UBI? I'd vote for you.

Is there a downside for "all software open source"?

Taking Lemmy as an example, if someone writes software for bot detection, CSAM detection, or other similar tools, there could be a downside to making those open source. It might essentially be like handing malicious actors a guide to circumventing those tools.

Interesting idea.

What is the purpose of floor() and ceiling()? Why not have it be a continuous function?

Comments in inbox marked as read upon viewing. Any way to disable? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Yes I did technically "read" the comment when I viewed it, but I prefer to be in control of which comments I mark as read individually.

On the desktop web interface, only replying to the comment or clicking the checkmark marks the comment as read.

Is there any way for Summit to match the behavior of the desktop version?

I know, right? Time I put egg in the microwave, it pops and explodes.

How is it even possible?

I mean, you do have to look at the cube to memorize its state before you put the blindfold on, but in a competition (I am nowhere near that level), memorization time counts towards your total time.

still the same old misconceptions

Another interpretation is that these threads are reaching users who haven't heard of Lemmy yet. That would be a positive thing.

Solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded. I can usually do it, but I'm slow, and I do still make mistakes pretty frequently.

What is your one sentence summary of the 2020s so far in c/ask@lemm.ee
[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

"Pretty good despite it all."

That sort of sums up Norway as a whole, doesn't it? Canada too, I suppose.

Pinned thread on r/RedditAlternatives is over a year old. Can we make a new one? (sh.itjust.works)
 

The pinned thread on r/RedditAlternatives is over a year old: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1anols3/social_websites_with_nested_comments_v7/

A few issues I've identified:

  • Only the largest Lemmy instance (LemmyWorld) is listed.
  • Some sites like kbin, tipestry, and pcmemes have shut down since the thread was posted.
  • I'm not convinced that sorting by 'Similarweb Rank' is that useful. I think a metric like 'Monthly Active Users' would be more meaningful.

Can we compile better, more up-to-date info?

Does anyone know if sites like Discuit, Disqus, Raddle, Saidit, Tildes, etc. publish MAU statistics?

UK Must Foster Sovereign Launch Capability, Experts Tell Committee (europeanspaceflight.com)
 

The UK Engagement with Space Committee was established by the House of Lords in January 2024. As a special inquiry committee, its primary aim is to examine how the UK can effectively engage with the rapidly evolving global space industry and ensure that national policies, regulations and investments serve the country’s long-term interests.

During its 24 March session, the committee heard from six expert witnesses across two panels. The second panel focused on the United Kingdom’s need to develop its own launch capacity and featured testimony from Scott Hammond, Deputy CEO of SaxaVord Spaceport; Alan Thompson, Head of Government Affairs at Skyrora; and Adam Baker, Co-founder of UK Launch Services.

In response to a question asking what the case was for the UK possessing a sovereign launch capability, Adam Baker explained that the country was the “only well-developed space economy in the world who not only doesn’t have it, but we did have it, and we gave it away.” This is a reference to the UK’s decision to cancel its Black Arrow launch programme in the early 1970s, despite having successfully placed a satellite into orbit.

Another Redditor gives up on Lemmy due to signup issues (old.reddit.com)

Already signed up. Got the login verification email, followed through and did the security thing, “type the word from our sidebar below” passed all that and can not login.

I appreciate that but don’t bother. I tried with the instance listed in this post and still got the same login issues even after receiving the email to login and passing the security check etc. I deleted the app. I’ve tried enough times and never had any success so I won’t be trying again.

I think they signed up at 50501.chat.

It's a shame that Lemmy is missing out on new users just due to signup issues.

Consolidating crow, raven, and corvid communities? (sh.itjust.works)

There are two fairly active communities with almost identical topics:

The community on ml is named "crows" but its scope includes "crows, ravens, and other corvids".

Taking into account the community names, overlapping topics, instance size, and other issues with ml, might we consider consolidating towards sopuli.xyz?
