So these guys just send plain text emails to each other saying "Hey Jeff we're plotting to overthrow Putin. Here are the names of my co-conspirators. Wanna help?" and they don't consider this kind of a stupid thing to do?
They did discussed things like murders and rapes in the same manner, just a feeling of complete impunity. And lo and behold, they were correct, nobody was and nobody is gonna get prosecuted over this under liberal capitalist system.
Not to mention it was not exactly secret to anyone except western libs that Ponomarev is puppet of west even back then, and look where he is now.
Speaking about these things to publicly and with so little regard to safety is only possible because they are part of the system’s inner core.
If they were leftists they would be raided and “suicided” much earlier. They would have to resort to cryptic secretive messages passed by idk rats, even to discuss dinner plans.
The libs are truly the most propagandized people to ever live on this planet. They embody everything they project onto people living in China and DPRK.
It sucks to hear that a project like LFS is forced to drop System V support. I never was a fan of systemd, so this is a bit dissapointing, albeit understandable.
From the mail it doesn't exactly look like "upstream dependencies on systemd" but rather like a lack of features in sysvinit:
The second reason for dropping System V is that packages like GNOME and soon KDE's Plasma are building in requirements that require capabilities in systemd that are not in System V. This could potentially be worked around with another init system like OpenRC, but beyond the transition process it still does not address the ongoing workload problem.
So it seems a bit like sysvinit is simply a dead end and there is definitively not enough manpower for a transition to openrc/elogind/whatever...and it's a good chance to consolidate the exiting workforce on a single version. Sounds all pretty reasonable to me. But it can't really serve as example for systemd being an absolute requirement even for LFS now and them being "forced" to use it.
This doesn't bode well for Slackware's next release. One approach currently discussed on the forums is to remove KDE from the repos and let the community support it. But that would drastically change what Slackware is - It's supposed to be a fully-featured general purpose distro that you can boot up and immediately get to work, whatever your use case is.
This post isn't about the switch to Wayland, it's about the switch to systemd. Gnome hasn't been included in Slackware for a very long time. And KDE on Slackware already runs a Wayland session by default.
Wow, that surprises me. I did LFS with Sys-V (didn't continue to use it after I set up X11 as I couldn't be bothered with package maintenance/mostly did it as an exercise rather than for the sake of the finished system) and found it a fun project.
I wonder how many LFS users use GNOME or something that depends on systemd...
The distro whose goal is education and customization drops support for the easier to understand and lighter init system out of lack of maintainability in service of accommodating the new stuff big desktop environments are doing.
Welcome to the Year of the Linux Desktop. See you all on FreeBSD in 2027.
My tiny pebble of help won’t hold back the tides of the desktop environments carving the myriad packages that make up linux into what they need at the behest of whoever keeps their maintainers in new shoes.
Even if it could, choosing the de over the init system in lfs shows where the priorities lie. To quote the linked mailing list message, the decision has to be made. Individual people who see that as a worse path can’t change a thing.
Organizing with people who also want it done, like the systemd people did at the behest of their employer to solve one of its many problems selling linux as a centrally manageable replacement for their competitors’ products.
At some point we have to acknowledge the elephant in the room using an elephant sized lathe and an army of paid workers to shape linux. The days when people could band together and make decisions about the future of this operating system have been over for over fifteen years now.
and you address that by finding the people who also want it done and deciding how you are gonna find the solution to your problem. there is definetly not a shortage of groups forking of old DEs and maintaining them for years.
the people behind systemd found someone to pay them for it, and seem to attract most of the people and companies interested in working on it.
my suspicion is that there just ain't enough people interested in other systems.
Poettering famously began work on systemd while at red hat in order to solve red hats problems.
The people behind systemd didn’t find someone to pay them for their work, they were already employed working for a company in the enterprise linux market and created a software package explicitly aimed at solving enterprise linuxs’ problems because linux was looking bad in comparison to the very mature windows server administration environment.
It’s why systemd has insane feature creep and why back when it was announced literally everyone not on the payroll said “what, why the fuck would I want that? RH BTFO”
Systemd attracts the most people willing to work on init because those people are being paid to do so by companies that sell linux. The companies that sell linux want systemd because its the enterprise solution and if their software or hardware integrates well into the systemd process then they can make money by making lots of sales to people who either work out of or run gigantic datacenters.

