Yes. Even when I know what the limits are, and why, the thing lulls you into responding as if it were a conscious agent. The downside of the way it produces speech.
When I was a kid we had a television that used an ultrasonic remote. Not quite like this one though, ours did use batteries. But, similarly, it was dead simple with only three buttons. One for on/off volume (each time you clicked it the TV would reduce in volume with three distinct settings, then the fourth click would turn the TV off) and the other two for ‘channel up’ and ‘channel down’. The TV’s mechanical tuner would very audibly ‘chunk, chunk, chunk’ up or down each time you hit the button.
And yes, our dog hated it as he could hear the ultrasonic signal, and yes, jangling keys near the TV could cause it change volume, turn off or on, or the channel to change.
A Columbia University professor says spiritual beliefs can decrease our rates of anxiety and depression. I needed to understand how she came to these conclusions.
I still haven’t figured out what ‘spirituality’ is supposed to mean. It’s a word used in so many vague, fuzzy, and often contradictory ways that it seems to be basically meaningless. Mostly it seems it’s used as a rough synonym for ‘emotion’, usually the emotions of awe and wonder. So sure, I agree that healthy emotions are good for our mental health. That is unsurprising.
I picked up the Criterion BluRay during Barnes & Noble’s sale this summer after being aware of the film for a while. I was intrigued by the single-room story and the exploration of condemning someone as guilty, and the film totally blew me away. The acting was stellar, the writing is timeless, and the cinematography was magic...
I think the one month with no moderator activity should only be applicable if there is other user activity in the community during that month. For small, specific, and (so far) very quiet communities I think a month of no moderator activity if there’s no activity at all yet doesn’t make much sense.
Your account is only your account on one instance. You can have other accounts on other instances. However, you can access and post to all of the communities, content, and posts on all federated instances from your one account on one instance.
Would it be possible to make the script work with old.lemmy.ca (and old.lemmy.world, etc) as well? The lack of access to subscribed communities on the old.* frontend, despite its advantages, makes it borderline unusable.
When I joined the fediverse I thought I’d have an easier time moving between lemmy platforms. So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account. I kinda wish I can carry my lemmy user to other platforms more easily....

Why are you needing to do that? You only need one account on one instance and you can subscribe to all the things you want on every instance (assuming that it hasn’t been defederated for some reason). That way you’ll only have one account with one list of subscribed communities instead of differing ones on different accounts.
The latest version of mlmym includes the subscribed commuunities dropdown in the top bar. Can mlmym be updated to this version, please? The lack of access to one’s subscribed communities makes it borderline unusable atm despite how much I like it.
