From the founder of Wildberries ...

"There are no words to describe all the feelings and emotions caused by the attacks on ordinary people, on our employees, on us, who are simply doing our jobs," she wrote on Telegram. "But these situations demonstrate the most important thing: we must continue to do what we do for the benefit of people."

I discovered this after upgrading our instance yesterday, which also upgraded all frontends to their latest versions as well. After I did, our Tesseract frontend stopped working and I noticed immediately as it's been my primary for a while. Initially I thought it was an API version mismatch, but no, it was much worse.

Someone pointed out that the developer of the frontend added an explicit hidden and unmodifiably blacklist which includes any and all instances to the left of Kissinger. There's a commit which also explains their specious reasoning about our instance specifically, as it seems we've been on their shit list for a bit longer than that.

This instance and its admin staff encourages identity politics, groupthink, mob mentality, and extremist solutions to societal problems. Users who advocate violence are not moderated so long as the admins agree with the target. Caution and critical thinking are advised when interacting with this instance or its users.

When you use tesseract to connect to one blacklisted such instance , you just get a message informing you that Tesseract is "incompatible with that instance" which leads one to think of a technical issue, like an API mismatch, rather than the dev being an opinionated coward.

Isn't it funny how all the software developed by turbolibs, like Piefed and Tesseract, end up with hidden control mechanisms from developers who think they know better than everyone else? That they don't just think they deserve to tell you what you should think, but they should manipulate you to think it? Isn't it funny how libs go on about how bad it is to support lemmy due to the ideology of the devs behind it, and yet lemmy has 0 opinions as a software? It does make one think...

Anyway, I forked - it as one does - and disabled the blacklist, but since this is a massively ideologically compromised software, I'll doubt I'll keep this frontend up after Lemmy 1.0. I think we'll bring up mlmym again now that someone's maintaining it again.

On Monday 27 July, millions of mobile phones across Australia will simultaneously emit a loud emergency alert as authorities test the nation's new AusAlert system for the first time.

The nationwide test is designed to ensure Australians receive lifesaving warnings during emergencies such as natural disasters, public safety threats and biosecurity incidents.

But family and domestic violence advocates warn the mandatory alert could also create unintended safety risks for some victim–survivors.

Immigrant Women's Speak Out Association in western Sydney says its biggest concern is for women who depend on hidden emergency phones to seek help.

Hi. I am new to Lemmy. Only found out about it yesterday. One person told me about this place and advised to share the game here, saying that this community is less prejudiced and more likely to give feedback about game as an experience, instead of tools it was built with. I am mostly looking for feedback about the story and direction, since my main skill is writing and telling a story.

The game's story tells a story about life away from the front during wartime. There's no heroism or victories, and all you need to do is go to the store and buy some bread, listening to the protagonist's reflections on this conflict and how it changes the lives of everyone it touches. In this game, only one character has a name—and that's no coincidence, as they're all "nameless," the ones who won't be mentioned in the news, talked about, or likely even remembered. But each of them has their own life with dreams, fears, and hopes, and despite the bombings, they try to live on.

The story is fully fictional, but, as some might have quessed - are inspired by my life in Ukraine. Though, i think that the things i speak about are universal for any conflict.

This is an adventure game, also known as a "walking simulator." You probably could also quess that from the name) There are some interactive elements, but not many, so it's not for those who enjoy active gameplay. You'll mostly be reading or listening to the main character's monologues, and dialogues with various oddballs, walking, and completing small tasks.

The game also has three hidden endings. If you're interested in unlocking them, I'll give you a hint: when you enter the city, go left, look for a note, and... start counting. If your count is correct, the condition can be fulfilled on a second playthrough.

The game is completely free: it's too short to put a price tag on it, and I generally don't like doing that. Plus, this is likely my last game, and I don't have much life left in me, so there's no point in thinking about the future. However, for those who really want to support me, there are support packs. Since I hate microtransactions, they don't contain any in-game content, only bonuses like the soundtrack.

If the game is in English and you want to switch to Ukrainian (or vice versa), right-click on it in the library, select "Properties," and the first menu will offer an option to switch languages.

That's all for now, thank you for your attention. I welcome any feedback—both general impressions and detailed analyses—if anyone is interested in sharing their opinions. You can leave them here, but it's better to leave them in Steam reviews so everyone who considers to play the game can read them too.

Also, if you know where else game can be shared, I'll be glad if you do, since I don't have money for advertising, and the game is not commercial, so simply talking about it is the only way to let people know that it even exists.

Hi!

I'm looking to replace my family's landline phone with a VoIP based hardphone. From my research it seems that I'd need a SIP server and a SIP Trunk provider. But I also happened to find Jami that has a SIP account feature.

1. Could I make and recieve calls with Jami over the hardphone similar to a landline phone (minus the ability to call and recieve calls from normal phone numbers) with this setup (SIP server + Jami + hardphone)?
2. Does anyone have experience setting up a similar system?
3. Am I overcomplicating things and a used smartphone turned into a softphone would be a better choice?

I've just recently begun my selfhosting journey so I'm not very well versed in networking, but I am willing to put in the time and effort to learn. So any (constructive) feedback/guidance is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: The solution for me it seems is to just buy a used Android smartphone and connect it to a bluetooth handset. Thanks everyone :)

I've been using adguard home for ages to block ads at the router level. I also have an instance running on OCI free tier so I can do DNS based adblocking when away from home.

My partner has been complaining about seeing ads on the Goodreads app for a while. Recently I've been seeing tons of ads on news sites as well. I know we are properly using adguard, tracker domains are blocking and I can see our devices in the query logs.

After some googling I'm seeing people say DNS ad blocking isn't very useful anymore. So what is the next best option for android devices? Local VPN based blocking? What app do you use?

In China an electric revolution is taking place. Across the country, electric cars Australians might consider to be luxury items are now standard issue vehicles in China. Massage seats, big screens and even fridges are the minimum requirement for Chinese EV drivers and with charging stations at shopping centres that can recharge a battery in under 5 minutes, there’s no such thing as range anxiety.

On Foreign Correspondent, reporter Allyson Horn, now based in the ABC’s reopened China bureau, examines how this nation became the dominant global force in electric vehicles. With 75 per cent of the world’s EVs being made in China she gets an inside look at what’s rolling off the production lines in record time and she previews the newest range of EVs including a futuristic flying car that will be on sale by the end of the year. With a global shortage of oil and increased petrol prices in the wake of the US and Israel’s war with Iran, China’s long term EV strategy is leaving the rest of the world behind with surging demand and record-breaking profits.
