destroying" has a pretty obvious connotation.

Most monarchies didn't get 'destroyed' and most peasants living under monarchies didn't have much to lose to begin with. The world is much more interconnected now.

There is no perfect system, every system needs to be fought over, lest it gets overtaken by those working against you. Destroying the current system also destroys every benefit you already fought for.

In Germany, those letters come with a fine, which they can sue you over, if you don't pay.

Honestly as a German, torrenting seems to be way too risky. Internet providers will immediately cave when they are contacted about an IP adress they control and there are multiple law firms whose only business model seems to be sending out c&d letters.

I wonder if you remind your child of a specific memory they made daily, if they will remember that moment till their adult life.

It isn't a big deal, unless for loons that get all of their news from fake accounts. That's why it's a big deal. Because some will be sucked into a bubble.

As long as it means they can control others, they are happy.

That and controlling women is the point as well.

I think Lemmy/Mbin would benefit from 'moderation pools'. The basic idea is that, if you subscribe to or join a moderation pool, your instance will automatically copy any moderation action taken on content your instance also hosts. This would allow multiple single-admin instances to moderate even during off-hours of any single admin.

One statement that always works with republicans: Every accusation is an admission.

 

"Table Media" hatte unter Berufung auf Parteikreise berichtet, Sekmen habe aus Enttäuschung über die grüne Wirtschaftspolitik schon vor Wochen Kontakt zur CDU aufgenommen.

Sekmen hat türkische Wurzeln - ihr Vater ist als Jugendlicher nach Deutschland gekommen.

"Wir brauchen eine Debattenkultur, in der Menschen ihre Meinung und ihre Sorgen sagen können, ohne in Schubladen gesteckt zu werden", sagte Sekmen. "Diese Stimmen müssen aus einer starken Mitte und nicht aus den extremen Rändern der Politik kommen." Menschen über ihr Tun, ihr Wirken und nicht über ihre Herkunft zu definieren, dafür stehe für sie das neue Grundsatzprogramm der CDU, so die Politikerin.

 

After having spent some time on Lemmy and learning of the intricacies of the different Lemmy instances, I think the landing page for the Lemmyverse could do with some streamlining. I remember that back when I joined, the only information I used to decide on an instance to join was the user count, the signup policy and the instance name. Now, coming from the instance with the best name, I can't say that I've regretted my choice, but for new people looking to join Lemmy, crucial information that would help them join the instance best suited for them is still missing.

To provide that information, I want to suggest the creation of multiple categories, in which instance owners are encouraged to describe their instance. Instances that provide a description for each category are then ranked higher on the join-lemmy.org website.

The following categories would, in my opinion, help new users decide on an instance to join:

Content Policy
This category could describe what kind of content the instance wants to specialize in. Whether that be sports, games, specific sports teams or games, NSFW content, meme content, etc.

Signup Policy
The website already shows whether an application needs to be filled out, but it doesn't show what is expected of the applicant. A category describing what exactly the instance would like to see in their new users would help those users decide, if that instance is for them or not.
As an example, an instance focussed on a certain language could inform users, that they expect an application in that language.

Community creation Policy
Here, instances could describe what rules they have around community creation. Small instances could, for example, clarify in this category, that they would only want to host niche communities without much traction at most. Other servers could specify that they would only want to host unique communities, not copies of or communities closely related to communities already existing on other instances.

Federation Policy
Here instance owners could clarify their stance on what other instances they are willing or not willing to federate with. To give an example, instances could describe their stance on federating with other instances hosting NSFW content, possibly illegal content (lemmy.world and /c/piracy), overly political content, and so on and so forth.

Lastly, some statistics could be added to show the health of the instance: Active user to inactive user ratio, active user to report ratio, active user/report to mod action ratio, community engagement ratio, uptime, server software version and so on.

With these categories, I can say that if I were to join the Lemmyverse today, I'd be able to make a much more informed decision on what instance to join.

