Cool, now do it over Ping!

It’s really cool, but the example doesn’t produce any sensible output? If you have created something like this, why wouldn’t you have your demo output something sensible like Fibonacci or 1337 or whatever.

Right hand rule ftw. I learned that from a sweat old lady who was the Health Minister of Beijing. I trust in her wisdom.

I understand the frustration, but I do believe this is a strength of Lemmy. Small; individual communities is what gives incentive to stay independent, and if you just want the broader content, that’s exactly where and why large instances like Lemmy World is also beneficial.

I think part of the issue stems from Lemmy not having a good way of tracking a topic / community defined on multiple instances, so you have to track a community on each instance. People want the most active one, so they track the one on LW since it has the most members. And since they track mostly communities on LW it also makes sense to just use LW as the primary.

If Lemmy could have some inbuilt support for tags or subscribing to a topic / multi-instance community, I think people could feel less inclined of defaulting to the largest instance.

I wouldn’t use Beehaw as the standard, they are way too strict on their moderation in many’s opinion.

It’s true that you tend to be more tech literate if you choose Linux. However, it doesn’t mean you can’t be tech literate if you choose Windows or MacOS, which many Linux “advocates” seem to firmly believe. The same goes for “power users” arguments etc.

lol what does “power users” have to do with it? Do you seriously believe power users only run Linux?

That was so boring. I bought it on iTunes. Watched maybe an hour. Have had it available offline for several long haul flights and trips. Still can’t be bothered to finish it.

I spent the rest of the day getting a new apartment, moved out, and used the night to move into my own, free space void of her. Not sure I slept, watched my favorite movies she didn’t like etc.

I only learned that she had already been seeing someone else the day after. That flipped a switch in me and all the pain went away. I knew she was the wrong choice and glad I was out of it and free.

Somehow, that she cheated made it much, much easier than that she just didn’t love me anymore. It turned into a f*ck you good riddance moment.

Her new bf even helped me moved some larger stuff a week later, I didn’t care at all, I was so done with her. Never looked back.

Just the ability to replace items URLs in the result is such a great feature. I get rid of all Google / bing AMP stuff, reroute all Reddit answers to old.Reddit etc.

I guess I could have kept those 55 bitcoins and just sat on them instead of investing them into some scam and losing them, that would have been a bit more funny?

Or it’s “funny” how rich I’d be if I sold them on $60k evaluation? Haha…

I’ve used them for extension, as it allows you to attach a second, regular USB cable to it.

Well first year I’d finally get a RTX 4090, new car, temporary new home and quite a lot to family and friends. Year 2-4 would be saving up / buying connecting property towards my dream home, and then year 5-10 would be saving up towards a sailing yacht. After that probably some of the fancy coffee equipment that James Hoffman uses.

I agree, I thought I had it from that linked report, but there seems to be the three year average. With those numbers, Denmark moves to nr one, one point ahead of Norway which is then tied with Iceland, and Sweden moves up one point ahead of Finland.

As this is such a simple way to do it though, these minor points between the top countries does not mean anything. All these countries are safe choices.

This is just a simple aggregation based on rank, such that the lowest score wins.

Edit: There is no difference in score between Norway and Denmark, I tried to number both as 1 but can’t figure out the correct markdown. Finland and Sweden also shares the same aggregate score. And Australia refuses to get in line.

My take today after observing for some weeks, is that Lemmy fills all MY needs. Reddit will probably not die. Threads seems to be a hit.

I just don’t care enough. Yeah, I wish everyone stopped using Reddit and Meta apps, but Lemmy is certainly not ready for 500 million new users right now anyway, and if they were, moderation would just be hell again.

I haven’t used Reddit since Apollo shut down unless it’s the only place still I can get in touch with some business, and I’ve blocked Threads on my network and devices.

I’m very happy with this. It would be nice if some cool, open source, free, tolerant and loving network would pop up to save 14-18 year olds and our next generation from manipulative commercial SoMe, but honestly Lemmy would probably never be that.

My only concern currently is that lemmy.world want to allow Threads for the time being while I see absolutely nothing to be gained from that.

What’s the DNS I need to block to never inadvertently get sent to anything Threads related?
