I haven’t actually played WoT since they added tier 8-10 light tanks, but god did I sink a lot of my teenage years into it. I have been really craving it lately, but I know better than to go back to it.

World of Tanks, which is pretty funny considering the image.

Made a fix: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5509
By the looks of it, Dansup is it similar to how PeerTube does it, but doesn’t wrap it in an array which is annoying. Hopefully he changes that.

Looks like I was wrong, PeerTube does set an
attributeTo, it’s just different to how Lemmy does it. Lemmy expects anOrderedCollection, while PeerTube sends an Array ofIDs. Don’t know how I missed theattributeToin the PeerTube output I was looking at (I was pretty tired when I wrote the tbf). This is probably something to fix in Lemmy.cc @emperor@feddit.uk

Had a look at the logs and trying to resolve a video fails with
OnlyModsCanPostInCommunity. This is because PeerTube setslemmy:postingRestrictedToModsto be true on theGroup, but doesn’t set anattributeTofor theGroupobject so Lemmy sees the community as having no moderators. It seems that the only reason this used to work was because theposting_restricted_to_modssetting was ignored when resolving an object from ActivityPub.cc @s08nlql9@lemm.ee
- Comment on Jobless, isolated, fed misogynistic porn… where is the love for Britain’s lost boys? 2 weeks ago:
What a wild thing to publish on International Women’s Day. Almost like this “we don’t talk about young men” stuff the media is pushing isn’t about helping young men but telling women to shut up.
None of this is to deny the many inequalities faced by females in a patriarchal society.
“Faced by females”. There’s quite a bit of bioessentialism in this that attempts to essentially say violent men have no agency. Like I’m sorry, having a shitty childhood or high testosterone aren’t excuses. The culture shift needed to help young men is to treat them like people, capable of feeling the full range of human emotions, and part of being a person is being responsible for your actions.
Also, no amount of women capitulating to reactionary rhetoric is going to bring about a culture shift that young men don’t want, young men are just as responsible for making their lives better as everyone else. Yes, they need more support structures (we all do), but young men need to want to get better and I’m not sure a lot of them currently do.

- Comment on Ban misogynistic online pornography, review to propose 4 weeks ago:
Baroness Bertin made it clear she would not be approaching the topic from a prudish or disapproving position.
Because if there’s one thing you’d expect from a Tory peer it’s a healthy attitude to fetish porn.

Jeremy Hunt wants to cut benefits to pay for this increased defence spending. They’ll do anything before taxing rich people more.

- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 1 month ago:
You’re probably getting downvoted (I didn’t just fyi) because it wasn’t really relevant to the discussion. No one’s disputing if cannibalism is natural, I was just trying to point out that killing and eating children is natural and yet still morally wrong to do.

Killing and eating your children has been observed among a great many species, particularly lizards and mammals.
What where we talking about again?

There are plenty of things that are ‘natural’ that are wrong to do, why is eating meat any different?

- Comment on Puberty blockers to be banned indefinitely for under-18s across UK 3 months ago:
Traditionally, puberty blockers would be used in cases where children start puberty at extremely young ages
Puberty blockers have been prescribed to transgender youth since the 90s, they’re use in combating gender dysphoria is just as much a part of the puberty blocker tradition as their use in combating early puberty.
I would not want to be held accountable for the countless stupid things I said or beliefs I held at a young age, so I can see why it is a concern.
This subtle notion that slips into this discourse that being trans is akin to a make-belief thing is deeply frustrating. No, children were not just being given puberty blockers because they suddenly declared that they weren’t their assigned gender. Getting puberty blockers required a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, something I can assure you is not an easy thing to get in this country, and even then still needed a specialist’s approval.
This is the worst part of this ‘debate’, people are led to believe that it’s the child deciding for themselves that they get puberty blockers despite the very stringent requirements on their use for trans youths. The point of this entire ordeal is not to protect kids (puberty blocker usage have a 4% regret rate), it’s to build up the idea that no amount of safeguards can make the prescribing of trans healthcare acceptable to people you don’t believe have full bodily autonomy. Where this goes from here is not looking for other areas in which our medical system is failing children, it’s expanding the list of trans people who don’t have full bodily autonomy. The Cass Review has already said that autistic people need special consideration.
