  • The property itself still seems toggle-able with the api. The changelog and pull linked seem to be only on the default front end. I don't see an associated change with the back-end which is mentioned in the PR. If web tools are enabled, the toggle shows up for creating a post. If you add nsfw=true as a parameter in the submission URL it is marked appropriately, but it is not set by default. https://lemmynsfw.com/post/23232239 (This seems to have caused issues elsewhere too).

    After playing around with it. the posts don't show up unless nsfw is enabled, but if you have nsfw enabled the post does not have the visible nsfw marking. If you don't blur NSFW posts, there is no visible way to know it is NSFW

    TL;DR It is treated as NSFW, but it is not visibly marked as NSFW.

  • I'll comment outbound seems off too. I checked from lemmy.world and new stuff from here is missing.

    unable to toggle nsfw in default front end in some communities

    In at least tickling and shinyyiff there is no easy way to toggle or set nsfw using the default web interface. The checkbox either doesn't load, or disappears immediately. For creating the post, nsfw=true can be manually added as a variable. I'd have to dig into the api to see if there is an easy way to toggle a post that has already been created. I don't know if this issue is a problem on apps or other front ends.

  • I've never quite figured out how to get mentions to work properly. I also don't want to come across as impatient by spamming you across every method.

  • Thanks for all you do. What is the best way to let you know when these things happen?

  • umm, no. I use work chats for work, and personal chats for personal. I might accidentally add the wrong colleague to a work chat, or wrong friend to a personal chat, but I'm never going to accidentally add a friend to a work chat because I don't mix work and personal chats.

  • Did everything come back up as expected? Seems pictrs is having issues for some folks. https://pawb.social/post/21953795

    pawb pictrs down?

    I'm noticing some errors on images hosted on pawb. https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/b89180dc-38dd-4fe0-8104-65491ef6a177.png?format=webp&thumbnail=256 fails with a sled error, IO error: Os { code: 112, kind: Uncategorized, message: "Host is down" }, but the raw image https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/b89180dc-38dd-4fe0-8104-65491ef6a177.png works. the avatar on my profile page is broken, but is present on comments and such. @[email protected]

  • I think I want one.

  • authoritarianism is another word that can mean different things to different people. It can be used to mean the government enforcing any rule that isn't liked. civil rights protection? authoritarianism. job protections? authoritarianism. minimum wage? authoritarianism. etc...

    Also related is "small government". I think people who use it mean (at least when not in control) "small federal government", the state however should control everything about peoples lives.

    I almost think its the laws they support are black and white and unchanging. If something is wrong with a law, it doesn't matter, that's the law. The solution to an issue isn't to change the law, its to enforce it harder, or make it more restrictive. The "rule of law" also applies to individuals and actions. Money crimes, fraud, "the state" are not subject to the same "rule of law" because those laws "don't make sense" and if we look above are a result of "authoritarianism".

    Is there a solution to get people to use language that can be agreed upon? who knows, but it would certainly help clear things up. I hate trying to guess what someone thinks a word means to attempt to refute their points.

  • I don't know I've though about "rule of law" quite that way before. I'll have to add it to my list for when it comes up. There are several other terms that mean different things to different people (I wish I remembered a specific one to demonstrate). Its one of the reasons its hard to have political discussion online. You have to determine what the words your using mean, before you can start arguing the points.

  • Assuming he believes his words (as opposed to using rhetoric to get what he or someone around him wants, in either case unfortunately, I think he's serious). I think he sees anything purchased from another country as "subsidizing" that country. To him, its money the US had that Canada now has. I sometimes think he somehow thinks the US should be given things, because...??? Every transaction has to have a "winner" and a "looser" and whoever has a + on the balance sheet is the winner, it doesn't matter what that + really means. (I can only bend my logic so far to try to figure these things out)

    Trump voter surprised trump is doing exactly what he said he would do

    During his brief unemployment, he explored opportunities flying for a private firefighting company – and still would not rule out leaving NOAA. He remains angry that fellow veterans were caught up in the layoffs.

    He backed Trump due to the president's commitment to the rule of law, he said, but now Mr Ripp thinks Trump is flouting the correct procedures for reducing the federal workforce.

