Even within Reddit communities, a lot of posts ended up in multiple places, and the 'crossposting' function seemed off to me, because everyone voted on and commented in different places.

I wonder if a 'tag' system wouldn't work better, where a post shows up under multiple hashtags. This way, a picture could go under '#sea #thalassophobia #submarines #pictures' all at once.

If everyone votes on the same post, posts would receive negative attention for inappropriate tags (I'm assuming that people would downvotes pictures of cats which had the #dogs hashtag).

I've used ani-cli a few months ago, and it worked then.

Why so many apps just for watching anime?

You can sell accounts?

How on earth would you do that anyway? Do I go onto Amazon, or just my local fruit market?

I don't think there's much need to repost between communities. Click on the main page, and you can see "| Subscribed | Local | All |", and in 'all' you'll be able to see other Lemmy instances and interact with those communities without making an account there.

I'm not sure if you can make posts on another instance though...

I should clarify that there's no karma, because there are very few users. Once there are more people, some users will try to make a bot which farms karma, for the usual reasons.

Reposting definitely serves some useful function, but too much reposting from Reddit will just make Lemmy feel like a cheap knock-off. At this early stage, I feel like new content and chat works better, but that's just an intuition.

Why make a repost in the first place? Karma? Influence? You'll find neither in this dark, empty, wasteland.

But it'll pick up on Monday, and I'm sure we'll be swarming with more bots than you can shake a Turing test at before long.

Cheers - maybe Gitlab updated how links to content work?

It's updated now. It's a rewrite of the free Dark Ages rules from White Wolf, with classic White Wolf backgrounds, and LaTeX as the typesetter.

The make file also has options to make modern rules (replacing 'Ride' with 'Drive', et c.), and another toggle to include the vampire rules.

It has house rules in chapters 3 and 5, but there's an original branch without the house rules in case anyone wants to add different changes.

Yea, I have no idea why people are even attempting this nonsense. Perhaps they think that 'computers are magic', because it's quite clear that nobody would try to verify someone's age when it comes to posting images through snail-mail.

Of course if they wanted to give it a proper go, maybe someone could make a real age test:

  • which of the following is more irritating:
    • Gorillaz
    • S Club 7
    • N-Sync
  • how much do nappies cost per month?
  • which instrument do you use with a casette?
    • screw-driver
    • VHS player
    • bic
  • which type of phone was most popular in 1995?
    • Nokia
    • Rotary
    • Chordless

I just mean the package on Void.

xbps-query --show kdenlive

The maintainer is listed as 'orphaned', i.e. it has no maintainer. So void doesn't have the latest version.

Arch.

I once ran Ubuntu, but the install instructions for so many programs are 'import this key', 'add these dependencies', and the system quickly became a mess. I had install scripts to install and uninstall some things, but it was too much for me to take care of.

Eventually I found that if you want the latest terragrunt and i3, Arch Linux is easier than Ubuntu.

I'll add that most people think Noah took two of each animal onto the ark. It was seven of the male and female of the clean animals, and two of the male and the female of the unclean animals.

I'll have a gander. People often add a README.md file which explains how to build the project. How do you make the pdfs? What are the gem files for?

 

I have files marked with a line like this:

date: 2021-01-01

I've been usinng Solderpunk's RSS feed generator so far.

=> https://tildegit.org/solderpunk/gemfeed.git Link

But it only does date by file creation date, which doesn't work for me.

Any gemini RSS feed generators where the date can be drawn from a variable?

 

Just wanted to share my workflow.

I got a Markdown to Gemini translator at idiomdrottning. A script then uses git subtree to pull those commits in from repos which just have writing.

The main bonus is that the Markdown can have a paragraph split into different lines, which works easier with git.

The end result is I can write in plain markdow, and it'll automatically be presented both in the Gemini capsule, and then on the website, which uses Hugo to render markdown into html.

Since Hugo already uses tags for topics, I got Gemini to recognize those tags. It's made the capsule a little cleaner, since the posts are no longer jumping between Ayer's Logical Positivism and Terminal APIs.

I've ended up adding writing pieces Gemini that I wouldn't put on the web. I'm not entirely sure why - I guess it just feels like it's public, but not too public.

=> Bash script

=> Site

 

Port 1965 is only going to one place, so how can I make sure it's going to the right place?

I currently have agate running on a raspberry pi with Arch Linux Arm running agate for the first site.

 

The 'gemini universal search' hasn't been updated since December.

Post your new/ updated Gemini sites.

 

Sorry about the last post - I pasted from the wrong clipboard.

Anyway - RPG mechanics for exploration, is that a thing?

 

BIND is an open source RPG written in LaTeX, so anyone can hack on it, add things, or rewrite the system.

(BIND stands for 'BIND is not D&D')

There's a full wiki explaining the commands.

It's designed so writing adventures is easier with the LaTeX commands. Just write \goblin and a random goblin is summoned onto the pdf, with all the stats worked out.

Currently there's an introduction adventure in the works, so if you have any idea what kinds of traps gnomes might make, or have any ideas on negotiating with a dragon, fork the book and give me a pull request.
