  • Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

    Jump

  • How do you know who you're defederating with? When I set up my instance, the list of federated instances was thousands. How do you know which one is scraping the data?

  • Admin access means nothing if you can set up your own instance in an afternoon, federate with everything, then get all the votes copied to your database. I have done this just to prove it could be done, btw.

  • My neighbor is moving and their trailer is parked pretty sketchy. Should I say something?

    Jump

  • My family had a trailer growing up and ours was stolen from in front of our house. It was never found.

  • My mom got run into by a trailer that was rolling down a hill. Luckily my mom decided she was a superhero that day and was able to push the trailer to the curb to stop it from rolling down any further (it was a pretty steep hill). She got away with only a broken ankle.

    So I say yeah. Tell them.

  • Maga Man X on the SNES. I still vividly remember the first time I ever beat a boss in it, too. I remember running out of my room to look down the loft to the living room area and screamed to my mom that I finally beat Chill Penguin. She wasn't impressed. I immediately went back to my room and beat another boss. Then another. After probably a couple of years of just dying over and over, something clicked that day, and I was able to beat all the bosses. And I have been hooked on gaming ever since.

  • What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?

    Jump

  • I just got 100% on Nier Automata, and I only loved it more as I played it more. Usually I hate any grinding in any game and will either skip any content that requires grinding, use mods to bypass it, or just put down the game and move on to another one. But the whole game just felt so damn good. I could just walk around for hours doing nothing because the movement felt so good.

    There was quite a bit of grinding, but I didn't find any of it too bad. I got 100% in about 50 hours, which is my sweet spot. Any longer and I feel like the game is dragging on.

  • I think the devs like this design. They are currently contemplating making votes public for everyone. There is a discussion on their GitHub about it. They opened the discussion and asked if the users want to make all votes visible on the UI. If it happens, I will probably stop voting altogether.

  • Yes.

    Hell, one of the lead contributors to Lemmy and an admin of lemmy.ml is like this. If that person sees you say anything negative about China, you instantly get banned.

  • If I'm understanding what you're saying then yes, you are wrong about this.

    I hosted my own instance and was able to see the usernames of people who voted on communities that were not hosted on my instance. To prove my point, I had posted the list of votes on a comment that was claiming it was impossible to do this.

  • Yes, as the other person said, you need to be an admin or mod. As an admin, you have raw database access. I crafted an SQL query using a couple of joins of I think 3 tables, and I was able to provide a comment or post ID, and it would return a list of people who have upvoted or downvoted it.

    The problem is though that anyone can be an admin. You could set up your own instance and do this if you want.

  • Votes being public is one of my main turn offs of Lemmy. Anyone can host their own instance that federates with everyone and peek inside the database and see everything you've ever up voted or downvoted. I have personally done this just to confirm my suspicions that it is possible. I don't vote on a lot of things I otherwise would because I don't want people making assumptions about me. For example, if I see a copy/paste bot spamming a pro trans comment, even though I agree with the message, I might want to downvote because it is a spam bot. But I'm afraid that if someone sees that comment in a list of my downvotes without any context, they will incorrectly think I'm transphobic.

  • "PSA: Update Vaultwarden as soon as possible"

    Jump

  • sudo systemctl restart vaultwarden.service

    Done. :)

    Thanks for the heads up.

  • I'm working on a screenplay for a remake of Castaway, but I'm considering not using a volleyball this time. Give me your best casting ideas for which inanimate object should play Wilson.

  • Krafton acquires Tango Gameworks and Hi-Fi Rush IP from Xbox

    Jump

  • I read that by the time MS acquired Tango and Hi-Fi Rush was released, most of the developers and management had already quit, so MS basically only owned the IP anyway. Tango allegedly had nothing in the pipeline, and the few people who were left were working on nothing, and there were no leads to start the process of developing a new game.

    Not sure how true it is, but in that case it would make some sense to just shut down the studio, because the alternative would be essentially starting a studio from scratch.

    Of course, this begs the question of why all these developers left. I can speak from experience a bit here. When it was announced that a small company I worked for was acquired by a mega corporation, everyone quit because the company we were being acquired by had a reputation of being a horrible, toxic workplace. This is obviously just speculation, but I could see something similar happening here.

  • is there a trustworthy SMS MMS app for Android that's not Google?

    Jump

  • That's my main problem with Signal. They refuse to add features because they can't be perfect. I damaged my old phone beyond it being usable and got a new one. Now it's impossible for me to get my conversation history, because the only way to keep it is to do a backup in the app and then manually move the backup file, then restore it on your new phone. Oh, but you can't backup and then restore to your laptop. That would be crazy talk. It's impossible to get your conversation history to your laptop.
