I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

🍁⚕️ 💽

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

otter,

Same idea as new-reddit with its ‘views’. It doesn’t make sense how some post on a local subreddit gets a few hundred impressions immediately, even when posted at 4am. Meanwhile the actual organic comments on the same post follow the average human wake/sleep cycle

I wonder if advertisers are also fooled by those numbers, or if they use a different way of measuring

I haven’t seen much discussion about the third one, what would that be about?

otter,

As a follow-up question, what are some open source satellite data sources, maybe orgs like NASA?

Most of the details are things that you might already know, or assumed was happening, but the article is a helpful resource for links, evidence, citations, and summaries

the chatbot couldn’t even recommend the right specialist 😑

Welcome!

For this universe of instances to grow, but also to add a bit of personality to the platform! Do a bit of Reddit and add customization options for each community, like on the Minecraft Subreddit of old Reddit that I’ve always smiled at.

For sure! We don’t talk enough about how much customization there is for Lemmy. There is a wide variety of mobile apps that do things in different ways, and userscripts/userstyles to customize the desktop interface. A lot of instances are also running multiple frontends, each maintained by a different dev or team.

For example, our instance is running:

  • Voyager interface at voyager.lemmy.ca
  • Photon interface at photon.lemmy.ca
  • Alexandrite interface at alex.lemmy.ca

Many possibilities, and I’m hoping we can see community customization too someday :)

otter,

First time I’m seeing it!

otter,

If you want the research article: www.publish.csiro.au/pc/PC18015

otter,

I’ve had the built in version control do unexpected things, so I play it safe and create named backup files. I usually end up using that one file, but I’ve been saved on occasion

Potential benefits of consolidating communities? (Harry Potter example)

One of the advantages of a decentralized platform like Lemmy is the ability to create parallel communities on the same topic. “You don’t like how a community is being moderated? Go to another instance and start a new community!” (with or without blackjack and hookers)...

otter,

Regarding literature.cafe as an instance

literature.cafe/post/7623713

otter,

Oh I completely misread the earlier comment

mostly I think because the Lemmy demographic may have moved on from that universe.

I read it as “from that instance” being literature.cafe, rather than “universe” being the Harry Potter universe

My bad, and yes agreed

otter,

good note, edited

otter,

I think it’s to make it easier to write bash scripts, for those who are new or when the script is doing a more critical task

Modern Syntax

You will find many of the language features familiar, allowing you to get up and running much faster than if you were learning Bash from scratch.

Runtime Safety

It’s one of the key components missing from regular shell scripts. It can help you catch many bugs at compile time.

Type Safety

Amber ensures that you handle everything that could fail. Each Bash command and function that could fail must be handled in some way.

otter,

Odd I can access it and I do see recent posts in the community. Maybe they are dealing with intermittent server issues

otter,

!communitypromo should be open to instances as well! (I can clarify in the rules if necessary)
