  However, Chris Weston, its chief executive, told MPs that the company needed an exemption from the £1.4 billion in fines he expects the regulators, Ofwat and the Environment Agency, to impose for future breaches of environmental and performance rules.

  Won’t somebody think of the poor company facing the consequences of its own actions.

  Could you change the title to match the actual article title, not all clients show the original and editorialised titles are against the rules.

  Turns out they lied, one book targeted at adults got moved from the welcome area to further back in the library. Truly an impressively incompetent bunch these Reform councilors.

  They’re accepting the changes you’re making fine, you can see as such here.

  Assuming my suspicion from the other thread is correct (that you’re running this in your house), you need to set up port forwarding between your router and the computer running Yunohost. Specifically ports 80 and 443.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the lemmy "format" alternatives besides its standard ui?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have ‘Show Post/Comment scores’ enabled in your account setting. (Click ‘Account’ at the bottom, then the cog icon in the top right).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky is more open than you think.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  azsky.app tries to use Bluesky’s feeds to simulate something like communities. I think it focuses too much on piggybacking off bsky content to be useful though, like forums and microblogs are different paradigms and a different UI isn’t going to change that.

  Yeah, definitely messed something up with the lemmy-ui, here’s what their site actually calls:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is chachara.club down?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this might be a problem with their lemmy-ui deployment. Looking at communities on phtn.app with a chachara.club guest account shows the right thing for local.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now you’re just moving the goal posts. You claimed the article was AI generated and assumed it was talking about a separate entity also called Matrix, when neither of those things are true. I also didn’t ‘just quote something’, I quoted the above article.

  But fine:

  • Web3 and Automattic funding;
  • Status.im funding.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh for sure, Fallout 3 Geoguesser would be hard. Idk, I just never had a problem navigating them, even if they were a bit samey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The article shortens venture capital to VC. It also didn’t confuse the Matrix Foundation with a VC firm of the same name, it’s talking about Element (formerly Revolt). Like, that article puts says this in pretty simple English, I genuinely confused how you could’ve missed it:

  In roughly the beginning, there was two organizations that came out of the project: The Matrix Foundation and New Vector Ltd / Riot / Element. The idea was for New Vector Ltd to carry out the necessary work and bring in the necessary funding for the Matrix Foundation to thrive. Or well, so I’ve been told.

  They had multiple funding rounds lead by the likes of status.im, Automattic, the AI and Web3 company protocol labs and others; You get the gist, lots of VC and similar funding also a questionable amount of “Web3” and bullshit generation AI. Element was then tasked with using that to build the software that would power Matrix.

  Fallout 3. The criticism is absolutely fair*, but it was the first RPG I ever played and I’m still very fond of it.

  * I never got the ‘metros are hard to navigate’ criticism, I never had that issues. Most of them are pretty linear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pull request to begin to add ActivityPub support to the bluesly PDS⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really cool honestly. How big it is is probably predicated on if Bluesky enabled it for PDS’es on bsky.social.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help implementing ActivityPub - getting inconsistent results across platforms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if somethings changed, but it actually doesn’t. This lines would need to be WithContext<SharedInboxActivities>> for that to be the case, and just to make sure I tested against a local running main and was able to send activities to it without the @context just fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two Approaches to Solving the “Quiet Fediverse” Problem: Conversation Backfilling Mechanisms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That still only shows replies the server knows about, this article is about making sure all replies to a post are present on all servers.

  FEP-1b12 (Group ferderation) kinda already alleviates this, our part of the fediverse doesn’t really suffer from the missing replies problem, but it’s a solution that doesn’t work well with microblog platforms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help implementing ActivityPub - getting inconsistent results across platforms⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I not the most knowledgeable about Mastodon’s APub implementation, but having a look at the Actor of that profile, it might be because it’s invalid JSON-LD. Now, Mastodon doesn’t actually do proper JSON-LD checks, you can follow PieFed profiles from Mastodon and they don’t produce proper JSON-LD, but they do include “https://w3id.org/security/v1” in their @context, and doing a code search of Mastodon’s source code does show some checks for if that’s included.

  Lemmy’s I am familiar with and irrc doesn’t even check if @context is present.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was speaking rhetorically about people like Reindorf, I didn’t mean to imply you thought trans people were undesirables.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but I do still think the unfairness to disabled people is important to highlight, even if it’s just the principle of it as opposed to real world impacts. It’s important we don’t let them push ‘undesirables’ into disabled people’s facilities as that carries negative implications for both groups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When North Carolina and Mississippi passed anti-LGBT laws, that mandated trans people use the toilets of their assigned sex among other things, the Foreign Office issued travel advice warning LGBT tourist against travel there. Reindorf is now trying to introduce the same here and has the gall to tell trans people to stop overreacting to them becoming second class citizens by her hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not really fair on disabled people, their facilities are already limited and having a bunch of non-disabled people add strain will only exasperate that. Also, forcing trans people to use a special trans toilet will also out them in public and potentially make them less safe.

  This is also such a non-issues, trans people have been using the toilets of their gender identity for literal decades and it’s only become an issue now, and only because of well funded activist groups, not any issues in the real world.
