Sketch ass links

magnora7 · 2019-12-12T05:24:51+00:00

It seems the download links work, so I'm not going to remove this user.

magnora7 · 2019-12-12T02:59:16+00:00

Yeah I dunno, I think they're legit, but the person is clearly trying to promote their blog, probably with the main purpose of getting ad revenue from traffic. I'm on the fence about removing this user.

magnora7 · 2019-12-11T22:35:32+00:00

How much energy is required to mine the materials and manufacture that many solar panels? How long of a lifespan would they have?

magnora7 · 2019-12-11T22:34:46+00:00

They 'lied' to make themselves 'not guilty'

magnora7 · 2019-12-11T19:43:01+00:00

Welcome to saidit, I'm glad you found us. That's the exact reason most of us are here

magnora7 · 2019-12-11T19:02:17+00:00

And the real bad part of it is mods often only call out the "toxic" stuff that they disagree with, so it becomes biased very quickly.

magnora7 · 2019-12-11T19:01:34+00:00

Yeah I see comment threads where like 80% of the comments have been deleted by mods... Or when they lock it after it's been open for 1 hour so only certain types of opinions are visible...

magnora7 · 2019-12-11T19:00:48+00:00

...for his pocketbook, and the pocketbooks of the massive number employees they've over-expanded to have. He's basically financially backed himself and the company in to a corner, and is trying to spin it as a moral choice. This is something I very much want to avoid with saidit as we grow

magnora7 · 2019-12-11T18:58:26+00:00

Sweet. And if you have an educated guess, we can try that out too. (meaning I'm willing to briefly live-test your new code on our server if setting up your test version of saidit is too difficult)

magnora7 · 2019-12-11T18:56:57+00:00

Ah I am not sure honestly. At least now you know where the element is so you can re-locate it yourself. Good luck.

magnora7 · 2019-12-11T18:56:16+00:00

The rules are pretty clear and haven't changed much at all: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/

No advocating violence. That's not going to change.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T11:59:40+00:00

Oh you are correct, good catch. They are different systems. The comment one works correctly.

I think this is the one for links: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit/blob/3fba75d0464e040d3571597211f81ef673d77180/r2/r2/lib/media.py

Search for 'gifv' and there is a mention of it, but no mention of gifs. Neither display as animations on links.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T11:52:24+00:00

That'd be awesome and super helpful!

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T10:03:11+00:00

Ha. So many wannabe dictators in this world

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T10:01:40+00:00

Yeah I was like "Really?" and then I remembered this is about the 50th time something like this has happened to me.

They really want a hugbox echochamber, and then are surprised when there is backlash to that.

Although in the end that's just another form of divide and conquer, and a way to make the conversation centered around the battling extremists on each side, rather than the ignored silent majority in the middle who can't get a say because the media machinery is typically in the hands of the extremists on one side or the other. It's sad but it's also very interesting that this form of manipulation is brand new on the internet and it's actually working in certain respects. I am glad saidit can be a place with a full-spectrum of ideologies to let the middle majority have their say too.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T09:57:37+00:00

Yeah the guest IDs change constantly, even with the same person just loading a new page. We had to do it that way for the guest chat system to work.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T09:56:13+00:00

I think he's probably in Argentina or something, but yeah, I agree.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T09:55:40+00:00

Yeah I was trying to figure this one out the other day too... I would really like gifs to autoplay.

I think it has to do with this file specificially: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit/blob/a917c200d0ed295263dff44b6767dbfa576271df/r2/r2/public/static/js/expando-md.js

Maybe it simply needs an addition of .gifv on this list:

var allowed = ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png', 'svg', 'ico', 'bmp', 'webp', 'tif', 'tiff'];

If someone could help think about it a little more that'd be great. My and d3rrs plates are pretty full at the moment.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T05:32:45+00:00

I agree. "Epstein didn't kill himself" needs to be retired, it's time to move the discussion to the next bullet points. Like what about the network of people that he associated with? And all the people he employed? Where are the investigations and arrests?

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T05:30:33+00:00

Cheers. Well said. Reddit has such problems from the admin level to the subreddit moderator level. Just today I got banned from /r/democrats because I was talking negatively (but factually) about Hillary Clinton and the DNC. I simply left about 8 factual statements in a thread, and that was enough for them to permanently ban me from the entire /r/democrats sub, without any warning or recourse. In that moment, I also felt happy saidit exists. It's nice to hear other people like yourself are seeing reddit clearly for what it is, and appreciating the value of saidit. Thank you.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T02:59:30+00:00

Sorry I was being a bit brusque earlier. If you resize them to 25px and they still look good, then we might use them. We don't really want them bigger than that. Maybe 100px at the absolute maximum and I can resize to 25%, I guess it's not in the spritesheet, I was incorrect

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T02:53:41+00:00

D3rr is even busier than I am. He probably doesn't have time for new projects.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T02:45:12+00:00

You are too demanding. I have other things to do.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T02:42:09+00:00

Exaggerating it of course to justify an invasion/overthrow of Iran that they've wanted since 1979

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T02:24:16+00:00

The problem is the vote icons are on a stylesheet with many other images so the page loads quickly, so they cannot be resized.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T01:28:55+00:00

Thanks for the ideas.

