Questions related to blocking users and domains.

I've noticed a few things when blocking users.

  1. If i block user A, then any post/thread by that user A is not shown. So lets say a thread has posts by user A and other people respond to him, all the replies to user A are hidden and only other peoples replies in the thread is visible.

  2. If user A made link posts, they are all hidden including every reply to his thread.

When blocking a domain, i see that communities from that domain still show up in all. I'm confused how to block all communities from a particular domain.

Instead of completely hiding the threads, links and replies to banned users, can the blocked user's post/replies/threads be replaced with a spoiler that the user is blocked in preferences?

Is there any media cataloging software in linux that automatically shows which files don't have 2 or more copies?

I lost 2-3 hdd's due to old age and lost all data on them. Some other 2-3 hdd's make a lot of noise while in operation and probably failing. I use VVV to catalog the stuff and to see which files have 2-3 copies, i need to manually search each file name. It's really tedious. I was wondering if there is another program that does this automatically. I let it scan the hdd's and it makes catalogs of each hdd and tells me which files don't have duplicates when i press a button. I have like 18 hdds ranging from 500GB to 4TB full of data so manually searching is too much work now.

Air Canada customers kicked off plane for refusing vomit-covered seat
  • Apologies don't help much. The two women should ask for full refund of money spent plus additional $10k each for forced cleaning. Fuck the pilot and the supervisor.

    After a supervisor reiterated that they would have to sit in the soiled seats, the two women were “reluctantly” provided blankets, wipes and vomit bags to clean the area themselves, according to Benson.

  • Danielle McGahey becomes first trans woman to compete in international cricket match
  • Why don't the sports federations just make a new trans category? Instead of all these medical tests for years and other complicated things, make a new category. Instead of only one person playing, let 10 other trans people play.

  • Xiaomi matches Samsung’s industry-leading Android updates policy
  • I had a miui phone and they only update their own apps and the phone with ads or unwanted apps. They only gave one Android update after a year and no monthly security updates. Plus their updates break things or make phone slower. They say a lot of things but don't follow through.

  • A 57-year-old UPS driver in Texas died after collapsing in the heat while making deliveries
  • Why don't vehicles have some sort of heat shielding on the roof? even a car becomes like an oven if it sits out in the sun for an hour. Any vehicle should at minimum have a good heat protection at the roof so that the vehicle roof doesn't transfer heat below and heat up the interiors.

  • Fatal shooting of University of South Carolina student who tried to enter wrong home 'justifiable,' police say
  • I'm in a developing country and such things don't happen here. Some months back an upstairs neighbour of mine tried to enter into my house when i was inside. He was trying his key and then rang the doorbell and i opened it and he was very confused. Then he looked at my house and realised he was on the wrong floor, said sorry and went away. These things happen if all the apartments look the same. No one needs to die for such small blunders. What's more disturbing is the amount of people here justifying shooting the kid because he broke a window and was forcing his way inside. They don't realise they wouldn't have to fear other people so much if there were no guns available in the first place. I'm sure I'll get a lot of replies that gangsters don't obey rules and what not but isn't that the same in every other country without guns? Maybe Americans like to kill people a lot. No wonder their entire country runs off war and destruction.

  • Do Multivitamins actually do anything?
  • I take it when i have some symptoms of vitamin deficiency like if you're sitting in one place and get up and you feel some weird sensation in the legs or hands. Like hundreds of ants running inside the veins. Or when I forget to drink water and get dehydrated and the body loses vitamins. I usually don't take such meds.

  • Anyone feel typing on the keyboard is a chore compared to typing on the phone with swipe enabled?

    I feel swipe to type should be an option on laptops. Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets. Remove the physical keyboard and put a 6" to 10" lcd with touch input on it.

    How can i advertise and get people to subscribe to my magazine?

    My magazine @GooglePlayDeals has no subscribers except me. Most probably because it's new and was just created a few days back and I don't know how to advertise it on kbin. On the other site, there were subs we could link to to get subscribers.

    I've seen some people who have their magazine name next to their username. How do they do that? Probably saw it on lemmy world i think.
