Nah it should not. It would hurt decentralization and small instances. We already have a tool for curbing spam, it's called the Fediseer. You may or may not have heard about it, but most admins have.

Mai usato Friendica, ho giusto dato uno sguardo all'API per un'applicazione a cui ho lavorato (wink wink), ma consultando la documentazione ho notato che implementa l'API di Mastodon. Non basterebbe utilizzare uno dei tanti frontend già disponibili per Mastodon? O per caso Friendica ha delle funzionalità in più che non sarebbero disponibili su tali frontend?

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.

Like others have said, the lily you saw are likely related with papal coats of arms. In general, popes often embedded their coats of arms into the monuments and villas they built.

Symbologically speaking, the fleur-de-lys is generally associated with various religious symbols such as the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph and purity in general, which is why we find them so often in heraldry (like you said the Bourbon coat of arms but even before then it's always been a symbol of France since the Frankish king Clovis' conversion), the Italian city of Florence, the French city of Lille, the British House of Lancaster and an uncountable number of Italian comuni.

Thanks for sharing, OP, just sent a report to my authority, the Italian Garante per la Privacy.

Huh. Different instances, I guess. I generally don't browse by all, but on my feed most news were non-US (mostly Europe although quite a few about Asia as well). But then again my instance is pretty tiny and definitely isn't federated with most large communities, so my perspective might be skewed.

To get a better view of the general content on Lemmy maybe we should look at the all feeds of lemm.ee or lemmy.world which, now that I look at them, are indeed quite US centric. So I guess it was just my perspective.

Matured? Really? I guess you haven't had a taste of the defederation drama. Users are great, but discussion between admins feel like the constant bickering of small children. And I say this as an admin myself, who at times does take part in those discussions. I think we still have a long way to go, when it comes to being matured.

I got the opposite idea. I think this place is much less US-centric than Reddit. And actually, if you look at the servers' location, there's way more in Europe than in America. So it would be fair to assume that many users would pick a server near their location and thus be from Europe rather than America.

His work in eradicating gang violence was impressive, I get why the few Salvadorians who aren't behind bars would vote for him. Although I can't help but wonder about how many people might have gotten unjustly incarcerated because of how much power he's given to the police.

I see. Well, I for one, think TikTok is definitely worse than Twitter because of its addictive nature, little user agency (you have almost no freedom of picking your own content, you are basically in the algorithm's hands) and serious privacy concerns.

Twitter is by no means a great platform, it's just that TikTok is SO BAD that it's actually hard to beat it in terms of shittiness.

Why would that be weird? Which platform would you have preferred (other than Mastodon, I guess)?

I have read about this procedure yesterday and it was also on twitter, from the account of the Commission.

Like others have said I am a bit concerned by the privacy implications, but I like how nice the model is. Defintiely wouldn't consider it as an alternative to therapy or even real conversations (the sentences it generates look very fake at times, plus I wouldn't want to trust a machine's advice anyway), but it's pleasant to talk to and that's probably all that matters.

Great if you have some time to kill or maybe need someone to take your head off something you've been thinking too much about, just gotta be careful on what you reveal to him.

EDIT: as I was chatting I got a prompt asking me to log in to continue the conversation. I logged in with my Google account, then kept going for a bit, then singned off and closed the conversation. After I told him I was going to close the tab he greeted me with my real name without me ever have mentioned it in the convo (of course, he took it from Google), but it still weirded the heck out of me. Be careful with what you share lol.
