50501? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] Mechanize@feddit.it 22 points 1 day ago

50501 (short for "50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement") is an American progressivist grassroots political organization founded to protest the policies and actions of the second Donald Trump administration in the United States.

From wikipedia

The parade I assume is in reference to the ~~birthday~~ military parade for the 250th Army Anniversary of June 14, 2025. More here: wikipedia

You could try asking in !caffeitalia@feddit.it too, feddit.it is an italian speaking instance

Excuse me, did you say breezewiki?

Oh sorry, I must have misheard!

Occasional weird spam posts by otherwise (seemingly) legitimate users? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[–] Mechanize@feddit.it 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if you are referring to this, but I've noticed some people overriding their comments after around 24h they have posted them - probably running an automated script. I assume they are doing it for perceived privacy reasons.

a transporter accident.

...that's a weird way to write O'Brien 🤔

[Meta] A lot of my OC edits are gone. in c/tenforward@lemmy.world

[–] Mechanize@feddit.it 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you still have them you should consider uploading them to archive.org, or similar services, so you can more easily recover them in similar cases

It's sad, but currently inevitable, for fediverse servers to disappear with everything they hold

Is Proton Down? in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world

[–] Mechanize@feddit.it 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

They have finally updated the Status Page

Not a lot of information, but better than nothing

Seems like Proton is having a bad evening in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world

[–] Mechanize@feddit.it 42 points 6 months ago (7 children)

Yeah, incredibly frustrating.
The only acknowledgement is from a volunteer mod on reddit that said an hour ago that "the team is aware and the status page will be updated shortly".

The fact I had to dig around to find that is really not a pleasing experience.

~~Their systems currently report that everything's fine, which - to be fair - could be a misreporting and change at any moment~~
~~Anecdotally all their landing sites load fine for me~~

~~Tackling it from the other side: could it be a problem with your DNS?~~
~~Did you try with another network? Like wifi or mobile data~~

~~EDIT: Formatting~~

EDIT: Tried again and now the email service seems to not be loading

EDIT 2: It is being reported on other sites too, but currently there's nothing official I could find, not even on their Mastodon or Twitter various accounts

EDIT 3: On reddit the volunteer mod alex_herrero wrote an hour ago that "The team is aware and [the] status page will be updated shortly".

Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store (feddit.it)

Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store without any warnings or additional details due to "not meeting the requirements for the Family Program". Compared to Google Maps and other maps apps rated for 3+ age, there are no ads or in-app purchases in Organic Maps. We have asked for an appeal.

As a temporary workaround for the Google Play issue, you can install the new upcoming Google Play update from this link: https://cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/OrganicMaps-24081605-GooglePlay.apk

The Announcement on various Networks: Fosstodon Post
Twitter Post
Telegram Post

If you don't know what Organic Maps is, it is an alternative to OsmAnd and google maps, more info on the official site (link) and GitHub.

Maybe an error? Honestly this is a weird one. I hope we will learn more in the coming hours.

You can still get it on the other channels, like F-Droid or Obtainium. Still, we all know that not being on the Play Store is an heavy sentence for any Android app.

EDITs

Added F-Droid link.
Fixed Typo in the obtainium link.
