Would Lemmy Benefit from Implementing Polls? (slrpnk.net)

A popular way of dealing with discussions, and familiar to most people, I assume. As far as I see it, adding a poll system to Lemmy is a good way to enhance user engagement. I’m not really aware if this has been a topic before or not, tried looking it up but didn’t see much juice on the topic, so thought I’d spark it up....

That was exactly my thought when asking. But it seems it’s the former.

My first exposure to that interchangable use in the Lemmy lexicon. Now I Know!

Love, strange love a star woman teaches

I’ve known for years that Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics for Theme from Star Trek so that he could receive 50% of the royalties, but it never occurred to me that I should try and find out what those lyrics were. However, the lyrics did come up recently in a nerdy trivia show I watch, “Uhm, Actually”, and now that I know...

This looks like ChatGPT time taveled back to 1966.

Couldn’t a malicious ActivityPub server do similar things now?

Are you in my head? Is this an alternate account that my subconscious self uses? What is real?

I had a phone die in me

The phone being inside you is probably why it died 😂

But on a serious note, I haven’t switched to passkeys because I don’t have a clear mental model of how to recover from losing both my phone and computer at the same time.

Since storage costs money, does it allow the admin to offer tiered access to higher quality storage?

how far did you get?

I hope it provided an accurate summary. I think the original was more verbose and detailed than they needed to be.

I think their main point boils down to what most people already know about dynamic vs static type systems. Prototyping is stunted with static type systems. It’s the same reason why so many people use Python but critical, large projects typically avoid Python or only use it as a glue/wrapper.

That could have been a great introductory paragraph that could lead you into the details.

The discussion on rust@programming.dev was pretty good overall if you’re interested.

Wouldn’t it be better (if doable) to take some cues on how actually email (and XMPP for that matter) works, and ask the user for the username and the password instead in one go?

I have to give my email app a lot more information than a username and password. So I’m not sure what you’re envisioning.

Don’t suggest murdering people as a solution to inconvenience.