For them to actually work, you need to make the following changes:

Each one must be 25x25 pixels exactly
Each one needs a nightmode and daymode set of backgrounds, that exactly match the existing buttons. Or they must have transparent backgrounds. Either way.

If you can do these 2 things, we'll consider using them.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T01:25:41+00:00

Both parties have had a war on the poor for quite some time now. Both major parties are co-opted by billionaire interests. They might be different billionaires, but it's basically pepsi vs coke and I just want water.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T01:24:20+00:00

If you turn your phone in landscape mode, sometimes that'll squeeze the thumbnails less so they render larger, when browsing the website.

Also, it's not really fully-supported but we do have https://m.saidit.net/ which has huge thumbnails.

If you're using the android app, I don't think there's a way to adjust the thumbnails size.

Hope that helps!

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T01:13:18+00:00

Here is how I would fix this:

Right click on the broken thing and go to "inspect" or "inspect element" depending on your browser.
This will open up a bunch of information about the page, you should make your browser window very wide so you can see everything
The box of broken buttons is in a <ul> </ul> html element, shown in the inspector. If we click this ul thing (which might already be selected because it's the thing we did 'inspect' on), it shows the CSS for that ul element below it in the inspector. In this particular instance, the CSS for that box of buttons is called ".side .md ul:first-child" as you should be able to see in the inspector.
The fact it's overlapping other stuff shows it's a positioning issue. Within ".side .md ul:first-child { }" we can see that there is the CSS property "position: absolute;"
Uncheck or delete this property in the inspector, and we can see that the bar of buttons jumps to the right spot. So this means instead of "position: absolute;" we instead want "position: unset;" and it would work properly
Now open your sub CSS and find an entry that corresponds to ".side .md ul:first-child" and find within that where it says "position: absolute;" and change this to "position: unset;"
Save your CSS and your sub's CSS should be fixed!

Hopefully that helps, and will give you the tools to diagnose and correct future CSS problems. Let me know if you have any questions.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T01:04:27+00:00

If you make a logo nicer than the one we have, we'll use your new one. But it has to be the exact same resolution and logo size.

magnora7 · 2019-12-10T01:01:28+00:00

Fixed, thanks. Man that was a bad one

magnora7 · 2019-12-09T23:50:22+00:00

If you're too exhausted and sleep-deprived to really enjoy it, is it actually free time? Or just time that work isn't happening

magnora7 · 2019-12-09T23:48:49+00:00

Like I said, the movie studios forced it, just pretend it's to be a CPU, it's mentioned for literally 5 seconds. I don't know how you can let 5 seconds of dialog ruin an awesome 90 minute movie.

magnora7 · 2019-12-09T23:47:13+00:00

We have IRC moderation abilities, it's called "operator" in IRC. The mods for the sub should be ops for the IRC channel, and then can just ban each account. If there's someone abusing it who needs banned at the IP level, please contact me.

magnora7 · 2019-12-09T03:17:40+00:00

and it's not logical that use human as bio battery.

In the original script they were using humans as CPUs but the hollywood directors thought people wouldn't understand it so they changed it to battery.

Every movie has plot holes

Jon Stewart always gave both sides of any argument equal time

I think this is why he retired, tbh. There was no longer space for this genuine approach on the mainstream channels anymore, and he was essentially pushed out.

Yup, I've been gluten free for 12 years now, and I think it's because of the glyphosate that makes me sick, not the actual wheat. It also explains the sudden rise in people avoiding wheat over the last 10 years or so

magnora7 · 2019-12-08T20:31:45+00:00

It's a good read, and very short too.

magnora7 · 2019-12-08T20:31:27+00:00

So you request me to demod people, and then call me a retard? Great negotiation skills. /s

I'm not even a mod here. You realize I'm the site admin right?

Anyway, have a good one

magnora7 · 2019-12-08T18:11:06+00:00

Perhaps, yes. But the apparent duality is only in our understanding of it, the universe is only one system at the end of the day, a system that encompasses both the behavior of duality and of oneness. Like the Tao of Taoism

magnora7 · 2019-12-08T18:01:32+00:00

How could you know the sense of the oneness is not hallucination?

