@stevecrox@kbin.social avatar

Honestly all of that would stress me out.

The few times my partner and son leave me alone, I tidy the entire house and get every chore done with the goal of being able to do nothing (except walk the dog).

Being able to shower, dress and chill out to my own schedule is heaven. I would probably put star trek, Stellaris or Minecraft on. Maybe.. make a coffee and eat chocolate all day with a book

@TeaHands@lemmy.world avatar

Ah yes you are like my husband, he always takes the opportunity to clean. Day to day we meet in the middle and run a functional household, but give either of us some alone time and we’re straight to our respective extremes 😄

At least we all agree on Star Trek, anyway.

Only text content is fully federated. Image posts are cached on other instances, but only the home instance keeps a “permanent” copy of the image

Pigeons are desensitized to human activity due to their generations of living in cities and around people.

Dick_Justice , to cooking in What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years?
@Dick_Justice@lemmy.world avatar

When I have to use parchment paper, I crumple the paper ip into a little ball first, then press it out flat into the cooking vessel (sheet pan or loaf pan or whatnot) and it lays flatter/conforms to the pan better without rolling up all over the place rather than trying to just use a pristine sheet of parchment. It really works great.

LPT - go buy a box of half-size sheets from a restaurant supply store. Webstaurant was my go to until they sent their shipping prices into the stratosphere. I buy 1000 sheets at a time and store it with the sheet pans (the box is only a couple inches tall) and it lasts forever. Costs about $50-60 a box iirc which is way cheaper than buying in rolls.

Basically, data storage is cheap. Currently it can cost as low as $0.01/day for other instances to store the content that is being sent by the largest communities. Otherwise instances can clear out old data and let the larger instances be the archive hosts.

ginerel , to youshouldknow in YSK: How Lemmy Works
@ginerel@kbin.social avatar

We can see their content, they can't see ours.

Wasn't defederation a two-way thing? Basically the whole instance (website, in laymen terms) blocked you. Nothing goes in, nothing goes out between you two.

Falmarri ,
@Falmarri@lemmy.world avatar

Even if that's the case, I THINK this instance can get the content transitively through the other lemmies it does federate with. I could be wrong there as well though

blackbelt352 , to cooking in What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years?

If you’re making rice without using a rice cooker, the amount of water you need is not quite a direct ratio like the package suggests. You need a 1:1 ratio of rice to water plus an additional quarter to half cup of water depending how firm you like your rice.

puppy , to nostupidquestions in What other less-toxic system could work instead of karma?

What we have right now in Lemmy strikes the current balance IMO. Individual comments are upvoted/downvoted. But no cumulative score.

Sir_Kevin , to nostupidquestions in What other less-toxic system could work instead of karma?
@Sir_Kevin@lemmy.world avatar

That real question is, what problem are we trying to solve? Then we can go from there.

PixelatedSaturn ,

In wondering about that myself. What is the problem?

blivet ,
@blivet@kbin.social avatar

Individual users having some sort of reputation is useful. I always thought it was handy on Reddit to be able to distinguish people I happened to disagree with from actual trolls. The latter always had pretty high negative karma scores, and it was good to know that there was no point in engaging with them.

Valdair ,

This is why it’s useful at the account level. It’s also useful at the post level in order to build a sorting algorithm which raises the most engaging/important/interesting submissions to the top. Within a community it is important to help define what that community is - irrelevant and low effort content is suppressed and relevant/high-effort gets boosted. Moderators can enforce this by just removing and pinning too, but that’s almost always too unilateral, and the voting system is generally better because it’s expected that then you get a representation of how people in that community feel about it. It’s a good system.

jayrhacker ,
@jayrhacker@kbin.social avatar

I can imagine some tweaks to help improve how karma is implemented:

  • Use Bayesan Inference to produce a 'shit/shinola score' for contributors instead simple up/down vote totals
  • Experiment with different recency biases for the score; you can trust that people will change over time
  • Generally figure out what you'll be using karma for and make sure you have a way to measure how well it's working
VGarK OP ,

I’ve googled Bayesan Interference, however I don’t understand what you meant by it. Could you elaborate please :)

FearTheCron ,

Here is a good general explanation of Bayesian inference.

I think @jayrhacker is suggesting using such techniques to predict “troll” or “not troll” given the posting history/removed comments/etc. My personal thought is that whatever system replaces karma, it should be understandable to the typical user. I think its possible Bayesian inference could be used in developing the system, but the end system should be explainable without it.

VGarK OP ,

Thanks for the link. To anyone that does’t know about Bayesian inference, do check it out!

Now I have an existencial crisis thanks to the video 😂 the funny part is that thats the same thing used to detect spam email…

FearTheCron ,

Spam detectors are pretty opaque by their nature. In contrast, karma is pretty easy to understand: “x number of people upvoted comments or posts from this user”. This lets people understand a score even if they don’t agree. If a karma replacement behaved like a spam detector, it would probably just annoy people.

Sporting brackets may be a better analogy. They are developed with statistics in mind but are understandable to the average sports fan. I think a karma replacement should have similar properties.

VGarK OP ,

That sounds awesome! You seem to be quite knowledgeable about mathematics. May I ask what is your background?

FearTheCron ,

Computer science. However, statistics is more of a hobby than anything. I am just intrigued by the idea of federated social media in general so I have thought a bit on how I would personally make it work. Perhaps I will make some more in depth blog posts about my ideas at some point.

Apollo_Katelo ,

That’s not something you hear very often lately.

boo_ , to linux in Does Anyone here use GoboLinux
@boo_@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I tried it like a year ago maybe and it was a very interesting concept, but I couldn’t find what it really brings to the table over Guix or Nix. I’ve used Guix quite a lot since then and found that the separation of packages was afaict very similar, with the added bonus of having a completely reproducible system. Maybe Gobo brings something that Guix/Nix does not, but in my time of testing it I couldn’t find anything.

me1k , to nostupidquestions in I can only log in when I change my password. Is there something I am missing? (11th day UPDATE)

I had this too. Try shortening your password to less than 40 characters, that fixed it for me.

zLurn OP ,
@zLurn@lemmy.world avatar

That is one of the first thing that I tried. The original password was 13 letters, 2 numbers and 3 symbols. Since then I tried multiple combination of passwords. It didn’t work.

Falmarri ,
@Falmarri@lemmy.world avatar

Try without symbols? I heard that dashes can confuse the backend

zLurn OP ,
@zLurn@lemmy.world avatar

Currently the password is 6 letters and 8 numbers. It doesn’t work either.

me1k ,

Weird one I found in the browser was that my password manager auto filling the password field can cause it to spin. I now just copy and paste my password, but add a letter and then remove it so Lemmy knows I entered something. Could be worth a shot?

zLurn OP ,
@zLurn@lemmy.world avatar

Already tried it. when I am attempting to log in I always type the password by hand. Thanks, tough.
