New account since lemmyrs.org went down, other @Deebsters are available.
metux is Enrico Weigelt, the dev behind Xlibre, the new fork of X11. He’s quite controversial, partly due to claiming to want to keep politics out of development by filling his posts with alt-right dog whistles, as well as being an antivaxer and having some… er… revisionist views of history.
I’m guessing by the recipes you mean Southern USA. I thought okra was from somewhere in Asia, but Wikipedia tells me it’s from East Africa (Ethiopia, Eritrea and “East Sudan” - which is kinda funny as there’s a Sudan and South Sudan).
Are you saying you think it’s ridiculous to end support “already”?
I think it’s likely that anyone still using 486s isn’t updating software anyway, so it’s unlikely to matter aside from niches like retro devices. Luckily, open source means that if there’s a genuine desire there’ll probably be a fork to provide it.
The duplicate content thing is kinda impossible to solve perfectly. Some people will tell you it’s a feature, and it can be interesting to see the different instances’ comment sections (especially after moderation), but yeah it can be annoying to have your feed dominated by a few stories.
The default web front-end will merge crossposts, but won’t if they’re multiple posts to the same URL. I think some of the apps do have that deduplication as a feature, but I couldn’t tell you which.
I remember the same problem from my Reddit days, but there wasn’t generally so many similar, overlapping communities.
From the Lemmy docs:
My default is set to
This is the newest sorting option, I think, and it helps me not miss posts from the smaller comms - particularly ones where people are asking a question and there’s been no engagement. Ideally I’d like to have Mastodon-style lists so I could have “quiet comms” or something and check them all every so often.
I will switch to new or top 6h/24h if I’ve been on recently and just want to see what’s fresh. Top all time or 1y if I’m looking at new-to-me comms so I can see what type of thing to expect from it.
There’s no algorithm here*, so use the different sorting options (for both posts and comments), as well as setting your favourite as default once you see what works for you.
* the different sort options are of course algorithms, but I mean there’s no automatic, manipulative system like YouTube’s “The Algorithm”, Facebook, TikTok, etc.
Voting doesn’t tune your algorithm, so I’d say only use downvoting for things that are low quality, trolling, in the wrong sub, duplicate posts, etc. Your votes aren’t private, by the way - although Lemmy itself doesn’t display voters’ names, that info is in every server’s database, and some other software in the Fediverse does show them.
There are quite a few apps available, I like Voyager on Android and I stick to the default website on my computer.
Also these can be good sources:
I think scaled is better than hot otherwise you’ll never see anything from your small communities.
Sometimes I get downvotes that make no sense, so I just chose to believe it was an accident.
btw, you’ve typoed the name: altwiki makes me think it’s an alt-right version of Wikipedia.
But you’re misrepresenting my argument.
Hardly, I’m directly addressing your statement that case insensitive is intuitive to users, grandmas or otherwise - I give examples where it’s not initiative or obvious which filenames match. I didn’t mention ease of implementation at all.
The principle of least surprise is an important UX consideration, and your idea of effectively introducing collation and localising which files conflict is just trading one problem for another set of problems and suprises (e.g. copying directories between drives with different settings).
Case insensitive is more intuitive
Are these the same filename?
What about these?
Databases have different case-insensitive collations - these control what letters are equivalent to each other. The fact that there’s multiple options should tell you that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to case insensitivity.
This issue is only simple and obvious if you don’t know enough about it.
[MIT] does not allow removing the original license and purport that the code was created by someone else.
Sounds like it wouldn’t matter which licence he used. Shitty behaviour from Microsoft.
I love how short this article is; it’s really respectful of the reader’s time.
Not quite what you were asking for, but there is https://tomgroenwoldt.github.io/helix-shortcut-quiz/
It’s quite good for letting you know about things you didn’t know you could do, but sometimes it tells me I’m wrong because I’d do it a different way - e.g. I’d go to line 13 by :13 but it wants 13G.
Also, from within Helix you can do space ? to get the list of commands and any bindings they’re on.
edit: also, FYI Helix and similar are modal, not modular (although there is a plugin system on the way).
Still interesting, though. I looked for any more up-to-date news and didn’t find any articles, although the ISP’s site says they’re expanding in 2025.
I have Tasker running, and you can set it up to do this too. Between ntfy and Google’s version I think I’m covered already!
Most of the manga I have is amateur translated stuff, so the metadata quality varies with release groups.
The graphic novels are generally retail releases, but sometimes I still want to edit to get rid of marketing words (e.g. the title might mention how it’s now a Netflix series or something).
Yeah, I hate those little dots and I inevitably jump through the hoops until I’ve clicked enough things to make them go away.
