I think just Arch Update Checker iirc

For arch at least there’s a widget you can add that does the same thing, it can show the number of available updates and works with pacman, yay, and a few other AUR package managers too.

I personally used spotdl when I wanted to transfer my music off of Spotify. It does unfortunately only download from YouTube which means its not 100% successful, it missed a handful of songs for me and 1 or 2 had an incorrect version altogether (like 10 hour loops, etc.). Overall it was like more than 99% correct for my playlist of around 2000 songs though, and its super easy to use especially in either a python or shell script since its a python library with a cli built in. There are definitely other options I don’t know about, some of which are probably better tbh, but spotdl has been good enough for me personally at least.

Same thing here. I was always vaguely left wing/pro FOSS/etc, but joining Lemmy introduced me to solarpunk and a much more anarchist/radical community in general. Since I started using Lemmy during the reddit API stuff I pretty quickly went from wishing I ate less meat -> vegetarian -> vegan and from vaguely anti-capitalism -> anarchist. Now I’m learning to hand mend my clothes and joining local mutual aid groups lol.

Just posting about bad things happening shouldn’t be the limit of what action people take (unless that’s all they can do obviously), but it’s also far from completely pointless to try and spread awareness of stuff like anarchism/anti-capitalism or ways you can make an impact/support others. Movements and ideas can’t spread if no one is talking about them. Plus posting about actual concrete actions you can do is super useful to anyone who wants to do something but doesn’t know how to start.

Oh also something I just realized, they basically want to force mods to debate misinformation, which is literally a tatic used to spread disinformation in the first place. By getting people to debunk a ridiculous claim it lends credence to the idea as something worth discussing and also spreads it to more people. I feel like the intentions behind this are noble, but it’s been proven that presenting evidence doesn’t really get people to change their opinion all that often. The whole thing is super misguided.

Holy shit this is such a bad policy lol. World is known for being too aggressive at deleting a lot of content they really shouldn’t be deleting, but this policy really doesn’t seem like it will improve that. The issue is most of the time if they want something removed they do so and then add a policy after to justify it, meaning that regardless of this rule people can’t “advocate for violence”, but they will be able to post misinformation and hate speech since apparently “LGBTQ people are mentally ill” hasn’t been debunked enough elsewhere and a random comment chain in Lemmy is where it needs to be done. Never mind the actual harm those sorts of statements cause to individuals and the community at large.

All I can see this doing is any actual types of that get wrongly overly censored will still do so since the world admins believe they are justified in doing so, while other provably false information will be required to stay up since the admins believe the mods aren’t justified in removing it.

This policy seems to only apply to actual misinformation too, not just subjective debates. So if there’s a comment thread about whether violence is justified in protest would likely have one side removed, while I guess someone arguing that every trans person is a pedophile would be forced to stay up and be debated. Its like the exact opposite of how moderation should work lol.

Are you trying to remove it from a photo or a video? For me at least it seems like it shows up on images but not videos.
