lol, yeah, that felt very appropriate 😛
I love this wild west phase of the Fediverse! Feels like the good ole days of the Internet. Onwards!

Thank you for your kind words, my friend. It is an honor to be welcomed to your home, this beautiful land. I hope tomorrow brings more unity and kindness, and I will do my best to do my part to make that happen.
Happy Canada Day! Thank you for this beautiful post, it made me tear up a bit. I’ve made Canada my adopted home 14 years ago, and not a day goes by when I don’t thank my fucking stars.

Sure, grandpa/grandma, time for your medicine.
Not to mention the benefits of versioning and being able to rollback! There’s something so satisfying about a well set-up CI/CD pipeline.
Don’t shoot the meow 🙀
Is that Wonderwall?
Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal
I don’t think it’s actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.
Added .webm support to the image viewer and image peek
This, along with the other image viewer fixes is a massive quality of life upgrade! 🙌

This is why Lemmy needs to keep tweaking it’s feed algorithm. I understand why many people rightly have a distaste of social media algorithm fuckery, but Lemmy doesn’t have some of the same bad incentives that an ad driven site like Reddit or twitter might have. A better algorithm will help Lemmy grow and surface interesting posts organically.
The recent feed change to boost smaller communities in 0.19 is a good start, and not showing too many posts in a row from the same community will be another welcome change.
Also on Reddit being a poweruser meant that you could probably sell/loan your account to shady advertisers, which isn’t as much of a problem here since the Fediverse isn’t monetized by ads.
Additionally, I think power users are a problem if they’re just blindly spamming posts without engaging with the community, not so much if they’re just organically filling the void with posts.
I <3 lemmy’s prolific posters. o7
That is actually an excellent point! I’m imagining a Lydia from Skyrim who would actually comment on your actual quest progression without just resorting to canned responses.
While I’m sure there will be a lot of false starts with this tech and it will take a while to iron out the kinks, I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time. This will probably be similar to the switch from small, limited world maps in games to expansive open-worlds. It’s going to be a massive boost to immersion and will probably lead to some hilarious bugs/unexpected behaviours. Can’t wait!
Wait, if it’s double-blind, wouldn’t the scientists be unaware of whether he got a placebo or the real drug? Although I suppose this could be after the study has concluded. I would bet that in real studies they record the side effects reported before checking to see if it was the placebo or not!
Neat, the customization does help make it look a lot better than the defaults. I wonder why they didn’t just make this the new UI.
I did not know that, I’ll check out the other options, thanks!
