I too am desperate for gestures configuration.

I have used swiping in Apollo solely to move back / forward and find myself accidentally hiding or upvoting things as well. Swiping from the left screen edge works somewhat reliably to go back, but still is very inconvenient because it requires such a precise input I am not used to.

How to get engagement on the internet:

• post interesting, quality content ❌

• post false information to bait people into correcting you ✅

There is also a release notes link next to each update, which I personally find more convenient

My biggest gripe is that the all feed is not actually the all feed from across the fediverse, but a feed from all instances your instance is federated with. I understand why that is the case, but the fediverse really lacks a way to explore beyond your walled garden and its natural bias. Essentially this acts a mandatory content filter that I have not set up or opted in to, which I personally object to. I have the tools to show and hide what content I want to see, I don’t need it pre selected for me. Or at least give the the additional option to see a feed of all instances and communities across Lemmy / the fediverse I have not personally blocked or filtered out.

I am still a bit miffed the name was changed at all, I liked the uniqueness of wefwef. The new one feels very generic in comparison

You don’t need “an opinion” on that, it’s a simple fact for decades now. The polish people are largely devout christians, voting religious right wingers and populists into office. They in turn weaken the polish democracy to further secure their power.

Im a big Trek fan and don’t hate the name, but I found wefwef much more unique and memorable.

What is the reason you switched off that name?

You will need to make a new one.

Personally I recently did the same because lemmy.world didn’t commit to defederating meta and I didn’t want to stay there, but I am not very happy on .ml either, I get an insane amount of tankie crap on the all feed now and apparently no more nsfw posts.

I’m an anti capitalist myself but I strongly oppose the idea that someone preselects what communities are visible to me, on .world it felt much more organic and well rounded.

Ultimately I will just have to make my own instance i suppose.

As a former “text book” leftist I am inclined to agree that good will alone is not enough for humanity in its current state to operate a society on, and that many current day leftists are wearing the same rose tinted goggles for the USSR and China that the right wears for the 50s.

We need both incentives as well as strict limits to remain within healthy behavior at large, otherwise we end up with apathetic full time unemployed people on the lower end as well as cancerous outgrowths like individuals possessing billions, living like feudal lords of medieval times.

Incentives tied to employment in the current form are not practical any more though. With continuing industrialization, automation, and the emergence of artificial intelligence on the horizon the economies of the world simply don’t need those people as workers any more. This leads to the UBI as the next logical conclusion to provide the consumer base our economies depend on with disposable income to participate as well as a means of securing their essential needs. This then means the incentive must be different, personal ideas are to tie the UBI to the individual being at least x hours per month engaged in some kind of productive and/or creative outlet, be it education, community work, pursuing interests, or some other form of value provided to society based on the individual‘s interests and abilities.

Basically the Star Trek federation philosophy of personal improvement (enhanced with some basic incentive to participate), mixed with the communist idea of assigning professions based on ability, except with the individual freedom to choose instead. Do something worthwhile, and if it’s just pursuing a hobby, and thats good enough.

As someone not into the hobby (although I have a cookie cutter mechanical keyboard), what is the point of having that few keys? Portability? Otherwise i find it more cumbersome than efficient having to constantly use modifiers to access the full range of keys I might want to press.

Edit: this was meant as a reply to the guy with a 60% keyboard

If the tech were to be made widely available I would welcome it very much. There are plenty of spaces where people really shouldn’t be filming, mainly the gym, that would benefit from a passive and mandatory camera deactivation for all smartphones.

On the other hand, giving this to the government or law enforcement obviously is a massive breach of civil rights and the citizen’s ability to exercise control over their public servants.

Great release, finally I can curate my feed better. One thing is missing I didn’t realize before though, could you add the option to also filter whole instances?

This isn’t strictly necessary but for example the lemy.nl communities are extremely active to the point I see half a dozen posts from them in direct succession on the all feed and that’s good for them, but i don’t speak dutch. I have no use for articles and news discussion in dutch. And since it is a bit tedious filtering every community manually, being able to filter out whole instances would be very useful.
