Hamas blocks foreign nationals from leaving Gaza
  • There's got to be a way to remove Hamas without killing everyone in Gaza. I hope the international community can come together to find a way. I definitely wouldn't leave it to Israel lol.

    It probably involves with allying with the PLO or some more secular faction of Palestinians, and Egypt. But they'd need to give something to them or else no one has a reason to support them unless they have some victories they can point to.

  • Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
  • It used to be the fastest, but nowadays I find its performance doesn't surpass Firefox and Edge that much. Actually, I haven't used Chrome much at all recently, so maybe it doesn't at all nowadays. I definitely haven't noticed it's absence now that I've been slowly returning to Firefox thanks to Google and Microsoft's constant privacy snafoos.

  • SAG-AFTRA Calls Interactive Media Strike Authorization Vote
  • Does Troy Baker suck? I know he voices he a ton of characters but I've never heard of anything about him personally.

    And ya, this is a great step forward. Like movies and tv, the video game industry is rife with the money taking advantage of people. Maybe even more, because there's less union backing in video games.

  • What we know about the gunman who shot Laura Carleton over Pride flag
  • One harrowing post shared on Friday – the day of Carleton’s murder – read: “America must repent for a lot of things we allow; abortion/baby killing, sexual immortality, pornography, same-sex marriages, LGBTQP/pedophilia, freemasonry, religiosity, politics, wars, colonialism, the federal reserve.”

    What the hell is sexual immortality? Or religiosity? Usually these kinds of people are all for religion. If it's there's.

  • What’s an instance?

    A website hosted by some kind individual or group created to host data and interface with one of the specific fediverse applications (Lemmy, Kbin, Mastadon, Pixelfed, etc).

    What’s a community?

    This is a Lemmy-specific term. They are topic-specific boards hosted on instances, similar to subreddits on Reddit. The Kbin term for this same idea is magazines.
    Example: For Lemmy, they are represented as "!community", such as !pics. On Kbin, they are "@magazine", such as @pics.

    What are federations?

    I haven't really heard the word used this way, I've heard it more as an adjective or verb. This may take more than one line to explain because I literally had to see it to believe it.
    To have one instance federated with another is to have them communicating with each other, so that users, posts, communities, etc on one instance can be read by uses on another instance. It's how I can read all these Lemmy posts on Kbin and comment under them, because these Lemmy instances are federated with the Kbin.social instance I'm currently on.

    What's mastadon?

    A federated version of Twitter.

    Whats Kbin?

    A federated web application that combines the link-aggregation of Reddit with the individual micro blogging threads of Twitter.

    What's Activity Pub?

    It's the current protocol to enable federation of all these sites we've been talking about. Federation is possible because all these sites are speaking the same language, and this is that language.
    In addition to Lemmy, Kbin, Mastadon that use Activity Pub, we also have Pixelfed, Micro.blog, Nextcloud, PeerTube, and more I'm sure.

    If you have any other questions, just ask!

  • I still need an app that does the RIF thing of hiding the little links under a post (time it was posted, by whom, also links to share share, save, hide, comments, etc.) on the main feed until I click on it. It saved a lot of screen real estate.

    But until an app does that, I've been switching between Liftoff, Connect, Jerboa, wefwef, and the kbin.social PWA. They all seem to sort posts in different ways so it's actually provided a different experience each time lol.

  • Disappointed ex-Reddit user after the APIcalypse - starter pack
  • We're kind of starting to get that, we just need to encourage people to spread out from lemmy.world and make communities in these other instances. We've got lemmy.film that's TV and film focused, pathfinder.social and another ttrpg instance, star trek has an instance, the solar punk instance, there's a couple tech, privacy, and hacker instances. I'd also like to see more local area communities in instances like midwest.social instead of all on lemmy.world, too.

  • New Guy From RIF
  • Jerboa and wefwef are both pretty RIF-like. Jerboa can be buggy sometimes and wefwef is a web app rather than a native app, though. I've also been trying out Connect for Lemmy and Liftoff.

    I haven't found an app that let's me add new communities that haven't been added to your instance yet, though. For that, I still have to use the web browser.
