I keep seeing bidets recommended. Ive thought about getting one, but I’m not sure.

Are there any vagina owners here that can testify to them? I’m worried it will just spray poop up into my bits.

My girlfriend loves the bidet. You will not spray poop up into your bits but I get your concern. We also have a dial, on ours, to change the angle to vagina-mode. Great for periods, allegedly, but it blasts me in the balls if I don't notice.

Ah yes, my favourite European country. They must be, they compete in the Eurovision after all. And usually with a better song than us. :)

Really? I thought it was just that the Aussies loved to watch Eurovision from the peanut gallery, then asked if they could come and play, and we collectively said yes we’d love to have you. :)

TeaHands ,
@TeaHands@lemmy.world avatar

As a self-certified Eurovision fanatic I feel qualified to butt in here.

That’s basically what happened, yes. Eurovision is open to all members of the European Broadcasting Union, and Australia became associate members by special arrangement. The EBU membership rather than a requirement to be in actual geographical Europe is also how we’ve had various other countries like Israel or even Morocco in past contests.

You have to search them up at least once so they fill some posts, but if you want comments somebody from your instance has to be actively subscribed:

There are directories of all the fediverse like browse.feddit.de that can help you discover easier.

Could you in theory just have a bot user that subs to all known instances?

mirisbowring ,

i did that partially. I have a bit user subscribed to many communities. Unfortunately that is a fully manual task - currently i don’t have an automated way of doing this

retiolus , to selfhosted in Populating self-hosted Lemmy instance
@retiolus@lemmy.cat avatar

I don’t think there’s a way of doing this automatically at the moment.

With Lemmy’s API you could set up a bot that takes care of listing all the local communities on a remote server and then searching them from yours, which would make them appear in your search results.

But if you want the publications of this remote community to federate with your server, you need to have a local user subscribed to it.

Lauchmelder OP ,

Ah, so someone needs to be actually subscribed to a community for their content to show up in All?

Alright I guess I’ll have to write a simple Bot that can do that for me then

ulu_mulu , to nostupidquestions in What's stopping people from making reddit apps that stay within the free API limits?
@ulu_mulu@lemmy.world avatar

As I understand it, API charges are for everyone, Apollo for example showed the app is within the limits, I think other app devs did the same.

While not wanting their data to be scraped for AI for free is indeed a valid reason, if it was the real reason they would have come up with different tiers of pricing like every other paid platform does.

Edit: Apollo was within the limits, but reddit changed the rules apparently …

kiwifoxtrot ,
@kiwifoxtrot@lemmy.world avatar

Not quite. The new rules are 100 api calls per minute per user per app. It used to be 100 api calls per minute per user. That means Apollo is limited to 100 api calls per minute for all users.

If someone were to have a private API key for personal use, it would be difficult to exceed the limit.

voidbanana , to fedditnu in Sweden

I nuläget verkar communityt !sweden vara fylld med svenskspråkiga trådar. Om det finns en förväntan om att enbart använda engelska där så verkar alla glatt ignorera det. Precis som på sweddit.

Det verkar lite onödvändigt att skapa en ny separat grupp “Sverige” för att skriva på svenska. Vi är väl än så länge försvinnande få, vi svenska lemmlar, så det är väl bra att hålla ihop?

dennisnedry ,

Efter ha funderat lite på det, så tycker jag att du har rätt. Det är lite onödigt att skapa ännu en kopia av “Sverige” community i hopp om att locka till oss användare.

Just nu är det lite guldrusch bland alla nya användare att karva ut den nya, populära community. Kanske är det en bra strategi att vi tar det lugna, skapar passande och främst kvalitativa communities här pa instansen, ser till att vi håller en bra standard (även om vi förtillfället inte har många användare) och så hoppas att folk hittar hit och vill stanna. Det får ta den tid det tar helt enkelt.

Men vi behöver iaf en allmän community för allmäna diskussioner, då just denna är till för frågor/diskussioner om själva instansen. Jag ska ta och skapa ett community för ändamålet.

Johannes ,
@Johannes@feddit.nu avatar

Det låter som en bra lösning, jag ser inte heller någon anledning att instansen måste växa supersnabbt och den största anstormningen av nya användare kan eventuellt avta nu när sweddit har öppnat igen. Då är det bättre att bygga ett community för folk som vill vara här, än ett för de som bara väntar på att olika subreddits skall öppna igen.

Det låter bra med ett allmänt community och du får gärna skapa ett sådant!

