I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Thank you
After looking through the records from our side, we have banned the following accounts: @sxybaka@lemmy.cafe @battousai@lemmy.zip @ivar@progamming.dev @wildnessreshuff@lemmy.world @gradationstwope@lemy.lol @tactsquick@sh.itjust.works @lamdelille@ttrpg.network emkata2564@futurology.today. We also flagged an additional account internally to keep an eye on moving forward.
Sorry for not being able to deal with that sooner. However, in the future please don’t engage with the accounts as you have done in this thread. It’s reasonable to leave a public comment to call them out, but it doesn’t really help anything to engage with them further than that. You also run the risk of looping in legitimate users who are not a part of the vote manipulation circle.


It was a full replacement for me, but I was only using it for personal use.
If you need a unique and specific package, you might have trouble finding it since the LaTeX ecosystem has been around for decades longer. The other drawback would be collaboration and interacting with journals, where the people that grew up with LaTeX might be resistant to changing to something new. I’m not personally in the research side now, so I can’t comment on it much further. I would assume that adoption also varies by the field of research.


Hi @HikingVet@lemmy.ca, I’m going to look into the vote manipulation reports from our end. Is this the most up to date list of the accounts to look into?


I switched from LaTeX to Typst this year, and while I didn’t do it for this reason, it’s a nice side benefit
This is also a great way to dox yourself. With a number of platforms that do this, opening the link will greet some users with “see what else USERNAME is doing”
So if you share a reddit post with a family member, they might learn your Reddit username. Likewise if you share a tiktok or instagram post on reddit, then people might see your real name.
Sharing from the app will create a different URL, where you can’t just snip off the end to clean it up. You have to resolve it first


The blocker runs in the main browser process rather than as a web extension, which means it isn’t subject to the limitations that extension based blockers like uBlock Origin face.
Waterfox is a fork of Firefox though, why would it face the limitations that chrome has?
The video isn’t loading for me, but from context, is it like surgeon simulator but for home repairs


It will redirect you to a random community, so it wouldn’t make much sense to subscribe to it. The apps will likely add a button or menu somewhere for you to use it


*for internal communication
The EU Commission is cracking down harder on digital espionage. It has instructed its highest-ranking officials to immediately dissolve a central Signal group for internal communication. According to Politico, department heads and their deputies are primarily affected by this measure. The order stems from fears that the chat group may have become the target of targeted cyberattacks.
I assume it is to prevent this mess

They almost always get removed or deleted eventually, but sometimes they’ll get upvoted for a few hours until an eagle eyed user spots evidence and calls it out.
It’s also not OPs fault most of the time. It’s hard to spot them


Music don’t contain watermarks that ruin the experience in the work itself.
They do, and I find it a lot more obnoxious than a label in the borders on an image
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Producer_tag
It’s available in text attribution/ metadata base.
When I download a song, the file comes with the metadata. When I download an image, the creator information is not there. When images are shared, it’s very often the image alone and not a link to the page with the image.
Also artists have been leaving a signature on their art for as long as we’ve had art. All people are asking is that you share the art as it was created instead of modifying each piece before you share it. By doing that, you’re deciding for other people what is best.
This honestly feels like a good opportunity for you to make a separate community and post your edits there so that the people who prefer that format can subscribe to it.
The benefit is that the other microblogging platforms might also implement or improve threadiverse support if this goes well. We could get more activity and users from the people who are only on a microblogging platform
Did you try Calibre Web or Calibre Web Automated
Maybe CWA is what you’re looking for?


Nice, I had no idea
I tried out Fladder, Moonfin, and Wholphin
I replaced Findroid with Wholphin on ours


Neat, are there any other clients for Android TV aside from the official one?
Fladder was working on it, but last I tried it was still too unstable to use
It might be the thesis, but it definitely raises discussions on why some protests work and others don’t. It’s true that a one and done protest is easy to ignore. That doesn’t mean all protests are ineffective.
Historically, protests were effective when they were the signal that people were unhappy, and that if something didn’t change, people would take further action.
So I’m order for protests to be more effective:
Simplifying it down to “🔫 or nothing” is just as silly as the octopus protest, in that people need to find the right set of actions for each situation.
As for the US specifically, I don’t see what an immediate armed revolution would accomplish.
Weird, it loads instantly for me. Maybe you have some settings that are blocking the page?
