Am I the only one that think the new bitcoincash community is full of bots?

Jump

  • I appreciate them clustering together on a single instance, much easier to block.

    • TIL: That from 1866 to 1984, Paris had a pneumatic tube postal service!

    Jump

  • This is so steampunk I love it

    • Anyone with a Reddit account? Message the moderators of r/politcs and r/news urging restrictions on Murdoch rags (ex Fox News and The New York Post)

    Jump

  • It's sort of built in. During initial setup a blocklist is downloaded which includes fox news, RT, brietbart and 3000 more fascist, conspiracy and misinfo sites. Admins can unblock anything but I assume they have not bothered.

  • FYI

    Fox News is banned from all PieFed instances and on https://piefed.social/ every post linking to nypost.com has a red warning symbol with a popup saying "very unreliable news source".

    • Australian influencer charged with poisoning baby for money

    Jump

  • She probably expected to get much more than $60k. But anyway a sociopath would totally poison a baby for $0.

    • Why do libraries define their own true and false?

    Jump

  • Yeah in the late 90's I was coding in C++ and I'm pretty sure I had to define true and false manually.

    • South Korea arrests impeached president

    Jump

  • I'd love to know how "stop the steal" got transplanted across the Pacific...

    • The case for down voting/anonymous social negativity to strangers

    Jump

  • That should have never been created.

    I agree.

    PieFed automatically stops accepting downvotes from accounts that downvote too often or who have a very negative karma. This stops the worst 3.7% of users.

  • I have an old gamer keyboard with extra programmable keys on the side, which I use for cut, copy, paste, close tab, close window, etc. Logitech provides drivers/software for Windows & Mac only.

    To make it work I have a custom monkey-patched USB driver that I compiled from source, some weird daemon that interacts with the driver and some shell scripts on top of that. I'm not sure how but it works thanks to a 9 year old youtube video made by a guy from eastern europe somewhere.

    • On Lemmy is it safe to create a community on a smaller scale when there are other communities already available of the same topic?

    Jump

  • FYI lemmy.world has over 6000 daily users, 15k monthly. You could roughly double that to estimate the amount for Lemmy as a whole.

    • my executive dysfunction might kill my dog

    Jump

  • I have a very tidy house yet my puppy is always finding stones and bark in the garden to chew on (despite having plenty of other toys). They love it, nothing you can do to stop it.

    • Since nothing in this community is about technology we might as well talk about science fiction.

    Jump

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

    • Meta Deletes Trans and Nonbinary Messenger Themes

    Jump

  • PieFed has a trans theme, btw

    • macOS Automator is really cool: Add a custom action that works in all apps (such as sort lines in selected text)

    Jump

  • AppleScript really is amazing and I'm surprised Apple doesn't publicize it more. There's nothing like it.

    • Anyone else here self-hosting on absolutely shit hardware?

    Jump

  • Have you looked into using zram?

    • 20 active communities which are not politics, news, memes or tech

    Jump

    • I am looking for a mini printer specifically designed for A5 size, does anyone know where i can find it? it will look similar to this but smaller

    Jump

  • Actually pretty close to how it was.

    People on the radio keep talking about this revolutionary information superhighway which sounds grand but no one you know has an internet connection but you read in the newspaper that in a town nearby there is one in a public library. You travel there and find a single computer. There are no instructions and none of the staff know how it works. When you ask to see "the internet" they show you an icon to click and leave you to it. You click it, strange noises happen for a bit then stop and nothing happens, the computer seems frozen. Maybe you broke it but then literally 10 minutes later it un-freezes and you see a list on the screen:

    • alt.binaries.mom
    • alt.binaries.misc
    • alt.binaries.warez
    • alt.binaries.etc
    • alt.binaries.warez.flightsim
    • and so on, hundreds of them
    • comp.lang.c
    • comp.lang.perl
    • comp.lang.prolog
    • blah blah gibberish

    Ok none of that sounds like an "information superhighway" so close the window and go back home.

    • How am i supposed to learn C# ?

    Jump

  • For bash, there is Linux, a shit ton of distros, even BSD, MacOS and Solaris uses it. For python, there are games and qtile window manager. For C, there is dwm. I don't know anything like these for C#, except Codingame

    It seems like you find an environment that requires the language and then kinda sink-or-swim? If so then yes, your whole approach is wrong. You need a process with a lot more structure. Get a Udemy course or a book from the library.
