TWeaK,

I wish Lemmy would make instance agnostic post and comment links. With the current system it’s impossible, as every instance assigns its own number. Instead, links could be in the form https://your instance/comment/number@hostinstance

TWeaK,

I don’t think there’s a need for a GUID, in fact it would be quite difficult - every instance would have to check with every other instance to ensure that the ID’s are unique. Meanwhile, if we just have the federated host picking a number, then every other host uses that number followed by @hostinstance, we don’t need cross-checking but still have unique ID’s for everything.

For example, https://lemm.ee/comment/123456 would be a different comment to https://lemmy.nz/comment/123456 (as it is currently also), but the first comment could be found on the 2nd instance as https://lemmy.nz/comment/[email protected].

TWeaK,

The English have tikka masala, the Dutch have satay chicken.

What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....

TWeaK,

I saw recently that chicken soup actually causes an immune response of some kind that helps make you better.

TWeaK,

Nuts and seeds.

With women who have already had breast cancer, taking 12mg of lignin (found in flak and some other seeds) every day correlated with an 80% reduction in death after 5 years.

Beans are good also. As well as Greens, Onions, Mushrooms, & Berries.

TWeaK,

But they will use up a whole load of arsenal and buy a lot more. Money for arms dealers.

TWeaK,

EA is worse with data collection imo. Or at least just as bad.

Steam has always done a little bit of it, particularly their hardware surveys, but even then it’s never felt so creepy when they do it.

TWeaK,

Yeah, the one thing I would say is that you can never be 100% certain what data is being gathered by closed source software, especially if there is an encrypted communication channel. Saying that though, Valve are decently trustworthy.

TWeaK,

Also looks like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon.

TWeaK,

“Where’s my turkey?!”

TWeaK,

Well of course they kill turkeys, turkeys sleep in the owls’ trees.

TWeaK,

It wasn’t much of a joke really, just shoehorning in the fact that turkeys sleep in trees lol. So do peacocks. I found out the latter one when I stayed at this hotel that had resident peacocks, in the morning half the cars had peacock poop on them.

Swedish company Northvolt develops new state-of-the-art sodium-ion battery produced with locally sourced materials, entirely independent of traditional battery value chains (northvolt.com)

In a statement, Northvolt says its validated cell is more safe, cost-effective, and sustainable than conventional nickel, manganese and cobalt (NMC) or iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries and is produced with minerals such as iron and sodium that are abundant on global markets....

TWeaK,

This isn’t some technology being researched, it’s an actual product in development. I’d certainly take their numbers with a pinch of salt but the premise is solid.

TWeaK,

Notable absense of comparing it to Lithium battery

I spotted that also.

In terms of BESS, my experience is that the bigger issue has been designing cubicles that don’t leak or catch fire.

TWeaK,

Oh no. Whatever will people do. I guess they just won’t be able to find music.

Fucking good riddance to Spotify.

TWeaK,

Yes exactly. They proved that advertisements can and will be shown alongside objectionable content, and that there are no protections against that. Them conducting a test is not “manufacturing images”. X arguing the vast majority of users won’t experience that is merely because the majority of users won’t browse that content - but those who do will see any adverts alongside it.

This is a frivolous lawsuit from a company that will probably be gone before the suit is even heard. Twitter is worth barely more than its debt at this point - and that’s ignoring things like not paying rent for their offices.

TWeaK,

… I don’t trust that URL lmao.

TWeaK,

I think you should keep it to yourself. Far better to have complete control over it than have other people pulling child porn into your instance or whatever.

TWeaK,

Yeah I’m just completely unable to parse it. Also searching for the URL doesn’t come up with anything, and it isn’t yet in the lemmyverse.net or anywhere else. Elestio is a developer platform, you’re running a virtual machine, and it’s a clone of something else. All of that leaves me a little wary.

Frankly though I think users should be far more wary of the instance they use. The fact is, you’re placing your faith entirely in the instance admin - just because it says Lemmy v0.18.4 doesn’t mean that’s actually what the site is running. I went for lemm.ee in the end because the admin really seemed to know his stuff.

TWeaK,

FYI the instance agnostic links are:

  • !community@instance
  • /c/community@instance
  • /u/user@instance

These are supposed to generate an instance agnostic link regardless of who clicks it. That means they’ll go to their instance’s version of your page, which means they can subscribe or whatever with their logged in account. Rather than going to an entirely different instance, then having to manually search for it in their own instance. However, the caveat is that not all apps have adopted these links - they work on the website, but not all of them work in Jerboa, for example.

