rimu@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•PSA: every interaction you make with various posts on kbin is viewable to everyone.
4·2 years agoOften, the option to downvote is the only thing stopping me from getting sucked into some stupid argument with an idiot. It is a massive productivity booster. Downvote and move on.
I wish kbin would hide posts with lots of downvotes…
rimu@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Will it ever be possible for kbin to federate with PeerTube?
5·2 years agoI expect it will be - it seems to almost work already. For example, take this peertube channel - https://tube.arthack.nz/c/intertwingled/videos?s=1.
I tried a few different things in the kbin search and
@intertwingled@tube.arthack.nzgot a result that I could subscribe to. If that channel posts another video, it might show up in kbin. Will it be a microblog? A thread? A magazine? Who knows! kbin seems very confused about all of this.

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Non-commercial Open Source License?
6·2 years agoYou don’t need to read much history to find plenty of bad things done by non-commercial entities, e.g. governments. Or churches.
It’s not commerce that is the problem, it is oppression. Use of my code for oppressive purposes is the thing I want to avoid.

Linux@kbin.social•Every Linux Geek Needs to Know Sed and Awk. Here’s Why… - The Tech Edvocate
2·2 years agoWanna see something that makes even Perl look elegant and readable? Check out any sed script. Here’s tetris, in sed: https://github.com/uuner/sedtris/blob/master/sedtris.sed

Technology@beehaw.org•Kev Quirk, one of the admins of Fosstodon (a Mastodon instance), destroys Meta in an email exchange.
21·2 years agoI wonder if Gab was invited. It would be hilarious if the only instances willing to federate with Meta were Nazis.
This seems ideal for something like ActivityPub where data is flowing between different people and places all the time. Looks like the tooling isn’t there yet, though.

Another thing to bear in mind is that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are totally overloaded at present. While their UI might function Ok, behind the scenes there are queues of content to be sent out to other servers that get pretty choked up.
Content from before you subscribe is not sent, only from that point onwards (unless someone else on the same server already subscribed to it).
Lemmy has a bug where when you search it won’t show any results at first, and then 10 seconds later it’ll show your magazine. Are you waiting 10+ seconds?
Yup. There needs to be some de-duplication code, somehow.

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Is there any Linux tablet similar to a surface
2·2 years agoI have a Yoga 530, running KDE 5.24.4. The touch functionality is really broken, basically unusable. Try Gnome, anything is better than this.
rimu@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•images on the left side would make kbin easier to read
1·2 years agoSorry to get your hopes up - it turns out that moving the image to the left is really hard (aka I don’t know CSS grid very well). Also the other changes I wanted ended up being identical to “Compact mode” which you can enable with the cog in the top right. Highly recommended.

Aotearoa / New Zealand@lemmy.nz•We want your thoughts on keeping politically controversial posts in !politics
4·2 years agoThose are all politics.
But, 4 months out from an election, pretty much every single post in !newzealand is going to be politics. There’s no way to fight that, for now.
