This is true, and we wouldn't want to keep a bad actor around just because the election is over. I'll change the wording to add 'minimum'

We're also working on updated guidelines, so there will be a bigger call for feedback like this once we have that together. Those guidelines will apply site wide and across the different platforms (pixelfed.ca for example). How we deal with misinformation is an important area that we want to get right

So while this isn't the cause in your case, it is possible to sticky things to the main feed. It's done by admins, and for example lemmy.ca has a welcome post stickied right now:

I think it's a federation bug. That post is on https://community.nodebb.org/, which isn't a Lemmy instance but actually a different software.

Which in itself is cool! There are a few projects being worked on right now to make traditional forums compatible with activity pub. The idea being that someday you'll be able to follow and post in official support forums for things right from your Lemmy account.

But right now, it might be causing some weird federation bug. Maybe the date of the post shows up to Lemmy as sometime in the future and so it's always the "newest" post (or something similar)?

No decisions have been made on that yet, and I'm happy to discuss more about it :)

Right now, I think a rule like that might be too broad. A big part of this election is about what's going on outside of Canada, so I can see us having to make exceptions for important news that hasn't been covered by a local news organization yet. I'd prefer to set some basic rules that we can follow consistently, and deal with problem posts if/when they get posted. Misleading and inaccurate headlines would still be removed under this rule

A China-linked advanced threat group named Weaver Ant spent more than four years in the network of a telecommunications services provider, hiding traffic and infrastructure with the help of compromised Zyxel CPE routers.

Welcome!

Still mostly hanging out at Reddit but I see the writing on the wall and am trying to at the very least diversify, and hopefully make a full switch soon

This is true for a lot of the new users, despite what the memes may suggest 😄

Is there a particular community on reddit that you'd like to see more of on here?

Some brainstorming from me:

• Ideally people do not buy more teslas
• An initial goal would be to use the vehicle without it phoning home. Would the TeslaMate project be sufficient for that?
• Long term, would it be possible to replace the software running on the car's console? Or would it be better to tear out the console and replace it with something else?

Alternatively, what would a recycling/conversion program look like?

Ok yep, I have the display issue as well. Interestingly, it only affects some of the equations. I'll take a better look this evening

Can you link the article so that others can take a look?

Gmail's search and filters have been annoying for some time now. This feels like an overpowered bandaid to that problem

Manually downloading HTML posts would be more difficult, but it might be possible by parsing the data export you can download from Facebook

It's nice to see the word of mouth working, I've seen a lot of mentions recently of people being recommended here by friends and family members

I should have specified, people we're downvoting you

But looks like the score is positive again 🙂

I've heard Kobo is better than the other big players when it comes to interoperability with open formats / self hosted setups.

As for the servers

Also (to everyone else reading your comment) let's not downvote good faith comments, especially when they're phrased as a question and wanting to learn more

Makes me think of Original Position / veil of ignorance

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_position

The original position (OP), often referred to as the veil of ignorance, is a thought experiment often associated with the works of American philosopher John Rawls. In the original position, one is asked to consider which principles they would select for the basic structure of society, but they must select as if they had no knowledge ahead of time what position they would end up having in that society. This choice is made from behind a "veil of ignorance", which prevents them from knowing their ethnicity, social status, gender, and (crucially in Rawls's formulation) their or anyone else's ideas of how to lead a good life. Ideally, this would force participants to select principles impartially and rationally.

With that in mind, I LOVE how lean and fast some FOSS apps/projects are. One of my motivations to go searching for FOSS alternatives is when something seems slow for no reason.

It's not always the case, but it's often the case

Solid food photography as well!
