Changing the colours for gestures works when applying gestures to posts but not comments, i.e. you always see the default colours when applying a gesture to a comment.

@[email protected] this seems like it's been around for a while, but your efficiency at fixing issues has encouraged me to raise more!

I just updated Summit to the latest version (and I also applied a minor Android update too, so it could be that) and now Summit won't start (exits after a few seconds). Here's a (truncated) log if you're interested:

If I have a community link followed by a comma, such as ![email protected], it is incorrectly parsed as including that comma in the instance name. This same behaviour doesn't seem to happen in the web UI.

I know they've been around since the GDPR came into effect, but I've suddenly noticed a sharp increase in the cookie prompts on web pages which have a second "legitimate interest" page. Some of these have an "object all" button, but plenty require you to manually opt-out of sometimes hundreds of ad-trackers.

The cynic in me assumes this is a legal loophole, whereby they can claim legitimate interest in your data in order to do exactly what they were going to do anyway (which is not what the legitimate interest feature of the GDPR is for) without being required to give you a "reject all" button.

1. Am I being overly paranoid or is this exactly what's happening?
2. Does blocking all third-party cookies (something your browser should be able to do by default) negate all this need to reject anyway?
3. If not then what's the solution?

If you do have an answer then please state if it applies to EU/UK or other, non-GDPR-respecting countries!

According to https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

Reached out through Lemmy and Mastodon. No reply from the admin. Last activity from the admin was 2 months ago. Instance is also running an older version of Lemmy.

I assume they are defederating as a precaution, but as the largest instance they have essentially cut us off from a lot of content.

@[email protected] are you still around and are you able to reply to them please?

I'm really enjoying Summit, I've tried every Lemmy client I could find and I think this is the best one I've used. I can't find the source code though, https://github.com/idunnololz/summit-for-lemmy seems to only list releases, is this a bug?

I've recently changed from dns.adguard.com to extended.dns.mullvad.net as it generally seems more privacy friendly, but it seemed to go dead for a while today. Anyone else see this or was it a me problem? I can deal with a slightly flaky service but I can't recommend one to non-techies who just need a working adblocker.

I'm probably one of the few people still using a Pebble smart watch (still alive and kicking with Rebble!), and I've just gone through the app store and found a few cool apps that still work. Given that you have to give the Pebble android app quite a few permissions to be able to do its thing I'm now wondering if all the third-party apps can also access all those permissions. They're mostly little FOSS one-person projects so I can probably have a nose through the source myself to check for dodgy behaviour, but does anyone know what the risks are in general?

I'm a filthy 5e casual, what sort of madness should I expect?

(I've played a couple of PF1e one-shots and built a few characters so I know the surface-level differences, but what sort of 5e thinking do I need to un-learn?)

I was told we had to all leave Reddit and switch to Lenny

Dolphin Emulator's recent pre-emptive removal from Steam got everyone a bit worried about its future. The speculation was that they were shipping some proprietary Wii keys which they technically shouldn't be. Was this confirmed as the reason? Are they going to remove them? Is the future of the project still safe?

And I mean to actually use with your voice, you may be one of the people who likes "cockwomble" but if you only ever type it out online then that doesn't count!

When I view the posts section of my own profile I only see a list of my subscribed communities, whereas clicking on someone else's shows their posts as expected. I'm seeing the same in the lemmy.one web UI as in the Jerboa client. I can also see the number of posts I've made, just not where they were!

Anyone else seeing the same behaviour?

I've seen the post saying that the lead developer is stepping down, I've seen his accusations of abuse. I've seen enormous write-ups which make questionable claims about how he's the devil himself. I've seen a lot of rumour and hearsay, and now I've got no idea what to think.

Is anyone able to give a short, unbiased summary of what's going on? (Ultimately, from a selfish point of view, I want to know if the project is likely to fall apart or if this is just bickering between egos!)