Oneness is as much an illusion as multiplicity. In fact, both are simultaneously true. Everything is one, and also everything is a billion separate individual pieces, at the same time.

magnora7 · 2019-12-08T06:10:09+00:00

Good catch. Amazing how much influence the military-industrial complex has over the media.

fixed, thanks

Ah okay, I figured, just wanted to be certain because multiple users were freaking out. Thanks for taking care of the translation bug!

magnora7 · 2019-12-08T00:34:24+00:00

Hey, welcome! How'd you find out about saidit?

magnora7 · 2019-12-08T00:32:15+00:00

Well the way you communicate certainly isn't doing you any favors

magnora7 · 2019-12-08T00:26:13+00:00

Seems it was happening on multiple subs? Someone else was reporting it too: https://i.imgur.com/mip33vw.png

But it's gone now. It wasn't me... hopefully it was /u/d3rr

edit: Yes it was d3rr, confirmed. He was just solving another bug

magnora7 · 2019-12-08T00:22:40+00:00

What an obviously disingenuous comment.

magnora7 · 2019-12-07T18:46:32+00:00

I mean saidit's front page is an algorithm...

I do understand where they're coming from, as the front page can be gamed by faking views and votes, especially on sites like YouTube. However in practice this becomes another excuse for them to censor whatever they like. It's already been a long-time problem that some of the hottest new videos don't appear on trending because youtube doesn't like the content. This has happened to a few of H3H3's videos

magnora7 · 2019-12-07T18:35:28+00:00

Because we won't let mods censor users? I'm pretty sure this anti-censorship makes us better than reddit. But hey if you want to be ruled by wannabe dictator mods who delete the things you say that they don't like, then reddit still exists

They've been talking about it nonstop since the day he's been elected. It's been 3 years. Either do it or don't.

The nonstop talk about it, coupled with the fact nothing ever really happens, shows that it's basically theater, while everything else of importance gets ignored.

magnora7 · 2019-12-07T04:20:30+00:00

Yeah it's good, right? Feels like from a movie or video game. His note expressions have so much finesse

magnora7 · 2019-12-07T04:14:53+00:00

This means stocks will keep going up, because almost all the money is going to the big banks, who just stick it in the stock market.

The bubble gets bigger.

magnora7 · 2019-12-07T00:38:29+00:00

No doxxing, removed

magnora7 · 2019-12-06T23:52:30+00:00

I said I'd let you choose the new mods if we needed them. I see no evidence we need them yet. If we do need new mods, I will use who was nominated

magnora7 · 2019-12-06T15:32:06+00:00

Agreed, it used to be nice, now it's pretty spammy

magnora7 · 2019-12-06T15:31:38+00:00

Digifutura have a sub of their own. I'm leaning in favor of that idea.

There's no way to enforce this other than threatening a ban if they don't, and I think they're a bot anyway so they probably won't listen at all

magnora7 · 2019-12-06T14:37:00+00:00

Well they're not censoring anyone, and they're not actively messing up the CSS, so better than the last mods at least. They haven't done anything to warrant removal as they haven't broken any mod rules as far as I can tell

magnora7 · 2019-12-06T06:32:55+00:00

Yeah the official Wikipedia name for it is "Graham's Hierarchy of Debate" :) He's also the guy who made hackernews and y-combinator

Greed and the hyper-wealthy are the problem, not "capitalism".

In fact the system we have today just lets he with the most money have the most power. That's not a free market of capitalism, that's a hostage situation.

magnora7 · 2019-12-05T21:22:26+00:00

Nice article, some very insightful points I agree with. Written by the guy who invented the Pyramid of Debate that saidit uses

It's basically a way of adjusting the sight to make sure the trajectory of the bullet matches where the sight is telling you it's going to go. It just calibrates the sight.

magnora7 · 2019-12-04T19:43:44+00:00

Wow. Insane

magnora7 · 2019-12-04T19:18:54+00:00

Thanks for that, I've never heard that before! Kind of an atmospheric dubstep glitchcore kind of thing. I like it

magnora7 · 2019-12-04T18:41:07+00:00

Thanks, fixed. I'm leaving sattamatkalife as they might be a real user. Their post got removed for being in the wrong sub though. If they continue to spam, showing their intent more clearly, I'll remove them.

magnora7 · 2019-12-04T18:39:24+00:00

Thanks, fixed. I'm leaving indyaspeak01 unbanned because they might be a legit user, even though a few of their posts have been removed. If they continue to spam, showing their intent more clearly, I'll remove them.

magnora7 · 2019-12-04T18:36:58+00:00

Wow that's dedication by them. Fixed, thanks

magnora7 · 2019-12-04T18:02:37+00:00

Well I'm not sure they were nihilists, as they cared enough to do their stand up show to help wake others up.

magnora7 · 2019-12-03T23:35:44+00:00

Interesting finds.

magnora7 · 2019-12-03T22:19:24+00:00

Yes the passwords are already encrypted, but we want additional layers of encryption since people could sit there and hack the database if they have full access.

Like you say, we probably will just end up not including direct messages or things from private subs.
