Technically it’s not a rule of Lemmy but the instance rules that forbid this.

We are indeed owned by the billionaire class. It’s their country. We live in it.

I consider Lemmy to be more pseudonymous. Which is to say, I am practically anonymous to most users, but it wouldn’t take much for someone with resources to pester my instance into giving up my IP.

The content of my posts, comments, and votes is intentionally public information.

No special rules. Just be mindful of your instance rules and community rules, but I myself have never run into surprising edge cases.

The rules for your post are the union of:

  • The instance hosting your account to which you agreed when you registered.
  • The instance hosting the community to which you are posting, which all communities on that instance are supposed to follow.
  • The rules of that community.

It’s like posting to a mailing list. You have to obey the rules of your email provider, the service hosting the mailing list, and the list itself. That’s about it. In practice, this works very well and mostly reduces to the rules of the community which are conveniently provided in the sidebar or community description.

Such beautiful nuance. I wonder how many of these things have been lost with globalization.

What a shithole.

My great grandfather was a hero. He along with others discovered the cure for fascism, and he helped so many poor souls afflicted by this terrible disease.

However, I don’t believe he foresaw the possibility that it could become a family tradition. I certainly hope not, but things are going to get so much worse.

We still have a USDA? Interesting. Could’ve sworn they would consider that non-critical functions.

Well yes. The government is collapsing and no longer values its own secrets unless they personally impact a handful of billionaires.

Plus, its own leadership includes its enemies. The government as we know it is in its death throws if not already dead.

Glad to see our representatives are willing to reach across the aisle and can all agree that they should fuck us over.

And they’re supposed to know what the sign says? You think these people can read?

Just imagine what we could do if we cared for our planet and all the creatures that live here, including other humans.

I often manually choose English every time I post, but do I actually have to do this? Does this affect the ability of other users to view my posts, or am I wasting my time by taking this extra step on most posts and comments?

 

Google can't make a move in 2025 without veering into the realm of generative AI, and the release of the Pixel 9a is no exception. Curiously, the AI experience on this phone may not match what you've seen from the company's high-end smartphones. Google has confirmed to Ars that the phone's lower memory prevented it from implementing the full suite of Pixel AI features. You can still talk to Gemini by holding the power button or opening the Gemini app, but the on-device Gemini Nano model has seen a downgrade on the 9a.

 

A new study reveals that thousands of Android apps covertly collect location data using Bluetooth and WiFi beacons, allowing continuous tracking and profiling of users without explicit consent.

Phone makers need to collectively decide how we approach SIM cards going forward. The current state of eSIMs is an absolute mess, so we either need to ditch the idea of the eSIM-only future, or the big companies need to partner to solve this once and for all.

 
  • Android 16 is on track for its June release, a departure from Google's usual August releases.
  • Google's President of the Android ecosystem confirmed to Android Police it's on track for its target.
  • Google has switched to Trunk Stable development, allowing it to release Android updates earlier.
 

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite promises big things for late 2024 and 2025 flagship smartphones. From a new custom CPU to unrivaled graphics performance, photography, and enhanced AI capabilities, it’s the chip that claims to do it all, and, for the most part, it does. However, our initial impressions of the chip have been tainted by exceedingly high temperatures when placed under stress.

 

According to our source, those purchasing the Google Pixel 9a will get Fitbit Premium for 6 months, YouTube Premium for 3 months and Google One 100GB for 3 months. This is similar to the freebies that Google offered for the rest of the Pixel 9 series.

I feel like this isn't all that interesting news though because I thought trials were commonly included with new Android phones.