There’s also @user@instance, this doesn’t automatically make a link but if you start typing it (on the website) then you’ll get a popup window with usernames. When you select this you’ll generate the code @user@their_instance. This links to the user’s instance, not the viewer’s instance, but it also sends a mention to the user. So if you reply to another user and mention them, they’ll get a notification. I think you can also fiddle with the link text with like [link text](https://their_instance/u/user) and it should still send a mention, but haven’t tested it.

TWeaK,

No need to apologise, I’m just trying to give you my immediate perspective. That maybe isn’t even all that important if other people see it different to me.

You’ve sold me on the birds, though. However, actually clicking the link redirected me to “urlvoid” page: urlvoid.com/…/pigedove-lemmy-clone-u9568.vm.elest…

TWeaK,

Yeah but kbin has fallen behind on development. The sole dev has been having personal issues, which is understandable, however the project really could do with more imperitive behind it. Someone forked off and made mbin, but so far that’s just diluting things.

I think lemmy is where it’s at. The core devs are questionable (certainly one of the original duo is, the other is maybe more diplomatic) but ultimately it doesn’t matter who the devs are but specifically what code is put into the instance you use. The devs design the machine, but it’s the instance admin who build it, and ultimately the instance admin is who you’re putting your trust with.

TWeaK,

Yes that worked. pigedove-lemmy-clone-u9568.vm.elestio.app

I’m probably done signing up for new accounts in places, but I’ll subscribe to your communities, thereby linking you to lemm.ee, which might help build things up for you.

Edit: I found main and subscribed, but your memes community didn’t come up. Probably too new.

TWeaK,

Says the user coming from a porn instance XD

NGL though, lemmy fuk is cool.

TWeaK, (edited )

I dunno, I thought half the posts there were porn or at least labelled NSFW. You do host one of the best meme communities, from which I occassionally steal.

Also your logo reminds me of Transformice.

Edit: !sexmemes

TWeaK,

While other companies around the world are constantly in search of new ways to screw their own consumers

You bastard, take that upvote.

TWeaK,

Because we’re far cooler than them.

TWeaK,

This reminds me of r/wordavalanche, though not as awesome.

TWeaK,

“Master, may I please have more”

TWeaK,

Wasn’t there a whole thing about the Tories opening up NHS data to the private sector around the same time?

TWeaK,

Title VII of the Civil Rights Acts prohibits discrimination based on sex in matters of employment. They can dictate what teachers teach, but this should be a slam dunk under federal law.

TWeaK,

Mr Robot vs Suzy Izzard

TWeaK,

Lol but only one of those people progressed through the ranks.

TWeaK, (edited )

Think “I love my blue jeans, I love my truck, l love my beer and America” style.

My wife dun died and my dog dun divorced me.

Still, there should be emphasis on the power in power ballad. I hate that song a lot, but at the same time it’s such a powerful earworm that I love it.

TWeaK,

They were different, but they were all still instrumental. When most people think of Star Trek music, they think of horn and violin music. Enterprise had none of that and was heavily lyrical.

TWeaK,

Resistance is futile.

TWeaK,

Terribly awesome, and feeling that way makes you terrible too.

That song is schadenfreude in musical form.

TWeaK,

Fuck yes. Star Trek needs its own Cantina song!

TWeaK,

Voiceover =/= lyrics.

TWeaK,

You can’t just refer to it as “faith of the heart”, it’s “faith of the heaarrr-arrr-arr-arr-arrrt”.

TWeaK,

I think that’s a hawk.

Owls have sausage eyes, they are fixed focal length and go back into their skulls, leaving very little room for a brain.

Edit: with a reverse image search, it seems I’m not the first to say this. My guess is that this is just dodgy taxidermy - maybe it was an owl, but taxidermy is notoriously bad at eyes.

TWeaK,

Ahhh yeah you can see it, there’s a bit of fluff that looks like it’s the right leg going over, but it’s just fluff.

Owls are 90% fluff, so this checks out.

TWeaK,

sss-ahhw-ss

TWeaK,

Have you ever been to Bristol? The way they pronounce “half” reminds me of American accents. Not “half” like the Queen’s English, not “haff” like some places oop norff, but “haaaff” said with kind of a wide mouth. It perhaps makes sense, as Bristol was a port town that a lot of early immigrants to America started from.

That and Scottish kids. I think they watch so much YouTube these days (particularly up in the middle of nowhere) that they pick up a twang of American.

TWeaK,

“Cross” is very short in British English dialects, meanwhile “sauce” is much closer to “source”, to the point that they’re almost indistinguishable. American English dialects tend to elongate the “ahh” sounds.

Sauce: I used to speak in American, but now I speak in bastardised English where I trip off the path and whipe my ass on the grass, but no one ever knows how I might pronounce those words.

TWeaK,

How can you downvote literal British humour against someone trying to do fake British humour?? Sarcastic depravation is the name of the game.
