I have to agree, I never used the VA features. I was prepared to have issues with banking apps and such but found myself not having issues with even those.

Tumblr sheds Post Plus subscriptions as the platform downsizes (www.theverge.com)

TL;DR: Tumblr is discontinuing its Post Plus feature, allowing creators to charge for content, starting December 1st. This decision follows a leaked memo about downsizing due to struggles in meeting usage and revenue targets. Post Plus, introduced in 2021, didn’t meet expectations, leading to its discontinuation. Existing Post...

Apparently they we’re contractually obligated to include that, which is why there’s an option to snooze it at all. I’m sure they’ll get rid of it eventually.

I love Kurzgesagt, but this one was hard to follow for me. Interesting but confusing concept.

Beehaw on Lemmy: The long-term conundrum of staying here

Yesterday, you probably saw this informal post by one of our head admins (Chris Remington). This post lamented some of the difficulties we’re running into with the site at this point, and what the future might hold for us. This is a more formal post about those difficulties and the way we currently see things....

I’m also quite unnerved by the responses to @Gaywallet in regards to the promotion of instances that spread bigoted ideas and harrass other instances on join-lemmy.

The complete disregard seems to run counter to the ideology that beehaw is built on. It becomes clearer to me as time goes on that beehaw and lemmy have very different (and in some cases opposite) goals and priorities in mind. I for one would be completely onboard for a switch. I’ve admittedly used beehaw and lemmy in general less and less as the moderation issues and shift of tone in conversations have increased.

I think the admins and moderators of beehaw have been doing a wonderful job with the hand dealt regardless.

Yes I’m with you there. It reminded me a lot of the common reactionary strategy of purposefully misinterpreting a question in to make the question asked sound unreasonable. Trying to paint it as though promoting them equally with all the other instances is a neutral action/position.

I created a new migration tool for Reddit users moving to Lemmy! (github.com)

This tool lets you migrate your own posts from any subreddit to any Lemmy community you want, I made it because I couldn’t find anything else that did it the way I wanted to. I’m super happy how it turned out, I managed to get 9 years worth of posts over this way…...

This is a really cool tool if used correctly. It seems much of the concern comes from spam. Forgive me if this is already a feature or planned, but maybe setting a timer per batches of posts might be helpful? That way you could select what you want moved and each x hours/days if copies a set amount of posts over.

Cool, good luck going forward!

Was checking if anyone had mentioned this. You gotta pay respect to the classics. The whole moon series was great.

It’s more so the singer narrating a conversation from the third person, but it’s a delightful track.

Impossible nuggets are pretty wild

I had them air fried before, and if you really inspect them and think about it you can tell they aren't chicken (from the texture but the taste is identical IMO). But I had them fried in a deep fryer this weekend and they were indistinguishable from real chicken nuggets. I am flexitarian so it's not like I haven't eaten a...

In Canada prices have been dropping drastically recently. Lately there are sales for the beyond meat ground beef for ~6.50 CAD. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until its comparable everywhere.

Grub-btrfs troubles

Hello all, I’m having some network problems on my server (Ubuntu Lunar Lobster Server Edition), namely my plex port is no longer reachable from outside the network despite it being port forwarded and allowed through ufw. A few days ago I used airvpn’s eddie gui program, and it completely wrecked my network. Caused it to be...

Yes, I have a separate boot partition. How would I fix a mismatch? The only posible solution I’ve found is to directly edit the grub entries, but that’s a bit beyond what I’ve done with grub before. Thanks for the response!

luckless,
@luckless@beehaw.org avatar

Yes, I’ve done that to no avail. And when I run “dpkg -l | grep linux-image” it shows I have five different kernels on my system, despite me only having the latest one installed through apt. Edit: Scratch that, I think I was misreading the input but the fact remains I can’t seem to get rid of 6.2.0-24

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. The way grub-btrfs works is by changing the default root snapshot subvolume. I’m still not sure what I did wrong to get the rollback stuck to the particular kernel. But I’ll give what you’ve written here a try. Thanks again.

luckless,
@luckless@beehaw.org avatar

Well, I tried rolling back to another snapshot and checked my kernel params and its not in there. My port issue seems to be fixed but i still do not boot into the new kernel after updating and rebooting. Edit: I think I need to clean up my /boot directory somehow since it’s partition is not btrfs. But I’m unsure how to do it, or where to read up on it.

luckless,
@luckless@beehaw.org avatar

Thanks, it’s looking like I’ll be doing a reset. It looks like grub-btrfs creates its own entries and points towards the boot directory within the /.snapshot/ directory, completely ignoring my boot partitions current files.

Ubuntu was never my first choice but was necessary for using my arc380 with plex transcoding. Might as well take this opportunity to move back to debian with bookworm. Only trouble is I would prefer a 6.2 over 6.1 kernel distribution, and while I enjoy arch on my laptops, I’m not sure I’d want to update my server so frequently.

This community doesn't even disallow porn though. The staff are just comfortable drawing the line where they have.

Your comment further down about how "It's pixels that look absolutely nothing like real human children." Is incredibly disingenuous as the entire point of loli/shota is creating stylized pornographic art that looks like children, it doesn't matter how well they achieve that goal, the subject matter is the same. Frankly it is not "harmless" as you say it is.

I feel as though that's a bit reductive and not really the energy we should be bringing to a discussion. I'm not necessarily saying you're not right in a lot of cases, but it could be seen as disparaging to some.

This is fascinating, but I'm having a hard time grasping something. The title and article mentions that porn addiction itself is not backed by science, but the findings seem to just indicate what the most common predictor for porn addiction is religiosity rather than the previously theorized availability through the internet. Am I misunderstanding something here? I think I'll give it another read...

It's one of my favourites honestly, glad it's already well known around here.