This isn’t a case of the best solution with the most democratic support being funded by benevolent community focused businesses (who yes, do make a tidy sum but that’s how the cookie crumbles!), it’s a case of a system exactly like windows getting built by the employees of a company who wants it so it can advertise feature parity with windows in its products!
what's the problem with wanting feature parity with windows? linux does lack some management features and standardization that could help it quite a lot.
i'm ok with them selling linux support for corporations, as long as they contribute their additions back to us because this is what made linux as good as it is in the first place.
At no point have I leveled a critique of feature parity or the idea of selling support.
I am explaining in exhaustive (to me) detail how the phenomenal commercial backing that systemd had and still has makes it a ridiculous suggestion that someone could simply maintain sysv the same as people have maintained and developed systemd.
If I love sysv so much I can’t maintain it the same as systemd because I’m not a team of experts being paid to work on it full time!
The contribution of systemd back into the open source community can’t even be without ill outcome because it has replaced simple and easy to understand sysv in the very distribution whose goal is teaching!
As someone whose comprehension of how a computer goes from a complex collection of inert electronic components to a running, functional system comes from building lfs back in the day: that’s bad!

We were allowed to freely live within the castle walls and are anbout to lose the understanding of how to build thatched roof huts and split rail fences because of it.
If you want to see this process play out again, leaving you in the unenviable position of old man trying desperately to explain history to people who just charitably accept the present as a given, take note of wayland development, gnome decisions like tilting at middle click and see who is spearheading those changes and whomst they are paid by.
In ten years you’ll be using windows without a functional micro kernel wondering what happened.
Some people don't understand that systemd isn't the only init system, not even just the only init with modern features. We have runit, OpenRC, s6, dinit, each with very levels of features. The reason there is no real competitor to what systemd does is because it is "cheating", and by that I mean systemd isn't just an init system. It has major scope creep, trying to do everything. It isn't even the best at doing what all the other software it replaces (like DNS, time, etc). What it offers that is irresistible to developers is unifications and abstractions which make developing for Linux simpler. This though is the exact opposite of what many people love about Linux: the option to pick and choose.
Hello I'm a Linux newbie and I need some help. I'm running fedora on my laptop and I want to connect my Logitech mouse. I got solaar installed but I need to manually install the udev rule. I'm following the Instructions here
So I understand that I need to copy rules.d/42-logitech-unify-permissions.rules from the solaar GitHub and place it in /etc/udev/rules.d the thing I don't know how to do is get there. I'm not super familiar with the terminal
Solaar appears to be available through the Fedora package manager. Among other reasons, using the package manager is preferred because it gives you a mechanism to remove it cleanly, including any system changes such as the udev rule
I did install it through the package manager. For some reason though my Logitech mouse doesn't come up on solaar. When I was looking for a reason I found something about the udev and thought that's what I had to do, I didn't realize I was reading mac stuff 😅
Not even the unifying receiver seems to show up in solaar. When I plug it in I get a notification saying Logitech unifying receiver has been plugged in on my task bar. But then I open solaar and it's just a blank window. I also tried it on my other PC that's running bazzite and it's the exact same thing. I also had 2 unifying receivers and I tried them both just to rule out a broken dongle.
Yes I did, even tried a different PC which is why I think It might be the hardware. I might see if my buddy from work can plug it into his windows PC to see if it works. That way I can definitely know if it's a hardware issue.
I tried every USB port, they all detect when the dongle is plugged in but solaar just displays a blank window. I even tried it on my other Linux PC and it had the exact same thing happen . I also had a second dongle so I plugged it in to time rule that the dongle was broken.
Tried those things, no luck. And no other Logitech things around to connect too. I'm starting to think it might just be a hardware issue. It's a mouse and keyboard I haven't used for a while.
I honestly don't know much about terminal, how could I go about doing that? I'm pretty sure this is exactly my problem. I had stumbled on this Reddit thread when looking for a solution. But someone here pointed out that the link lsd_ninja provided was for MAC so I thought I must've been on the wrong track. I know I have to copy the file from the GitHub. I just don't know how to get to the location where it goes.
Yeah, I was relieved to see that. I would have boycott Save-On if they did sell to ICE, but it would have sucked as I like some of their Western Family products.

