Hi I’m Tim.
I’m AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.
OP, what distro are you running? You mention a whole bunch of package formats they don’t provide, but never mention what format you require. Depending on the distro, making a build script (or converting the .deb) really isn’t Rocket Surgery ™.
Or, if you are running one of those distros you could just take the .deb and repackage it for whatever distro you’re running. Expecting a project to package for every distro, and then be required to support them for every release is a lot of work. And unfortunately some people have no issues expecting from others, but baulk at the idea of doing it themselves.
Sometimes it comes down to support. For every distro specific format you build and package for, the more you need to do with every release (and need the proper config and to be comfortable packaging for each).
Could always do what looks like the Arch AUR package is doing and build it yourself from source. Or if you are running a Fedora/OpenSuse distro you could find a package on COPR or something that converts a package from a .deb to .rpm and just change source and stuff to match signal.
Using that site and doing my instance to Lemmyworld , your site is listed under the working ones. I know spam has been on the rise again on big instances, so that could be playing a part in this also.
I think most of that can be taken from here: join-lemmy.org/donate. If you click through each donation method they each list goals/monthly intake.
EDIT - Minus crypto of course!
Yeah lots of “drop shipping” folks on Amazon, they buy a pallet of whatever it is from the same source as the top seller and then do some magic to get the “buy box” (the company that shows as default seller). Once they run that person out of business they are free to raise pricing until they no longer are winning the buy box again.
Amazon has also gotten bad with who it allows to sell on the site, and has been known to lump similar SKUs together, even ones from different sellers. This becomes especially troublesome when someone in the stack is selling counterfeit items.
All that is to say, pay attention to who you are buying from, and be on the lookout for counterfeit items.
EDIT - I don’t think this is the case here, but Amazon is also known to look at the users location and device and change prices accordingly. A great example of this is that sometimes a user buying from an Apple device (desktop or iPhone) will pay more than a user from a cheaper Android or Windows PC for the same item.
This could be a long shot, but since your instance is running on a .zip TLD it could be blocked at a webserver level (the whole .zip TLD not your instance specifically) like a lot of admins did when they were launched.
For a 440ml can of beer, the beer in can + can itself = 1 Imperial Pound [453 grams].
It’s not really a bug though, as it is working as intended. You may not like that implementation, so you would want to see an enhancement to the code.
You will be able to do this with 0.19.0 release.
Users can block instances
Users can now block instances, so that their communities are hidden from listings. This is done via POST /api/v3/site/block with parameters int instance_id, bool block.
I agree with those that say if you cannot live with the filter you should pick a new instance. Part of this whole experiment is that each admin is going to go with defaults they are comfortable with, and as a user you need to be respectful of those, or move on.
I do you agree with you that REDACTED works better in this case than “removed”, as I always see “removed” as a user action for whatever reason. Even the use of something like FILTERED would immediately alert the user and others that the original word(s) was/were removed and a basic understanding of why (it triggered the slur filter somehow).
I guess I would also go and change the “slur” filter language to just language filter, as not everyone is going to agree on everything an admin may want to filter being a “slur”, it could be any taboo word in that admins location.
Correct it does not, it looks like this by default.
For me:
But also me:
Discord = I do not understand. It’s like if you mashed IM and IRC together, but broken, and doing nothing well. Why anyone uses it is perplexing.
They have had some game emulation for years. I remember playing Oregon Trail on Archive.
You would be much better off getting a seedbox and then grabbing your ISOs of it when complete.
I’m not OP, but probably supported in the sense that the filesystem is part of the kernel.
Edit Although that’s a Linux issue not a distro issue. A distro can “support” it in the sense of making it easier to use, but it not being part of the kernel I would still consider unsupported.
What percentage of Signal users is “grandma” that uses Linux and would be messaging from her PC? I would have to imagine the overwhelming vast majority of Signal users are on mobile only, so packaging for specific distros is probably far down the priority list.
