In Italy we use hectograms ("ettogrammi", "etti" for short) in day to day life when buying groceries. You don't ask for 200 grams of ham, you just ask for 2 etti.
Maybe I do. But I've already seen polls that appeared to be favouring (albeit marginally) the UK rejoining the EU. And this is only after a handful of years.
Please don't take it as an offense, that's not how I mean it, but I think Brexit showed that the UK needed the EU more than the EU needed the UK, so I expect those numbers to grow even further as the people realize it.
True for Serbia and Belarus, but Russia is so big - both in terms of surface as well as population - that it wouldn't really work with the way the union is currently structured. I'm not even sure if it's possible to restructure the union in a way that allows Russia joining without them becoming an hegemonic power within the union itself.
Short answer: the Norwegians don't want to. Why? I think it has to do with both their very high GDP per capita (which IIRC would make them pay large membership fees) and more importantly, the fact that they'd have to follow the EU's common fisheries policy.
With the current arrangement they have to follow most of the EU's laws but not the fishing ones.
In 1987, Morocco applied to join the European Communities (the precursor to the European Union). The application was rejected on the grounds that Morocco was not considered to be a "European country" and hence could not join.
Ukraine: would be nice but it'd break the current farming subsidies program
United Kingdom: just a matter of time
Norway (and might I add Iceland and Switzerland): I'd love nothing more than this but we both know they won't for different political reasons. Never gonna happen under the current treaties.
Serbia, Belarus, Russia: fuck no
everyone else: as soon as they respect the Copenhagen criteria, sure
It might be, although I've read of some freezes happening even on the fastest SSD in the world so... idk, I think they might have fucked up somewhere. I also suspect there might be some memory leaks, although this comes solely from my experience, I have no data to show.
Oh thanks for that. Looking at the plugin's wordpress page I ended up on a wordpress SVN page and thought I had to browse that. My allergy is already much better, I might have a look after all.
You are right. I don't mind the upvotes being public, I do mind the deletion thing (although it's an inherent flaw of federation, hard to get around it) but both are points against it having good privacy.
I guess what I meant is that the platform makes no attempt at linking your online persona to anything else. It doesn't even collect IP adresses and has very poor logging - btw this is actually a liability with the ongoing CSAM issue.
Looking at the Mastodon and Lemmy documentations, yes it should work.
Lemmy accepts posts with the: Page, Article, Note, Video and Event activities.
Mastodon accepts toots with the Page, Article, Note, Video, Event, Image, Audio and Question activities.
As you can see there's a large overlap between the two, so I say it's likely that it will work. I could bring this even further by having a look at the plugin's code but unfortunately I'm alergic to both PHP and SVN and wordpress uses both.
Sounds more like a simple filter to your feed. I'm not familiar with the backend side of Lemmy but I would guess it shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Just save an array of instance domains a user doesn't want to see in their preferences and filter them out of the post list that gets served to them.
That got me very confused as I never had that happening on my Reddit feed. I had to go back to Reddit to notice that I actually had that setting disabled.
Anyway, I don't think something like that would really work on Lemmy. Reddit has his algorithm that devours your privacy, chews on your data and spits out results that may or may not interests you. Lemmy is much more simple than that. IIRC it's "algorithm" is little more than a logarithmic curve and the (very based) devs are committed to user privacy, so your data will never get analyzed, not even to sugar coat your feed. For me it's a feature, though I get that not everyone might feel that way.
Adding support for Kbin is definitely a priority. When I built that tool Kbin didn't have public defederation lists (yet?) though a pull request to implement that was in the works. Idk what's the status on that is, but as soon as it's merged I'll also add Kbin.
For any other software it's a little trickier. Unless there some way to check for this through ActivityPub of which I'm not aware, I have to go through software specific steps to scan those instances. This means that for Lemmy I go through an API that only exists on Lemmy, when I'll add Kbin I'll have to write some new code that will only write for Kbin and so on. This isn't really sustainable for EVERY fedi platform out there, I won't do that.
Moreover, as you saw there was a progress bar. That's your computer querying each one of those 300 instances looking for their defed lists. The more software I add, the more instances you as a user have to query, the longer it takes to run a search. All in all I don't think I'll add support for any other software aside from Kbin and possibly Mastodon.
Yeah I don't think it's very common elsewhere. Right over the border with France they were already saying "200 grams de jambon".
But I think it's convenient. Small number make brain hurt less, brain no need to think.
