Why do RSS feeds for some Lemmy instances behave differently? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by thru_dangers_untold@lemmy.ml to c/rss@lemmy.ml

I use Inoreader and I've noticed that the RSS feed for lemmy.ml has proper thumbnails/previews for images while the lemmy.world feed doesn't show any images (just links for the posted images). I contacted Inoreader to see if the problem was on their end. I received the following feedback:

Actually, we've already checked that, but unfortunately, we couldn't improve the image preview for the exmapled feeds. The thing is that the provided links to these images are not properly presented in the feed source, which is causing that. We suggest you address this with the feed publishers.

What settings need to be changed so that the images are "properly presented"?

Aves Libre is a great gallery app, and Amaze is a good file manager

Is it just me, or has the BS with OpenAI shown that nobody in the AI space actually cares about "safeguarding AGI?" by thru_dangers_untold in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] thru_dangers_untold@lemmy.ml 28 points 7 months ago

It's common business practice for the first big companies in a new market/industry to create "barriers to entry". The calls for regulation are exactly that. They don't care about safety--just money.

Does anyone still use RSS and if so what are you subscribed to? by thru_dangers_untold in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] thru_dangers_untold@lemmy.ml 13 points 8 months ago

I don't know what I would do without RSS. I started with Google Reader back in 06 or so. Then went to Feedly, now Inoreader. Between that and podcasts, I have about 200 RSS subscriptions divided into categories: world news, local news, sports, science, entertainment, philosophy, etc. I don't read every article of course, but I do have highlighted keywords to make sure I don't miss important stuff when scanning.

Why has the world started to mine coal again? by thru_dangers_untold in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[-] thru_dangers_untold@lemmy.ml 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yes, countries like Germany are turning to coal as a direct result of nuclear-phobia.

The US, with all its green initiatives and solar/wind incentives, is pumping more oil than Saudi Arabia. The US has been the top oil producer on whole the planet for the last 5-6 years. The problem is getting worse.

No "swipe to hide post". The only swipe actions I can find on Infinity are up/down vote.

My grandma is nearly 90 years old and still laughs at farts until she's out of breath. Never gets old.

Morrowind modern game engine OpenMW 0.48 is readying to release by thru_dangers_untold in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

It's definitely playable. I even got it to work on my android phone with little trouble, though I wouldn't recommend it without a mouse & keyboard setup.
