I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

MxRemy,

Lemmy for sure, I love this place so much!

MxRemy, (edited )

Remember how many days are in each month. I mean, I guess maybe I could if I tried harder, but I refuse.

EDIT: ok I’m seeing everyone’s tips here, and thank you, but I gotta say… None of these heuristics seem any amount easier to remember. 😭

MxRemy,

YES THANK YOU!!! The only sane person right here! 😭😭😭

MxRemy,

No.

Maybe I’m way off the mark here but… I think the reaction to tankies seems very overblown. No one you could describe as a “tankie” is currently in charge of any of the countries/companies/organizations that are busy destroying the world right now, so I don’t super understand why everyone’s talking about them like they’re at all a priority? The authoritarians that tankies are obsessed with are all either long dead, or totally unaware of their existence.

Maybe some people on the left are just trying to look at future dangers here, like tankies are gonna be “Bolsheviks Part 2”, somehow come into power, and then purge all the anarchists or something. But didn’t Bolsheviks actually have a lot of power and influence prior to the revolution? Tankies don’t seem to.

MxRemy,

…you know, that definitely sounds pretty plausible! Massive wave of fascism happening internationally right now, and we’re screaming about these people instead because the red scare was so incredibly effective? That is sadly very believable.

MxRemy,

I do understand this. Never said I wasn’t a marxist, I’m just not a tankie.

MxRemy,

Don’t you hate when that happens? Pictures are currently busted on my instance and the admin, while a pretty cool person I think, has been ominously quiet about it… 😅

Have we (Lemmy or the fediverse in general) ever landed on a “best practices” with respect to migrating accounts and one’s old content? Presumably if your instance goes down, any of your content that ever federated out exists somewhere or other, right? So could you just put a link in your profile, that leads to your previous account, but as seen through some (still existing) instance? Like: lemmy.b/u/old_account@lemmy.a

I guess that only works if by some chance instance b happened to catch EVERY post you made, which would require at least one person on b being subscribed to each community you ever posted in, right?

MxRemy,

I am very, very excited about it! I check for updates nearly every day lol

MxRemy,

I’m not a fan of Bluesky, but i hear tell they got some sorta customizable sorting algorithm thingy right? Maybe it’ll have something like that!

MxRemy,

Pawpaws! If you get them just right, they’re like eating a banana-mango custard.

MxRemy,

Isn’t that the app I used for voice training to get feedback from people? If it is, then that lol

MxRemy,

Wafrn, in MY Lemmy?? It’s more likely than I thought!

Seriously though I LOVE Wafrn. I got into Tumblr right at the tail end immediately before it went to shit, and I always regretted not doing it sooner. Wafrn rules.

MxRemy,

I’ve got one! Obscure textile crafts.

There are knitting/crochet communities of course, but all the super niche ones like ply-split braiding or smocking are too rare to warrant a whole community to themselves. On reddit there was a defunct sub called bistitchual, both for all obscure fibercrafts and for combinations of unrelated fibercrafts in one work. I wish we had it here.

Is the Podcast 2.0 standard entirely bullshit?

Hopefully this is a reasonable community for this question. Podcast 2.0 seems to have some neat features, like potential activitypub integration, commenting, chapters, closed captioning, etc. I would love all that stuff in a podcatcher. But then it also seems all tangled up in crypto BS! I can’t hardly search anything about it...

MxRemy,

If I could, I’d use a different kind each time! Jelly/jam/preserves/etc is so good. Last year, for the first time, we had just enough aronia berries to make a teeny bit of jam, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since lol. So I’d say that would be my go-to for PB&Js if I had any.

Lemmy.one profile photos and community photos are broken

Scroll through Local here and you will see. Communities and users that are local to this Lemmy.one have a black box for a photo. Viewing the profile/community from another instance displays the black box as well. It seems that users who have not set a custom profile picture just have a default Lemmy lemur icon, and that displays...

MxRemy,

Just tried re-uploading mine and ran into the same issue.

MxRemy,

Same, doggo 😅

MxRemy,

I’ve been wondering this too, thanks!

MxRemy,

A confederation of autonomous zones run horizontally under anarchist principles, a la Rojava, the Makhnovshchina, Catalonia, etc etc. Presumably for many types of collapse, there’d be a gradual period where the government just cuts off services to increasingly populated areas and abandons them. Autonomous zones like these could spring up to fill the void, and eventually be better than what they’re replacing.

MxRemy,

Based.

Some parts of the Mastodon community are hostile towards VC Funding, AI, and cryptocurrency, particularly because of their entanglement with enshittification and hype cycles. These people are worried that this relationship will lead Mastodon down an unhealthy path that prioritizes the wrong things. It’s a totally understandable concern, but it’s important to remember the mission and purpose of Mastodon’s US entity: to manage and raise donations in the United States. This is not an executive department making decisions for the Mastodon project, and they aren’t shareholders expecting to make some kind of financial returns. A healthy board requires a diverse set of opinions and experiences that educate the real decision-makers so they can get multiple perspectives on problems they need to solve. It seems like this board’s variety of backgrounds has been set up to do exactly that.

…This really doesn’t soothe my concerns at all! Actually, up until right now, I hadn’t even been paying enough attention to have concerns. So… if anything, this article has inspired concerns I didn’t already have.

It’s like if the server at a restaurant came up to you and said “now I know what you’re thinking… we did in fact recently hire some cannibals. But they only work in the business office, not the kitchen!”

MxRemy,

Archived version for you.

MxRemy,

Omg I’m sorry, operating on very little sleep here lol. You can’t make CHEESE from human milk, is what I meant…

EDIT: Googled it, apparently human milk has too little protein in general, and specifically not enough casein.