I have noted in other threads and will note again here because people keep attacking me about this: hardcoding does not mean the behavior is not circumventable. It just means the string is in the source file (rather than a config file or database).
This has come up before. Hopefully you're just not understanding the code, rather than deliberately misrepresenting it to others. Even a casual scan should clue people in to the fact that the linked function isn't concerned with federation blocks (the same list that 'enoughmuskspam' is in also contains 'memes' and 'piracy', which every PieFed instance has without any overrides required).
I'll copy-paste my comment from last time (I can't link to it 'cos is was in reply to a deleted post). The first 2 paras are the most relevant bits:
The code that OP has linked to is part of a convenience function for admins to add content to their new instances. It can query individual remote instances (e.g. lemmy.world), or it can query lemmyverse.net, and fetch communities that look to be popular and active.
It’s completely unrelated to routine federation, and doesn’t prevent anyone subscribing to communities that may have those words in their names.

The admin function could potentially be used to fetch hundreds of communities. It runs as a background process, so you don’t know what they were until after they’d been followed. The “bad words” list acts as a safeguard against bringing in things you might not want or expect. One reason is that you may want to curate the first impression you give new visitors, as there as some that will be put off by the “fuck this” and “shitpost that” reddit-isms. Another is that you don’t typically want communities that are disproportionately popular than others (e.g. if you bring in the default 25 communities, and one of is 196, then it completely dominate your front page).
If there’s a particular community that you are interested in (e.g. because you moderate it), using this function isn’t an efficient way to add it. In addition to the “bad words” filters, it will also exclude communities that are NSFW, or below thresholds for popularity and activity. Rather than fetching a bunch of communities at the same time, and hoping that the one you want is included, it’s better to just add it manually (via a ! link or by using the “Add remote community” link) in much the same way as you would on any other platform.

Some of the complaints about hardcoded values were fixed in the last commits, but the code is a spaghetti mess littered with ad-hoc hacks for random whims of the developers. This is bad software design and disrespectful to users imo, but to each their own.
The OP linked to the function with the 'enoughmuskspam' filter in it: it's here (line 352 if it doesn't auto-scroll down).
As mentioned, it's a bulk-community import function, that new admins can optionally use to kick-start a new instance.
The code you've linked to is another convenience function, for users this time, that will optionally add the relevant values to their content filters for the 'All' feed. It's also not a federation block, and it's common enough for fediverse users to want to hide posts about those people that it's value arguably overrides any perceived messiness about 'hard-coding' their names.
Anyone who takes the time to understand PieFed's codebase could find plenty of things to legitimately criticise. To my mind, though, it seems against the social contract around open-sourcing one's hobbyist project, only for people to then be snarky about it online. If there's bits of code th

The frustrating thing about this post, and the (now deleted) post before it, is that someone has taken more time to create some shit meme than they have reading the code they're haphazardly attacking. I've no idea why PieFed has suddenly come under some Lemmy users sights, especially since the whole point of federated social media is that it shouldn't matter what client someone uses, and how much it reeks of "People Front of Judea" bullshit.
It was not meant to be as harsh as it came across. And yes, this function is for logged out users, was just trying to show that it ends up messy.
I assume you’re one of the devs? I can delete the comment if you want, but I think it would be worth fixing sooner than later instead of just adding features. A lot of the mechanisms are a bad idea even if it wasn't a mess but you do you.
that it shouldn't matter what client someone uses
There are a few implementation issues and incompatibilities I saw but not too confident in my knowledge of the protocols to say good fixes. Not sure what the Judas comment means.
I've contributed code to PieFed in the past, but nothing recently. If someone comes across something I've written and finds it amateurish, then that's a reasonable assessment. There's no need for you to delete your comment, as I'm not a fan of features over fixes approach either.
The "People's Front of Judea" remark relates to a Monty Python sketch from the The Life Of Brian (youtube link) - it's a swipe at leftist infighting (swap out "The only people we hate more than the Romans is the Judean's People's Front" with "The only site we hate more than Reddit is PieFed" I suppose).

