  • Wanting to restart my Webcomic. Any alternative to Wordpress that I could use on my website?

  • Fediverse for teens

    Jump

  • My read of OP's question was asking about something they could switch the friend group to. If they don't want to switch to anything else, then they're stuck on Snapchat because that's what they're already using.

  • Fediverse for teens

    Jump

  • It's not part of the Fediverse, but Signal is a good for group chats. It's got reactions and gifs and whatnot, and you can also ignore the notifications you don't care about.

  • This will be really funny, until you remember 99% of current super hyped AI stuff is running on Python

    Jump

  • To be fair, Python is just glue for code written in lower level languages when it comes to AI

  • ISO 8601

    Jump

  • Posting in ISO format now, we'll see if there's any objections

  • parseInt(5)

    Jump

  • If anyone's wondering why:

     
        
>> 0.000005
0.000005

  

     
        
>> 0.0000005
5e-7

  • Do you mean the post titles? I've been using the same format as was used since before I took over posting, but if people want ISO format that works for me

  • Why do many Americans seem to racially stereotype other Americans solely based on their appearance?

    Jump

  • I'm guessing you're also @ask_lemmy@lemmy.world. You should really not create a new account every time you post. It's one thing to move to a new identity every few months or something for privacy reasons, but for every post is a bit much.

  • What's a good Lemmy community to ask more deeper questions about societal topics (that can be potentially emotionally charged)?

    Jump

  • To paraphrase the guidelines from another site:

    Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. Lemmy is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.

    IMO creating a new account every time you post something is bad form and pollutes the fediverse

  • For good faith questions, I've got a few that I've been meaning to post to !discuss@discuss.online, we appreciate good discussion. The community's been a little quiet but I'm going to put some work into it. I do specify "good faith" just because it doesn't need to become another "here's my 'unpopular' opinion that is actually popular and i want validated" or "here's why I hate

    <minority>

    ". If you're going to post bad-faith questions, or want to skirt the lines of what's appropriate, that will make my life harder as admin and that's considered a bannable offense 🙂

    There's also !AskUSA@discuss.online for US-specific questions. We generally avoid politically-charged topics because there's better places for those, but questions that aren't just "Why does Trump suck?" might be a good fit.

    Here's a sample of a few recent popular !AskUSA@discuss.online posts if they pique anyone's interest:

  • Anybody from Asia, typically from South Asia here ?

    Jump

  • Is there any lemmy server hosted from the USA ?

    Jump

  • Yep, it runs on Lemmy also and federates just as you'd expect

  • Full URL for clicky goodness: https://discuss.online/

    We welcome new users! We've got a signup process to keep out spam, but it's really basic. You just have to answer 3 questions and not have it be obviously AI slop. We're generally pretty quick about approving new users, and if we're not for some reason you can ping me, @jgrim@discuss.online or @lazyguru@discuss.online.

    We've got a welcome thread to point you in the right direction if you're new to the discuss.online and/or the Fediverse: https://discuss.online/post/16318079. If chat is your thing, we've also got a chatroom at https://matrix.to/#/#online.discuss:discuss.online

    Lastly I'll plug the !AskUSA@discuss.online community that I help mod as well. I just posted the weekly How was your week in the US? thread and asked how many geese everyone thinks they could take on.

  • Don't be a third derivative of position, do the force times displacement

    Jump

  • IMO posts like this are great. It's way better to post stuff you want to see than complain about what's getting posted. It's also how we get good memes and we could use a few more beyond beans and Nicole.

  • People who've read the wheel of time, what's your favorite fan theories?

    Jump

  • It was a fan theory that was actually confirmed IIRC, but the Seanchan drawl is equivalent to a Texan accent.

  • What are three questions you can ask someone new to know if they are friend material or not?

    Jump

  • Close enough, you're cool. Here's the actual list though (wiki link):

    • Freedom 0: The freedom to use the program for any purpose.
    • Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish.
    • Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute and make copies so you can help your neighbor.
    • Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits.

  • What ya nerds set your thermostats to?

    Jump

  • It depends on where you sleep. Basement vs upstairs can make a huge difference at the same thermostat setting. I keep mine set to be between 19°C and 25°C and don't have trouble sleeping.

    Speaking of which, anyone else use Home Assistant / Z-Wave?

  • My only question is "What are the four essential freedoms of free software?". If they can list them I know they're alright
