What do you think would improve your Lemmy experience?
  • lichess integration so every unresolvable argument can be decided by a chess duel. A bot reacts when it's called by a command (plus arguments to customize the game) and drops a link (only OP can access and play, others join as spectators). Results are then posted as a reply. It's not possible atm, but I guess lichess devs are based and won't mind a little customization on their side for that silly matter. Federating with them would be a way to null many people's bingo cards.

  • "To show all the ideological diversity that Hexbear has I think everyone should have to do a polcomp test." -- To no one's surprise, there is no diversity.
  • Maybe there shouldn't be a scheme simplifying a complex matter to two axes, coupled with these short questionnaires? Or it shouldn't be taken seriously at all? PCM is a Harry Potter houses test for political fandoms on the internet, it has it's niche, but neither it, nor other models bring something meaningful to the table for it is by design a gross oversimplification.

  • What type of site do you hope becomes popular on the Fediverse next?
  • Deeper intergration with p2p file sharing\streaming-oriented sites and protocols, e.g. torrents, but decentralized too. Think like Blizzard with their p2p acceleration of downloads using other people's downloaded game. Basically, making your own PC a source of content for those accesing instance. May probably ease traffic reqs for instances and make them more reliable under ddos.

    Infrastructure for old-fashioned game servers' communities, like those for Minecraft. Login with your fediverse account, one-click joining server, creating federated networks of them with theoretical migration of progress\playtime\achievements. It can make this way of multiplayer gaming convinient again. Yet again, it needs specifically tailored games\clients.

    Mapping and geocaching communities. A network of overlaying local map-canvases that people can interact with by adding favorite routes, comments, points of interest.

    Books and articles shared between repositories of different universities\libraries.

  • Lemmyshitpost community closed until further notice
  • They don't have much power to down multiple places so they targeted one to show off, watch our reaction and see how vulnerabilities get fixed. It's probably one person or a thread on some chan-board taking offense at LW\Lemmy for some reason, and c/shitposting could be taken by activity\moderators count metrics rather than for having something against it alone. They did damage and locked community, but what's next? If they are indeed like old boards' posters, methodically flooding communities one after another doesn't make sense and gets old really quick if they can't do something more atrocious, achieve new goal or find another exploit. That's done already.

  • Tesla braces for its first trial involving Autopilot fatality
  • It seems like an obvious flaw that's pretty simple to explain. Car is learnt to operate the infromation about collisions on a set height. The opening between the wheels of a truck's trailer thus could be treated by it as a free space. It's a rare situation, but if it's confirmed and reproduceable, that, at least, raises concerns, how many other glitches would drivers learn by surprise.

  • Russians Are Strangely Stumped About Why Moscow Is Getting Bombed
  • Arrests and visits are not that widespread yet. Problems are atomization of society and lack of trust, that doesn't help organizing for literally anything too. Someone in higher comment remembered the long and hardly broken by 90s history of opression, but there's an old anecdote: 'If Stalin is such a monster, who sniched on others millions of times?'. If you don't vet a person\company before dropping heavy topics and opinions, they can tell on you just out of spite. On a local, small people level, folks aren't found out by secret services, they are snitched on. A girl painted a pro-peace picture and teacher called a police, resulting in her father imprisoned and her put into shelter. Some guy overheard a couple talking in a cafe and boyfriend was pressed face-to-floor before they had a chance to leave. Some college students snitched on a classmate just for lulz to FSB and she got a prison sentence out of blue, she was 19. It's despicable, but these facts aren't systemic oppression, but rather ugly POSes having a new leverage over others. When Zs are plastered everywhere, you aren't really sure who'd hear you at all times.

    Telegram is very widespread and not blocked (while most VPNs are). Many under 45 follow the situation there, see videos and news. They just don't know what to do with that, to fully comprehend what's going on themselves and see their role in it, and totally unlikely to talk about it publicly. It's going back to close kitchen talks of later USSR. Everyone understands everything, but mantra comes to mind. Not many take a hard stance now, but try to put together a Frankenstein's creature of conflicting thoughts\bits of information to somehow explain the situation (like the viral beheading done by Wagner), or isolate themselves from it altogether to keep moving. Only to then get very surprised, when this thrown away and long forgotten puzzle suddenly blows up under their bed.

    A very weird place to observe.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Is there a way for admin teams and self-hosters to have a shared banlist, IP\instances included? Like a sideloading addition to a local filter, with a limited amount of collectively approved contributors commiting to it directly? I don't know how it should work, but it may possibly reduce their attacks' effectiveness.

  • Finland arrests Russian ultra-nationalist wanted in Ukraine for war crimes
  • Scandinavian stuff is like a magnet for nazi idiots. Vikings, runes, groups like Burzum (see Varg Vikernes), white majority in the country, nortern nature, isolation and safety to form clubs or even parties for them. It's like a Disneyland for him.

    And after a while, when he was deported, he probably wanted to get back, as in his country nazism is controlled and only useful, submissive strays are safe to be. Becoming too influential or talking against the party line is a punishable offence. At least a couple of big neonazi\alt-right turds got suicided in recent decade for acting up, and I wasn't following them closely. If only it wasn't in history books.

  • It should be harder to unlogin from your current account.

    It happened to me a couple of times. May there be a warning dialog before that? Because if you unlog, you'd need to log in again with empty login and password forms. And it's just one tap from other accounts in account switching menu.

    Or maybe put it onto the bottom of a sidebar? Idk.

    Have anyone played Dead Space 2 on Linux Mint?

    I've tried many recs from ProtonDB but it doesn't work for me. Both DS1 and DS2 just never open a window.

    I use Steam, I switched proton versions and some %program launch options, but no luck.

    If you have some ideas, I'd love to hear them.
