Fyi your bot is apparently trying to “correct” people posting from Mastodon too. Seems like it’s replying to every comment that comes through from Mastodon’s side. Example: lemmy.world/post/1628806
Yes, I know about that and I think it’s working as intended, only the message sucks. I already changed it today, but now that I’m looking at it again, it still sucks :/
Do you have any idea for a better message? There are two messages currently, one for Lemmy users and one for non-Lemmy users:
Lemmy users message: Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this:
Non-Lemmy users message: Hi there! The links in your text lead away from the user’s instance, here are fixed links that stay on each user’s instance:
Well to post to Lemmy from Mastodon, the Mastodon user has to tag the community. That tag displays as a link on the Lemmy side. The Mastodon user has no control over the format of said link, as it’s a Mastodon user tag. So your bot shouldn’t be trying to correct it at all in this case.
It’s just not needed though, is the thing. These “links” aren’t links that are posted for people to follow, they’re just an artifact of having posted from Mastodon. As we get more interaction between the two platforms, your bot as currently written will reply to every single post and comment made from Mastodon, ever. It serves literally no purpose in this situation other than to clog up threads.
I’m not trying to start a fight or anything. If you absolutely won’t be convinced that it’s pointless replying to Mastodon tags, maybe you can at least consider limiting it to replying only on the main post? Otherwise, again, every single comment in the thread that is made from Mastodon is going to get the same bot response.
Not sure if you’re aware but this is still happening. In fact, looking at the bot’s posts today is it possible you accidentally set it to only respond to Mastodon threads? 😅
Have a look in the communities. Reading the community explains the community. Their main problem is that most cities are built and often rebuilt to only work with cars and then people use that to claim that other systems doesn’t work.
I don’t because no antivirus can protect you from yourself, I learned that the hard way while I was still using Windows many years ago.
I had antivirus and antimalware on Windows and I kept them updated and ran scans regularly, almost religiously, than I got a malware that antivirus couldn’t detect (they take a while to be updated with new viruses/malware that constantly come out) and the only way to remove it was a blank new install following a specific procedure to clean it all.
That day I understood that no matter how attentive you are about your antivirus, you’re never really protected until it’s you who learns what to do and what not while accessing the web, so I did a bit of research about how to better configure my PC, how to better recognize phishing/scamming, using adblocker, don’t download random software, stuff like that.
I basically learned “how to behave”. I stopped using antivirus/antimalware on Windows and I didn’t catch a virus since, then I switched to Linux and I still apply the same principles of “good behavior”.
That’s not to say I’m immune to viruses, I’m certainly not, but my mindset now is that if I ever catch a virus, it will be my fault for doing something I shouldn’t have done, and I’ll do my best to learn from it instead of relying on software to do that for me.
It’s more of a “fuck car dependent infrastructure” thing. In America it’s basically impossible to live without a car in most places. We don’t need to live this way and we should have the option to walk, bike, bus, train, etc as well as drive.
Try walking to the grocery store in a suburb and you’ll quickly get sick of walking through big empty parking lots and along roads without sidewalks as cars whip past. I wouldn’t even try biking since drivers will run you off the road. If there even is a bus it’ll run every 2 hours and be 15 minutes late. And there is no train because we tore up the rail system that built this country to make auto company owners even richer
I'm living in Dublin and even here folks from mainland Europe complain about the lack of non-car related infrastructure, but friends of ours from Indiana absolutely loved being able to get around for the most part without a car. They repeatedly mentioned things like sidewalks just not existing in many places, which seems crazy to me, everywhere I've lived has at least been pedestrian friendly enough.
You should probably run Adguard home inside your home network. And can you disable your routers DHCP server? Then you can use Adguard home for that. The DHCP server assigns every computer inside the network it’s IP address and DNS server
That’s what I started on! Honestly, RAM is likely to be your biggest bottle neck. Pretty much anything will be doable though, with enough swap and a fast drive. Just don’t expect great performance.
I installed debian with KDE, so far looks great, not too many problems in setting up my environment, KDE is great and i love the stability that debian seem to be based on, i don’t really care if my software gets a couple of year old, as long as it keeps working without problems!
My Linux journey started on fvwm2, but after that I ran enlightenment for a good few years. Probably from 1999 to 2005, when I switched to blackbox/fluxbox.
Today I expect a DE to have great integration for managing wifi/bluetooth. It wasn’t needed 20 years ago, because computers didn’t have these fancy things. I haven’t really tried enlightenment recently, but it feels like that’s where it’s lacking today.
It is mostly serious. There is plenty of scientific evidence on how car centric infrastructure, city planning and policies have destroyed walkable cities and require an in proportion extreme amount of space and accommodations. Cars as a means of transportation are wholly inefficient, you could put several dozen daily commuters into a single bus, multiple times that in a single subway train.
The only space where cars are not short term replaceable to great improvement of the general habitability of the area is in rural regions where distances are huge, people are spread out widely and communal infrastructure is simply too inflexible to accommodate the needs of the citizens.
No they’re real. Some people are just extremely passionate about disliking cars, mostly due to environmental impact vs the greener alternatives although there are likely other reasons too.
Personally, sitting in a seat with plenty of room and casually watching videos, browsing kbin, or eating some food is a strictly superior experience to the constant vigilance of city traffic while not being allowed to move from my place.
