Ah! Gotcha. Thanks for the info.

Yup, that's right. The scene in GTA San Andreas there has become a viral meme to express... well... "ah shit, here we go again."

Where's this "notification feature"? I'm more interested in community notifications than user, post, or comment notifications. But I'm looking at the community page and at my settings section and I'm not seeing anything about community notification settings. I can join/leave a community, of course, but it sounds like that's not what you're talking about. (I'm looking at Lemmy-UI at the moment. I use Jerboa on my phone, but it's honestly a little limited in a few ways, so I'd be surprised to find those settings in Jerboa.) Are you talking about the "send notifications to email" feature?

I'm not sure it's really possible to make votes private (at least not without sacrificing some functionality we have now.) Right now, instance admins can see vote information while non-admjns can't, which I do think is a bad thing. It does create a privileged class with additional information that ordinary users don't get. If there was a way to make votes private, I'd probably be ok with that, but again I'm not sure that's possible. (Instances have to be able to prevent double-/triple-/etc voting on a single post/comment by a single user. Maybe there's some cryptographic blind-signature wizardry that could be used to accomplish that while denying instance runners access to the information. I want to say I might have even come up with such an approach in a previous post and I might look back through my history for it, but it might also involve some concessions functionality-wise.) If that information has to be open to some, though, I think it should be open to all.

Aside from that, I like the upvote/downvote system as it is. It's simple works nicely. I honestly use "new"/"all" sort (excluding the communities I've blocked) nearly exclusively, so I don't have all that much invested in the "hot" sorting option that is the default probably on most Lemmy instances. But I like not having an algorithm (even one as good and fair as Lemmy's) curating my content for me.

Oh! On the sorting front, though, I'd love to have a "boost" option for specific communities. Like "hey Lemmy, no matter what sort I use, make sure any post that was made to [email protected] in the last 48 hours always appears right at the top of my feed." Like, new/all (excluding blocks) is great, but there are communities I don't want to miss even a single post in ever and it'd be awesome to have that.

Actually, now that I think of it, I could just only subscribe to those "don't want to miss a single post" communities and check new/subscribed before I start doomscrolling new/all.

I'll try to say this delicately enough to not get banned...

The modlog (which also contains the full text of my post) cites as the reason for the removal of my post "rule 1" which according to the sidebar is "Be civil and nice."

I think they consider any criticism of the government of Iran to be "incivility" and/or "meanness".

(Hopefully I'm not misinterpreting the mods here. Mods, please feel free to step in and correct any such misrepresentation.)

My grandmother was similarly god-like at the NES Dr. Mario.

I gave you an upvote.

I could see a case for using "working person" instead of "worker." It's definitely not the sort of thing that's agreed to be exploitative language (yet?) though.

What I do for sure bristle at a lot more is referring to people as "resources." Like, when planning a project, discussing how many "resources" can be "put on the project". Definitely feels dehumanizing.

They totally should have called it a "Notebook Brick". Just for the little bit of extra alliteration there.

No, that's a U.S. state in the north-west of the contiguous 48.

I've GM'd D&D 5e and Pathfinder 1e. My last campaign was in D&D 5e, but I... hope folks here know why I'm reticent to continue patronizing Hasbro. Anyway!

I wanted to get some of the core-est of the PF2e rulebooks. But... I'm confused. Looking for the PF2e "core, prime, base, main, starting" rulebook (the nearest equivalent of the PF1e "Core Rulebook" or the D&D 5e "Player's Handbook"), I've got at least the following options:

I think I don't want the "Core Rulebook". It sounds like it's just an older, more poorly-organized version of largely the same content that's in... one of the other options. It sounds like the "Player Core 2" in fact is not a newer edition of the "Player Core", but more of an "expansion" for whatever the core rules are (a bit like the PF1e "Advanced Player's Guide" maybe?) so I probably don't want that if I'm really just looking to get familiar with the core rules first.

