Did you go to trade school to become a machinist?


Containers are no crutch. I love containers and use them for everything. They’ve fully replaced VMs and bare metal for me, they’re just easier to use and manage. Honestly if that’s what’s stopping you from experiencing the best open source image software I’ve ever used, it’s your loss.


Thanks for the details - I’m sure it’s intentional that Daylio makes it quite the circus to go through. I’m excited about Journiv in general, so I might switch over once mood tracking is all set. However, it’d still be great to be able to import Daylio as I have around 2,000 entries :)


I prefer “scaled”, which is even more like a recommendation system.


Think you missed the two other links there!


This post has been seen at least four times on Lemmy so far (including this post):


They don’t just post OSS links, they cross post almost everything from somewhere else. This was one of those posts, although they added the link to the project (the OP didn’t, it was just an image).


Here’s a list to start with, for now. I’m sure they’ll make another account to continue to make posts like this one and freeboot content in the future, so you’ll probably want to search every now and then to be sure.





I’m not the one that needs the higher ground here, so it’s pointless to say I’m trying to take the higher ground. I’m not the one freebooting content, OC or not. I always properly link posts, not only to give credit for creating or finding the content, but also so that people know there is more discussion elsewhere, including those with screen readers. I also only post from one account, so that people can block my posts if they please. You rapidly switch between accounts, further masking your freebooting behaviors. I mention this not to take the high ground, but to show you that it’s possible and easy to simply provide links in your reposts. I don’t even really care that you repost, I care more about how you’re reposting, which is probably the worst, most user-unfriendly way of doing it that I’ve seen since reddit.
I didn’t dodge it. There are comments in my link that you continue to ignore. I’m not going to do the reading for you, especially since I already went back and provided you the link which you clearly visited. Because of your laziness or ignorance of the fact that Lemmy’s cross post functionality is buggy at best, it looks like you’re the only one posting to those users. You know what would fix the weird image linking issue? Properly attributing your cross post. It’s not hard, it’s not difficult, and it’s not time consuming. It’s only difficult if you’re reposting hundreds of posts like a spam network, which is exactly what you seem like to users that don’t know any better.


Why are you just copy and pasting the same comment now? You don’t need to actually spam me. I’m only going to reply to one of these comments.
When this was last brought up to you, two people said it wasn’t working for their apps: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/15393162
You ignored them, conveniently. I can also attest that it doesn’t show for Boost a lot of the time, especially when you repost memes that are just images. And before you say it, no, it’s not because I’m defederated with those instances - Lemmy.today isn’t defederated with a single instance. And even if that weren’t the case, you should still link back to the original post to give proper credit, to at least let users know it wasn’t your content.
You’re not adding friction. You’re basically a freebooter. You don’t care about giving people credit, you appear to want the credit. I don’t understand why this is such a difficult concept for you to understand when multiple people have told you that the cross post button doesn’t appear for them. Probably because you’d rather claim the content as your own with no acknowledgment that it was sourced from someone else. You seem to only be doing it because it adds friction for you: you can’t stand to give a post five seconds of your time because you have to freeboot content as fast as possible, for god knows why. You’d rather look like a spam network than ever give people links to the original post.
And yes, it does do nesting of posts. Because it is working as intended. It clearly shows that you weren’t the original author. But no, you’d rather mask that as much as you can get away with. You know what I do when I cross post something multiple times? I un-nest it once if it’s nested twice. It’s literally that easy. Oh no… you have to delete a few “>”!! That’s so hard for you, I’m so sorry.
I don’t care if you hate ML. I hate ML as an instance too. However, I’m not about to steal content from ML users just because I hate the ML admins. You are defeating the purpose of federation and feed curation, and basically acting like a reddit poweruser. You want to put your motivations and ideals onto others, without them even knowing that you’re doing it. Not only are you freebooting, you’re masking your behavior and usually not acknowledging that the post isn’t yours in the comments.


I’m unfortunately going to repeat myself twice in this post (since you did), these do not work in all frontends so it looks like you’re just stealing content. Posting the link directly in the post will always work, 100%. A link to the original author is not the same as a link to the original post, and cross post functionality in Lemmy is buggy at best.
If your problem is linking to ML, then you are defeating the point by your own logic, since according to you, all Lemmy frontends automatically add the cross post link to ML to your posts. You just shouldn’t rip posts from ML if you have a problem with merely linking to the OP and giving the original author proper credit.
It makes it worse if you’re actually using Boost to do these reposts, because that means that you’re actively stripping the automatic cross post link out.


As has been explained to you before by me and many, many others: this functionality does not always work as expected, and a bunch of apps are missing it entirely. That is the reality.
Do you know what would always work?
A link to the OP directly in the post. Just like you did for the author, but for the actual post. If you’re using Boost, why are you removing the cross post text that is automatically included for this very reason? It really makes it seem like you just want to take others posts and claim them as your own.
This would also work for the meme reposts you do, by the way.


It’s pretty depressing that you downvote those who do what you fail to do: link to the original post instead of basically stealing their content. It is very confusing to me why this is so difficult to understand and fix, it’s literally built in to most apps, such as boost.
Yet, you downvote the people who rightfully link to the OP. And no, linking the author (like you’ve done with one of my posts in the past) does not count. I didn’t know that you stole reposted one of my posts until months later, for example.


They never properly cross post content. Sometimes they’ll add the author of the post, but it would be much better to properly link to the original post. I’ve tried and failed to explain this to them in the past. This, along with their dozens of accounts, makes them seem like a spam network that steals content from other users. It’s giving reddit karma farming, except here karma isn’t supposed to matter. Note that I don’t think they are a spam network, but this user behaves like one and refuses to ever make changes to the way they post.
They claim to be “supporting smaller instances” simply by posting with accounts from said instances, even though most people don’t care to look at instances of users. In reality, they’re giving these instances a bad reputation since they look like they’re supporting a spammer.
Every time this is brought up, they post the same BS spoiler that doesn’t ever acknowledge the root of their distasteful behavior, and downvote those who call them out. It’s super fucking annoying.


Surprisingly, Craigslist is rather active in my area. It’s still not as active as marketplace, but it makes it possible to get by without having an FB account.


Nope, it gets all of the power from the slot, no pin plug needed!


The B50 was plug and play for me. Obviously not a super powerful card compared to the competitors, however for 16GB of vram in a tiny package (with only 70W of power usage) it’s unbeatable. I did play some games as well, and it was decent enough to get me by for three weeks while my 7900 was getting RMA’d.
I use a mix of docker containers and pods (with quadlets). I actually prefer quadlets where I can use them, though.
