I heard that in some countries you can get fined for using torrents or seeding beyond a certain limit (Das Deutschlandlied intensifies). How to seed so that no idiot government would get hands on the fact that you are downloading torrents? I am pretty sure I can do this using Tails OS but what else? Is there a safe way to SEED...
is it true that you can see who downvoted you on lemmy?
Out of the box no, but if you host a Lemmy server you can check in the SQL database who downvoted what, both locally and all posts that were synced using ActivityPub.

Privately-owned social media already took way too much space for the online discourse, to a point where the government is unable to effectively communicate crucial information to its citizens when needed.
They need to take it back, and establish a foundation on open standards and protocols. Our government should strive for openness and accessibility.
It’s hard work to deploy and maintain at scale, but it’s better than the status quo.
I don’t see a good solution to this, either the bot reposts the sales on a timely manner before you miss them, or you get people to manually post the sales. However with the current volume of users here I don’t see the second option equaling or surpassing Reddit in terms of usefulness.
The Bluetooth mode is made specifically for the Nintendo Switch on that model, on PC and Android you need X-Input mode, which is made available through 2.4GHz and USB-C.
I complained about that part too, and 8bitdo doesn’t seem receptive…
There’s a difference between the Ultimate BT (with hall effect joysticks and the paddles) vs the Ultimate 2.4g, which received BT support later on. They don’t use the same firmware.
It will work with Steam, as Steam itself is able to capture Switch-input, but if you try to use it outside of Steam in a software that expects X-Input it will not work as expected.
I wasn’t able to use it on Android in BT mode either, most games I tried wouldn’t recognize it, but would work fine using a USB-C cable.
Everything has a cost of course, building solar panel requires a significant amount of precious metals, which may or may not be easily accessible or affordable depending on the political climate between countries who mine vs the countries who needs the resources.
And the production of solar panel does create some toxic leftovers which needs to make handled appropriately. Not saying they’re a bad alternative and they’re definitely before than fossil fuel or coal, just needs to consider the cost and the impact of everything.
I was wondering whether that could cause issues for the limited servers available, like when the mass migration from reddit happened. Would it be bad to add more accounts that would be mostly dormant? And if one does create a throwaway would it be better to delete the account afterwards.
If it’s to protect your identity from some embarrassing content you’re afraid of tying with your main account then it’s fine.
If it’s to skirt the rules of a community or instance then you’re just pushing the instance admins into making it harder for everyone to make throwaway accounts in the future.