  • Working for me again too. It seemed to always work for a few people, but the DNS for me was a parking page, so I assume they had a short lapse on their registration. (Whois has the last action date as today)

  • I don't know when you tried, but for a little it was definitely not working. Someone else also had mixed results, I wonder if there was a cached DNS record somewhere. Those kind of domains are usually for parking pages for unused domains, as the last action date on the whois is today, I think they had a short lapse. Its working for me again. Looks like it was probably down for just a few hours.

  • google, cloudflare, a cdn somewhere. could be cached dns too and it really is working in that browser. Its a recent enough change and lots of things need to update.

  • This is the entire page, plus nothing on pawb from blahaj users is loading. You might be pulling from a cache.

    Did blahaj.zone let their domain expire?

    There is a default page there now, and whois seems to indicate the registration was updated today (Feb 20).

    edit: whatever was up seems to be resolved. Its working again for me.

  • Disclaimer, I don't like what is being done, I think its wrong, damaging, and questionably legal, at least the process that is currently in progress.

    To add more nuance and explanation, There are only 3 branches of government, and when congress says we want a thing done, the executive is the one to execute, because where else could you even put it? For truly independent agencies, I think you need to amend the constitution for that. The current administration is taking that to heart and taking more of an active role, often beyond bounds set, in what is still lower level of the executive. If you were to go to an org chart of the people being fired, and departments being closed, if you went up a few levels you would get to the president. As much as NIH, or CDC, or USAID, or any others are independent, at the end of the day, they are part of the executive.

    Most of what is being done has been done or tried to be done before, not necessarily at the same time.

    As for your list, I'd be careful about throwing the baby out with the bath water, the NSA is involved with evaluating encryption, although there is some checkered history (DES) in this role.

    The FBI helps coordinate multi state investigations

    Intelligence from the CIA would be useful, but their history of foreign meddling that has come back to bite is a bit hard to overlook.

  • At the time, while vernacular correct, technically not true. The server was responding by actively refusing the request. It was "down" in the sense that you could not access it. It was up in the sense that something was running there.

  • with lemmy.sdf.org, something is wrong with the instance, I get connection refused on the instance itself. Your other example works fine for me, can you access the image directly? https://files.catbox.moe/fpvt6y.jpg

    edit: sdf is working fine for me now.

  • I DON'T AGREE WITH MOST OF THE FOLLOWING. what follows is simply my best guess.

    Different people are going to have different reasons, the first two are the majority of the voters the rest are for the owner class.

    1. Take the following statements to be true: Taxation is theft, government action is evil. If you apply no other logic, many of the actions make sense. The CFPB is government action, therefore evil and should be removed.
    2. ANY regulation impedes the free market. CFPB is a regulation it impedes the free market
    3. It helps the selfish people doing it. They will be able to take more risky positions at the expense of the public and make money.
  • I've never really been one for digital hugs, but it is appreciated.

  • It was the perfect place for me. If it was only pawb here, I don't know if I would have made some of what I feel are some positive personal decisions. I know there are sayings about good things being fleeting, but it doesn't make me less sad.

    yiffit has gone silent

    federation for yiffit has been turned off. if the fediverse was unaware of pawb before, Kolanaki will spread the word.

    If there are any future updates, I will update here.

    metadata bug

    When creating or viewing posts from youtube, the site_metadata endpoint returns nothing. I think this might be a lemmy bug, and not specific to this instance. lemmy.world shows the same behavior, lemmy.blahaj.zone and yiffit.net both return data.

    In python, single quotes or double quotes?

    Ask Science @lemmy.world
    l_b_i @pawb.social

    With age verification pushes, are there studies that justify, or refute their need?

    Whether it be social media use or access to pornography, are there valid studies that have looked into this? I feel like I've only seen anecdotes, or "inappropriate for children", but no evidence, studies, or journals to support this claim.

    comment bug

    When I replied to a comment, nothing seemed to happen except a 502 error with a flash banner in the corner that said "toastify is awesome". Assuming the comment didn't get posted, I tried again and had the same result. Refreshing the page showed all attempts at posting the comment were successful. This was on the standard desktop interface. @[email protected]

    yiffit is shutting down

    Just thought I would mention over here that Wander just announced the termination/archival of yiffit at the end of the year. I guess this will no longer be my backup account.

    Issue with some images

    Profile images don't appear to be working correctly. I can't see any when viewing profiles, I can't change mine, and when I try to view the image I get a sled-error "IO error: Os { code: 5, kind: Uncategorized, message: "I/O error" }"

    Edit: Fixed by Crashdoom. Thank you.