Andreas ,
@Andreas@feddit.dk avatar

Den största anstormingen kommer den 1:a juli när API-ändringarna går igenom och tredjepartsapparna stänger ner, men jag håller med dig. Vad tycker du att det allmänna communityt ska heta? Något i stil med “chatta” är fint och lätt att söka upp.

dennisnedry ,

Vad jag inte är helt säker på är vad sökfunktionen söker på… Är det namnet som du ger ditt community (som du inte kan ändra på senare) eller söker den på display-namnet som går att ändra på?

Jag döpte själva gruppen till “allmanfedditnu” samt display-namn “någonstans i feddit” för att vara lustig. Vill vi ha ett annat namn kan jag ändra på det direkt.

Andreas ,
@Andreas@feddit.dk avatar

Det ena tyvärr, för att koppla till communityt från en annan instans måste man söka upp !allmanfedditnu. Jag tycker displaynamnet också kan klargöras eftersom “någonstans i feddit” tyder inte exakt på “allmän diskussion och prat” (trodde själv det rör händelser utanför vårt hörn av fediverset).

dennisnedry ,

Aha, ok då var det inte alls speciellt passande namn. Jag tog bort det så får jag börja om från början med ett bättre namn.

Hur är det när du söker ett community med ett relativt allmänt ord, och inte direkt på ett communitynamn, så om jag skulle söka med “games”, hur söker funktionen då?

chris2112 , to android in Why do we have a setting to turn off precision location if apps refuse to work with it?

In theory, devs need to know what setting you chose so that, if you legitimately need presicse location, you can tell the user to enable it. In practice I’m sure plenty of apps that claim they need precise location don’t really need it, but it’s not a restricted permission either so Google doesn’t do any validation during their review process

alldreadme OP ,
@alldreadme@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, makes sense. Sad that it kinda defeats the purpose though.

crius , to nostupidquestions in What's stopping people from making reddit apps that stay within the free API limits?

Short answer is “no”.

Long answer require some technical knowledge that you clearly don’t possess and would just give you an headache.

To put it simply, if your app get successful and lots of users adopt it, you are bound to exceed those arbitrary limits.

Thing is, offering free api is not sustainable but you could offer some half way option, like including some ads in the apis responses as well and have the devs agree in showing those ads (I’m talking banners and the like) so that you can assure your ads clients that they are going to be shown anyway even by third party apps.

If course you can then go nuts on the penalties for infringing that agreement.

What is Reddit doing is basically saying, you can use our APIs if you are doing a school project.

bernieecclestoned ,

I didn’t think you were being rude btw

a_new_sad_me , to nostupidquestions in What's stopping people from making reddit apps that stay within the free API limits?

Without looking into any information, I can guess that it is associated with API key which are registered to a specific email. Sure, you can open more email accounts and more APIs but this is becoming a hustle.

What they could do, is release their code, and for user to register their own API and compile the app on their own. But this solution would answer only tech savi people.

Cheradenine ,

The developer of Infinity for Reddit (Android app) said they were going to do just that.

a_new_sad_me ,

Ha! Cool for them!

I guess, though, that the guys who have the skills to enjoy this are the first to switch out of reddit to begin with.

dreamfall OP ,

I just did this from a guide on their reddit, it was super easy…hopefully it sticks!

DreamySweet ,
@DreamySweet@exploding-heads.com avatar

Couldn’t they just have the app ask for the user’s API key? I use a weather app that does that with OpenWeatherMap.

a_new_sad_me ,

They could, use, but this requires extra work from the user, who might just say “nah… I’ll just use the official app instead”

DreamySweet ,
@DreamySweet@exploding-heads.com avatar

I think the people that would seek out a third party app are mostly the kind of people that would do the extra work of copying and pasting an API key. It will definitely be a smaller userbase than before though.

sik0fewl , to youshouldknow in YSK Defibrillators doesn't restart a stopped heart

I've heard this before and looked it up, but I found this article from the NIH that contradicts what you're saying.

Defibrillators are devices that send an electric pulse or shock to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat. They are used to prevent or correct an arrhythmia, an uneven heartbeat that is too slow or too fast. If the heart suddenly stops, defibrillators can also help it beat again.

techno156 ,

There are certain devices that do do that, but it's not a defibrillator. A defibrillator will stop/prevent an arrhythmia by stopping the heart, and letting it restart on its own (hoping that it goes to a normal rhythm), and delivering further shocks if it gets back into one.

The device you're looking for to help a heart beat again would be a pacer, or a pacemaker, which will shock the heart to force it to pump, and restore rhythm that way. They're commonly used for conditions like heart failure, if the heartbeat generation systems/internal pacemaker can't generate a heartbeat quickly enough to sustain life.
