This, and lay out the details like ELI5 and as an unemotional objective thing with detail.

I have received many flags to sort out that take more than a few minutes to figure out the tone and meaning. I strongly believe people have a right to be stupid, wrong, a bit rude, or to have a bad day. I need to know exactly why the comment is more than this in a well laid out fashion. If you think it is a pattern with the individual, prove it. If some subtle phrase carries more meaning than I may realize, say so. I want to make people feel welcome on all fronts with a Hippocratic framework of “first, do no harm.” At the same time, a visible mod is a bad mod. I will read every detail. I will give the benefit of the doubt in every possible case. I won’t be passive to bigotry, but I will allow an asshole that does no harm. I’m but one insignificant mod. I care a whole lot more as a person, but I act conservatively as a mod. When flagging something imagine the person on the other end is working on some big project, stopping their day, and taking a half hour to sort out the details, thinking them through, and taking action. It usually takes me longer to shift gears and do this in practice. I’ll usually send a message explaining why I did or did not do anything as well.

If you run a whitelist firewall, you never see CAPTCHA’s. The vast majority on the internet have nothing to do with the website you’re visiting. When the website cannot redirect you to the CAPTCHA host site, it just continues on to the intended destination. The only way I ever see a CAPTCHA is if it is hosted on the same server as the site I am trying to visit, and that is very nearly never. I bet the vast majority of them are actually some advertiser collecting more data to mine in addition to whatever fingerprinting they can collect. Ads only work by opening a hidden frame that is basically another browser tab where you then visit the ad server’s website. This is no different than visiting them in a browser tab. They can access everything available to fingerprint. If you’re using anything Google controls that means they know everything about you down to how dirty your underwear is right now. /s^÷2

This is all I see as lead mod of 3d printing. I also checked and desktop is the same both in desktop mobile view and on my laptop.

I would rather vote identities being blocked from scraping. I don’t care about other users or admins. I would rather that level of information be unavailable to outside commercial sources, especially any timings based metadata that could be used to derive dwell time and other psychological metrics.

This is the best stated argument I’ve seen by far for alts for Lemmy. Still, I don’t see anything wrong with the statements made being neutral. Not everyone is going to be an ally, but that does not make them an enemy. This post smells like someone trying very poorly thought out psyops instead of simply making their own thing. Lemmy is written in the benchmark of coding languages. The alts appear to target the least secure convenient high level languages. Based on what I’ve seen, I would be quite hesitant to run my own instance on one versus the other. I’ve seen a ton of whining here and there, but I haven’t seen anyone that has an answer to why they have not submitted pull requests for Lemmy. I find that most concerning. There appears to be a desire to steal Lemmy. I find that deeply disturbing. I left for awhile once before because of similar nonsense. If some one can do better, great, go prove it on your own. If your confidence in your abilities does not exceed envy of what already exists, I already feel completely uninterested in the alternative. There is a lot of nonsense about politics that ultimately have nothing to do with the platform. It feels like deeply destabilizing drama that makes this place toxic.

There is still thinly plausible deniability about the psyops nature of this post, but it is too strong of a pattern for me to ignore as chance. The original message chain was not posted. One side of a conversation proves nothing whatsoever and making conclusions about intent without full context is a fool’s folly. The consistent jump to Lemmy alts in comments shows a decided intent and bias.

You’re not contextualizing reasonably here. The bourgeoisie in his context meaning, the capitalist class. It is just a comment about how it has tilted to fashionable to support LGBT. That is a reasonable statement. Participation in events is a controversial subject for many. Personally I believe gendered sports should be entirely eliminated in favor of singular combined competition of humans, but I’m a giant dude that loves cycling, where a little woman could have a real advantage over someone like me. I find sports that lack such diverse nuance somewhat outdated.

Many might not see the two party system of the USA as what it presents itself as internally. It is not hard to say, this is a one party system that wears two masks and be entirely uninterested in which clown color mask faces forward at the moment.

I see indifference. I see neutrality. I don’t see two sides of a conversation with transparency that qualifies the accusation friend. Feel free to post with transparency though.

