X is still such a stupid fucking name. I feel cringe saying that.

I won’t. It will always be twitter, and he bought it because people made fun of him.

As long as twitter.com redirects there, it’s twitter 👐

He offered to buy it as a joke, and was forced to finish the transaction because he had taken it too far by actually signing contracts and putting money down. He was gonna go “Just kidding” and pull out, but then the courts told him that this already constituted a legally binding sell and if he tried to back out now he’d go to jail for fraud.

X11 is such a great name. Imagine instead of x.com opening x.org.

I always just hear it referred to as xorg, which I pronounce “x-org”

Surprised to see no one has said cigarettes yet. Not only are you poisoning yourself, it’s harmful to everyone else around you that has to inhale that shit.

Railison OP , (edited ) to memes in When you write your academic papers in Word

I wrote my thesis in LaTeX, which is very unusual for my discipline. Now that I’m done with that, everything we’re doing it’s collaborative Word docs. Collaboration features in 365 have been transformative. (Remembering the dark old days of emailing the Word doc around like a hot potato.)

I’m very used to Word and can get it to do some great stuff that most people don’t even know about, but I wouldn’t touch it for something over 20,000 words.

As for LaTeX, I was fine once I got a good template going. Writing one sentence per line is a fantastic way to draft. But there are some fine tuning things that I remember took up a lot of time that I would have had no problem fixing in Word. I distinctly remember trying to get tables to look right when you had paragraphs or dot points in cells.

Oh, and that one reference whose URL refused to break in the line and instead just went off the page. I never found a fix for that.

xavier666 ,

For LaTeX tables, use www.tablesgenerator.com. It’s a lifesaver. For URLs, I sometimes used footnotes and sometimes used embedded links.

Don_Dickle OP ,

nothing against you but damn has that been inactive for a while. What is with the users of lemmy?

LastoftheDinosaurs ,
@LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com avatar

I’m not sure, but you could probably revive it or build your own. All it really takes is a few active users to start a new community. I’m looking for a new project and wouldn’t mind helping you get this or another community off the ground.

Here are a couple of posts I found when looking for more information on the current state of Lemmy AMAs. They show community sentiment and past attempts to get started.

It’s actually surprisingly easy to revive one if you give at least the minimum amount of effort required to be the only poster for a bit.

I’ve revived ones with zero posts for months.

200ok ,

Agreed. I also find that commenting and supporting good posts helps encourage more activity.

Don_Dickle OP ,

The mod is basically MIA…but did post there hoping for some feedback. Out of curiousity are you a mod or know about modding because I am looking for one to help me out at lemmy.world/c/amarequests

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: !amarequests

What did you have in mind? I was hoping to work together.

Don_Dickle OP ,

same here to be honest I have no clue how to mod or outfit the community. Don’t know if you can view past posts but was asking anyone to help me

LastoftheDinosaurs ,
@LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com avatar

I understand, I actually saw you talking about it the other day. I’ll burn out quickly this way though because it’s one-sided. Is there a better way?

Don_Dickle OP ,

Not that I know of . Just looking for someone to help me with a banner or something and a side bar. And put requests on whoever like i did for poets and got the feed back so basically anything you come up with and post it and post questions you want answered.

LastoftheDinosaurs ,
@LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com avatar

I see the potential and I want to help. Count me in.

Don_Dickle OP ,

cool don’t know how to make you a mod or anything or who to message to help me but am saving this. Can you contact people or post requests or anything?

LastoftheDinosaurs ,
@LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com avatar

Sure, I can do both of those. I’ll try to understand what made the original AMA community successful to see if we can replicate that in any way. I might have some ideas for you by tomorrow.

Don_Dickle OP ,

cool Currently in the states an am usually up by 8am and pass out or go to sleep at 10.

can ,

They need to comment on a post then you can make them a mod as one of the actions on the comment.

Don_Dickle OP ,

What do you mean?

can ,

For how to make someone a mod.

A ton of subreddit replacement communities were created around the time of Reddit’s API changes, and there simply weren’t enough users to keep them going.
