but I didn’t use the word “flower”

Well, hopefully you’ve added an ALT text to the picture for all those visually challenged people out there - which then also helps search engines.

There’s also Marginalia if you’re looking for some rather traditional web search.

At least WP is free, Ghost is as “free” until you find out its only useful with the rest of the payed platform. editorjs.io is much better in that sense.

It’s not lemmy.zip that’s blocked in the UK, they (lemmy.zip) block every visitor from the UK as they don’t want to get in trouble for violating the UK’s Online Safety Act.

IMHO, it’s one thing if you want to limit everything from there on your instance and on your own will, but a completely different thing for them to basically secretly ban you from their whole instance just because one single person on there felt offended and reported you. There surely must be something in between doing nothing and this sitewide shadowban.

That slogan was originally coined in 1848 by King Ludwig I. But as with many things, the nazis severely tainted it. (Even though it was used by the socialist party after WWII, too.)

There’s a whole German Wikipedia article about this.

The VS is completely independent.

§7 BVerfSchG:

Die Bundesregierung kann, wenn ein Angriff auf die verfassungsmäßige Ordnung des Bundes erfolgt, den obersten Landesbehörden die für die Zusammenarbeit der Länder mit dem Bund auf dem Gebiete des Verfassungsschutzes erforderlichen Weisungen erteilen.

or in English:

The federal government can, if there is an attack on the constitutional order of the Federation, give necessary orders to the highest Federal State authorities for working together with the Federation in terms of protection of the constitution.

Just for transparency: The first link is the “old” report from 2021 which was public IIRC. The partA/partB links seem to point to the newer one - clearly showing the “VS - NUR FÜR DEN DIENSTGEBRAUCH” (“Verschlusssache” - confidential, official use only) at the top.

Keyword: supposedly

Because that’s what it said in the report my instance has received. Somebody on the moderation team made the same mental gymnastics you did. Just because I’ve questioned the stated conclusion of a report that was kept secret from the public. Nothing else. Nowhere did I say that I support that party. I just don’t like blindly trusting what politicians (and their government institutions) announce without giving any challengeable proof.

Their status as extremist as per that report mentioned in my toot has been revoked/put on hold until a proper court case: German news article

If it was as crystal clear as you make it out, why revoke it?

(These days, the constitutional courts of all the states try to get that status reinstated in their respective states. But that wasn’t a thing back when I did this toot.)

They claim “usually within 24 hours”. 2 days later I still have no reply. But yeah, I might try the follow-up email… although I don’t have much confidence that it’ll do anything. It’s more important that people get to know the risks of these huge monolithic instances.

These are quite some mental gymnastics going from my toot:

Oh, did he? He just stood there and claimed something. There was supposedly a great report with all the hard facts, but no one was allowed to see it. That’s not much different from “Yes, I did my homework, but then my dog ate it.”

(Correctly translated, btw.)

Wow! Just wow! You should sign up as a moderator on mastodon.social. You’d fit right in.

I’m waiting for somebody showing a Switch 2 running SteamOS on June 4…

Ohh, SQLite isn’t “one” db. SQLite is file-based. I.e. a database in e.g. PostgreSQL (containing several tables, views, indexes, etc.) would translate to one SQLite file (e.g. mydatabase.db3 or myappdata.sqlite). And each app has its own file/database. If the file corrupts, then it’s only affecting that specific app. (However, SQLite is pretty robust.) And since these are just files, you can backup them together with the application. No need to export data or shutdown the database first.

Whenever it is supported, yes. I’m a huge fan of SQLite.

Very happy with it. I’m running it with an SQLite database, so no extra database server is needed. And I’m using Elk as a frontend for when I don’t feel like using an app.

Even if you pay they have no incentive to get you to stop paying (i.e. find a partner).

Oh, of course, they will. Doesn’t mean they’d win if anyone dares to play the legal game to the end, though.

I think a big point in those cases was that the emulators came with the keys included. If you don’t provide the keys (or make them VERY easily available), emulators seem to be legal.

Have you not followed recent news?

That’s probably due to the new controllers. Can’t fit them into the Starlink holder or the Ring Fit anymore.
