You've gotta start turning kinda early to avoid running into walls, and the c and v keys (brake right and brake left) will help you on really tight corners

Yeah I'm seriously not seeing any issue here (at least for the image generation part), when you ask it for 'pro-anorexia' stuff, it's gonna give you exactly what you asked for

these pieces of hardware are generally analyzed and reimplemented rather than copied

This process is known as clean room design if anyone wants to do more reading about this

Reddit beats film industry, won’t have to identify users who admitted torrenting (arstechnica.com)

Film companies lost another attempt to force Reddit to identify anonymous users who discussed piracy. A federal court on Saturday quashed a subpoena demanding users' names and other identifying details, agreeing with Reddit's argument that the film companies' demands violate the First Amendment....

Apparently the statute of limitations is 3 years for copyright infringement (source), I'm surprised it wasn't thrown out on that alone (but I'm not a lawyer)

The term has actually been rolling around for a few weeks, it's just used to describe Lemmy and Kbin, since they're based around threads instead of twitter-like posts. Nothing to do with Threads by Meta

It might be kinda hard to pull off, but I’ll see what I can do. I’m not sure if KES can be used to (easily) modify the post rankings, but I think randomly hiding them based on a factor you set could work well. So if you set it to 50% for @memes, it’ll hide half of the posts from there on average.

It’s not perfect, but I think it strikes the right balance between seeing every post and blocking it. I’m busy this weekend but I’ll create an issue on KES’s GitHub repo and someone might beat me to it.

In California, I'll see them running across the street sometimes. There's a lot of forests in my area and sometimes deer will wander out of them and into the neighborhoods

kbin Enhancement Suite: a community-curated script manager that lets you customize your kbin experience (kbin.social)

A couple of weeks ago, @shazbot made this post about a project that they were working on. Since then, @shazbot, @ori, @minnieo and I have been hard at work, and we are excited to finally announce the official release of kbin Enhancement Suite (KES)!...

We'll take a look at that and try to sort it out ASAP

artillect,
@artillect@kbin.social avatar

Sweet! Glad you're liking it so far :)

artillect, (edited )
@artillect@kbin.social avatar

Edit: It appears that this doesn't completely work, we'll keep working on it

I've figured out the issue, as soon as @shazbot sees my pull request on GitHub there should be an update that fixes it! For a temporary fix for now though, you can Ctrl-F GM. and replace them with GM_ (there should be 4 of these, on lines 17, 18, 128, and 133), and remove the await on line 133

Thanks! I worked really hard on that before working on KES, and it was super easy to integrate my script into it

Thank you, hopefully we're able to expand its feature set soon!

Ernest is definitely aware of some of these (he's been spying on us over at @kbinStyles lol), it'd be great to have them be built in! I love that we've got so many people making mods for kbin, it allows you to make things at a super quick pace

artillect,
@artillect@kbin.social avatar

Honestly, it's a great question! While kbin is open source, making userscripts allows you to iterate on changes and get updates out very quickly. It's also much easier to start making userscripts than it is to contribute directly to the project, since you only really need to be familiar with JS, HTML, and CSS. To contribute to kbin, you need to be familiar with PHP and Twig, and set up your own instance for testing your changes.

Plus, while kbin is open source, not every single change will be merged, and there will likely always be features "missing" from it. Userscripts also give you a ton of freedom and flexibility in how you use sites, so you could make crazy changes that aren't remotely possible to merge into it.

Hope that answers your questions!

Is it not showing up? I made it earlier but it hasn't gotten any votes or comments, I wonder if that's why

artillect,
@artillect@kbin.social avatar

I just reposted it, seems to be showing up now

artillect,
@artillect@kbin.social avatar

I'm hoping there will eventually be kbin update or userscript that allows you to change the text size of comments separately from the rest of the site.

That should actually be somewhat easy to do, I just created an issue for it on GitHub. I'm gonna be busy the next few days so I won't be able to work on it until later, but maybe someone else will beat me to it!

artillect,
@artillect@kbin.social avatar

It seems like this is the opposite of the issue we were having with Violentmonkey, we'll see what we can do about fixing it

artillect,
@artillect@kbin.social avatar

Like the collapsible comments didn't work with the endless comment scrolling from kbin usability pack

Ooh, I had no idea that was a feature in KUP! I'll see what I can do to fix that. Should be a relatively easy fix

Please direct bug reports and feature requests for kbin Enhancement Suite to our GitHub repository :) (kbin.social)

If you have found a bug, have any ideas for improvements, or want a new feature to be added to KES, please search the issues page to see if someone else has already submitted an issue. If there isn't one, go ahead and create a new issue, and we will get to it ASAP!

/kbin project management costs, financing, future plans (kbin.social)

I wrote the first line of code for /kbin on January 14, 2021. Around this time, I started working remotely and decided that the time I used to spend commuting to the office would be devoted to /kbin. Throughout this entire period, /kbin has been a hobby project that I developed in my free time. It was also when Lemmy started...

Yes, finally! Ever since the minecraft wiki moved away from gamepedia, it's been absolutely terrible. I avoid Fandom at all costs.

Yup, I'm doing the same thing I've been doing when I make image posts. As far as I can tell, I'm doing nothing different.

SA keycaps come from the IBM Selectric I and II typewriters, as well as the Apple II. I think XDA is just a modern profile developed relatively recently, but it is relatively similar to DSA, which I think also goes back decades.

I think you're also right that IBM is behind the OEM profile, which I think was originally used in the Selectric III

I think it just isn't possible for anyone other than the owner to open the general tab, but as for the others, if you go to /m/magazine/panel/reports, that'll let you view the reports and open the rest of the tabs to change other things (except General, Moderators, Appearance, and Statistics)

I use kbin so I might be wrong, but you do [email protected], so [email protected], becomes https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions

I'm not sure if it works on Lemmy, but on kbin @[email protected] also works, it becomes @nostupidquestions

artillect,
@artillect@kbin.social avatar

Hmm that might be an issue with the way kbin processes it. I know there were some changes to how that worked in the most recent kbin update, @nostupidquestions used to link to https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] but it also does the same for me

It's an old format where you'd post a picture of a thing masquerading as another thing with a caption like this, this one is a suspicious van hiding among the buses

The warning is just a general reminder that kbin is in beta and remote communities won't always work 100% perfectly

artillect,
@artillect@kbin.social avatar

Maybe !spotted will work? If that doesn't, this should

artillect,
@artillect@kbin.social avatar

That's a feature I added a bit later on, you should be able to disable it in the settings menu in the top right. However, this userscript is no longer supported, and has been added to KES (which you can install here), with some more config options added as well.

All good, no worries! And thanks, I'll check out your code and see if there's anything I can use :)
