Not a single person in this thread who says Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.

Why is the OP’s handle blurred out in the screenshot.

It denotes all genders not only male and female by using the asterisk as a wildcard for everything that could be in between the ends of the spectrum from male (Kassierer) to female (Kassiererin).

Please use their full name Dickie MacDickface.

Not sure if it counts as technology but it was a Ford Focus.

I think it is generally a bad idea to support sites that promote hatred and fascist ideas by providing them traffic and content.

That’s odd. Both options open the share menu for me and then paste the image right into the app I’ve chosen to share with (say WhatsApp)… so, yeah, seems to be a Firefox thing indeed.

You can also use the 3-dots-menu by the post to get that option.

I’m using the PWA on android (with Vivaldi browser) and I just long-press the image and get the share image option… so, I don’t know why it doesn’t work for you.

I’d like to add from a user’s point of view. Firefish.social was advertised as the flagship instance and in the beginning everything was fine and nice on there but then they started to implement new stuff and this broke something leading to the flagship instance being down or unusable for most of the time. Days turned into weeks with the server not running or at least not without problems (only talking about timelines, not to mention other features like antennae or lists which wouldn’t work at all) without any communication from the admins and no replies to direct inquiries. I eventually moved to another instance running a stable firefish version. But our admin also complains about being ignored by the dev team, so they decided we will be moving to Sharkey. And we all know that Kainoa is young, started uni last year and a new job - that’s all fine and understandable but maybe not compatible with running such a big project. Which again is fine but also means that -for now- the project is not being worked on while in a broken state. I think this is valuable information for users and admins and it was good to hear this from someone in the core team.

After spending a bit more than a decade in academic research, I am now a regulatory toxicologist in biocides assessment at a national authority. Sounds boring but comes with much work in international committees which is fun (and oftentimes restores my faith in humanity) and we do some research and teaching, too. Plus, it is a nice job in terms of doing something for society, making the world a safer place… 🙂

I’d love to but would need a lot more training to do so. Which I fear I won’t get due to time and financial constraints - you know, being the bread winner of the family, full time job, a child… But on the other hand, I do love my current job and it earns me the money to buy all the expensive text books, so I won’t complain. :D

Was into mini painting for a while when my partner and his friends still used to play BattleTech. I did play a bit myself but painting was much more exciting. :D I’d love to get back to it - always looking enviously at the Warhammer displays in our games store.

My weird hobby is reading textbooks on forensic medicine and other forensic sciences. Like how to perform an autopsy, how to identify the cause of death, how to take and interpret fingerprints from different surfaces and such. I am a trained toxicologist but unfortunately only had basic training in forensic toxicology as part of my curriculum (and not working in that field now). 🙂

This mole was best at hide&seek for so long…

Thanks, enlightening text. I think, the biggest problems w/ blocklists are “guilt by association” (you lose all your connections because someone on your server was being problematic - I feel oftentimes account-based blocking should be the first choice) and these lists being created and maintained by a small group of people who are all more or less friends. On the other hand - as you pointed out - for now, they seem the most feasible option to provide at least some kind of protection. Not sure, if there will ever be a solution that fits all. Probably not.

Hey! Just wanted to say: It works again! Yay!

I am here, too. Unfortunately I still have problems w/ Voyager app (can’t upvote, don’t get notifications and such) - my favourite way to use Lemmy… But I love it here anyway. :)

Posts from communities I am not subscribed to appear in Home tab in the Voyager app on Android since the previous update (problem was not resolved by last update to version 1.19.3).
