Thanks for sharing. The default launcher on my phone is terrible and I hate having to move to different layouts every time I switch phones (which only happens every 5+ years, but is still annoying) so I have been using Nova for many years.
Just turned off its internet access on both data and wifi, let's see if it complains about it.
As a note: I can see that it only transfered a few hundred kilobytes in the past month, which isn't a lot, but it's still more than zero.

Likely NT here, but meditation is awesome. Sometimes when I am particularly stressed or overwhelmed it's kinda hard to get in the right state of mind, it's as if I forget how easy it is to meditate, but when it does click it makes everything that much more simple.
Highly recommended to anyone going through rough times or even people who are fine but would like to have their brain shut up for a little while.

Da quel che so per poter giocare a un titolo su Yuzu o Ryujinx devi possedere una switch moddata e una copia del gioco (sì, è possibile anche trovare copie pirata online, ma gli sviluppatori fanno il possibile per scoraggiare la pratica). Quindi no, l'argomentazione che possa essere illegale mi sembra stupida e credo sia solo un caso di Nintendo che fa cose da Nintendo.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't follow EU politics at the time of the last election, but didn't she campaign on green-deal policies for her first term? I remember reading about this somewhere. So moving away from that and closer to ECR would be quite the shift.
www.politico.eu
> The European Commission president hinted Wednesday she would be open, after the European election in June, to working with some politicians in the European Conservatives and Reformists grouping > “The cut-off line is ‘do you stand for democracy?’, ‘do you defend our values?’, ‘are you very firm in the rule of law?’, ‘are you supporting Ukraine’ and ‘are you fighting against Putin’s attempt to weaken and divide Europe?’And these answers have to be very clear” With the projected increase in seats from ECR and ID, this shouldn't be surprising to anyone, however EPP getting closer to ECR isn't exactly the best of looks. To me, this sends a clear message that, as Renew falls off due to Macron's impopularity, the EPP is trying to gain more right wing seats by disregarding integration further down the line and possibly adopting more populistic policies.

LMAO. As much as restrictions of this kind suck, at least DNS makes more sense than IP without any transparency.
It really does sound like whoever came up with the IP solution had no idea of what the hell they were talking about.

I mean, you shouldn't stay on here if you don't like it, that goes without saying, but I think all in all the benefits outweight the few very annoying issues that this platform has. For instance, I think that the smaller number of people tend to mean that if you leave a comment somewhere you are likely to find someone to chat with and discuss whatever it is that you brought up in your comment.
Often times on Reddit there are so many comments that you either blow up getting over 20 replies or get forgotten and ignored. No inbetweens.

Do they? I think most of Lemmy still prefers online freedom, it should be one of the reasons that brought us here. Plus, the people you are gonna meet even by changing instance are going to be more or less the same. The number of instances you are barred from by staying on .world is pretty small.

You know, in a way I am glad that we managed to implement such a piss poor implementation of a PiRaCy ShIeLd. They are going to have to roll back or disable this piece of crap in a matter of days and that will hopefully be the end of these silly internet restrictions for good.
Had the implementation not sucked ass this bad, we would have needed to wait for some EU infringiment procedure or ECJ order to shut it down. Instead, this way it's gonna end way more quickly.

If anything, what's racist is the attitude the researches are showing. Implying a certain person isn't as good as others at something and thus needs assistance, all because of some ethnical characteristics. Uhm... do we have a name for that?

Ahahaha splendida analogia.
Non metto in dubbio i vantaggi di Friendica. Anzi, volendomi avvicinare al mondo del microblogging (dal quale ahimé sono tagliato fuori, usando Lemmy) stavo giusto pensando di aprirmi un'istanza con Friendica, piuttosto che Mastodon. Però personalmente trovo l'UI davvero DAVVERO brutta, è ciò che finora mi ha allontanato dal provarlo.
Se si riuscisse ad avere un backend come l'attuale Friendica e un'UI bella moderna come Soapbox o Misskey sarebbe davvero il meglio dei due mondi.

Mai usato Friendica, ho giusto dato uno sguardo all'API per un'applicazione a cui ho lavorato (wink wink), ma consultando la documentazione ho notato che implementa l'API di Mastodon. Non basterebbe utilizzare uno dei tanti frontend già disponibili per Mastodon? O per caso Friendica ha delle funzionalità in più che non sarebbero disponibili su tali frontend?

That ban has been in place since about as long as smartphones have been a thing. And even regardless of the national ban, generally school forbade them as a local policy.
Doesn't change the fact that nothing will happen if the teacher doesn't act. So TL;DR nothing will change, it will remain up to the teacher like it already was.

Like others have said, the lily you saw are likely related with papal coats of arms. In general, popes often embedded their coats of arms into the monuments and villas they built.
Symbologically speaking, the fleur-de-lys is generally associated with various religious symbols such as the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph and purity in general, which is why we find them so often in heraldry (like you said the Bourbon coat of arms but even before then it's always been a symbol of France since the Frankish king Clovis' conversion), the Italian city of Florence, the French city of Lille, the British House of Lancaster and an uncountable number of Italian comuni.

Huh. Different instances, I guess. I generally don't browse by all, but on my feed most news were non-US (mostly Europe although quite a few about Asia as well). But then again my instance is pretty tiny and definitely isn't federated with most large communities, so my perspective might be skewed.
To get a better view of the general content on Lemmy maybe we should look at the all feeds of lemm.ee or lemmy.world which, now that I look at them, are indeed quite US centric. So I guess it was just my perspective.

