Ok but for real tho. The average American severely underestimates how far you can get on rice, beans, lentils and chickpeas.

On top of that, it’s apparently used in astronomy to represent clusters of stars, like a constellation.

Isn’t that kind of perfect though

Personally i think they’re just as scared as we are. They’re just too fucking old to have a realistic picture of the political landscape. Gen X is going to get us all killed.

TL;DR: Articles on mastodon will now automatically link to the author’s fediverse handle.

Seems like an essential feature to me. Curious to see if it’ll be in the beta.

Love this guy. Also a big fan of his song cancer

I’m also watching the open book project.

If it just had epub support it’d be perfect

Unmanic to optimize your library in the background. Encoding things to x265 can buy you a huge amount of space.

Edit: Reading again i see that you’re on a pi. Not at all sure what the video encoding performance is on those.

Seems to me the most likely explanation is they got caught and fixed it.

This is super exciting. I think one of the things a lot of people are missing here is the potential for small wikis to augment existing fediverse communities. Reddit’s killer feature has always been the massive treasure trove of information for hobbyists and niche interests. There is huge potential in the fediverse to take advantage of that sort of natural collaborative knowledge building process.

I honestly don’t remember but I do recall it’s way more of a process than it used to be

Pretty utilitarian on the ol thinkpad

Worth noting, they have since publicly apologized

Removed by mod

I don’t think it’s fair to write off the entire medium like that. They all share a common ancestor in Twitter and I think it’s fair to say the toxicity is inherited from there.

The biggest problem with traditional forums is the fact that participation requires yet another account. This is the most significant thing that discord has going for it, nearly everybody already has a discord account. Federated forums mostly solve this issue tho

This is some toxic lemmy culture bullshit.

That is for the fediverse overall. Most of that comes from Mastodon. I personally have a little more faith in fedidb.org and their numbers. Also, worth noting the criteria for active users on Lemmy was recently changed to include votes, whereas before it only counted comments and posts.

mastodon, bluesky, and lemmy are just going to be footnotes in history

Only if they squander their lead. So long as they innovate in ways befitting the fediverse form, they will probably maintain their position. That said, it seems to me like modular systems like bonfire will probably leapfrog the existing platforms pretty quickly.

Absolutely wild that this is a group of minors.