It's a bug with the latest update that has already been patched. Not sure if piefed.ca has updated their instance in response to it, but this isn't even completely right as lemmy.ca was still returning results for "piracy" in the search.
"So since a few hours ago, when I deployed v1.6, many communities no longer show up in the search. the private value should be true or false but really old communities have it as null"
"Yes, null should be fixed to true or false. I originally added the private column many months ago, with no default value. So now the data is all over the place."
(excerpts from the matrix chat)
OP made some assumptions, got excited and just found a bug.
The "hard" part of "hardcoded" means you have to edit the source directly to make changes (or at runtime via memory editing).
It does not mean "written as part of the source but editable via gui".
Unless there is some other item I'm missing here from a casual glance at common filters included as an example, then yes, you are misunderstanding the term "hardcoded".
How would you go about changing the seven_things_plus variable via the GUI?
You can't. You can get around the filtering by other means, but that doesn't make seven_things_plus any less hardcoded.
Maybe the term hardcoded have some particular negative connotations for you. In that case please explain what that connotation may be.
The correct definition just means data in the code rather than loaded at runtime. It is not necessarily a bad thing (things like unit conversion factors are perfectly reasonable to hardcode). In this case, I'll let everyone judge for themselves if hardcoding 'enoughmuskspam' is acceptable.
This is disturbing. I'm glad I'm on feddit.dk and I saw "my" admin (SorteKanin) in the comments of that "more information here" comment thread pointing out how that shouldn't be hardcoded into the software.
Wow, so I thought having an explicit 4chan block was kinda silly enough, but finding out it works by running OCR on every uploaded image and looking for the words "Anonymous" and "No" is absurdly silly.
What does that mean? Like not defending AES while claiming to be a small-c communist? Or just shitting on both AES efforts and small-c commies? The latter are liberals at best and dogs of the empire. The former provide slop for half of the struggle sessions I see in leftist spaces.
Can't have a real critical conversation with them because they're too caught up in the fever dreams that were pushed on them from the top down. You're too busy defending reality, which in turn drives them into further madness as they perceive it as ~~a defense~~ a conspiracy to deceive them by a paid robotic shill.
Communists are quite critical of China and Russia, we just base those criticisms in reality instead of wild US imperial propaganda. What you've said is no different from when a right winger says "I was banned for a simple difference of opinion." What's the opinion? What's the "criticism"? Because if it's something absurd and offensive with no basis in fact, of course you're going to get pushback. People whose ideology puts a premium on factual analysis and verification tend not to appreciate it when people whose ideology depends on maintaining a false sense of superiority by creating an ambient haze of vague scandal around all alternatives show up and start slinging bullshit around.
Putin's Russia is a nationalist and imperialist state. The Russian army has committed countless war crimes in Ukraine.
The PRC is an authoritarian state with a deeply corrupted party, extreme capitalist culture, and very little regards for individual privacy or rights. It is also engaged in homogenization campaigns suppressing the social and cultural identities of Uyghur people, constituting an ethnocide.
PieFed is promoted by people claiming they want to take influence away from the tankies who support Russia and the PRC. But from the hardcoded behavior discussed in this very thread we can see the PieFed's devs and promoters intend to suppress criticisms against the (countries|institutions|capitalists) who they support, even though these entities have committed no less evil than Russia and the PRC.
Does that satisfy you?
We'll see if I get banned from .ml now (not being snarky. i genuinely am curious to see if they will ban me).

Decide for yourself if you think that community qualifies as low effort, but it isn't a "hardcode" in the way most people think of it. Its just as much of a hardcode as setting default values for any other variable in your function definition.
I appreciate the sentiment. I just don't have the energy to deal with people being mean atm. And for what its worth, I don't agree with my own take on the use of the word hardcoded anymore, I think you were justified to say it is hardcoded.

