Arguably, the fix should be to “it” since anon is a utility account, not a user.

In Deep Space 9, Jake Sisko (the station commander’s son) is a journalist for the Federation News Service. There’s a good episode where he ends up in a war zone and the story covers cowardice and PTSD.

This a great answer in a sea of slightly odd food choices. It’s healthy for kids to do this, apparently.

Those marine drones are five and a half metres long - so they’re like speedboats, not those little hovering ones or those enormous UAVs.

I assume it’s just a coincidental interaction. I mean, it’s not like yeast wants us to get drunk [citation needed].

TIL that Takara Tomy (the company that made the Transformers toys) designed the Transformable Lunar Robot LEV-2, aka Sora-Q (“sky sphere”):

I think part of the problem is that even when you’re subscribed to the small communities, it’s easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.

I’d like an option where you could “super subscribe” or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.

I’ve enjoyed what I’ve done with it so far, which is mostly little wasm projects. Once they finally get a proper editor I think it’ll really pick up adopters.

No, it’ll be fine 99% of the time.

Nowadays, feature detection is done within browsers, and the differences between browsers are small enough that servers generally will serve the same version of a page to all.

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. That also solves any ordering problem if you, say, you’re running local and elsewhere commands and a sync means pressing up gives you an unexpected item.

Sync seems like it’s going to be more pain than its worth unless you have all your machines configured the same. I’m not even running the same distros between machines…

I like this author’s attitude. I scoffed a bit when I read about “joy that can be found in mediocrity” but he’s right that you can (and should) just do something because you enjoy it or it’s good for you.

Agreed - it’s 25 minutes without filler or repetition. Good stuff.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. Do you mean Lemmy communities, Lemmy instances, or something else?

Bad link 👎

This article seems to be an incomplete pasting of an old article: What Did Ada Lovelace’s Program Actually Do? I was suspicious when it said “A contemporary interpretation of Ada’s punch card stack using JavaScript might resemble the following” but didn’t have any code.

The real tl;dr is it calculated terms of the Bernoulli series.

Tris, who’s behind the excellent No Boilerplate YouTube channel offers mentoring. I don’t know if he has spaces or if he’s in your budget, but he’s got experience explaining things and clearly knows his stuff.

Downvotes are disabled on Beehaw, and I believe that downvotes from other instances don’t federate - i.e. they’re only visible on the instance the user downvoted from. If you’re on a massive instance and you view a popular community you’ll still get “useful” numbers of downvotes but otherwise it’ll mostly be upvotes.

I think Lemmy does need a more nuanced downvote system (e.g. you need to select a reason or there’s a quota or something), but I’m not sure how it’d work with the wider fediverse.

Edit: I should have scrolled more, two people had already written this comment).

It’s astonishing and terrible to see populist politicians still saying that climate change is a hoax - and getting elected. It’s never been more obvious that what scientist have been saying about global warming (e.g. Exxon’s scientists have been saying since 1977) is true and having real world consequences today.

If you’re on Windows, you can use Win + .

If you’re on Linux, try ctrl + shift + e

I’m surprised you say you don’t know what the 😭 face means, since it’s just exaggerated crying. Is it because they’re too small, or that you suspect there’s some implied agreement/subtext you’re not party to?

I can see why people wouldn’t know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it’s not for the intended (I assume…) use.
