Sure, thanks for pointing this out. I have replaced it with a picture of the logo from the framework github.

The down the rabbit hole youtube channel is really great for mildly obscure interesting topics.

They have announced it will be available for the US now too: https://lemmy.world/post/1062252

The views on lemmygrad are very much outside the general acceptable norms for the English speaking internet.

Even if you agree with their views, you must admit that it is very off putting for most people who come to Lemmy.ml.

I think the purpose of a default instance should be to showcase the software, not to showcase the current community (which is dominated by lemmygrad users right now)…

I think either:

1. We should have a new default instance.
2. Have no default instance.
3. Lemmy.ml should stop federating with lemmygrad.

Personally I have been using and promoting Lemmy less because I find the lemmygrad content off putting. I feel a similar way about this content as I did about place like r/thedonald in 2016.

• Find people on your course that can help you and that you can help. Teaching something you know to classmates helps you learn. There is a saying “one teach, two learn” and it is true.
• Try to review the content of a lecture before attending the lecture. Even if it is a fast 5 minute skim of the material it will help you
• Try to get an overview of the course at the start, again a quick skim might take an hour or so, but the content will be more familiar when you get around to it.
• For maths and science Khan academy is really useful.
• There is a short course on Coursera called ‘Learning how to learn’ that includes some of the above points, it is worth checking out.

Reddit is really good for hobby/niche content. Reddit communities have become the largest online communities for quiet a few different interests where previously the largest communities would be independent forums.

It would be great if some forums decided to use Lemmy. I guess there are barriers to this, e.g. user interface changes might not be wanted and it might be difficult to export/import the forum history.

The only way to stop an illness with a gun is a doctor with a gun

It looks like r/roms has also decided to use Lemmy as a fallback

yeah lol

Let’s hope it was a small and weak bug that can help security harden the system as a whole!

Not using a seatbelt will still increase the chance that you are injured. This will put a burden on society.

Asking your estate to pay is useless if you have no money, insurance claims can reach the millions which most people can not afford. Pedestrians and cyclists aren’t and should not need to be insured.

If you don’t wear seatbelts you can hurt other people in the car.

If you don’t have vehicle insurance and you injur someone they won’t have any payout on top of being injured.

Why do you hate Twitter screenshots?

I think it is broadly ok if your investment doesn’t exploit others.

This could be investing in something a community can share like:

• FOSS projects
• Community gardens
• Food banks
• Non profit orgs

However, like other people have said it is practical to invest in some things for yourself:

• an emergency fund
• Land you can live on (to protect against unpredictable rents)
• even some stock and cryptocurrency is acceptable to some degree (imo) as in many countries large savings are required for old age.

I wish it was.

It might be a good idea for journalists and other targeted people to have multiple burner phones for different activities.

That way if your personal device is infected itnisnkess likely to compromise your human rights work.

You would probably want to turn off any phone you are not using as they are able to access the camera and mic.

I wonder if this is the chip that the valve handheld will use.

I don’t think they are just for show. There are differences in which policies each party try to pass. The GOP is clearly fascist. The democratic party are clearly not fascist.

I don’t really agree that Brave should not be used because of a toxic fanbase.

I think the best reason not to use Brave is that they are a marketing/advertising company that claims to give their users privacy. Advertising companies will always have an incentive to invade privacy as it increase add revenues. Brave is just copying Google’s business model with extra steps.

I still use reddit as it has content lemmy doesn’t.

But yeah I think there is a lot of bots/shills that manipulate the conversation on reddit that doesn’t really happen on lemmy. This will happen on lemmy too if it gets big enough.

Federation is also cool. If lemmy does end up full of bots/shills then someone could make a new instance with some new rules that help to reduce the number of bots (e.g. answer some questions about a post to comment or something).
