Python does have a

there was nothing preventing women from having bank accounts before 1974.
Depending on which banks were available in her area, she may still have been unable to open a credit card despite it being legal to do so. Prior to 1974, it was legal for banks to require a man’s signature for a woman to open a credit card, and many banks chose to require this. According to this article from the Smithsonian Magazine, some banks also applied a 50% reduction to womens’ wages when calculating the credit card limit for an applicant.
I agree that the facts are very frequently misrepresented.

Sjmarf@sh.itjust.worksto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?English1342·4 months agoCommunity-wise there’s !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al
Sjmarf@sh.itjust.worksto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•I read somewhere that lemmy is planning to edit links so that they point to your instance, how will this be handled?English12·4 months agoYou can read up on the conversation on the GitHub issue here.
TL;DR: the current system on the (unreleased) 1.0 codebase is that your Lemmy instance will replace all Lemmy URLs in posts/comments with the equivalent URLs on your own instance. In the issue I linked, some concerns are raised about this system and various other options are discussed. It’s possible that the way it works will change before Lemmy 1.0 is released.
Sjmarf@sh.itjust.worksto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a way on Lemmy to hide/filter posts with chosen keywords?English6·4 months agoLemmy doesn’t support this natively, but many clients do. Off the top of my head:
- Tesseract (desktop)
- Voyager (web frontend designed for mobile. I believe you need to install the app rather than using the website to use keyword filters)
- Mlem (iOS)
- Arctic (iOS)
- Thunder (Android & iOS)
- Sync (Android; I’ve heard Sync is unmaintained though)
Assuming you’re on desktop, Tesseract is probably your best bet. It might also be possible to get Voyager working. Some instances (like sh.itjust.works) run their own Tesseract instances (https://tesh.itjust.works/), but lemm.ee doesn’t. You’d have to use some other Tesseract instance, specifically one that allows connecting to any Lemmy instance (https://tesh.itjust.works/ is for sh.itjust.works accounts only). E.g. https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

Sjmarf@sh.itjust.worksto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Lemmy Just Broke the 54k MAU Record Set During the 2023 API Exodus!English146·5 months agoWorth noting is that what counts as an “active user” has changed between now and then. During the Reddit API exodus, an “active user” was a user who had posted or commented in the past month. Now, it includes users who have voted. If the 54k MAU record was set using the first algorithm, it is likely that the MAU using the new algorithm (which includes voting) would have been much higher.
Sjmarf@sh.itjust.worksto Games@sh.itjust.works•Valve bans all Steam games that force players to watch advertisements [edit: Not a new policy, see comments]English5·6 months agoYes. It’s $6.99/mo for access to a load of games with no ads or IAPs. Half of the games on there are only available on Apple Arcade, the others are editions of regular App Store games but with no ads and all the IAPs already unlocked.
It kinda sucks that Apple gatekeeps certain games behind the subscription though… I wanted to play Mini Motorways on mobile, but it’s only available through Apple Arcade. For comparison Mini Metro is a OTP of $5 iirc.
Sjmarf@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Can you login to the mobile apps with selfhosted Lemmy?English2·6 months agoMobile apps should allow you to log into any instance. My Lemmy client won’t connect to lemmy.rip either, and fails with the following error:
The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “lemmy.rip”, which could put your confidential information at risk.
This is also what I see when I try to connect to
lemmy.rip
in the browser:I am able to bypass this warning and see the site in the browser.

Sjmarf@sh.itjust.worksto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Should sort by "controversial" and "most comments" include a time range?English12·7 months agoHere’s the relevant issue on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4340

Sjmarf@sh.itjust.worksto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Out of curiosity why is BeeHaw defederated from shitjustworks?English42·1 year agoLast I heard they want to switch to another platform, and don’t consider it worth upgrading to 0.19 because they’re leaving soon so it wouldn’t be worth the hassle.
This is pure guesswork on my part, but they could be waiting for Sublinks (a Lemmy-compatible backend) to get up to speed before switching to that. They say that the new platform is “compatible with all Lemmy apps”, and Sublinks is the only project I know of that fits that criteria.

Sjmarf@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphonesEnglish14·1 year agoOC isn’t claiming that the shift in the industry is solely Apple’s fault:
I don’t hate Apple but I do hate their influence
The reality is that what OC said is exactly what happened. Apple removed the headphone jack to coerce people into buying AirPods. Everyone else released their own wireless earbuds to compete, and also removes their headphone jacks for the same reason.
The Lemmy UI doesn’t allow you to see others’ private messages, no, but you shouldn’t consider them to be private. It’s possible for instance admins to read them, and in the past there’s been exploits allowing anyone to read them. If you need more secure messaging, use Matrix instead.