It follows the first to market principal in many of the most active communities, and it is the most federated instance. Many instances that are not federated with each other are federated with .ml. You still won’t see those comments between instances. Like from my main account here on .world, I can’t see hexibear or beehaw stuff, but from my .ml account I can see them. I have accounts on many instances in order to help federate new communities and to check biases/instance behaviors.

I came over a few days before the rexodus and subscribed to the active communities before the influx. That sub list is still centered around the most active communities, and the majority of those are from .ml and before I joined Lemmy.

Instances all have different flavors. I don’t like using my .ml account as a main. I’ve tried it. But I find they are the center of the most interesting and productive conversations for a more broad audience, while Beehaw has the most positive and friendly conversations overall. The main benefit to .world is the speed of connectivity, general audience scope, but with a strong anti asshat policy.

The .ml instance is run by the developers. If it isn’t well configured we would have no reason to be here.

Not sure. There was some controversy with some of the devs making alt front ends and admins complaining about the slowness. I’ve seen mention of one of the two devs learning Rust just to participate. So it is not entirely a walled garden. The front end devs wanted to make an alt from scratch but in something like JavaScript although I don’t recall the details exactly. There were a lot of red flags related to privacy and understanding the community at large in the posts I saw from them. When asked why they weren’t adding pull requests with Rust in order to address their complaints I got no reply.

All that said, I’m no dev. I can read in to around half the code I come across if I really try, and can successfully modify maybe half of that if I spend a few days on it, but I suck at clever code and the DRY cult types. I haven’t tried to look into Lemmy in any depth beyond figuring out the basics.

The Lemmy algorithm:

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html

The instances communicate between each other using special bots in the background that transport info between instances. Dot world is too big and makes too many requests to other instances. Most instances are reducing the number of transport bots back to dot world right now. There is supposed to be a fix in the next Lemmy version, but the code base is somewhat slow moving due to only two devs and it is written in Rust. Rust is a hard language like C, and not too many here are able to contribute to it, even though it is like the new gold standard of code.

So you might see a delay between posting and replies or the interaction may come in bursts that correspond with the transport bots carrying content between instances as the host admin have configured their instance.

I only eat one cooked meal a day. I make a couple slices of toast in the morning and have been making quick guacamole and chips in the evening or just eating rice.

I cook 4lbs of meat in a dish, plus 1.5lbs each of green beans/broccoli/cauliflower in another dish, and 8 ears of corn in a dish. I also have a rice bowl for the oven that makes two Cups of rice. I cook all of that at one time for 1h 15m. I eat the rice for 2-3 days before frying the remainder and adding a few packs of instant microwaved brown rice.

The trick is to mostly eat the rice and break down the extra ingredients by hand into small pieces before reheating in the microwave. Sauces make a big difference too. That is how I can keep it feeling fresh enough that I do not mind the repetition. Like my fried rice is better than anything I have ever had from an American style Chinese restaurant. I make it complex and strong in flavor with sweet onion, green onion, lots of garlic and ginger, carrot, frozen green peas, soy/oyster/fish sauces, and brown sugar. A mix of white and brown rice help with texture and getting the eggs just right helps. I also add some of my cooked chicken, and the stalks of my cooked broccoli and cauliflower. I can do all of this in around 35 minutes just throwing most of it into a food processor. This will last and remain edible for a week or more. My rice takes me around the same amount of time as the whole bake does.

With sauces, I like to mix spicy mayo and teriyaki sauces 1:1 plus a little extra Worcestershire or fish sauce. I have also been working on an onion sauce of my own. I have used sriracha or teriyaki by themselves too.

I’m not super picky about what I eat though. Before I was disabled I was once very overweight but lost all of it while riding and eventually racing bicycles. I treated food differently back then; like a means to an objective. I appreciate good food, but my purposeful mindset and objective goals oriented approach may be more challenging for someone of a different background. I have no desire to eat anything processed or flavored by a chemistry lab, so my expectations may be very different than some people that expect such flavor drugs. Everyone that has tried my cooking seems to love it and ask for recipes, but your results may vary.