Matured? Really? I guess you haven't had a taste of the defederation drama. Users are great, but discussion between admins feel like the constant bickering of small children. And I say this as an admin myself, who at times does take part in those discussions. I think we still have a long way to go, when it comes to being matured.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10937558 > This group of Americans is less likely to have a license than its older counterparts at the same age. McKinsey points out that in 1997, 43 percent of 16-year-olds and 62 percent of 17-year-olds held a license. But those numbers have dropped substantially, and by 2020, only 25 percent of 16-year-olds and 45 percent of 17-year-olds have a driver's license, the consulting firm said citing data from the U.S. Federal Highway Administration. Rare Gen Z W (as a Gen Z). I thought this was mainly an European movement, but looking at this it appears that the USA too, despite being a mostly car oriented country, is following suit. Nice. The article also mentions how having a car might have become too expensive for many, which isn't something to party about, but I am mostly concerned with young people no longer rushing to grab a licence the second they turn 18 (or earlier, depending on local country laws). Hopefully this will help shaping urban planning in a more sensible and humane direction.

A few months ago I [released](https://lemmy.basedcount.com/post/113726) the Defederation Investigator, a tool to verify the federation status of Lemmy instances. With this new update, I've expanded it to support multiple Fediverse softwares, including: - Mastodon - Misskey - Mbin - Pleroma & Akkoma - Friendica  This works both ways: you can verify which Mastodon (et al) instances have defederated your Lemmy instance, as well as check the federation status of an instance running any of the supported softwares. Like most of my works, this tool is FOSS and available on my team's [GitHub](https://github.com/basedcount/defed-investigator). # Limitations Many microblogging platforms, Mastodon included, offer admins the possibility of hiding their blocklists from the public. As it turns out many instances have chosen this approach, so the available information can be pretty limited at times. Also, this update has increased the pool of instances from a couple hundred to over 2 thousand, so query times have increased significantly. You can reduce them by deselecting some softwares from the query page (hint: most fedi instances are Mastodon ones, so by deselcting them you'll cut out over half of the pool). # What about Kbin? To my knowledge, Kbin doesn't share its federation status through an API like most softwares do. Furthermore, given recent events, I have little faith in the Kbin project. Instead, I chose to support its community driven fork: Mbin. # What about Peertube and Pixelfed? I tried looking through their API docs and wasn't able to find any endpoints sharing either federation or defederation statuses. If anyone is familiar with any of these softwares and has any ideas on what to do to retrieve such information feel free to contact me, I'd love to add support for both. # What about ...? Want more softwares? Feel free to propose them. I'd like for this tool to support as many projects as possible.

You've read it right, flairs are finally here. No longer will you have to endure cringe and based opinions alike, in a vast and boring sea of flairlessness. No longer will you have to _actually read_ someone's take, to be able to judge them. I bring you... **THE FUNNI COLOURS**. [@Atalocke@lemmy.basedcount.com](https://lemmy.basedcount.com/u/Atalocke) and I have been hard at work on this feature for the last couple months and we're so glad to finally see it live. There is, however, an asterisk. For the time being, only users from our instance (lemmy.basedcount.com) can see and set user flairs, as this feature doesn't propagate through federation. As such, users from other instances (less than half of the [!pcm@lemmy.basedcount.com](https://lemmy.basedcount.com/c/pcm) userbase) won't notice any changes. My next project will be bringing support for user flairs to other instances through a browser extension, but that'll probably take me some time. Of course, if you want the _full PCM experience™️_ you can always open an account here (wink wink). In the meantime, enjoy your funni colours, pcm. Stay based and flair the fuck up.
Hear ye hear ye, Based Count folks, the [@AutoMod](https://lemmy.basedcount.com/u/AutoMod) bot developed by yours truly is now active on the instance! Before you ask: no, it has no bullshit rules to discriminate users based on their account age, karma or anything like that. This bot moderates content, not people. While it has multiple features, the main one is the automated removal of posts and comments according to custom rules set by community moderators. If you're a **user** this doesn't really affect you, I just wanted to put a PSA out there. If you're a **mod** in one of our communities and want me to add the AutoMod to yours, feel free to ask. Here are the [repository](https://github.com/ornato-t/lemmy-automoderator) and [documentation](https://github.com/ornato-t/lemmy-automoderator/wiki) for the nerds out there that do care about this. And of course if you are not a moderator but would like to create a community on our instance you can head over to our [pinned thread](https://lemmy.basedcount.com/post/117712) in the [!announcements@lemmy.basedcount.com](https://lemmy.basedcount.com/c/announcements) community and submit your proposal.

## Context As you probably now, Hexbear is a fairly large leftist instance, whose users are notorious for being very loud in the communities of every instance they federate with. For a long time they blocked all instances, preferring to remain isolated. Recently, however, they have started allowing some large instances into their allow list. Yesterday they expanded said list by including the popular [sh.itjust.works](https://sh.itjust.works) (SJW) instance. - ["Regarding Hexbear" post by the SJW admins](https://lemmy.basedcount.com/post/187932) Some Hexbear users immediately jumped on the train by creating posts in [!main@sh.itjust.works](https://sh.itjust.works/c/main) making sure everyone was aware of their presence and calling out what they thought was bigotry on SJW's side: - [Example 1](https://sh.itjust.works/post/4245984) - Example 2, the post included in the meme, now removed Currently, there's people on both sides calling for mutual defederation, as one Hexbear sees the other party as ["bigoted" and "politically illiterate infants"](https://hexbear.net/post/497935) while many people on SJW are [just tired of the political spam](https://sh.itjust.works/post/4279462). Where do we stand in this mess? Comfortably on the sidelines, enjoying the popcorn while it lasts.
Unlike a _certain platform with an orange logo_, we aren't keen on sheltering pedophiles. During your stay on Based Count, feel free to make as many wood chipper jokes as you deem necessary.
