I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
It made me happy to read that, thank you for writing it. Especially this part:
But my father taught me, and I bet yours did too, you don’t do the right thing because it guarantees the right outcome. You do it so you can look in the mirror at the end of the day. Thanks for helping me look in the mirror.
Welcome to lemmy.ca, please let us know if there’s anything we can help with 😊
338 posts updates every Sunday, I’m looking forward to seeing that one
I can also see some people being opposed to them spending the donation money on ads, since they’d be giving money to companies that may be in opposition to what we’re doing here (or ideological reasons around the advertising industry in general).
Maybe if there was a separate pool of donations specifically for advertising, then people who want to support that can donate to it? Those who don’t can still donate to the projects themselves
Thanks!
I think it’s still helpful for people that primarily use the subscribed feed, in case they are subscribed to !linux@lemmy.ml, but not !privacy@lemmy.ml
😬
Could be worth sharing this around so more people are aware of it. !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !opensource@programming.dev maybe? I can cross post it myself, but I’m not as familiar with the topic to respond to comments/questions
It’s not currently there, but it’s on our list of things to look into when we revisit our donation options.
Recently another user checked in about Librepay, and I asked for more thoughts. If you have any additional points, we’d appreciate them! I’ll copy them into our notes alongside the previous comments
only proprietary, ad-infested client
There are a handful of them, Sync and Boost have ads / ad-free versions and Connect was closed but without ads from what I remember. I’m not familiar with the rest of the closed source ones
I keep Voyager installed as the FOSS alternative, and then the rest I add and remove every now and then to try out.
Boost and Sync are popular because people coming from Reddit have used them for years, and are familiar with the interface / dev. If it helps them get familiar with the fediverse then I’m all for it
Wow nice one!
It might be a one night event this time, since it’s lunar eclipse related.
For me, the cool thing was watching the moon slowly get consumed. I’m looking forward to seeing some high quality time lapses
Could we have a recurring thread like this? It helps to keep the community lively, and would allow for fresh news / updates
You could use a tool like this, or post manually?
Just saw the other post, deleting this one
If anyone manages to get a good photo, please make a post!
Here and/or pixelfed 😊
Thanks! Added it to the social/culture section
Thanks! Deleted this one
Not sure why that’s happening, it’s happened a few times recently. Sometimes the second post doesn’t show up in the feed, but it is still accessible under the different URL
Depending on what restrictions you have, you could try VSCode? That’s what students were told to do at my university for remote C / C++ development off the school’s servers

I’m not familiar with the others, but for vscode

Ah, good to know
Kichae did a good job of explaining some of the limitations, and I also agree with you that there’s more we can do for user-friendliness while still respecting decentralization.
One of the things we’ve done is put together the guides above, which I’m hoping can help reduce confusion on how this new platform works and what the differences / benefits are. If they DO help, then one solution could be to share the guides around and hope that it acts as the first introduction for people. There are a lot of confusing resources out there (ex. that infographic that gets posted around), so I’m hoping that over time we can improve these guides over time to be as helpful as possible.
We’d love some feedback on the guides if you have a chance to go through them! In particular, these seem relevant to the areas you were confused about:
In addition, if you have any thoughts on the order of the guide pages and areas that are still confusing
The Lemmy software itself is also open-source, and there’s often discussion about what can be improved. Similarly, there are a few other Lemmy compatible projects in the works that are doing things slightly differently, such as Piefed and Mbin. As you get settled in and familiar with things, these communities might be of interest to you:
Welcome to lemmy.ca / the fediverse 😊
There’s actually no harm in commenting on communities from another instance!
Often there will be one large community for each topic, on some random instance, rather than individual communities on every instance. The diagrams on this doc might help to see how it works: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview
It is possible that a community is intended for a certain group of people, and ideally the community name will indicate that. If not, you can open up the community and check the sidebar. For example, !medicine@lemmy.ca is named ‘Medicine Canada’, and it is intended for Canadian medical professionals / Canadian medical news, while !medicine@mander.xyz is named ‘Medicine’, and it is the general community for the topic.
We didn’t have to make ‘Medicine Canada’ on lemmy.ca, and in fact, there are many non-Canadian communities on lemmy.ca. It all comes down to what the community mods want the community to be about. The instance is just where they chose to set up shop.
In your case, the sidebar at !aliexpress@programming.dev says:
An unofficial English-speaking channel for discussing Aliexpress and Alibaba, interesting products you find, asking for product recommendations, and any scams by the sellers.
When in doubt, just check the community sidebar :)
Odd, this one got unpinned as well. Just fixed it
Maybe I should make a list of posts to check on every once in a while, until the issue gets fixed
[no major spoilers in this comment]
I asked two separate friends in the medical field for what they thought of the show, and both of them started with saying that the character is annoying 😄
I think that’s the goal, since there ARE people like that in the field that are difficult to work with. It also gives her room to grow and be ‘humbled’ through the course of the show.
