Thanks for the info! I might brave it if weather holds up then.

What's the best Matrix client? (sh.itjust.works)

I've never used Matrix, and I'm overwhelmed at all the options and feature criteria on the project website.

I'd prefer a native app over electron/similar, but ideally would like something that works on most desktop platforms (windows, mac, linux), although I'm open to it if it is truly superior.

I've been wanting to do this but the bridge being down and the cold have stopped me! Did you just do it as an out and back?

The title doesn't do it justice; A history of the creation of competitive selective enrollment at educational institutions (not limited to the Ivies), and a discussion of its impacts on American society, as well as a consideration of possible alternatives.

Nope, 25 gb is just english language wikipedia compressed, no images. All the other languages are smaller.

Lol, I probably should have said "legacy". Would hope no one is writing new SOAP APIs in 2024!

How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy? by macroplastic in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

A few niche examples:

/r/generative /r/musicians /r/wildernessbackpacking /r/tropicalweather /r/analogcommunity /r/heavymind

Good luck convincing the non-technical users there to come here. This place is currently great for interests catered to programmers and sysadmins (speaking as one!), but artist and hobby communities are seriously lacking.

SOAP, which is basically dead, or GraphQL.

Tankies: A Data-driven Understanding of Left-Wing Extremists on Reddit by macroplastic in c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

They did not categorize anarcho-capitalism as far left, it is merely mentioned as part of the diagram of subreddits of varying ideologies. In fact if you actually read the chart in Figure 3, you would see it is firmly categorized along with other right wing ideologies.
