I absolutely disagree about all fediverse devs being problematic. @ernest is the dev of KBin, and everything I’ve seen of or about him shows he’s a good person and a gem.
Also, there’s a vast difference between being a bit of an asshole sometimes, depending on your point of view (like Linus Torvalds), and trying to justify genocide (lemmy devs).
To head off potential misunderstandings. The “disabling it permanently” in the post meant something like somehow replacing the function with a noop so even if it gets reactivated, it wouldn’t do anything anymore.
And by “deactivating Adaptive Brightness” I didn’t mean just manually changing brightness and then being annoyed when it adapts again. I mean going into the Settings and disabling it, but somehow it gets reenabled randomly.
Nope. But my problem isn’t that disabling it again is too bothersome. It’s that even if I go into Settings->Display and turn off Adaptive Brightness, it turns on again without asking on its own randomly while I’m using my phone.
My experience has been that when I get a 50x when trying to subscribe to a magazine/community, it turns out it worked anyway. Could it be that your blocking worked as well and you’re only seeing their stuff from before you blocked them?
Can you elaborate?
Cannibalism always has increased risk of brain disease. Seems fitting that this applies to AI too.
I did at the time, if I remember correctly. It’s been years though, could have just been an old SSD model that used too much power for the Rpi.
Avoiding the letter E is already a creative writing style, except you don’t hav to wrayt layk this. There’s even a Mastodon instance dedicated to it and a funny writeup about what happened when they came across another mastodon instance where the letter E is the only allowed letter.
as a result the laws are far most maliable
*malleable 😉
Not enough for the needs of an HDD
If you write !someCommunity@some.instance and aren’t on some.instance yourself, that works for everyone, regardless of whether their instance server knows about that community already or not.
If you are on some.instance and write !someCommunity@some.instance, both lemmy and kbin are overzealous and it ends up only working for people on some.instance.
In that case, you can use [link text for lemmy users](/c/someCommunity@some.instance) and [link for kbin users](/search?q=someCommunity@some.instance). The one for kbin users looks a bit different to guarantee the link works even if their instance doesn’t have anyone subscribed to someCommunity@some.instance yet. Not sure if the lemmy link works in such a case.````````
IIRC it’s technically possible to attach an external harddrive to a Raspberry Pi if it has its own power supply.
I seem to remember doing a botch where I took a USB hard disk drive that was supposed to get its power from the PC through the cable and rerouted the power over USB lines to a dedicated power brick.
My memory says I carefully removed a section of mantle in the middle of the drive’s USB cable, cut the power carrying lines but leaving the data lines intact, cut one end of a different USB cable, connected the power lines of that with the cut power lines of the drive’s cable (only on the drive side, obviously), put the intact end of the second cable into a USB charge plug, and connected the drive and RPi as if the RPi were a regular PC.
I’m pretty sure it worked.
I just blocked the entire instance. Does that not work in lemmy?
Ah, so it was people being prideful idiots because it didn’t come from their own fiefdom.
True. Why did it remain relatively unknown while webp seems to have taken off?
So basically what APNG tried to be?
For a long time I (and people around me) just believed I must have become a lazy person and that I just needed to get over myself. The idea that I might be ill didn’t even come up. When I struggled to write my bachelor’s thesis I did visit an insurance-approved psychologist, but all that guy did was trying to find ways I could motivate myself, with no attempt to find out what was causing me to struggle in the first place rather than just reinforce my perception that I must just be lazy. After a couple of months I stopped going because all those visits did was making me feel worse. Also, because I chose to go to a psychologist directly rather than being delegated there by a doctor/psychiatrist, insurance only covered half of the cost, so it was a waste of money as well.
Really the first idea that it might be a mental illness rather than a personality flaw and being a general failure of a person didn’t come up at all until I read a book in which I saw a lot of myself in the protagonist’s mother who was said in the book to have depression. That same week I had my second bout of suicidal ideation, which drove me to get help asap.
Two reasons I can think of:
lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml are run by them, the former is explictly a tankie haven. While lemmy.ml is supposed to be a general lemmy instance, the admins (which are the same as lemmygrad’s) have spoken in favor of genocide and removed posts on lemmy.ml that are critical of the CCP, especially in regards to the treatment of the Uyghurs.
Most instances have defederated lemmygrad, some have defederated lemmy.ml as well.
