Sounds cool. Could this be used to improve push notifications from Lemmy apps?

threelonmusketeers ,

Just make the mirror as wide as the drone! Oh, wait…

threelonmusketeers ,

Wait, another Neil Cicierega project I was unaware of? How many projects does this guy have?

threelonmusketeers ,

Oh no, don’t mention that, I’ve got work to do! Must resist the urge to…

Make Paperclip. Make Paperclip. Make Paperclip.

…

Buy Autoclipper… Buy Megaclipper… Release Hypnodrones… Optimize Von Neumann Probes…

threelonmusketeers ,

Oh, I didn’t know that. Hi Neil!

threelonmusketeers ,

It’s no Potter Puppet Pals, that’s for sure.

threelonmusketeers ,

Very well said.

"Moderation tools are nonexistent on here. It also eats up storage like crazy [...] The software is downright frustrating to work with" - Can any other instance admins relate to this?

After a year online the free speech-focused instance ‘Burggit’ is shutting down. Among other motivations, the admins point to grievances with the Lemmy software as one of the main reasons for shutting down the instance. In a first post asking about migrating to Sharkey, one of the admins states:...

also kbin.run and kbin.earth

They’re asking about mbin, not kbin, no?

threelonmusketeers ,

Ah, thanks. Even if it is a bit confusing, it’s cool that they were able to switch out the underlying software without breaking everything. I guess it helps that mbin is a fork of kbin.

America alone has something like 3.5 BILLION people in it

Username checks out.

threelonmusketeers ,

And a whopping… 3 servers?

Seems like a cool project though, along with sublinks. Might try them out once they are a bit more stable.

threelonmusketeers ,

Wait, did they do something bad? I thought they were just a prolific poster of memes.

“Buy article PDF USD 39.95”

How about “no”?

Rabbits engage in coprophagy to extract more nutrients using their short digestive tracts. Is this analogous to training ML models on AI-generated output?

threelonmusketeers ,

Get hyped! Tell your friends and communities!

threelonmusketeers ,

I’ve definitely made some new friends during this event. The camaraderie during these events can be vibrant.

threelonmusketeers ,

IIRC, the German Redditors drew a better Canadian flag than the Canadian Redditors did. I’m glad that the Canadians on the fediverse seem to be organized a bit better.

threelonmusketeers ,

One problem I have with the crosspost feature is that the body text of the original post is just copied, rather than embedded. If the body text of the original post is edited, any crossposts are not updated. For all of its other shortcomings, I think Reddit’s implementation of crossposts is currently better.

threelonmusketeers ,

I was confused on what they were trying to accomplish, and even after reading the article I am still somewhat confused.

Instead, when a user posts something, the algorithm automatically reads the content and tags it with relevant interests so it shows up on those pages. Users can turn up the serendipity slider to branch out beyond their stated interests, and the algorithm running the platform connects users with related interests.

Perhaps I’m a minority, but I don’t see myself getting much utility out of this. I already know what my interests are, and don’t have much interest in growing them algorithmically. If a topic is really interesting, I’ll eventually find out about it via an actual human.

threelonmusketeers ,

I was also not aware of this. If the Lemmy software can do this, doesn’t that mean there should be a way for apps and web interfaces to do this automatically?

threelonmusketeers ,

I’m use Lemmy Link by fcuks, but it seems to work only for whole sublemmies, not posts. Is there a browser extension which works for posts as well?

threelonmusketeers , (edited )

Wow, that script is incredible. Thanks for sharing! You’ve saved me several minutes per day!

I love how it adds a button to view the original link as well.

threelonmusketeers ,

Happy birthday!

Any updates on !canvas? Last year was small, but super fun!

threelonmusketeers ,

Happy (belated?) actual birthday then.

threelonmusketeers ,

Yeah, that’s the name of the character;_DROP_TABLE_Students;--), but not the comic strip.

threelonmusketeers ,

Yeah, Blaze definitely deserves some kind of “threadiverse citizen’s volunteer of the year” award or something.

threelonmusketeers ,

Indeed it does, most of the time. The admins are pretty good at what they do.

threelonmusketeers ,

Single admin instances are fragile instances. One person is a single point of failure.

threelonmusketeers ,

Not if the instance has a backup admin who can take over hosting, domain, etc, which most large instances do. Very small instances usually have a poor bus factor.

threelonmusketeers ,

!crows

Possible alternatives?

@BonesOfTheMoon (prolific poster) and @Mechanismatic (mod)

Thoughts?

threelonmusketeers ,

!selfdrivingcars and !selfdrivingvehicles

The respective moderators (@amalshaji, @element) have been AWOL for 4 years.

Possible alternative:

Any instance recommendations?

@sabreW4K3, were you able to find any RSS news sources?

threelonmusketeers , (edited )

!freecad, currently moderated by @zksmk @zksmk @zksmk.

Could not find any current alternatives.

Any instance recommendations? Maybe programming.dev? Or a maker/craft-oriented instance?

threelonmusketeers ,

!classical_music (@erpicht)

Possible alternative:

threelonmusketeers ,

!fusionenergy and !fusion

Mods: @CHEFKOCH and @zksmk @zksmk @zksmk

Any instance recommendations? Maybe mander.xyz? (@Sal)

threelonmusketeers ,

Thanks! It seems like a bunch of us have our cake days around this time… what an interesting coincidence! :)

threelonmusketeers , (edited )

where we should host the autonomous and self driving technology community and the whole time it was bloody obvious. @lugh can we host it on your instance?

I asked the futurology admins about adding additional communities that fit the futurology theme, but they seem uninterested. I’m not sure why, as having what is essentially a single-community instance seems a bit strange to me, but it’s ultimately their call.

@Lugh and @Espiritdescali, would you reconsider increasing the number of communities on your instance, provided they fit the futurology theme?

threelonmusketeers ,

Ooh, that sounds like a great feature.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy’s massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It’s been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let’s say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they’re what’s colloquially referred to...

threelonmusketeers ,

Is there a way to massage instance owners/admins?

I think you’d have to meet up with them IRL for that…

threelonmusketeers ,

we can always migrate them later if needed

Can we? I’m not sure that community migration is that simple…

threelonmusketeers ,

Is there anything Sublinks will offer that’s different to Lemmy?

A different dev team. If there’s only one dev team for the entire threadiverse, that team has a certain degree of power. If there are multiple dev teams working on compatible threadiverse software, that power is distributed among many.

threelonmusketeers ,

Since they are both part of the fedivers, that’s a bit less of a concern. Kbin, mbin, and Lemmy users can all subscribe to each other’s communities/magazines/sublemmies.

threelonmusketeers OP ,

Is that a laugh track? To me it seems like the original audio… just a group of guys goofing around and laughing at/with each other.

threelonmusketeers OP ,

Relevant scene, for those who are out-of-the-loop: youtu.be/ypEaGQb6dJk&t=362

threelonmusketeers OP ,

Guess what, dogs and cats derive play behaviors from predation too, doesn’t mean that play ain’t play.

Humans also derive play behaviour from foraging and predation. Play is play, and everyone can have fun, no matter the species.

threelonmusketeers ,

TIL that the Beaver is a Tim!

Hold my hard hat, I’m going in!