There are all kinds of fun stuff in the Piefed code. Allow me to dredge up a comment I made recently:
@edie@lemmy.encryptionin.space was looking at PieFed code the other week, and I ended up taking a look at it too. Its great fun to sneak a peak at.
For example, you cannot cast a vote on PieFed if you've made 0 replies, 0 posts, AND your username is 8 characters long:
def cannot_vote(self):
if self.is_local():
return False
return self.post_count == 0 and self.post_reply_count == 0 and len(
self.user_name) == 8 # most vote manipulation bots have 8 character user names and never post any content
If a reply is created, from anywhere, that only contains the word "this", the comment is dropped (CW: ableism in the function name):
def reply_is_stupid(body) -> bool:
lower_body = body.lower().strip()
if lower_body == 'this' or lower_body == 'this.' or lower_body == 'this!':
return True
return False
Every user (remote or local) has an "attitude" which is calculated as follows: (upvotes cast - downvotes cast) / (upvotes + downvotes). If your "attitude" is < 0.0 you can't downvote.
Every account has a Social Credit Score, aka your Reputation. If your account has less than 100 reputation and is newly created, you are not considered "trustworthy" and there are limitations placed on what your account can do. Your reputation is calculated as upvotes earned - downvotes earned aka Reddit Karma. If your reputation is at -10 you also cannot downvote, and you can't create new DMs. It also flags your account automatically if your reputation is to low:
PieFed boasts that it has "4chan image detection". Let's see how that works in practice:
if site.enable_chan_image_filter:
# Do not allow fascist meme content
try:
if '.avif' in uploaded_file.filename:
import pillow_avif # NOQA
image_text = pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open(BytesIO(uploaded_file.read())).convert('L'))
except FileNotFoundError:
image_text = ''
except UnidentifiedImageError:
image_text = ''
if 'Anonymous' in image_text and (
'No.' in image_text or ' N0' in image_text): # chan posts usually contain the text 'Anonymous' and ' No.12345'
self.image_file.errors.append(
"This image is an invalid file type.") # deliberately misleading error message
current_user.reputation -= 1
db.session.commit()
return False
Yup. If your image contains the word Anonymous, and contains the text No. or N0 it will reject the image with a fake error message. Not only does it give you a fake error, but it also will dock your Social Credit Score. Take note of the current_user.reputation -= 1
PieFed also boasts that it has AI generated text detection. Let's see how that also works in practice:
# LLM Detection
if reply.body and '—' in reply.body and user.created_very_recently():
# usage of em-dash is highly suspect.
from app.utils import notify_admin
# notify admin
This is the default detection, apparently you can use an API endpoint for that detection as well apparently, but it's not documented anywhere but within the code.
Do you want to leave a comment that is just a funny gif? No you don't. Not on PieFed, that will get your comment dropped and lower your Social Credit Score!
if reply_is_just_link_to_gif_reaction(reply.body) and site.enable_gif_reply_rep_decrease:
user.reputation -= 1
raise PostReplyValidationError(_('Gif comment ignored'))
How does it know its just a gif though?

I'm not even sure someone would actually drop a link like this directly into a comment. It's not even taking into consideration whether those URLs are part of a markdown image tag.
I then made a comment from my lemmy.ml account, and replied to it from my piefed.zip account, and neither .social, nor europe.pub can see my .zip reply, but can see my lemmy.ml comment!
[ Let me add more clarity here: what this feature does is two things. On a local instance, if you block someone who is on your instance, they cannot reply to you. However, this condition is not federated (yet, it would seem), and so, to get around this "issue", the system will drop comments from being stored in the PieFed database IF the blocked user is remote. This means you end up with "ghost comment chains" on remote instances. There is NEW code as of a few weeks ago, that will send an AUTOMATED mod action against blocked remote users to remove the comment. So long as the community is a local PieFed community, it will federate that mod action to the remote server, removing the comment automatically. For PieFed servers, eventually, they would rather federate the users block list (that's fair), but it would seem this code to send automated mod actions to remove comments due to user blocks is going to stay just for the Lemmy Piefed interaction. I don't really understand why the system simply doesn't prevent the rendering of the comment, instead of stopping it from being stored. It knows the user is blocked, it already checks it, it should then just stop rendering the chain of comments for the given user, prevent notifications from those users, etc. ]
~~Moderators of a community can kick you from a community, which unsubscribes you from it, and does not notify you.~~ This has been removed actually, the API endpoint is still there.
I was going to say that Admins had the ability to add a weight to votes coming from other instances, but the videos that showed this are now gone, and as of v1.5.0 they have removed the instance vote weight feature, claiming it was "unused".
All this to say. Piefed is a silly place, and no one should bother using its software.
Hard coding (also hard-coding or hardcoding) is the software development practice of embedding data directly into the source code of a program or other executable object, as opposed to obtaining the data from external sources or generating it at runtime.
This is precisely what PieFed does.
As I have noted in the post, the block can be disabled/circumvented by the admin. But the rule is still in the .py file where all the business logic are, hence hardcoded.
Hard-coded data typically can be modified only by editing the source code and recompiling the executable, although it can be changed in memory or on disk using a debugger or hex editor.
But I guess that would undermine your point if you read one whole sentence further, huh?
lmao, you literally had this explained to you on a previous thread and you're still on it. Really that desperate to simp for genocide denialism?

