20 year nostalgia cycle - 🥹
Something that I have ran into is the mono runtime for gaming, it has many complicated dependinces which can easily conflict with the main system. I just ended up making full containers for older mono versions to get old games to work anyways.
Pixelfed just implemented an instagram import feature as well!
Havent heard of exploding-heads, I guess thats a good thing?
Hot is currently broken, fixes have been written and are in the process of being incorpated into lemmy.
This is now going to end up costing them more money cause they’ll have to police the usage of thier api with all these exceptions lol
Not that I have seen. Fortunately the API is open and documented here. There seems to exist a typescript bot framework, but I havent seen it in the wild.
there aren’t that many kbin instances out there
This is also due to its age, its only 2 years old and only just recently gained more than 1 contributor to its codebase. When the reddit migration started about 2 weeks ago, kbin considered itself still in alpha; with lemmy in beta. As the software matures, more instances will pop-up as admins gain confidence in it.
Both kbin and lemmy utilize parts of the activitypub protocol - a generic way for different social media sites to talk to one another - to make a reddit-like functionality. This means that regardless of whether you are on a server which uses lemmy or kbin, they can access and use each other. The only real difference for users is going to be the UI and that kbin has also used activitypub to give its users some dedicated mircoblogging capabilities (think mastodon). My advice is: if you are only interested in a reddit-like experience then use the one with the UI and community you perfer, but if you want an all-in-one account (and are okay with the added complexity that comes with) kbin is closer to what you want.
Out of the handful of good things CNN did, demonstrating the failure of libertarianism and getting r/jailbait banned is near the top.
Yeah, in the lemmy source code they are called “Communities”; in the kbin source code they are called “Magazines”; I think Mastodon uses the ActivityPub lexicon and also uses “Groups” in it’s source code. I perfer “Communities” because that is how the “Groups” are being used.
Currently using Nobara OS and Vanilla OS. I really like Nobara because Fedora is a well supported OS (Thanks RHEL) and Nobara made setting up fedora really easy on my AMD CPU/ Nvida GPU. The only other ones which I liked as far as the out-of-the-box experience was: Endeavor OS for Arch-based and Zorin OS for Ubuntu-based. I appreciate Vanilla OS, and while they are pitching it as something for beginners; it is absolutely not. You need to understand at a basic level the relationship between containers and the host system, apx is a beautiful piece of software which makes containers incredibly easy to use, but you still need have a basic understanding. You also need to know when to interface with the host system, e.g installing gnome-tweaks. You also need to know when the default Ubuntu container isn’t the best container to use. That said, the transaction system for manipulating the two root directories and most software being siloed off in containers ensures that the shitty laptop I am using hasn’t ran into the many issues I have had in the past with it breaking updates randomly.
Does anyone know of a person tracking these updates for both open source art generators and LLMs? Like I am following a few people and they are all just lists of the corprate made tools being built on top of these things.
It seems simliar to how reddit handles it where the comments just get a flag attached to them and the text is still stored. There was some hubbaloo about it a few years ago where people were saying to edit your comments first on reddit before deleting them
I am not sure where it is documented, but from my own experience: 256x256; webp; and square
That delay is from your instance and the instance you searched for exchanging information and syncing its database. You can actually see this in action if you have the “all” tab on your instances homepage open while you do the search.
Oh, yeah I guess that would be an instance admin thing cause mine has a whole bunch in that settings box. Let them know that “undetermined” needs to be included as an selectable language.
On the web interface, go to your account settings and out of all the languages selected; ensure that “undefined” is one of them. You can select multiple languages by holding down the “control” key and clicking. For example, right now I have both “english” and “undefined” as the languages I use.
Searching for it in the search bar from within your instance is usually enough (the very first time it may not work show up as everything gets synced). If you want to ensure it shows up on every instance than yes you will need to make an account on every single instance and follow. Generally though, as more people start subscribing and searching; this will naturally happen.
Honestly, lemmy and the fediverse as a whole will have natural growth and thats fine - mastodon has been around for like 8 years and is only recently getting a small amount of attention and mainstream usage. Like take the long view - like the really long view like 15 years from now. It’ll probably be huge, but until then we will just share memes and have a good time discussing stuff.