 

I'd like to use a mod that allows me to create crafting bills that only trigger when I have more than X resources in storage. As an example, if I set up a bill that requires 4 Components, I'd like to set a limit of 50 Components, so that items only get crafted, if I have more than 50 Components in storage. Does anyone know of a mod that allows this constraint to be set?

 

Frankreich ist derzeit das einzige EU-Land mit Atomwaffen, seit Großbritannien die EU verlassen hat. Paris hatte anderen EU-Partnern Gespräche über eine europäische atomare Abschreckung angeboten. Lindner betonte, auch Deutschland müsse sich fragen, welchen Beitrag es zu leisten bereit sei. Solange es Nuklearwaffen auf der Welt gebe, werde Europa an einem System der nuklearen Abschreckung festhalten müssen, um nicht schutzlos der Erpressung autoritärer Staaten ausgeliefert zu sein.

 

I think the analysis done in the video is spot-on and I hope that it finds its way into the mainstream media and to the people in power. The only way to not have the Ukraine war spiral into a blood bath even more than it is now, and threaten to pull Europe and by extention the US into the conflict, is to adequately support Ukraine's military, so they can win.

 

Seine bisher schärfste Kritik an Israels Vorgehen im Gazastreifen hatte Joe Biden geübt, als keine Kameras oder Mikrofone im Raum waren. Vor Unterstützern seiner demokratischen Partei hatte Biden laut Augenzeugen gesagt, dass nach dem Angriff der Hamas am 7. Oktober der Großteil der Welt hinter Israel gestanden habe.

Aber nun sei Israel dabei, die Unterstützung durch "willkürliche Bombardements" zu verlieren. Die Formulierung sorgte in den USA auch deshalb für Aufsehen, weil willkürliche Bombardements nach internationalem Recht als Kriegsverbrechen gewertet werden können.

 

Vor allem junge Delegierte üben in der Debatte scharfe Kritik an der Asylpolitik der Ampelregierung. "Es ist unehrlich über Begrenzung zu reden, während die Welt in Flammen steht", sagt Vasili Franco, Delegierter aus Berlin. "Liebe Freundinnen und Freunde, ich bitte Euch. Lasst uns nicht schon auf diesem Parteitag einen Kompromiss mit konservativen Kräften verabschieden", drängt Sophia Pott aus Lübeck.

Welche, das schildert auf eindringliche Weise Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock: "Wenn ich mir vorstelle, es geht um jedes Flüchtlingskind in Thessaloniki, soll ich dann sagen, ich kann leider nicht mitverhandeln, das soll jetzt mein ungarischer Kollege alleine machen? Soll Robert das nächste Mal, wenn er bei der MPK [Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz] sitzt, sagen, ich kann da nicht mitverhandeln, das soll jemand anderes machen?" Baerbock fleht regelrecht ihre Parteifreunde an, den Antrag der Grünen Jugend abzulehnen.

 

Seit Monaten wird in der Ampelkoalition darüber debattiert, wie sich die Strompreise in Deutschland senken lassen. Bislang drehte sich der Streit vor allem um die Frage, ob ein staatlich subventionierter Industriestrompreis, die Senkung der Stromsteuer oder vielleicht auch beides die richtige Antwort darauf ist. Dass Bundesfinanzminister Christian Lindner jetzt den auf 2030 vorgezogenen Kohleausstieg ins Spiel bringt, ist kein Zufall.

 

Korsika wird mehr Autonomie versprochen, viele bleiben aber skeptisch.

 

Whenever I try to respond to Mastodon comments with this account, I only get an endlessly spinning loading circle. From my lemmy.world backup account however I can send the response no problem. Any clue why that is?

 

I've installed Fennec on my Android 12 device, since it still has about:config accessible. I've been following this old guide from 2014 in order to set a custom download path, however unfortunately without luck. Is it still possible to set the download folder and if it is, what options do I need to set?

I found browser.download.useDownloadDir and have set it to false. I've tried to set browser.download.dir to /storage/C05C-A00E/Test, which is what my file explorer app tells me my sdcard is mounted under, and to /sdcard/Test, which is what the tutorial showed. Both did not work, downloads still land in the default download folder.
