  • Bit concerned about the view votes option now available.

    Jump

  • I agree that it's good to let users know that their votes are public, but I think it would be better to just tell them that (kind of like how Mastodon says "heads up, DMs are not encrypted") and not by also giving them easy access to that information. Simply because if it's easier for more people to do, then more people will be tempted to do it.

    I definitely agree that downvotes should be reconsidered entirely. It's basically outsourcing moderation duties to the users, not to mention that people will always incorrectly use it as a "disagree" button.

  • True, but some UI decisions can make good behavior easier, or unhealthy behavior harder. Even if downvotes are technically public already, I think it's a good idea to at least have a little bit of a barrier up, to make it less tempting to check. Having to manually go to lemvotes provides a decent barrier.

    This is the first I've heard about it (I'm on piefed myself), but I don't think it's a good idea. People will get snippier when they have this info available to them.

  • ObsidianMD Users of Lemmy, What Was Your Experience Like?

    Jump

  • Your misinterpretation is WAY more accurate than you realize, lol. Obsidian gained an almost cult-like following very quickly. It has made people obsessively document their day. They are hooked on it. Obsidian turned journaling into a drug. If a hardcover notebook is a fine cigar, Obsidian is a vape. You know who won't like me saying that? People who vape. They don't want to be compared to Obsidian users.

  • Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?

  • Sumo wrestling. OK, it definitely has more fans than "basically nobody," although it's not exactly popular in the west. I have noticed a couple of people talking about it on Mastodon, and there's a community at !sumo@lemmy.world.

    A while ago I stumbled upon a TV broadcast one night when I couldn't sleep, and immediately found it interesting. Now I intentionally watch them live when I can, and otherwise catch replays the next day. A very exciting tournament just wrapped up a few days ago. The next one is in November.

  • Immich mobile app sync V2

    Jump

  • Ah, gotcha. That's a use case I hadn't thought of. Mine is just the photo backup for my current phone, so when I have my phone with me, I can see all of the photos on the phone itself.

  • Immich mobile app sync V2

    Jump

  • I'm using immich and really like it, but I'm not using the Android app. I have synthing on my phone, and I let syncthing send the photos to my server. Then Immich detects the files in the syncthing folder.

    Is there any benefit to using the app? Or would using the app be basically the same thing that I'm doing now?

  • Linkwarden v2.13 - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve what matters (tons of new features!) 🚀

    Jump

  • My JSON export from wallabag is 46 megabytes. That's for 2,465 articles.

    Jump

  • I love how active the development on Linkwarden is. I still have all of my stuff in wallabag, but Linkwarden is tempting. I gave the hosted trial a try a few weeks ago, but my wallabag export was too big to import. Maybe I'll try selfhosting it and manually increasing the max upload size this time.

    Jump

  • Yep, that's exactly what this is for. You use Linkwarden to bookmark things, though -- it's not for your browser bookmarks. But there's a browser extension, so you're still just clicking one button to bookmark things. And you can export your browser bookmarks and then import them in Linkwarden.

    Is fediverse turning into reddit?

    Jump

  • Prying into who has downvoted you is just not a healthy habit to get into. If you run your own instance, it's important to just never use that ability.

    IMO, this is the kind of DM that is best ignored. I think most of us don't want these communities to work like that; don't give it any oxygen.

    Why does philosophy education make people uncomfortable?

    Jump

  • ^ this is probably the right answer here. Philosophy became the token academic discipline that is used to mock the idea of being educated. It had been going around for a while as a joke, but then became a more serious cultural wedge at some point, like around 2014 as you said. To me, it looked like it accelerated and became mainstream when Marco Rubio said "plumbers make more money than philosophers" in a Republican debate in 2015. (That is false, too: https://www.forbes.com/sites/katiesola/2015/11/11/rubio-welders-philosophers/)

  • I don't even know if windows is good or not now.

    Jump

  • That's definitely it for me. I have one Windows computer remaining, my gaming PC in my living room. And every few weeks, when I turn it on, I get the full-screen "let's finish setting up Windows" wizard, which wants me to subscribe to Office 365 and OneDrive. This PC is six years old; it's set up already. I'm going to install Bazzite pretty soon.

  • The release of asciinema CLI 3.0!

    Jump

  • So THAT'S what those "not actually a video but plays like a video" text demos are. This is so cool.

    1. Indian
    2. Mexican

    I try to eat mostly vegetarian at home, and Indian recipes are my go-to for that. Indian food is the best tasting vegetarian food in my opinion. I was tempted to put Chinese here because I make tofu stir fry somewhat frequently, but I go with Indian recipes more often.

    Mexican for the second choice because that gives you huevos rancheros, Mexican rice and beans, and homemade corn tortilla chips with guacamole. And breakfast burritos from the place down the street from me.

  • A look at search engines with their own indexes

    Jump

  • Great list! I've been wanting to start using a smaller search engine with its own index, just for the sake of making sure there's an alternative to GBY. (Also, there's a new and useful acronym, haha.) Mojeek was the only one I was aware of before today.

    BTW, exalead.com doesn't seem to be a search engine anymore. I recognized that one because I remember discovering it a while ago...in 2007, maybe? But it looks like it's not available as a regular search engine now.

    edit: Also, this is the first really useful page I've read via the Gemini protocol, so thanks for that!
