It is because their admins are in Germany and they fear the extreme repercussion that the German State has done recently. Did you even read the post you pasted? Are are you intentionally trying to stir up drama?

Not everyone lives in safety these days. Fascism has made it hard to do things like host a volunteer run online forum safely. There are cases where the heavily armed anti-terrorism unit SEK search peoples houses at gun point for this. Do you think online moderators should be required to catch a bullet for your posts?

~~Not being able to criticize leaders that the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants against is bonkers and simple censorship.~~

EDIT: After reading the official announcement thoroughly, I have to say the title seems... wrong? There are very specific things that are not allowed, some of which I can agree with. Others however, I do not.

Despite all the culture of remembrance, despite all the memorials and despite all the history lessons, the general public is simply not aware of how efficiently, ruthlessly and industrially the Nazis carried out the Holocaust.

At its peak, in Operation Reinhard, from April to November 1942, 2.5 million Jews were murdered. 10,000 every day. In specially built camps to which people were transported by rail and sent directly to the gas chambers, where there was practically no chance of survival. In Majdanek, over 18,000 people were murdered in 9 hours. By 1945, two thirds of European Jews had been murdered and in the end only the advance of the Allies prevented the rest from being murdered as well.

This is the much-vaunted singularity of the Holocaust, namely the systematic, industrial murder in special murder factories. This industrial rate of murder is unique in the long history of genocides. Stalin's camps were cruel, but they were not extermination camps with gas chambers. This also applies to other genocides.

So if you honestly compare the Gaza War with the Holocaust, you quickly realize that it is something completely different. And anyone who seriously equates the two is trivializing the Holocaust to an extent that almost borders on Holocaust denial. This is guaranteed to lead someone here to call me a “genocide denier”, but: if Israel acted like the Nazis in the Gaza Strip, all the women and children would be dead by now and a few last surviving men would be maltreated to death as work slaves. And yes, we all know why Israel of all places is constantly compared to the Holocaust, even though there is no factual basis.

*automatically translated from a feddit.org user I very much agree with. Not citing the account to not disclose them to save them from brigading.

This kind of seems... reasonable? Like, they have and convey a compelling legal reason for needing to do this. There's plenty of other Lemmy instances where these opinions and statements can be freely expressed. Further, they're explicitly allowing discourse that conveys similar sentiment but doesn't go against German law.

I guess my question is, what's the objection here?

Just FYI. There’s truth to this, but this post headline is very clickbait.

You’re still allowed to do things like call out the genocide, call the Israeli government facist etc.

What you can’t do is stuff like call for a violent overthrow of the state of Israel.

(Which I disagree with because since the status quo is violence I think violence is justified in overturning it)

But anyways. It’s less extreme than the headline suggests.

And also it’s in an effort to comply with German laws. (Which again, I disagree with, but I’m not the one at risk of getting raided here so yeah).

I don't think they are actually zionist or pro-genocide. But they are definitely not good mods, and they just didn't handle it in a good way. It's not the first time I've seen problems with that community moderation team, they tend inho to powertrip. I suppose they are friends or the same people as feddit.org admins and that's why they defend them so much. But I don't think that moderation team is up to the task of moderating a big community.

Nothing wrong with it, moderation is hard, very hard. And not everyone is qualified for it. They should just step back. Or just close the community if they are so heavy censored by their country legislation.

I hadn't noticed how pro-cop some feddit.org users are but a cursory glance at people taking police reporting at face value and then openly defending cops punching people in the face with "it's out of context" reasoning is just surreal.

It reeks to me of living in a bubble your whole life and never having experienced police repression - so your only response is "it can't be the police, they've never done anything against me, it must be the protestors that are wrong"

Usually I'm one that hates leftist infighting but defacto trying to suppress a genocide because the "law says so" is rather weak. Still I totally understand wanting to protect yourself from repression but surely if you cared about both justice and your well being you would just hand over the community to someone else? Unless of course you actually agree with the "law"...

I got through University running Debian testing.
It was mostly fine, some Linux based subjects were way easier without dealing with a VM (they recommended against WSL for some reason).

However there were a couple units that absolutely required you to use Visual Studio (non-code), I occasionally used a VM, the Uni IT also provided me with a remote VM (there's a form to fill and and it's all automated). But I mostly used Rider, which for one unit it confused their CI and I got mark down for (otherwise got top marks so it's fine).

For office, it didn't matter. Group projects mostly used Google Docs, occasionally Microsoft Office where the online version worked fine. All my units wanted PDFs at the end anyway, so it does not matter that you used LibreOffice or whatever. Some units provided you with DOCX templates, I had no issues opening them with LibreOffice.

Edit: People are mentioning online exams, my Uni did 'online quizzes' which worked fine, and some had to be done in class on their PCs anyway. Final exams where always done on paper.

Currently studying Computer Engineering. I did manage to get most stuff working without needing Windows.

It came usually at the cost of extra work, but I'd say it was worth it. So far I even got to writing makefiles for C++ projects targetting some Atmel chip (Microchip Studio is Windows only). And in some cases I even found better tools than what they privided us with.

Unless you need some very very specific program or run into some wierd constrains you will be fine.

I have never heard about this, can you link to your source for this? Also what's the symptom here exactly?

AFAIK steam and games directly use the kernel devices for controller input, not any X11 extensions.

Edit: Wait!? Do you want to use the controller as keyboard + mouse? Inside of GDM? Because that might use XTEST after reading about it, since XTEST seems to be some kind of testing protocol that allows one to emulate a mouse.

No steam uses XTEST under the hood for controller. You can see a bug report here. You could try to disable the XTEST extensions and the steam client will crash if you connect with a controller.

For the symptom, If I do a xdpyinfo it will print a list of enabled extensions and no matter what i've tried it does not have the XTEST extension.

Steam for Linux requires the XTest extension · Issue #9707 · ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux

Interesting. I will say I suspect still this is to make the controller act as a mouse or keyboard somehow, which steam can do.

One interesting thing is that it says in the bug report, that steam also requires uinput, which is used to create virtual input devices from userspace. And maybe (speculating) you need that for XTEST to work on wayland or something, or maybe steam can use uinput instead of XTEST if it's not available.

Or maybe it's security-related somehow (Regular programs being able to create virtual keyboards is kind of a security issue).

For me the output of getfacl /dev/uinput will list my username with read/write permissions. I have no idea what is responsible for giving me this permission but there it is.

Can you check with getfacl in both sessions?

I was waiting for the card to come down in price and I put my old 3060 TI into this new system at first

Did you install the Nvidia version of Bazzite? And if so, did you rebase to the non-Nvidia version?

Either way it might be worth a clean install.

Is it this issue? - github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/is…

Someone fixed a similar issue by setting their display color accuracy to "Prefer Efficency" instead of "Prefer Accuracy"

you can boot ostree:1 change the setting, run sudo ostree admin pin 1 then rebase back to testing (not reboot to ostree:0) that should hopefully work around it

I am not sure whos advocate i am being here but theres class of vibe coding enthusiasts that get heavily demotivated by being told to do things a certain way.

The trade of for this chaos is. At least know how to code and participate in open source projects and once in a full moon some creative actually designs something nova and inspiring.
