Howdy folks! This week I'll be looking at the setup some lemmy bots to support the community as we start getting into games and news. First thing will be auto game threads. Second would be a sidebar updater with standings and upcoming games. Are there any other regular posts that we should consider posting here as a matter of course? Weekly pinned general threads? Any thoughts?
My boomer mom is all up in her suburban town councils business because she's afraid there is going to be a "marijuana shop" that goes in across the highway from her neighborhood in the strip mall that's being developed.
Anti-drug propaganda really did a number on that generation
My only comments here are:
Of course the Republicans are trying to get out of the consequences for their actions based on a technicality. Entirely on brand.
Actions...meet consequences. Consequences, actions. Nice to get you two together for once.
In the country's defense, those assholes literally ran the government from the highest level for 4 years and ~~gave up power~~ were forced to give up power after their term ended. We have a pretty robust system. I am concerned that so many people are so stupid to be hoodwinked by him and his ilk, but the system was built to withstand this type of shit...at least for a single time.
Meanwhile Biden and democrats have been out there with things like the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Bill actually helping Americans. If you think that the government isn't capable of doing positive or good for it's people anymore, you haven't been paying attention. It may not be sweeping, and only barely enacted, but a lot of good has been done recently.
Corporations are people my friend
Open, so that the air that gets pumped into my room can tell the Mr. Thermostat in the hall that it's actually fine in there and they don't need to call Mr. Furnace or Mrs. A/C.
Just wanted to put it out there, if you're looking for something to do and enjoy a game of chess, there's the Eugene Chess Club that meets at Bill & Tim's at 6pm on most Tuesdays. Guy who runs it, David, is really chill and it's an enjoyable time with people playing casual games and having a good time. Some are really good, but many, like myself, are middling at best. If you're worried about not being good enough, don't, just come and check it out since there are players of all skills there.
Bill and Tim's on 13th/Pearl @ 6pm
Also, hit me up if you want to play a game on lichess :D
Every time I see these I see these climate change related issues (which is now multiple times a day), I get the same sinking feeling in my stomach like I'm behind on work and don't have enough time to do it and I'll soon be in trouble for letting things get too far behind. That feeling keeps me up, causes me stress, and is generally not a comfortable way to live. This just fucking sucks.
7/23/23 evening update: The Bedrock Fire continues to be active in the Fall Creek area on the Middle Fork District. An updated acreage will be available tomorrow. The fire burned actively today and firefighters from the Oregon Department of Forestry and US Forest Service continued to engage in full suppression efforts and point protection on buildings on private land.
Resources continued to arrive throughout the day and more will be on the scene tomorrow. While there are no evacuation notices in effect at this time, the public is asked to avoid Big Fall Creek Rd. to allow emergency personnel necessary access for suppression.
Several campgrounds along Big Fall Creek Rd. are closed due to fire activity. This includes all campgrounds along Fall Creek Road, and surrounding roads. Smoke may be visible from Highway 58, the towns of Lowell, Jasper, and the McKenzie River corridor.
Yeah, completely killing Reddit was never in the cards in all honesty. Creating legit competition is good for everyone and this is definitely an awesome place already.
The issue: You find a link to a neat lemmy community on some random instance. In order to subscribe, you have go to your instance, search for the community, find it, open it, subscribe...blah!
The fix: Use a simple browser bookmark to go to your home instance and open the federated community in one click.
This works through modifying the URL of the page your on and puts the host name (e.g. lemmy.ml) after an "@" symbol after the community and then changing the host name to your own, hard-coded one.
How to steps:
Create a bookmark in your browser and then "Edit" it.
Change the URL to this text (modify the "lemmy.world" bit with whatever your home instance is):
For lemmy.world users:
javascript:(function(){location.href="https://lemmy.world/c/"+location.href.match(/(?:.*)\/c\/(.*(?=\/)|.*$)/i)[1]+"@"+location.host.toString();})();
For lemmy.ml users:
javascript:(function(){location.href="https://lemmy.ml/c/"+location.href.match(/(?:.*)\/c\/(.*(?=\/)|.*$)/i)[1]+"@"+location.host.toString();})();
Change the name of the bookmark to whatever you want. Mine is named "lemmy.world".
Now, from any federated community main feed page, click on the bookmark and you'll magically be taken to the same community on your local instance. Magic!
Disclaimers: The community must be federated with your instance. You can only do this from a URL that has the community in url (e.g. not from a post or anything).
The only issue I have with this is that they call it a "documentary." It's a special or deep dive, sure. Documentary is a stretch.
You can create multiple accounts, but shouldn't have to as long as the two instances aren't bad actors. I think this stance is short sighted and lazy from beehaw.org admins. I expect those communities there to migrate to another instance as the dominant community for the topic.
That's their prerogative, but it just means I won't be interacting with communities on beehaw. What's to say they won't defederate from the instance I choose for my 2nd or 3rd account in the future?
This is being worked on on the Jerboa github. Sounds like it'll be addressed or at least mostly addressed in the next release.
Lol yeah!. Default should be "all" imo. Also, the default sort would be "hot".
Smart. Flush money down the toilet trying to impersonate Trump by not paying your bills. Maybe he should run for president.
