Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

I got the one you just sent, but it was after I had resolved the community locally (and subscribed). Perhaps the mentions don’t work if they’re to a community the other person’s instance doesn’t know about?

I can’t see those, specifically, but a similar pattern of mass community bans after even remotely criticizing an authoritarian regime is completely on brand for Dessalines.

I don’t have record of the comment that triggered these, but when it’s something like civility, it’s usually just a comment removal and maybe a single community ban.

Dessalines bans people

Shit, so it is (depending on tiemzone) lol Thanks!

There’s an instance level setting to hide moderator names from unauthenticated and/or non-mod users. They probably have that enabled. Those actions federate, though, so the mod names won’t be hidden if viewed from an instance that doesn’t hide the mod names.

You can in Tesseract, but AFAIK, that’s the only UI that lets you browse remote instances. Otherwise, you gotta go to it directly, browse communities, and copy/paste the URL into your instance and search for it.

Did you ping in the post body or comments? I learned a month or two ago from someone that mentions only generate a notification if they’re in the comments.

May have been my LW account? I mostly use it for my mod role, but I’ll switch to it sometimes and browse all there to look for new communities I might like. Perhaps it was that account and I only interacted from there? (My memory is terrible these days 😆)

TIL that community existed. thanks!

I’m not sure if there’s a solution here, but I’d like to urge people to avoid lemmy.ml hosted communities in favor of communities on more reasonable instances.

Did that months ago; defederated completely when they turned into Lemmygrad-lite. At first I missed some more active FOSS communities, but since then, others on different instances have become more active. programming.dev has a lot of communities that overlap with some of the bigger FOSS ones on .ml so maybe check out what they’ve got.

If there’s a community that only exists there, be the change you want to see: create it somewhere else, nurture it, and give it time to grow. You’re not the only one making this complaint about .ml, and you probably won’t be the last.

Related: I genuinely feel that ml being the official or at least de-facto flagship instance is turning people away.

Edit: Oh yeah. Didn’t recognize your username at first, but I was looking at the modlog the other day from my LW account, and saw a bunch of individual community bans from Dessalines and wondered what was up. Figured it was something exactly like this, and it was. Thanks for sharing.

Or for a 70-year old to think it’s too loud.

So I naturally assumed this was a teenager.

Thomas Humphrey, 47, was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and arson in the November death of Linda Tufts, 70, inside their Goffstown home.

Oh. Well, surely he’s not a stereotype…

…Humphrey, who lived in the basement, …

I mean, there’s nothing wrong with that (and in this economy, totally understandable), but geez, try not to tick all the boxes.

ptz , to technology in Is Microsoft trying to commit suicide?
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

I’ve thought this ever since Windows 8 (and when I went from dual-boot to Linux only). In retrospect, at least Ballmer treated Windows like a PC operating system.

Ever since Nadella took over, it seems like MS is trying to turn Windows into ChromeOS but for Microsoft’s cloud services. Pretty sure they want PCs to be thin clients tied to subscriptions. No fucking thanks.

ptz , to piracy in Jellyfin wrongly identifies show and messes up metadata
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Not sure then. I think Emby, or at least the way mine’s setup, only uses tvdb and moviedb for metadata. Assuming JF is similar. So if the show doesn’t exist there, it may just pull the next closest match regardless?

AFAIK, you only need to set one of those. I usually set IMDB ID since tvdb and moviedb can pick up on that.

Maybe someone else has some tips.

ptz , to piracy in Jellyfin wrongly identifies show and messes up metadata
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Not sure in JF, but in Emby I can click the menu for the show in the library and choose “Identify”.

Usually setting the correct title there is enough, but if it keeps getting mis-identified, I’ll set the IMDB/TVDB/ etc IDs directly.

ptz , (edited ) to retrogaming in Half-Life Was 95% Ready for Dreamcast
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Right, architecturally it was probably pretty simple. But the minimum system requirements for HL:2 versus the Xbox’s hardware is pretty stark:

Half-Life 2 minimum requirements for PC:


<span style="color:#323232;">CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.00GHz
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Memory: 512 MB
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>

Xbox System Specs:


<span style="color:#323232;">CPU:  Intel Pentium III 733 MHz
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Memory:  64 MB (shared with GPU)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Graphics:  Custom NVidia based on Geforce 3
</span>

Edit: Definitely meaning the original Xbox and not the 360. Was one of the last games I bought for the original and still have it :)
