  • Sure. The vehicle will under report speed and driven mileage with larger wheels and tires, and over report both with smaller wheels than tires. I'm not if it's possible to adjust the speedometer and odometer, or if people even bother.

  • I don't know anything about loops but I use mastodon fairly regularly. Mastodon only has like two basic algorithms: your main feed shows the individual posts of everyone you follow or which contain hashtags you follow. Then there's another page that will also show you the top posts of the day - I believe that goes by the posts which received the most "boosts" although I've seen some people say that it may take into account the number of "favorites" the post receives. It's a fairly different concept from Lemmy.

    I'm hoping that the Fediverse thrives, even at a smaller scale. I'm so done with major corporate social media. Speaking of which, tomorrow is being called a day to switch from the corporate ones to the independent ones, like Reddit -> Lemmy, Twitter -> Mastodon, Instagram -> Pixelfed, etc.

  • For sure, I think that this is a good evaluation of the situation. Different instances have different cultures and I wish more people would come to that realization and act accordingly. I think that this has been one of the stumbling blocks of federated group discussions like Lemmy so far.

  • I feel that this one is slightly pedantic because, strictly speaking, "the proof is in the pudding" is also technically correct. After all, the proof of the pudding is in the pudding. Yes, the more correct form is much more clear as to what it means, but that doesn't invalidate the mis-phrasing.

  • Hmmm, I don't know. Maybe if you could first prove that it was political misinformation. While yes, there is way too much actual political mis/disinformation online nowadays, I also see on a daily basis people online claiming this when it's really not. In other words, throwing the baby out with the bath water.

  • I think this thread is evidence that there are enough people for this. The problem for niche communities on Lemmy is still the front page feed algorithms, none of which appear to properly surface interesting posts from your less active subscribed communities. This is not a criticism on Lemmy's developers, who I am very thankful to for developing it. I think it must just be a difficult algorithm to get right.

  • Just like “voila” you might think is said the French way, like it’s spelled, but a lot of English speakers say “walla”.

    Ugh, I can't agree with this one. I think a lot of English speakers say "walla" because they think it's spelled "walla".

  • While the second one is somewhat correct, they don't mean the same thing.

    "The weather can affect your mood." -> The weather can change your mood, i.e., you had one mood before, and another mood after the weather affected it.

    "The weather can effect your mood." -> The weather can bring your mood into being, i.e., you had no mood before, but you had one after the weather effected it.