Exactly. If you want to make the same code logic block "notenoughmuskspam" (for example) instead, you would have to patch the source code. In this case there is no "recompiling the executable", since its Python. I don't really see that undermining my point though.
Your comments sound very angry so I am blocking you for the sake of the mental wellbeing of both of us. Have a nice day.

You literally pointed out that it's an option that can be turned off as an admin option without the need for editing the code, which means the initial claim made in the meme is outright misinformation. But considering you've had that explained to you previously and still came back a day later to peddle bullshit, I'm guessing you're already well-aware of that, and just trying to push the old fascist line - 'Repeat a lie often enough and loud enough and people will believe it'.
That 'more information here' thread was an interesting read. I just use a keyword blocker userscript and it does most of what they hardcoded. I guess if people like to have their hand held while browsing, the defaults from piefed is for them.
PieFed blocks !enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world (and a few other communities) by default. At the time of writing this post, you can search for the comm on many PieFed instances and you will not find it.
The direct links work to that community work on piefed.ca, and feddit.online. It's not been added to europe.pub yet.
I'm going to suspect this is actually a community search bug, or an oversight.
Yeah, Piefed looks awesome, so does loops. I would like to join over there, but I'm not sure how being a mod here on sh.itjust.works would translate. They were thinking about adding an instance there too, but again, not sure if I can still mod here.
Piefed is honestly way better than Lemmy, in my opinion. it has a lot more options to configure how you interact with fedi, and also isn't made by a transphobic tankie.

Hardcoding has nothing to do with whether or not the filter can be disabled. It is about how the filter is implemented (comparing against a string in the code, as opposed to a string loaded from config file or database).

I like how you "forgot" to include literally the next sentence.
Hard-coded data typically can be modified only by editing the source code and recompiling the executable, although it can be changed in memory or on disk using a debugger or hex editor.
Soft-coded data, on the other hand, encodes arbitrary information through user input, text files, INI files, HTTP server responses, configuration files , preprocessor macros, external constants, databases, command-line arguments, and is determined at runtime.
The block is soft-coded, not hard coded. And don't try to selectively quote from a source the other person linked to you, it's probably just gonna make your dishonestly obvious.
PieFed blocks the word "Musk" by default unless turned off. This isn't an assault on anti-Musk speech. Neither would I characterize enoughmuskspam as anti-Musk.

go on, include the next line from the Wikipedia article I linked

The 4chan image blocking is excessive but the rest of the stuff just reads like the dev didn't think anybody else would use their software so they implemented them 'good enough' for themselves.
That whole tread just reads like a counter-moral panic by the .ml instances.
I think the muskspam community search block is an oversight, especially given that "piracy" is in that codeblock and the communities referenced here can still discover piracy communities via the community search.
Exclusive: Vitaliy Kim, who was handpicked by Zelensky to be governor of the Mykolaiv Oblast region in Ukraine, has signalled a shift towards compromise in an interview with The Independent
I know this is a broad question, and dont expect to be able to filter everything. Is there a way to filter out news on Lemmy so I can just scroll saving my mental health at times?
The Investigative Committee report states that the fixed-wing strike drone is presumed to be NATO-manufactured. An expert examination will be conducted to determine the precise type and model of the explosive device.
QUESTIONABLE SOURCE A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news.
