Nerd, truck driver, and kinda creeped that you’re reading this.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

bdonvr,

I have an instance of WefWef just for my Lemmy instance. app.thelemmy.club

That way I can give my users WefWef without having to put any more load on their main server

bdonvr,

Cool! But does the bot have to know of this community to see mentions? How does fediverse tagging work?

bdonvr,

Sweet - makes sense. Just tested it on an obscure community on a small instance. Worked!

YSK: Commas can be used in phone numbers to automatically input automated menu options

For instance, I’m on Jury Duty in the US this week. Kinda a freebie but I still have to call in and input my “ID” number, birthday, and zip code before entering phone tree options to hear my summons status. So I saved a contact in my phone for the jury hotline with the main number, my Id number, birthday, zip code, and...

bdonvr,

You should mention that the commas just make the phone wait a second or two before continuing dialing.

For my work I have to press “1” then the extension number. But you have to wait for an opening message before it will allow you to press “1”

My contact for my workplace is <phone number>,1,<extension>

You’ll have to do some experimenting to get the delay right.

But now I can call work handsfree.

bdonvr,

Not enough, I’m disappointed tbh. I’ll unblock them when they man up and actually learn how to properly flood a site with B E A N S

bdonvr,

Turn off NSFW in your user profile first. But you’re right.

bdonvr,

I always wondered why that didn’t happen more with AMAs. Like edit your question after they answer to make them look bad.

I mean they had people as big as sitting presidents do AMAs.

bdonvr,

This is badly written - to someone who doesn’t know any of this it reads like they’re missing out on something. Yes there’s !games and !games - but you don’t need an account on either to participate in both! You can just go there and browse, comment, etc.

Eventually one will become dominant, and it will all be fine.

bdonvr,

This is gonna get ugly when payments resume.

bdonvr,

I think it’s better to link it instance-agnostically. Like this:

!support

bdonvr,

Nah lol, I’m an admin and could see all the email addresses they were using. Fake af

bdonvr,

What did !remindme ever do to you eh?

bdonvr,

Lmao deleted his account

Who owns the Fediverse? I mean who owns and runs the hardware that runs this system?

I’ve been talking to many people about the controversy with Reddit, why I left it and why I went onto Lemmy, Kbin and Mastadon instead. Some of my friends have commented that the control is still a problem as other platforms and it is all dependent on who owns the software, who owns the hardware, who are the admins, who are...

bdonvr,

Well the main developers of lemmy and admins of lemmy.ml are communists, if I recall correctly.

But there are already far-right instances.

The answer basically boils down to “Nobody, however it is important to know who runs the largest instances, as they will wield a fair amount of influence”

bdonvr,

They definitely are. lemmy.ml/post/55143

“While @dessalines and I are communists”

I believe the .ml domain was chosen specifically to signify Marxism-Leninism.

Though I said this as a statement of fact, to answer the question. As a Marxist-Leninist myself I did not mean to imply anything by it.

bdonvr,

Lmao even if it weren't just no out of principle, after spez's comments about how Twitter under Elon is a model for Reddit to look to - why would I waste an ounce of energy on such a platform?

bdonvr,

There's also Memmy. https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

But it's also unfinished

bdonvr,

I’d like to really really caution people about Oracle Free Tier.

They’ve been known to suddenly ban free tier users, with no explanation or recourse. Happened to me and many others. I had a lemmy instance on it, hadn’t started my backup plan yet cause I was dumb, and Oracle just emailed me that my “trial was over”, server immediately shut down, and support stonewalled me.

Couldn’t even get my data. So if you want to try it, make sure you have a backup plan and a plan on what to do if they pull the plug.

Some have been using it for years, though. Just be ready.

bdonvr,

To be fair I don’t think making a vinyl is very hard, it’s basically just stamped from a mold.

bdonvr,

TEST FAILED, YOU WILL NOW BE PURGED.
