  • If there's anyone who has any valuable input about multiple accounts, it's this guy.

  • See, I don't even know. The term is used so broadly. It's basically just "Lemmy users I don't like"

  • You're about to get 10 different answers, most would say

    • Any user from the Lemmygrad and Hexbear instances, and some from Lemmy.ml
    • Genocide deniers
    • Pro-Russia and pro-China users

    I think it's just a derogatory term for anyone that's anti-imperialism/liberalism

  • Just a couple more things to add:

    Sometimes the tile will update on the server but your browser will still show the old one. You can press Ctrl+Shift+R to do a more thorough reload of the webpage.

    The tiles are usually pretty quick to update at high zoom levels (like when you're zoomed all the way in) but they are slower to update the more zoomed out you are.

  • It hasn't stopped people from thinking that "communism" is a synonym for "bad".

  • Knowing which map you are looking at will be helpful. It's a little confusing but OSM technically is just data and then maps are built from that data.

    Street Complete makes a map, which is different from OsmAnd, which is different from Organic Maps, but they all use the same data.

    I'm guessing you were just looking at the main openstreetmap.org website and used the built-in editor. The Standard layer is called OpenStreetMap Carto and the editor is called iD.

    Whenever you submit edits from the editor, the Standard layer on the OSM website will automatically update. This usually only takes a couple minutes, but you will need to refresh the page to see the changes. OsmAnd and Organic Maps usually provide updates every month that need to be downloaded to see.

    If you want, you can shoot me a message and I can take a look in the area as well.

  • France also has St. Pierre and Miquelon that shares a border with Newfoundland.

  • Like that time Trump said hurricane Dorian would hit Alabama, so they drew an extra line on the forecast to make it retroactively true?

  • I know it isn't needed, but it seems odd how many people I know have not received their voters card.

    After the election was called I went and checked my registration info and made sure it was accurate. Still didn't get anything.

  • I unfortunately understand that but it's more that the headline is using the "non-answer" for their question.

    "Are you the right leader for the NDP?"

    "I am absolutely the right leader for the country"

    Title: "Singh says he is the right leader for the NDP"

    I suppose it could be a good way to combat their non-answers by using it literally to quote them and make them look dumb.

  • Singh was asked if he’s still the right leader for the party.

    “So if you want to defend health care, I’m your guy. I’m the only one that’s committed to defending health care, fighting back against privatization, not letting people profit off the pain of Canadians,” he said.

    Singh said both the Liberals and Conservatives are proposing cuts to federal spending [...]

    Either the question was asked poorly or he didn't understand because he clearly was not answering the question that was asked.

  • I've got bad news for you, this wasn't from RvB.

    Your statement is still true independent of the image, however.

  • I was expecting something like version 0.112 but this is pretty close.

  • No, he was just doing his weird seal clap.

  • I'm sure "pixeld" would be pronounced like "pixelled" but when I saw it my immediate thought was "pixel dee".

    While I do like the "pixelled" pronunciation, I think "pixelfed" is less ambiguous and it's clear what service it is running.

  • Renaming the C:\ drive to A:\ for America.

  • This seems to fit my learning style. I love knowing the building blocks of words and the association to words I already know. It helps with not having to just simply memorise another dictionary.

    And I like the more passive intake of information. I think it's lowered the bar enough for me to take the leap and actually start learning.

  • Why cross-post to the same community this was already posted to?

  • Welcome New Users!

  • I've been here for awhile and have a pretty good understanding of how federation works. Number (3) was a very concise way to explain how the All feed works. I sort of knew but that really helped me understand.

    Number (7), I will suggest the use of the cross-posting feature. Post to the larger community for engagement but also cross-post to the smaller communities to help them grow. Quiet communities are a cat-and-mouse game where people don't post or comment because no one else is. The more people start to engage, the more others will start to engage.
