  • If you’ve got a way to access your user profile via a browser (mobile works too), you can see your saved posts there.

    On any page, click/press the hamburger icon on the top-leftmost part of your screen. It’d open up a menu (or an area) where you can see your profile picture and username at the very bottom. There’s a triangle next to your username, click/press that.

    Another menu/area opens up that has options “Profile”, “Settings”, and “Logout”. Click/press “Profile” to see your user profile.

    You’re then taken to a different page (which you can directly go to via https://your.lemmy.instance/u/your_username, for example:‌‌‌ https://lemmy.world/u/AllGoesUpMustGoDown). There, you can choose between “Overview”, “Comments”, “Posts” and “Saved.” That last link (to your saved posts/comments) won’t be visible to others (I tried).

    PS: I tried looking for the same in wefwef, but I can’t find it as well.

    PPS: Weirdly enough, it might be faster to just go directly via the address bar of your (mobile) browser if you know what you’re doing, lol!


    Edit: Typos and shit. Added PPS part.





  • I’m aware that Richard Stallman had some questionable or inadequate behaviours. I’m not defending those nor the man himself. I’m not defending blindly following that particular human (nor any particular human). I’m defending a philosophy, not the philosopher. I claim that his historical vision and his original ideas are still adequate today. Maybe more than ever.

    This is really an important note. I’ve always maintained that while not every little one of Stallman’s ideas are gold, his ideas on things he’s got expertise on (especially open-source software) are pretty much on point—even if his ideas are a bit too idealistic and are seen as aspirational ideals rather than calls for action and the fact that a lot of them are painful for ordinary people to follow.










  • I’ve never really been much of a poster, so I’ve only managed to earn roughly 6.5k karma (shared across a few accounts) in my almost a decade in Reddit.

    While it feels nice to have that feeling of validation upon seeing my response being invited, I didn’t really feel going out of my way to be more active for some reason.


  • Arch Linux with KDE Plasma

    Had previous experience on Linux Mint way back, then Ubuntu. Had Manjaro with‌ XFCE for a couple of years before moving on to my current one.

    Moving on to Arch, btw, wasn’t my idea. Someone convinced me to let him have a go at converting my Manjaro installation to Arch. It was an interesting experience, but not one that we would want to go through ever again.



  • The charges of terrorism are strongly rejected by the defendants. They denounce a political trial, a prosecution and a lack of evidence. In particular, they point to decontextualized remarks and the use of trivial facts (sports and digital practices, reading and listening to music…)[3]. For their part, the police acknowledged that by the end of the investigation - and ten months of intensive surveillance - no “precise project” had been identified[4].

    The state has just been condemned for keeping the main defendant in solitary confinement for 16 months, from which he was only released after a 37-day hunger strike. A second complaint, awaiting trial, has been lodged against the repeated illegal strip-searches to which a defendant was subjected in pre-trial detention[5].

    If those translations from DeepL are sufficiently accurate, at the very least, the main defendant was arrested has been held for 16 months.

    As for the rationale, I suppose it’s their relationship with the ‘far-left’ that have caught the police attention. There was a link to the French Wikipedia article on the arrests and the entire incident. From there, I gleaned that the ‘far-left’ relationship is with the YPG.

    According to the Wikipedia article, there’s still ongoing cases against the defendants.

    I hope someone else who’ve got a better grasp of both the French langauge and the Rovaja/YPG situation give their two cents since I’ve got no idea.
