I'm not sure where to look for information about general Lemmy federation updates, but I'm wondering if the "Sort by Active" issues have been improved. As of a month ago, people said that it was best to use "Top Twelve Hours" because of some bug with "Active". Does anyone know if the problem has been improved?

Don't you have to use a lawyer licensed in Georgia? Maybe he got thrown in jail for being an idiot.

Don't you need a lawyer who is licensed in the state? Why would you want to fly in a lawyer from out of state, even if you could afford it?

Cindy Crawford looks looks incredibly manly. That's the weirdest one for me.

I subscribe to technology@lemmy.world and there is a recent post about Python and Excel. I can access the article but I can't see any comments while using my lemm.ee account. I switched to my lemdro.id account and I can see the comments. I'm curious why there is a disconnect. Is it because the posting came from someone on kbin? This is the link to the posting that I grabbed while logged into lemm.ee:

Probably the only reason Mexico hasn't already pulled it out is because they don't want to waste money that they know will never be reimbursed to them.

Maybe the US will take it down and bill Texas themselves.

Sounds like Mexico can just take down most of this thing.

Edit: As a US citizen, I support Mexico's immigration services to detain any Texas construction workers that illegally cross the border to service this thing.

I also would support the governor of this region of Mexico to put these construction workers on a bus and drop them deep in the heart of Mexico somewhere.

I searched for information and Google pointed me to a Lemmy posting at: https://lemmy.world/post/1697414

My main account is this one on lemm.ee and I would like to comment in that post from this account, but I can't figure out how to view that specific post from this account. Is there some trick with putting a "!" in front of that path?

I read somewhere that the order of "locking him up" could be appealed extensively and would be an effective delay tactic for him. I think that is why the DC judge wants to speed things up in response to this behavior.

I'm using Firefox more as my first choice, but I can't get away from Chrome completely because of work. I still consider my Chrome bookmarks the "master" and occasionally sync them to Firefox. I would like to be able to bookmark something while in Firefox and then have it available from my other devices using either browser. Is there a way to have my bookmarks stored in a common location, like Google Drive, and accessed from either browser? I tried Floccus with Google Drive as the location but I can't get it to work.

This question isn't specific to lemm.ee, but any Lemmy instance with the standard web interface. Is there a way to make the postings on the home page more compact? For example, the fairly large image thumbnail takes up vertical space and makes for more scrolling to read the various postings. Not a big deal, but I like my experience to be more text-based and concise.

Edit: I just found the "themes" in the settings and found more compact settings. Nevermind.

In the US, a University is usually a collection of colleges. Each college has a somewhat independent structure from other colleges within the University, and each is led by its own Dean. Each college has different requirements of entry and provide rules for what it takes to get a degree from that college. But ultimately, you get a degree from something like "The University of Whatever, College of Engineering". All the colleges have some certain amount of oversight and guidelines set up by the overall institution.

I was curious about this last week and found an article that provides some other examples of this type of usage:

"The translation’s grammatical archaism made it even more powerful, resonating with lines in Tennyson (“I am become a name, for always roaming with a hungry heart”), Shakespeare (“I am come to know your pleasure”), and the Bible (“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness”)."

https://www.openculture.com/2023/07/j-robert-oppenheimer-recites-the-line-now-i-am-become-death-the-destroyer-of-worlds.html

The article also provides some commentary from a scholar about how to translate the original Sanskrit that Oppenheimer is referencing.

Edit: This article is referenced in the above article, and provides some interesting insight into why Oppenheimer was thinking of this quote. His situation was very similar to the situation of Arjuna, who speaks the original phrase in the ancient story. It really gives some additional insight into how many different mental levels Oppenheimer must have been able to conceptualize.

This is my favorite part of the article:


Söhnlein said the Titan passengers' deaths shouldn't stop humans from continuing to investigate carbon fiber hulled submersibles as a way to reach the bottom of the ocean.

"Forget OceanGate. Forget Titan. Forget Stockton. Humanity could be on the verge of a big breakthrough and not take advantage of it because we, as a species, are gonna get shut down and pushed back into the status quo," he said.


Those two sentences really highlight how crazy this guy is.

Also possibly becathe doesn't own the building and needs approval of the owner.

It's especially relevant when you consider the phrase "Canary in a coal mine", which literally and figuratively describes early warning of a problem.

This isn't specific to lemm.ee, but I found a community called https://squabbles.io/s/technology

But I can't see any place on lemm.ee that lets me subscribe to it from my lemm.ee account. I searched for it under Communities, but it doesn't show up as an option.

I was using one of the various publicly-hosted teddit sites (like https://teddit.privacytools.io/, which is currently rate-limited). It is pretty easy to import your Reddit subscriptions into one of these instances and have it show just your normal subscription content. You can't comment, but it was nice for lurking while Lemmy content was still coming up to speed.

I was able to easily launch a Teddit instance on my Linux server yesterday for my own usage using the Docker instructions on this site. It's not rate limited because I'm the only person using it.

https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

I just saved that example into a file called "teddit.yml", and made the changes that they mention for non production usage:

Change ports: - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080" to ports: - "8080:8080" Remove DOMAIN=teddit.net, USE_HELMET=true, USE_HELMET_HSTS=true, TRUST_PROXY=true

Then I just ran this command and I can use it on my home network.

sudo docker-compose -f ~/docker/compose/teddit.yml up -d

I just access it with a browser at http://192.168.1.6:8080

For getting your Reddit subscriptions loaded into it, there is a trick to get a text list of your list of Reddit subscriptions, which you then just paste into a .json file and import into any teddit instance from the webpage. See the bottom of this post.

The .json file just contains this, with your list of subscriptions in a comma-separated string with double quotes: {"subbed_subreddits":["AskReddit","LifeProTips","Music"],"theme":"dark","flairs":"true","nsfw_enabled":"true","highlight_controversial":"true","post_media_max_height":"medium","collapse_child_comments":"false","show_upvoted_percentage":"true","show_upvotes":"true","videos_muted":"true","domain_twitter":"","domain_youtube":"","domain_instagram":"undefined","domain_quora":"","domain_imgur":"","prefer_frontpage":"true","show_large_gallery_images":"false","default_comment_sort":"best"}

----------- Downloading your Reddit subscriptions as a text string ---------

1.) Visit this site in a desktop browser while logged into your account: https://www.reddit.com/subreddits

2.) Paste this into the address bar, but don't press enter yet.

javascript:$('body').replaceWith(''+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).text()).get().join("\",\"")+'');javascript.void()

{I'm not sure if the formatting of that command always displays properly on Lemmy or your app. The part in the join() section is: doublequote backslash doublequote comma backslash doublequote doublequote}

3.) You might have to manually type the "javascript" text at the beginning of that command in the address bar because I found that Windows or the browser ignores that part when you paste.

4.) Press enter, and you should get a text list of your subscriptions displayed in your browser that you can copy and paste into any text document, like the above-mentioned.json file. Just manually add a leading and trailing double quote to make it work with that teddit.json format.
