What are the odds?
  • Oh dang, this is the 4th floor? I didn't even see that previously!

    In that case, I've encountered double caustic slimes quite often, and wouldn't really be surprised to encounter them at all.

  • What are the odds?
  • I have never encountered any double boss before in all my years playing PD*! And that's actually saying something, because I play Shattered quite often. So, in my inexpert opinion, pretty darn small!

    * limited to Vanilla, Shattered, and Experienced. Also bits of Yet Another, for a little while about a year ago.

  • France's Macron says sending troops to Ukraine cannot be ruled out
  • PARIS, Feb 26 (Reuters) - France's President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday there was no consensus on sending troops to Ukraine, but the subject could not be ruled out.

    "There is no consensus at this stage... to send troops on the ground," Macron said after hosting some 20 countries allied to Ukraine.

    "Nothing should be excluded. We will do everything that we must so that Russia does not win."


    Saved you a click. Yes, that's it. That's the entire "article". A total of 4 sentences. What exactly was the point of writing such a short article?

    Edit: pulled my head out of my ass.

  • How did you de-Google's your Android device?
  • Also Joplin! It's a cross-platform Markdown notes app with many syncing options (including local storage, Dropbox, Nextcloud, and others). I've been using it for 2 years now, after trying different apps to see what fits. I've been using local storage and Syncthing to keep my Android phone and Linux PC synced, and really like it. It even lets you use an external text editor to edit your notes!

  • Weird or unique hobbies.
  • After going through the paper, it's not just "alien plant with eyes", but rather "alien mimic plant with eyes"! This plant "sees" other plants around (above?) itself and changes the shape of its own leaves to match those of the other plant.

    I wonder if the effect can be chained, and if so, how long the chain could be? I'm imagining an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking an alien mimic plant with eyes mimicking the first alien mimic plant with eyes.

  • I don't want anything out of this for myself, as I currently have enough on my plate as it is. I'm just commenting to boost engagement. I love that you're doing this, though! Happy holidays, everyone! *<|:-)

  • My First Regular Expressions
  • Piggybacking onto this to mention my go-to online RegEx editor: RegExr. It lets you test the regex as you type, explains the particular symbols used, as well as has a sidebar where you can see different pattern types categorically. I've been using it for almost 2 years now, and haven't had any reason to use much else (after I discovered this).

  • [DISCUSSION] Federation with Threads?
  • I agree with this completely! I am also not generally a fan of such gatekeeping, but in cases like these I feel that it is not just justified, but rather necessary.

    I once asked the admin and ... a defederation of such instances is not seen as an action to take.

    Could you please rephrase? Not sure I understand this properly. What I think I understand is that the instance admin is not a big fan of defederation. Is that correct?

  • [DISCUSSION] Federation with Threads?

    Not sure if this is the right community to post this in, as we don't have any !main@feddit.ch or similar community, but it seemed the most relevant. Sorry if it doesn't belong.

    I'm sure that at this point it has become common knowledge that , Meta's alternative to Twitter, is trying to implement ActivityPub into their site. If/when this goes through, this would make Threads an instance admin, giving then full access to all the data that is available to other instance admins. This would include all data that belongs to Lemmy/KBin/Mastodon/etc users.

    My main question is, should we let them do this? Should we federate with them if/when they come online, or should we defederate? I know that does not usually defederate with others (we currently only have one instance blocked, bottom of ), but in this case, this is Meta we're dealing with. They aren't exactly a big fan of data privacy, which is the whole theme of this instance (our sidebar: "This instance is focused on providing security and privacy for its users").

    It seems that most people on Lemmy/etc. seem to be in favour of pre-emptive defederation and that many other instances have already defederated (Lemmy.ca, dbzer0, Blahaj, Beehaw, Lemm.ee).

    There may also be another solution, but I'm not sure whether this applies to Lemmy.

    What does everyone else think? Should we stay federated with them? Should we defederate, like other instances have already done? Should we wait and see? I'd love to hear others' opinions on this.

  • I also use Feeder, and have been using it for about a year now. There is no way to delete a single post without deleting the entire feed. What is probably happening is that you have disabled "Read" articles in the filter:

    Ricing refers to modifying your system to make it look cool. The term comes from street racing, where it basically meant improving perceived performance using cosmetics like spoilers and hood ornaments and stuff. Mostly form over function.
