  • I honestly have no idea what EP is. I'm running server 2022 for a couple of game servers. Is this something I should worry about?

  • Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump
  • I do believe I said "immediately attacking and dogpiling trans women who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump", not using transphobic slurs or whatever.

    Nice astroturfing, though. I see you out here.

  • Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump
  • I drive a cab and talk politics all day in one of the most leftist regions in the US. I've never so much as heard the name in person. Including from other socialists and active agitators for workers rights.

  • Good thing hexchan's take is totally irrelevant!

  • LGBTQ+ isn't optimal
  • Queer rolls off the tongue a lot better than LGBT. Though I have heard it pronounced like 'el gibbity' and I fully approve.

  • The Spotify Car Thing cost $100, but I can't use it anymore.
  • Can I have it? I'd never buy one but I use Spotify constantly in my cab. It'd be nice to have it not attached to my phone.

  • This is the discourse Im looking for
  • I love this take. It reminds me of like that picture of a guy in a hoodie and sunglasses from the early 20th century, or when an older show or movie has a line that seems to refer to the name of something that hadn't been invented at the time, but it's actually referring to something else.

    Or like when they fix time travel paradox in a story by faking an 'inescapable' event.

    It's perfect.

  • Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump
  • Nope. Blocked the community and all the users who replied. Go dig around in their trashcan of an instance if you like. Or just tell them you're trans and want to make sure Trump doesn't get into office so you don't have to flee the country and watch them come out of the woodwork.

  • After Washington police nearly beat him to death for walking while high, will prosecution against him continue?
  • Being swayed by reality would require having a drop of moral integrity. No prosecutor has that.

  • Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.
  • I feel like those posters aren't really socialists either. There's a point which just claiming a worldview isn't enough to justify the accuracy of that label while holding all the opposing positions to its values.

  • Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump
  • I've been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics. The most common instance of their hateful hypocrisy I've encountered is this constant assurance that they support trans people while immediately attacking and dog piling and trans people who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump.

    I live in Massachusetts. We are a very blue state and we're one of the best places in the world to transition. We have informed consent, legal protection of our basic rights, and mandatory insurance coverage of trans health care, which state insurance also covers. Whatever you think of the DNC, the Democrats in Massachusetts are absolutely allies of trans people who've worked to actively protect our rights.

    Still, I'm well aware of the danger that federal law could potentially pose. I know there may be a time when I have to flee the country if things get bad enough, and that's a lot more likely under Trump.

    But they don't actually care about my rights, happiness, or safety, or those of any other trans people. They don't care what happens to us, they just want to use us as a bludgeon to dunk on people.

    The hexchanners who aren't actively Russian trolls seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives, minimizing the damage they do to vulnerable populations and engaging in high school level pettiness and hate.

  • Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.
  • I'd like to block all users and posts from hexchan, exploding heads, and lemmygrad. I don't care if it sends the data as long as it blocks it from my UI.

    What's that written in? Python? I need to learn Python.

  • "Portal" by Andrey Surnov
  • If you're going to spam Lemmy with bullshit on multiple accounts, can you at least stop making a new community for every post? It's a lot easier to block.

  • Satanic Doo-Wop
  • I love Twin Temple!

    Are you in Twin Temple?

    :O

  • Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.
  • I honestly wouldn't give those people the dignity of calling them leftists. They're too concerned about cosplaying as activists and dunking on people to actually give a shit about advancing the rights of real people or trying to protect anything good.

  • Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.
  • Honestly, it's begun to feel more hostile and shady. Pretty sure the Russian trolls are here, but hexchan ain't helping either. I'm waiting for a client side instance block feature. We really need it.

  • Bernie Sanders urges left to back Biden to stop ‘very dangerous’ Trump
  • Out here desperately hoping that the fake leftists propping up Trump are mostly Russian trolls or just a pocket of internet children. I think actual real life people on the left in the US largely get how dangerous this could be.

  • How do you handle being upset about something online?
  • I don't really engage with anything I don't see as a thoughtful reply made in good faith. Sometimes. But I try not to.

  • Harvard has its CS50 lectures online for free. Can't hurt.

  • 2024 Republicans want to eliminate the Education Department. What would that look like?
  • I think it leaves us with factory feudalism.

  • Lemmy Edition!: What are your favorite local businesses, locations, and services in the Northampton area?

    It's that time again! It's been 2 years since our last new recommendations thread, and there are plenty of new businesses since then! Let's kick off the Lemmy community with another one!

    Feel free to plug any restaurants and other entertainment venues, excellent local businesses, favorite parks and nature spots, and pretty much anything that you think deserves wider recognition and acclaim! Bonus for anything recent that even locals might have missed!

    I made a VIA macro to make using Lemmy easier! What have you made with VIA?

    Given the overlap in interests between mechanical keyboards and Lemmy, I thought some of you might be able to make use of this macro.

    When you open a Lemmy link in a new tab and trigger the macro, it'll switch to the tab and automatically search the URL on lemm.ee, then open the first result. You could pretty easily swap it over to another instance that you have an account on, but you'll have to count the tabs yourself if they have some extra links or buttons or something.

    Pretty simple, but it's been really useful to make browsing and posting between different fediverse platforms much smoother. Hopping from Calckey over to Lemmy and getting to the particular instance I need feels a lot more seamless now. If you run into issues with some instances not federating with one another, you could also easily set a second macro with another instance for those communities that have defederated from one another, such as open-registration communities and human-verified ones if you prefer one or the other.

    I'm honestly still kind of blown away by just how much smoother a few macros can make day-to-day PC use.

    I'm curious what others have made with VIA and how it's affected their every day experience and their work flow. What unique VIA macros have you made? Have you made anything that might make Fediverse integration a little smoother?

    Anyway, here it is so you can try it out! It should be pretty simple to modify or make your own from scratch!

    ``` {KC_LCTL, KC_TAB}{400}{KC_F6}{400}{KC_LCTL, KC_C}{40}lemm.ee/search{KC_ENT}{4067}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_LCTL, KC_V}{703}{KC_ENT}{4000}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_TAB}{KC_ENT}

    ```

    What other Fediverse instances have you been able to federate Lemmy with successfully?

    I've got a Calckey server up and I'm testing integration with Lemmy and Mastodon. It seems like Mastodon's working well, and I've been able to follow communities, but I'm not sure if it actually displays posts (we're about to find out).

    What other Fediverse instances have you used, and how has connecting with Lemmy or other federated instances worked on it for you?

    If you run your own instance, have you had much luck with relays? Are there any you'd recommend?

    Edit: So on my end it seems like Calckey will allow you to follow Lemmy communities, but it only displays posts if they're 'boosted' by the community. Which, I have no idea how that happens!
