What I like about the Gadsden flag, as opposed to this one -- according to how I interpret it, anyways -- is that it advocates for the use of one's voice before violence. The main symbol on the Gadsden flag is a timber rattlesnake. If you think about such a rattlesnake in nature, when you get too close to them, or provide them with a reason to feel wary, or uncomfortable they won't immediately attack you, but will instead provide you with an auditory, nonviolent warning. It's only when one ignores their warnings, and continues to harass the snake, or give them a reason to think that they are under immediate threat of harm that they will fight back, and will not hesitate to do so. In all other circumstances, the rattlesnake will mind it's own business, and let you do the very same. I find this behaviour admirable of a creature, and it is, in my opinion, the true ethos of libertarianism. The Canada goose, on the other hand, won't hesitate to harass you. they will routinely attack people just relaxing in a park. They provide little warning to someone that they find threatening, and will often choose to immediately strike out. This is not behaviour that should be emulated, or admired, in my opinion.

I subconsciously tried wiping my screen.

I've found that the only way to dual boot reliably is to have windows installed on a separate, dedicated drive, and to keep all drives used by Linux air-gapped from the windows drive. Fast start and hibernate must also be disabled within windows to prevent it from putting hardware in an undefined state.

That being said, I haven't actually found any regular use for the windows install in years. mostly just keep it around as a sort of backup failsafe, or just in case there is a game that refuses to work in Linux. 99 times out of 100 it simply just collects dust.

They're viewable on Lemmy too!

 

Update

I have been trying to fight off 4 people attacking the picture, and I cannot keep up on my own. I will certainly be willing to keep trying if anyone in this thread tells me that they want to help, but, if not, I cannot continue if these griefers keep at it.

I don't understand how so many people can be so vehemently against the mere idea of freedom, and liberty. Why would one willingly prefer to be oppressed?


Original Post

I've plotted out an area at ~(226,206) on the Canvas (it's community can be found at !canvas@toast.ooo) for the Gadsden Flag. I'm using this image as a reference (I drew it by using a scaled down version of this svg that I found as a reference, and drawing over it like a stencil in gimp. It's not amazing, but I think it does the trick.). The reference is placed with a horizontal position of 129, a vertical position of 163, and a width of 117.

 
  1. Show the timer for all the succeeding stacked pixels. Currently, you can only see the timer for the first pixel. I propose that the timer should be shown for all of the pixels in the stack, and not only the first.
  2. A neat feature that r/place had was that you could click on a pixel and see the username of the account that placed it. I propose the same feature.
  3. Consider creating a permanent canvas. It could be neat to see how a large, permanent canvas evolves over a long period of time.

If any of these suggestions require the modification of underlying code, and are not simple config changes, then I will suggest them upstream -- please let me know.

Of course. My inquiry was out of theoretical curiosity, and not so much anything practicaly useful for security, or privacy.

Would it be possible to at least show the total subscribers from all federated instances?

What's the difference between Owncast, and Peertube's livestreaming function?

The comma usage is grammatically correct, as far as I can tell, but the caps-lock is, indeed, horrendous.

From what I can see, Macrodroid does not appear to be opensource, but thank you for the suggestion.

As shown below, it appears that all Firefox tabs are just named "Firefox" within the volume mixer. This doesn't exactly make differentiating them very easy. Is it possible to make the volume mixer show the names of the tabs instead? If not, is there any feature in the works for this that anyone may be aware of?

Forums are an invaluable source of information for countless purposes. Even extremely old forum posts can be a life-saver.

 

I'm not sure how practical/sustainable of a project this would be, but I feel that it could possibly be a useful project in the future if instances begin to purge old content due to storage constaints. The archiving service could store all the data using Object storage to archive it in read only. That way, at least people can still view old content in the possible scenario of rampant data loss across the Fediverse.

If you look next to the user's name in a comment when viewing through the Lemmy Web UI you'll see the following: What is this?

 

On Reddit, one frequently runs into posts that are archived, and thus the user cannot interract with them anymore -- motive is stated here. I'm curious if Lemmy would ever do the same.

 

Can you see if a moderator has removed comments from a thread? Can you see the content of the removed comments? Are moderators able to specify motive for the specific removal?

 

I just recently noticed the following button in the comment section:

Clicking it appears to make the comments look somewhat like what you see on Mastodon, but I'm a little unsure about it's exact format. Is it only showing parent comments? Is it showing parent and child comments all mixed together? If so, in what order? Is it in order of when the comment was added? If it does show child comments, is it possible to see that child's context?

This is, of course, assuming that the instance is not hosted on the same network that the device your account is using is accessing it from.
