As always, love your work. Tess is my daily driver for lemmy

There is, by forking lemmy and removing it. We already do that anyway, so we'll look in to seeing what we can do.

In the mean time, we offer a bunch of other frontends aside from the default lemmy UI, and they will all bypass this problem

No, he was not unbanned, and he won't be unless a genuine walkback of his previous stance is made

To me at least, "ignore" implies a server level block of some kind that would be consistent across clients.

Where are you seeing that? I can't find it in the WebUI

Would like to end up in Argentina or Uruguay though!

That would be a pretty useful feature for a lot of people, especially if you could apply it to a community level. I know lots of people block meme communities etc, but having an option to auto collapse/hide them, but still access them if needed would make things easier for many folk

The best help you can give someone in distress is hearing them, whilst you redirect them to a place that can help with empathy and compassion.

Any form of automated message comes across as the exact opposite of empathy and compassion.

In addition, speaking as the admin of a trans and queer community, I don't have any special tools or abilities to help people. Sending the report to me doesn't let me help them, because they're almost certainly not in my country, and I don't have any special access that enables me to contact them or reach out to them. The tool I do have, is the instance itself that we host, that allows people to connect with their community and their peers, that allows them to struggle, and that shuts down anyone who would try and add to the hurt of someone on the edge.

Which is to say, I don't think a reddit style feature has a place here. It will let people think they're helping, without actually doing so, as well as providing a new vector for abuse (though that would be less of an issue than on reddit). In theory, an automated list of resources that could be called on could be useful, but again, if someone is struggling, they need to feel heard, and automated replies can come across as dispassionate and uncaring.

She makes money from the popularity of her IP, whether or not she makes money from any individual title. The success of that game makes her money, because it tells studios that it is profitable to make Potter content, and that will make her money.

So no, do not purchase her stuff, because she will explicitly use her profits from her IP to actively target and hurt trans folk.

This isn't hypothetical. It's not multiple steps removed. It's not "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism". This is someone who is explicitly using her money to hurt vulnerable people, so you do not give her more money or encourage others to.

Ever.

Thank you! I'll be watching with great interest! Lots of potential :)

Ok, fixed. Our spam protection was interfering with it.

Thanks. Kaity will look in to it and see what's going on

 

This is what Toombul looks like now!

Round the Bays (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I arrived in Wellington yesterday, and at parkrun I discovered Round the Bays is on on the next day (now today). So I signed up for my first ever international race, with zero prep. It starts in 90 minutes. What could go wrong? :p

A turkey in a tree! This guy was settling in for the night as I came along with my camera

Thanks to our amazing @supakaity, we are now running lemmy 0.19.8!

We now also have a Tesseract front end that you can use to access blahaj lemmy at https://tes.lemmy.blahaj.zone/. Just login with your regular lemmy login

 

The current mods are long term inactive. I'm looking for one or two new mods to take over the community. Bonus points if you have a blåhaj account.

For those who don't want to follow the existing 196 community move, some community members have made an alternative community on blahaj.zone

I am not directly involved in the new community, but I'm happy to share it for those looking for a blahaj based alternative.

Red-browed Finch (Neochmia temporalis)

Archerfield Wetlands, Queensland, Australia - June 2024

Image description: A small olive-green and grey finch with a red stripe across its brow sits on a branch of a small, scrubby and leafless plant, surrounded by branches and seedpods. Two other finches are partially visible, obscured by the branches

 

I'm seeing weird results with my heart rate strap. My ground contact time is really low, but my vertical oscillation is really high! One indicates good form, the other indicates bad form. My subjective experience is that my vertical oscillation is low, but my garmin disagrees.

And I think the reason why is the movement of my breasts. I think they're moving the sensor itself, and confusing its measurements.

Is that actually a thing? I've tried to find research or people talking about it, but all I can find is discussion on the impact of breasts on actual running performance, rather than on the measurement of it.
