Give me your phone number so I can chat with you on signal about this.

The US-state-department funding is important sure, but you also ignored every other point in that article.

Its impossible to have a government that represents the people, if capital stands above the political system.

Nato doesn't kill people, doesn't attack, does not do genocide and most relevant for the meme, it doesn't redraw state lines.

NATO killed thousands of people, redrew state lines, and overthrew several governments, in yugoslavia, libya, afghanistan, and north africa.

It's main enemies (and those of it's member countries) are the anti-colonialist movement:

Almost all those can be self-hosted, and built from source, so matrix, xmpp, simplex, are fine. Don't use anything that's uses a centralized server in a five eyes country, like signal or threema.

Alternative voting systems haven't proven to be even the slightest obstacle to capitalist rule. Japan and Australia have alternative voting systems, and they're still on the same far right path, still evict indigenous peoples, and still act as US military bases.

This tech could easily work with any type of camera too, that's a lot harder to identify than glasses with a light that turns on when its recording. Hidden cameras on pins, necklaces, clothing, etc.

Dishes especially are one of those things that doesn't take any quicker to do in large batches. It's faster and easier to just do them after eating before things get dried on.

Even dish-cleaning-youtube experts don't use their dishwashers anymore.

Democrats do that also, they're just not as honest about it as republicans. When Obama left office, he gave a parting gift of 38 billion dollars for Israel's defense defense.

The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox.

This is a chance for any users, admins, or developers to ask anything they'd like to myself, @nutomic@lemmy.ml , SleeplessOne , or @phiresky@lemmy.world about Lemmy, its future, and wider issues about the social media landscape today.

NLNet Funding

First of all some good news: We are currently applying for new funding from NLnet and have reached the second round. If it gets approved then @phiresky@lemmy.world and SleeplessOne will work on the paid milestones, while @dessalines and @nutomic will keep being funded by direct user donations. This will increase the number of paid Lemmy developers to four and allow for faster development.

You can see a preliminary draft for the milestones. This can give you a general idea what the development priorities will be over the next year or so. However the exact details will almost certainly change until the application process is finalized.

Development Update

@ismailkarsli added a community statistic for number of local subscribers.

@jmcharter added a view for denied Registration Applications.

@dullbananas made various improvements to database code, like batching insertions for better performance, SQL comments and support for backwards pagination.

@SleeplessOne1917 made a change that besides admins also allows community moderators to see who voted on posts. Additionally he made improvements to the 2FA modal and made it more obvious when a community is locked.

@nutomic completed the implementation of local only communities, which don't federate and can only be seen by authenticated users. Additionally he finished the image proxy feature, which user IPs being exposed to external servers via embedded images. Admin purges of content are now federated. He also made a change which reduces the problem of instances being marked as dead.

@dessalines has been adding moderation abilities to Jerboa, including bans, locks, removes, featured posts, and vote viewing.

In other news there will soon be a security audit of the Lemmy federation code, thanks to Radically Open Security and NLnet.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.

 

The full description of the bug is in the linked issue above, but the short version is:

Our CreatePrivateMessageReport endpoint had a bug that would allow anyone, not just the recipient, to create a report, and then receive the details about private messages.

This allowed anyone to iterate over ids, creating thousands of reports in order to receive details about private messages.

Since those reports are visible to admins, it would be easy to discover if someone was abusing this, and luckily we haven't heard of anyone doing so on production instances (so far).

If you haven't, please be sure to upgrade to at least 0.19.1 for the fix.

Many thanks to @Nothing4You for finding this one.

Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

Yesterday we released Lemmy 0.19.2, which included various federation fixes, as well as a way for admins to view votes.

@phiresky fixed a federation loop bug, and worked on lemmy-federation-state, a tool to help visualize federation status.

@sleepless fixed a lemmy-ui theming issue, as well as an issue with lemmy-ui's error pages.

@dessalines fixed an issue with resolving reports, added the ability for admins to view votes to prevent downvote trolling, upgraded our woodpecker-ci to 2.1, and helped fix various CI issues, and is adding comment and post removing to jerboa.

@nutomic is fixing an issue with mastodon follows, working on local-only communities, fixed an issue with the lemmy-stats-crawler, fixed an issue with cache-control headers, better handling of federated reports from mastodon and kbin, and much more.

@dullbananas is fixing up some Lemmy DB triggers, adding a better-organized cursor-based pagination library, and a query plan viewer.

Post here if you're able to help mod, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Ideally your account should be on lemmy.ml, and also have a history of posting here.