I have ultra rare thoracic spinal (between the shoulder blades) issues from that time I fought 2 SUV’s in a death match on a bicycle. I killed them both but they almost got me. They mostly fought each other but my contributions were not insignificant. \s

I was folded over backwards, thus why my damage is in a region around the ribs. Posture is my problem, as in it feels like I am lifting weights the moment I am upright. It doesn’t matter if I am sitting or standing, being upright at all is a problem. I start degrading quite a bit within a few minutes, but I am in pretty bad shape after 1 hour. Anything longer than 1 hour generally starts impacting my sleep and that can take many days to weeks to recover from. If I push continuously and ignore it all, I’m stupid AF, totally unstable, and a mindless zombie that can’t sleep for more than a couple of hours per day.

All that said, it takes me ~30 minutes to make chicken, veggies, and white rice. I eat the plain rice for a couple of days before I make fried rice with the rest. The rice takes me 35-40 minutes to make. This means I have far less opportunities to push myself or create problems because I am limiting how much I must do while upright for the most number of days and can usually set up so that I’m in decent shape when I need to cook.

I have a tendency to get hurt by random small things like if I turn my head left or simply pick up something funny. There are all kinds of little interrelated (feeling) issues primarily on the left side of my spine. I only have a little more than half my range of turning my head left. Initially I had damage from the base of my skull and C1 all the way through T8, so I’m quite the basket case. Like, I can lift heavy things some times, but others, a light bag of groceries will cause something in my back to shift and I can’t sleep for weeks. I’m trying to minimize these ridiculous injuries for the most part. Like I tried working and faking it for 3 years, but I was a zombie and still dysfunctionally incompetent. I’m managing the rollercoaster ride to make the ups and downs as tolerable as I can.

I tried major pain killers at one point too, and while I’ve been very healthy the whole time, the opioids made me intolerant to dairy, so this is my dairy free solution too.

Thanks for the hopeful reinforcing encouragement. How much pressure is good for natural carbonation? I think I can make my own rudimentary check valve cap but I’m not sure what is a good pressure to maintain.

Daily or more venting is required. Basically 3% salt brine after a thorough salt wash, and a lump of natural honey for extra measure. I expect failure on a first attempt. There were a bunch of blueberries in the house that were going to go bad and thought why not try fermenting. I’m playing it like the year is 1850 with no intentions of purchasing anything.

I only care for utility, and a minor social engagement at times, preferably without dredditor type interaction. This pretty much requires an intellectual and tech content focus. I’m kinda wishing we could get post numbers up, but we are at the busiest time of year for a lot of academics and end of summer vacations for a lot of the rest.

When I was stuck in bed for 2 months straight in 2014 from a broken neck, I got a couple of Sudoku books and did every puzzle in the books. Now I just play Open Sudoku on my phone. Ever since then I kinda measure my pain/mental/overall sleep quality state by checking how fast I can solve the hardest puzzles that have real solutions without guessing. Anything over 5 minutes is bad for me.

Very much this. If I visit the grocery store, I am not walking through other businesses just to get to each isle.

I am perfectly happy with going back to amateur YouTube somewhere else. If it was a real community of individuals I would probably post content again myself. The whole idea of YT as career content creators only is not very interesting to me any more.

I do not use an ad blocker. I use a whitelist firewall. I only visit the websites I request. If anyone wants to show me content, it must be on the servers I wish to visit. As far as I am concerned, if I invite you into my home, you head to the bathroom, open the window and let a dozen people into my home, you’re never going to get invited to visit again. This is how ads work.

If YT can’t trust these people to host their content directly, that is not my problem.

We probably need a basic politically correct, partisan explanation of differences between major instances on a main page. If hosts are willing, maybe even some basic details about their situation, experience, and intentions. With all the instances, it would be ideal if the potential new user could clearly see stuff like the host’s projected ability to scale. If you’ve got a home lab, scaling is very different than if you’re running the instance on Akamai. Maybe also note if the host has other federated services they host.

It was before my time. I’m a first was NES generation. How many Atari’s were there? They all seem the same to me.
