Arguably, the fix should be to "it" since anon is a utility account, not a user.

In Deep Space 9, Jake Sisko (the station commander's son) is a journalist for the Federation News Service. There's a good episode where he ends up in a war zone and the story covers cowardice and PTSD.

This a great answer in a sea of slightly odd food choices. It's healthy for kids to do this, apparently.

Those marine drones are five and a half metres long - so they're like speedboats, not those little hovering ones or those enormous UAVs.

I assume it's just a coincidental interaction. I mean, it's not like yeast wants us to get drunk [citation needed].

I'm happily oblivious much of to (I assume) US politics, so I'm going to read this as if you're talking about Magic the Gathering.

TIL that Takara Tomy (the company that made the Transformers toys) designed the Transformable Lunar Robot LEV-2, aka Sora-Q ("sky sphere"):

I think part of the problem is that even when you're subscribed to the small communities, it's easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.

I'd like an option where you could "super subscribe" or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.

I've enjoyed what I've done with it so far, which is mostly little wasm projects. Once they finally get a proper editor I think it'll really pick up adopters.

No, it'll be fine 99% of the time.

Nowadays, feature detection is done within browsers, and the differences between browsers are small enough that servers generally will serve the same version of a page to all.

The fact that it's Nintendo's IP seems the key thing here.

So did Nintendo get Valve to do this, or is Valve just covering its back from the notoriously-litigious Nintendo?

Maybe it'll be like the final episode of Attack on Titan where the last season was split into multiple parts, and the final part was split into multiple chapters. Was it also a two partner? It got stupid, anyway.

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. That also solves any ordering problem if you, say, you're running local and elsewhere commands and a sync means pressing up gives you an unexpected item.

Sync seems like it's going to be more pain than its worth unless you have all your machines configured the same. I'm not even running the same distros between machines...

I like this author's attitude. I scoffed a bit when I read about "joy that can be found in mediocrity" but he's right that you can (and should) just do something because you enjoy it or it's good for you.

They sold that stuff to the Brits (the £27bn in today's money was only finally paid off in 2006).

If memory serves, the US were also supplying the Nazis at the start of the war.

I agree that US involvement was vital to winning WW2, but the idea that they won it themselves is pure American propaganda.

I've just installed this from your recommendation and it's brilliant. I love the amateur graphics, it just adds to the charm.

Agreed - it's 25 minutes without filler or repetition. Good stuff.

I think you linked to the wrong page; that one's about the different types of roots and root systems.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you mean Lemmy communities, Lemmy instances, or something else?

Bad link 👎

This article seems to be an incomplete pasting of an old article: What Did Ada Lovelace’s Program Actually Do? I was suspicious when it said "A contemporary interpretation of Ada's punch card stack using JavaScript might resemble the following" but didn't have any code.

The real tl;dr is it calculated terms of the Bernoulli series.

Tris, who's behind the excellent No Boilerplate YouTube channel offers mentoring. I don't know if he has spaces or if he's in your budget, but he's got experience explaining things and clearly knows his stuff.

Downvotes are disabled on Beehaw, and I believe that downvotes from other instances don't federate - i.e. they're only visible on the instance the user downvoted from. If you're on a massive instance and you view a popular community you'll still get "useful" numbers of downvotes but otherwise it'll mostly be upvotes.

I think Lemmy does need a more nuanced downvote system (e.g. you need to select a reason or there's a quota or something), but I'm not sure how it'd work with the wider fediverse.

Edit: I should have scrolled more, two people had already written this comment).

It's astonishing and terrible to see populist politicians still saying that climate change is a hoax - and getting elected. It's never been more obvious that what scientist have been saying about global warming (e.g. Exxon's scientists have been saying since 1977) is true and having real world consequences today.

If you're on Windows, you can use Win + .

If you're on Linux, try ctrl + shift + e

I'm surprised you say you don't know what the 😭 face means, since it's just exaggerated crying. Is it because they're too small, or that you suspect there's some implied agreement/subtext you're not party to?

I can see why people wouldn't know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it's not for the intended (I assume...) use.

Did you have any luck?

I was expecting an assassination, not a stupid gift and a terrible accident.

I thought that was catchier than "Private Browsing/Incognito/InPrivate/gift shopping mode".

False dichotomy (or is your logical fallacy the slippery slope? Anyway...) Someone saying that what's happening to Palestinians is wrong does not mean they're saying they want all Israelis killed.

This headline makes it sound like the star has been rumbled counterfeiting Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden CDs 🤘

It's not paywalled here, try using porn mode, clearing that site's cookies or something like archive.today.

I was going to suggest War for the Overworld but at eight years old perhaps that doesn't qualify.

Ah, I just posted about this in !books@lemmy.ml (I forgot what this community was called). My Halloween history:

I'd agree that you can't binge on them - best to just read one in between longer books.

It's been mentioned in every episode so far, but mostly the contestants are ignoring it.

I'm another Kagi fan - after customising it a little it's just so good, and I haven't even played with features like lenses.

I really like the custom bang searches (e.g. I could make !ks gravity search on simple Wikipedia), especially on mobile since Firefox Android doesn't support the normal browser quicksearches (where you set a keyword for each search).

I love that people are still making games for the Amiga, I'll have to add doing one myself on to my nerd–bucket-list.

That's interesting. The flaw with that logic seems to that there'll always be new users, and they'll be playing on hard mode since those vital clues have been removed.

Online it's even more annoying (to me, anyway), because we have the time element specifically for this kind of thing and no-one bothers to use it.