So assuming the previous paragraph is mostly correct that leaves the "Player Core Remastered" and the "Player Core Pocket Edition". I... think the "Player Core Remastered" is hardback and... maybe only sold as part of a bundle like this one? The "Player Core Pocket Edition" appears to be only in paperback. Is the "Pocket Edition" not as "Remastered" as the "Remastered" version? (Does "Remastered" just mean it's a newer edition than the "Core Rulebook"?) Does the "Pocket Edition" have all the same content as "Remastered" or does "Pocket Edition" mean it's missing some of the content?

All of the above isn't even to mention digital vs dead-tree versions. But I'm specifically looking for physical copies for purposes of this post.

Welcome! (lemmy.world)
 

I've run across more than a few discussions about personality disorders here on Lemmy. There are already communities on Lemmy for two specific PDs (SzPD and BPD) but this community is for anyone who wants to engage on the broader topic of personality disorders in general, or wants to connect with and learn from those who live with different personality disorders or who have knowledge of personality disorders.

 

Do you suffer from a personality disorder, suspect you might, know someone who does, or simply wish to engage on the topic with others?

That's what [email protected] is for.

 

I'm writing a Lemmy bot. (No spoilers. I'll publish it one day.) To test it, I'm running a local Lemmy instance (via Docker) on a computer on my LAN and pointing my bot at it. That method works great, mostly. I can use Lemmy-UI just fine on my computer. I can also connect to that computer from a browser on my Android phone via http://192.168.1.199:1234/. I can also connect to Lemmy directly from my browser on my Android phone via http://192.168.1.199:8536/ and get a JSON payload (rather than an HTML page) with some information about the instance. So I'm certain I can connect to both Lemmy and Lemmy-UI from elsewhere on my LAN.

I also want to see exactly what posts made by my bot look like in Jerboa, but I haven't been able to figure out how to connect to it from Jerboa. On the "add account instance" interface, you can select an instance from the dropdown, but you can also type whatever you want into the dropdown field.

I've tried typing in:

  • 192.168.1.199
  • 192.168.1.199:1234 (Lemmy-UI is HTTP port 1234.)
  • 192.168.1.199:8536 (Lemmy is HTTP port 8536.)
  • http://192.168.1.199:1234/
  • http://192.168.1.199:8536/

(And, yeah, I figure port 1234 is probably not correct because probably Jerboa doesn't go through Lemmy-UI, but rather directly to Lemmy itself. But I figured I'd include those experiments here for completeness's sake.)

But I get the error message "Couldn't connect to the instance."

I'm running Jerboa 0.0.77 and Lemmy 0.19.8.

Thanks in advance!

This is for testing purposes, I promise.

 

I learned just recently that dbzer0 has a great piracy community that is blocked by lemmy.world . I'm not saying I'm looking to switch instances or anything, but it did get me wondering what else might be blocked by my instance that I wasn't previously aware of.

While we're at it, I'm curious what communities might notably be blocked on other instances as well. So we might as well just make this a question about what might be blocked by any particular instance, not just my instance.

So, what's blocked on some instances that folks might not have realized is blocked?

 

Coworker. I told him to fuck off with his conspiracy bullshit. But back when I patronized him, one thing he said was that he didn't consider belief a binary as in that you either believe something or don't. He viewed all beliefs as a continuum. You can believe one thing 10% and another thing 90%, but he wouldn't let me pin him down as to whether he "believed" any particular thing or not.

All while trying to convince me "tall white aliens" run the U.S. government and Sandy Hook was faked by a bunch of actors and the U.S. military had invisibility technology and planes that aren't dumping weather-controlling chemicals don't leave trails in the sky. Pretty standard QAnon-level bullshit. But if I asked him if he believed any of those things, he wouldn't answer. Honestly, it makes sense as a dishonest rhetorical tactic.

Dude also literally drinks borax in his juice cleanse drink.

 

Just as examples:

  • I've never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
  • I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn't realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
  • Oh, and I've never seen the "hawk tuah" video.
 

I think I like the flakes better, actually. I microwave-bake bread with onion in it daily and the flakes are nicer.

Minced? Pure madness. Let alone powder.
