File transfer to USB drive fails after 4.3 gb
  • Seems like your USB drive is formatted with a filesystem that doesn't support large files like FAT32, if you are able to, try formatting into exFAT in Linux with:

    sudo mkfs.exfat -n LABEL /dev/YOURUSB
    

    or in Windows by right clicking on the USB and clicking format.

  • They'll never understand
  • Well this didn't need to be so targeted. At least tell me how you fix that shit.

    [Content Warning: Transphobia] From the very same people who tell us to "boycott Wayland"
  • I've filed a report to GitHub on this guy, I assume you did the same but ugh, people suck.

  • Firefox will support at least 200 new extensions on Android this December
  • uBlock Origin has cookie/popups filters that you can enable in its settings that work pretty well

  • UBlock not working anymore for Youtube. Anyone else have the same problem? [SOLVED!]
  • Go into your uBlock settings and purge the cache and update your filters, that should fix it, filters do usually keep up to date with YouTube but uBlock stores the old ones cached.

  • Anyone know how to enable session restore when using arkenfox user.js?
  • As per the arkenfox wiki, you should not touch user.js but rather in user-overrides.js add (or create it) the following:

    /* override recipe: enable session restore ***/ user_pref("browser.startup.page", 3); // 0102 // user_pref("browser.privatebrowsing.autostart", false); // 0110 required if you had it set as true // user_pref("browser.sessionstore.privacy_level", 0); // 1003 optional to restore cookies/formdata user_pref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.history", false); // 2811 // user_pref("privacy.cpd.history", false); // 2820 optional to match when you use Ctrl-Shift-Del
    

    See info on overrides and the recipe to enable session restore

  • What is tranarchism?

    Foremost, do forgive me because while I am not new to modding communities I am honestly new at creating one from the ground up, so I do hope you can be patient with me as you and I both learn together how to get this ball rolling. With that said, it's been brought to my attention that it's probably best if I give a generation explanation as to what this community is all about, so here that post is, a 101 introduction to c/tranarchism!

    What is tranarchism as a concept?

    Let us start with a basic dictionary definition, and then we can delve deeper into the meaning behind the label. Simply put, a tranarchist is a trans person that holds to anarchist views.

    For those of you new to anarchism as a whole, here is Anarchy 101 by Bob Black who does a far better job than I probably could in a short text to explain, plainly, what anarchist views are.

    So what about tranarchism? Transfeminism developed as a movement for trans women to speak up regarding their own marginalization and to critique mainstream and radical feminist movements, built on the work that came out of the multiracial feminist movement, and in particular, the work of black feminists. Much like it, tranarchism is an intersectional movement and a subset of queer anarchism that exists because we believe forms of oppression and exploitation do not exist separately. They are intimately related and reinforce each other, and so trying to address them individually does not give us a full understanding. Anarchism believes we must fight all forms of oppression and hierarchies, and to tranarchists gender as it is understood, and gender roles are a form of hierarchy and oppression. Abolishing capitalism and the state does not ensure that white supremacy, patriarchy or transphobia will be somehow magically dismantled and so the tranarchist movement aims to create a working class consciousness of, among other, gender diversity.

    So what is c/tranarchism for?

    This is a safe space for all queer people and specially trans people to discuss anarchist theory, to request or inform of mutual aid, and importantly, to contribute much needed working class theory on gender and the diversity of the working class. This is a community and a communal effort for all trans people and anarchists to shape.

    Hexbear defederated from us
  • You cannot leave me because I'm leaving you, well that situation solved itself. That said I am concerned about 196.

  • Tip: Blocking instances on a user level

    Hello all!

    It is clear that Lemmy being in its infancy as it is, it still is lacking in tools to protect ourselves inside the Fediverse, you can block users and communities, but not whole instances, which while drastic, might sometimes be for the best. While I do trust we all choose our instances with care and their admins do defederate from instances that could be harmful to us, it is always useful to know how to protect yourself on a user level.

    So here is a quick and simple tutorial on blocking out posts and comments from any Lemmy instance as needed using uBlock Origin. (Note: While this certainly applies to Desktop, some Firefox Android ports do allow uBlock Origin installation, so this applies there too.)

    First, go to your uBlock Origin Dashboard (the gears at the bottom corner when you click the extension), then head to My filters, and once there add the following: !Block posts and comments from a certain instance !Substitute my.instance and blocked.instance with each respective instance url my.instance##.post-listing:has(*:matches-attr(href=/.*@blocked\.instance/)) my.instance##.comment:has(*:matches-attr(href=/.*@blocked\.instance/))

    EDIT: You can also use a more efficient post and comment filter by @ShittyKopper here.

    That is all, I hope this is helpful to some of you, stay safe out there!

    Can we defederate from hexbear.net?
  • Thanks! For anyone that wants something that will block posts and comments do the following in uBlock Settings -> My Filters:

    your.instance##.post-listing:has(*:matches-attr(href=/.*@blockedinstance\.domain/))
    your.instance##.comment:has(*:matches-attr(href=/.*@blockedinstance\.domain/))
    

    In this case from blahaj to hexbear:

    lemmy.blahaj.zone##.post-listing:has(*:matches-attr(href=/.*@hexbear\.net/))
    lemmy.blahaj.zone##.comment:has(*:matches-attr(href=/.*@hexbear\.net/))
    

    Edit to add this will also make sure it doesn't remove posts that just have the instance in the title, just posts from the instance.

  • Hexbear Discussion Round 2
  • If you want my honest opinion, tolerating tankies is not worth whatever kind of project you want to build. I think we should unite forces with trans people on trans issues sure, but giving a platform to tankies ain't it. They'll poison discussions, as they already have, name-call and take-over whatever thread they do not like. They like to put on a nice face to avoid being deferated, but I doubt it'll last.

  • Hexbear Discussion Round 2
  • That is a fair point, though, as a Catalan anarchist, as much as I believe in the unity of the left, I cannot and will not collaborate or tolerate tankies, history knows we tried that in times of need and it did not work out.

  • Google seems to be blocking API access for Piped video servers
  • uBlock Origin is really all you need for blocking ads, if you also wanna deal with the whole sponsors on videos SponsorBlock is a good companion!

  • Can we defederate from hexbear.net?
  • If I may ask, how do you do so with uBlock? Haven't found any info on filtering instances as a user

  • PSA: Use version control
  • I have seen people use Google Drive during a jam, as a team, I was flabbergasted! I was in charge of the git repo and quality control of our code in one of my biggest projects and I cannot begin to praise git enough. Git blame, feature branches and rollbacks have saved our team's bacon a bunch of times. 10/10 advice, do make sure to start using it yesterday.

  • As a transbian, Cis women and Lesbian Spaces scare me
  • Transphobia in lesbian spaces is there I'm afraid, I feel like it is somewhat there, even if in a ""non-malignant"" kind of way, in any space with cis people just by virtue of societal values and a long list of etceteras. Best advice I can give, if possible find a space that is explicitly trans-inclusive, not just LGBTQ, but Trans in particular, you'll have more of a chance of lesbians there being more open and experienced being around trans people, not a silver bullet by any means, but it'll be a bit better.

    So yeah, trust me can relate, we are all together climbing this mountain, just make sure you stop from time to time to rest at some safe spaces, we'll provide some needed break and some virtual hugs and support, best of luck to you in the climb sister!
