That ban has been in place since about as long as smartphones have been a thing. And even regardless of the national ban, generally school forbade them as a local policy.

Doesn’t change the fact that nothing will happen if the teacher doesn’t act. So TL;DR nothing will change, it will remain up to the teacher like it already was.

I can agree with that. Something that looked particularly bad was von der Leyen openly supporting Israel, in contrast with what had been decided by the rest of the EU institutions. Basically she took initiative and used her position to support her own agenda rather than the one agreed upon by the institution she was representing. (source, albeit soft paywalled)

A more direct approach in foreign policy is sorely needed for our continent, but I think we are still going to have to wait a few years before we can see it.

Quickly? By EU standards, I suppose, but this is the furthest thing from “quick” in the real world. We are about a month late compared to the UK and the USA.

but they can’t do the minimum decent thing and say “we condemn Israel’s atrocities” in the UN

The EU is a permanent observer in the UN and as such doesn’t have any voting rights. The common foreign policy is decided by the Council and requires unanimity so every member state has veto power. As such it’s practically impossible to come to a conclusive decision on divisive matters such as the current Gaza conflict.

I mainly write JS and not having a backtick on my keyboard annoys the fuck out of me. Other than that the Italian keyboard is alright, never had any other problems with it.

I guess we could all see this one coming. IIRC all three nations had been suspended after their respective military coups, so it’s understandable that the dictators had little simpathy for ECOWAS

Yeah it would be in most countries lol. Good things in life are always either illegal, immoral or they make you gain weight.

7,5k€ for one of those toys?! Hell I might get one myself. Even just the anti drone system would be so funny. What? You are flying your little shitty quadcopter at the park and taking pictures of the people jogging? No you are not! Hehehe.

Looks like Reddit’s blocking embedding their own images. How about you replace the link in the OP with an imgur one, or upload that meme to your instance’s pictrs?

Here, have a link: https://imgur.com/1eKVLRc

Yeah no thanks, you can post your pedo bullshit on rqd2, burggit or wherever, but not here. You won yourself a ban and a place inside my woodchipper.

It might not be as weird as the bottom one, but I already find the top image to be pretty weird, especially their clothing. I also wouldn’t really describe it as “flamboyant”.

Love to read some nuance on the topic. As much as we all repeat to ourselves to “remember the human”, it still doesn’t happen as often as it should.

Always good to remember that very few people are naturally and constantly toxic, most people are just normal folks and everyone has bad days.

Yeah this is their alt, their main is on burggit. But of course we (as well as 57 other sane instances) defederated from them, so they needed a .world alt to post here.

Sauce (yeah it’s a burggit link but it’s safe)

It’s a pedo flag.

I thought I had seen that flag somewhere else, but had to go through a pretty long rabbit hole to find what it actually was. Let me save you all a google search.

That is the M.A.P. flag

The “MAP Pride” flag. Made originally likely as a prank flag by a Tumblr user, it is now adopted by MAPs. The term MAP, which stands for “Minor Attracted Person,” refers to any adult with an attraction to minors. Pedophiles, Hebephiles, Ephebophiles, are under this definition.

Fuck off with this pedo shit, OP. Should have seen it coming when you mentioned burggit.

To add to the approved reply:

The GDPR has some other requirements to it, such as an EU-based representative being necessary for operating in the EU, allowing users to request data updates, and getting consent for data collected

You could make the argument that the mall Santas aren’t authorized representatives of real Santa, as they are hired by malls with no supervision from the North Pole administration. Thankfully this doesn’t matter, because Santa himself is a resident of Finland, an EU country, which is also where his business is located. Chistmas is saved, everyone.

Where political compass?

Also, you should put the link to the image in the “url” field rather than the “body”, this way no one can see it while scrolling

Are these problems recent? We’re on the most recent version of Lemmy, while programming.dev is still on 0.18.5. It’s possible that the app doesn’t fully support the newer version just yet.

Your separate instance idea is interesting but it’d would be way more work than we can afford, both on a human perspective as well as an economic one. Manual reposts are a no go, imo. What could happen would be applying some kinds of filtering to the content that gets mirrored from Reddit so that only the “best” gets in, though it’d be tough to figure what that would be.

Also it would require me to rewrite part of the Fediverser software (the program behind the reposting bots) and find a host for it, which again would mean hosting a second instance. Man, if only money grew on trees…

Thanks for the feedback. I still have some doubts about alien.top reposts, in particular regarding moderation and how it might affect user perception, but hearing different opinions is exactly why I decided to open this thread

If they have a reasonable desktop client

It’s basically the design of an iOS app stretched to fit a desktop, looks quite ugly to me. But I personally dislike everything-Apple so I’m very biased about it.

Looking at their GitHub it appears to be written in React, similar to lemmy-ui (well lemmy-ui is InfernoJS, not React, but they are basically the same thing), so I could definitely fork it and add flairs. But I doubt they would merge it into their main app, we are the only instance using flairs and we are still very small.
