That sounds like the job a contestant on one of those HGTV home makeover shows would have:

“My husband is a stay at home dog dad, and I spend 30 minutes a month creating 2 or sometimes 3 social media posts. Our budget is $400,000.”

Curious if this going to affect google results in Searx. Not sure how it works (scraping page, API, etc)

It’s the basis for the receiving end of “beaming” power (long distance; not the induction kind used in wireless chargers).

Literally never, lol, except if I catch an episode of Married…with Children and the Larry Storch School of Acting / Heating and Air Conditioner Repair is mentioned.

Not that, specifically, though it might be indirectly?

I’m basing it off of one of Gyles Brandreth’s yarns where he described how he dealt with abusive constituents when he was a MP.

Dear sir or madam:

Some crackpot has written me an abusive letter, and they’ve signed your name at the bottom. […]

Whether he came up with that or adapted it from something prior, I don’t know.

Standard reply:

Dear sir or madam:

Some crackpot has written me an abusive message, and it seems they used your account to send it. I’m replying to you as a courtesy in case you wish to take action against this lunatic.

So many criminals returning to the scene of the crime. I wish I could laugh.

Wool socks if it’s winter and/or you live in a cold climate.

One thing I left out of my response, and am unsure of, is if duplicate memories would be “louder” when they’re brought back.

e.g. if there are 2 Dax symbionts that contribute the memories twice (up until the point they were duplicated), would those memories de-duplicate upon return or would they be more vivid because they were contributed twice?

Watched through The Drew Carey Show not too long ago, and this post reminds me of this exchange:

Mimi: I caught this perv in the ladies’ room.

Larry: Hey, I was taking a nap. There’s a couch in there! Why don’t we have a couch in the men’s room?

Drew: If there was a couch in the men’s room, would you want to sit on it?

Larry: Good point.

I think the TSC would take a pragmatic approach to it.

They already hide the fact that nearly 50% of the population is suitable to act as a host while only ~500 symbionts are available each year (e.g. a severe shortage of symbionts to initiates) . I think they would welcome the additional symbiont(s). Even if it’s a duplicate, it would still be able to bring unique experiences back once it starts rotating through new hosts.

That feature requires API 0.19.4 or higher. I’m still running 0.19.3

hackertalks is on 0.19.8, so if you log into that account from tesseract.dubvee.org, you should see that feature enabled.

My instance already blocks hex, grad, and ml, so I’m halfway there lol.

The politics/news communities here, though, are present but highly curated since many of them do not meet our standards for preventing misinformation. Seriously, our rules are very strict after I first got started with Lemmy and saw what a complete shit show worldnews at .ml was.

Defederating from the big 3 “extreme” instances is one thing and very doable. The problem with running a dedicated “no news/politics” instance would be preventing users from subscribing to any. The admin would have to on top of every news community that shows up and then administratively remove/hide those. That’s going to be a chore.

Both of these are web apps that can be “installed” to function in a traditional app-like experience and both largely mimic the Reddit app look/feel:

• Tesseract: Fairly closely mirrors “new” Reddit circa 2022-2023
• Photon: Fairly closely mirrors current “new” Reddit

Granted, both of those have some concessions for Lemmy (API limitations, federated paradigm, etc), but both are going for the “new” Reddit-like UX.

I develop Tesseract (itself a fork of an old version of Photon), and I’ve taken only what I like from Reddit’s app/web UI and left out what I didn’t.

Yeah, I don’t get the hate and intentional division being sowed there.

I’m not a fan of Ubuntu since they went all Thanos Snap (the final straw was replacing deb packages in apt with snap stubs), but I can applaud that they’re using Linux.

Just seems like low effort, pointless gatekeeping to me.

So you’re stereotyping a country of 341 million people based off of your personal interactions with a few of them on the internet?

We’re not a monoculture, bud. How would you feel if I asked “Why does it seem like Europeans have become so judgmental and preachy in the past years?”

Now, now, now. Let’s not be too quick to call it “disinformation” or “propaganda”. It could just be Respectful Dissent. Every Opinion Matters. /s

RCS is a whole can of worms. It’s presented like a carrier services (and carriers are in the mix, though often just for authentication), but it’s really a Google service. With Android, RCS connects directly to google’s mothership.

I believe on iOS those go to Apple’s servers which “peers” with google. Maybe search the RCS endpoint for Apple and see what comes up?

To get the current logged-in user’s details, that’s actually retrieved from /api/v3/site for…reasons, I guess?

Your function can remain the same, but change the api endpoint to /site Also, the user details will be in the my_user key from get site response.

Is there a reason you’re not using the lemmy-js-client? That will take care of a lot of the low-level fetching for you (and has TypeDocs which help you to know what response / form data is needed).

Your Original Function, Slightly Modified

 async function getLoggined() {
   try {
        const response = await fetch(`${api}/site`, {
            method: "GET",
            headers: {
                "Content-Type": "application/json",
                "Authorization": `Bearer ${lemmyToken}`
            }
        });
        alert(`Bearer ${lemmyToken}`);
        alert(await response.text());
        const data = await response.json();
        return data.my_user;
    } catch (error) {
        alert(`error while loading profile: ${error}`);
    }
}

how much mass we’ve lost to space with all of the shit we’ve flown to and let in space.

Shooting from the hip here, but probably a tiny, minuscule fraction of a fraction of a percent. I’d venture a guess we’ve lost more mass in atmospheric gases being ionized and stripped away from solar radiation than we have launched from the surface.
