I learned to play the guitar growing up as a young rapscallion in Mississippi. But things didn't really take off until I moved to Memphis. There I met the Colonel and the hits just kept coming. Unfortunately, the fame went to my head, I gained a lot of weight, started wearing a white jumpsuit, and ate tranquilizers like they were trail mix. Then, in 1977, I died on the toilet.

Or did I?

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • What is your up- & downvote behaviour?

    Jump

  • Pretty much same as you listed, actually, but with a few additions:

    Upvote:

    • Mark reply as read as long as it's not something under the no-vote/downvote criteria
    • Pity (i.e. if I don't think a post/comment deserves the downvotes it's getting)
    • I'll usually give posts to the communities I mod an upvote b/c I appreciate the contribution

    No-Vote:

    • Something I disagree with but doesn't merit a downvote
    • A post I don't like that is in a community I'm not subscribed to (i.e. when browsing /all)

    Downvote:

    • Violates the community rule where it's posted
    • Is part of some bandwagon nonsense (e.g. the moths that have polluted the feed in the last several days, beans, etc)
    • Absolutist statements/positions, especially ones that paint the world in overly broad strokes.

  • You're still a powerful man. Why else would I be kissing your ass?

  • Piefed does have an API now, but it's up to the app devs to use it. That's where I haven't even gotten started lol.

  • I'm the Tess dev, and adding Piefed support has been on my backburner for a while now. Sadly my (lack of) free time has not allowed that to progress.

  • FWIW, the first post showed the image in the feed, but maybe that's just Tesseract doing its thing (it jumps through hoops to try to display images from whatever source it can find in the post data).

    I shall also re-comment my response image lol.

  • Anybody else block Lemmit.Online spambot?

    Jump

  • Not blocked, but my instance is fully de-federated from lemmit.online.

    And yes, I consider all the re-post instances/bots to be spam.

  • Yeah, some are. It's just unfortunate that you frequently have to pre-order, fund a kickstarter, or roll the dice with some unknown Chinese brand that may or may not ever see a software update/3rd party ROM support. That, or they're more expensive because of the smaller production runs.

    I really like the PlanetCom ones, but they're a bit pricey and have some quirks that would probably make them not a good fit for me as a daily driver. Not sure I'd want to pay those prices for a secondary device.

    I did order a Minimal Phone the other day (July batch), so hopefully should have that toward the end of July/early August.

    Until then, I'll keep using my Cat S22 Flip which I have grown to actually love.

  • Both of my last two laptops have internal batteries. Both of them are also fairly easy to replace. The Thinkpad is the easiest (as is usually the case), but my old Zenbook is almost as easy (just requires a very tiny torx screwdriver which I already had from my cell phone repair days).

    As long as they're not glued in and otherwise a huge PITA to replace (like phones), I'm okay with internal batteries.

  • What's a good instance to be on at the moment?

    Jump

  • It does, but I'm talking more about scheduled posts. Many instances require those to be tagged as bots.

  • Looks like someone remembered to take their Elderly Supplement 221

  • Well....I guess I did miss the nod.

    That also shuts down my fever dream theory lol.

  • The only one I saw I kind of liked was the Titan, but it seemed a bit out of date (not sure if it gets updates, and I didn't see it listed as supported for LineageOS).

    Jump

  • Or even a nod in Lower Decks (or if there was, I missed it).

    But yeah, so many things in that episode that should have been followed-up on weren't, and everyone just seems to have pretended it never happened.

  • Every time I see this episode, I just assume it's someone's fever dream but the scenes establishing that as the framing device were cut for time constraints.

  • Maybe dubvee? That's kind of the exact vibe we're fostering.

    Site info: https://dubvee.org/site

    I'm looking for a instance with...

    • the fewest trolls (they're site-banned upon discovery)
    • [the fewest] bots (see rule 2: "No fscking bots"). Some bots are allowed, but only ones that are just a human queuing up things to post on a schedule.
    • and anyone that likes to take things to the extremes (See Rule 8)

    Cons are that a lot of accounts are banned (rule 8) and we don't federate with some instances: .ml, grad, hexbear, lemdroid (too much spam originates there). We're kind-of the opposite of lemm.ee in a lot of ways, so it might be a bit jarring if that's where you're coming from.
