Game Day Thread - Winnipeg Jets (0-0-0) @ Calgary Flames (0-0-0) - 8:00 MDT

Well, here we go! An absolutely fascinating year for the Flames, and I can't help but wonder what kind of team we're going to see.

Discuss.

Global water crisis could 'spiral out of control' due to overconsumption and climate change, UN report warns
  • Oh, there was nothing wrong with the gist of what they said, it was the personal commentary at the beginning that was unneeded. If they had skipped that then their point would have been likely considered more thoughtfully by those reading.

  • Patch submitted to the Linux kernel by a 4 year old.
  • ...Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh... What have I done with my life?

  • Global water crisis could 'spiral out of control' due to overconsumption and climate change, UN report warns
  • No, ignorant takes like yours are the real problem.

    Is this Reddit?! (Looks up at title bar in confusion.)

    No.....well, this is odd.

  • Non-Profit Registration: Name suggestions.
  • Canada Communication Consortium

  • Oliver Kylington talks about the mental health issues that kept him from hockey last year.

    The article is in Swedish, so you'll have to use translate if you don't understand Swedish. But the video has English subtitles. Both the article and the video are worth a look.

    Impressions from a new ChatGPT user
  • Yes. Even when I know what the limits are, and why, the thing lulls you into responding as if it were a conscious agent. The downside of the way it produces speech.

  • Impressions from a new ChatGPT user
  • Yup, exactly what I experienced too.

  • Impressions from a new ChatGPT user

    As a brand new user of ChatGPT, I have never been so incredibly impressed and rage-inducing frustrated at exactly the same time with any new tech I've ever tried.

    I was using it to help create some simple javascript functions and debug some code. It could come up with working functions almost immediately that took a really interesting approach that I wouldn't have thought of. "Boom," I thought, "this is great! Let's keep going!" Then, immediately afterwards, it would provide absolute shit that couldn't and wouldn't work at all. It couldn't remember the very code it just outputted to me on multiple occasions, and when asked to make a few minor changes it constantly spouted brand new very different functions, usually omitting half the functionality it had before. But, when the code was directly typed in by me in a message, every time, it did much better.

    Seems with every question like that I had to start from scratch every time, or else it would work from clearly wrong (not even close, usually) newly generated, code. For example, if I asked it to print exactly the same function it printed a moment ago, it would excitedly proclaim, "Of course! Here's the exact same function!" and then print a completely different function.

    I spent so much time carefully wording my question to get it to correctly help me debug something that I ended up finding the bug myself, just because I was being so careful in examining my code so I could ask it a question that would give me a relevant answer. So....I guess that's a win? Lol. Then, just for fun, I told ChatGPT that I had found and corrected the bug, and it took responsibility for the fix.

    And yet, when it does get it right, it's really quite impressive.

  • As always, the limits of tolerance are met when it comes to suggesting we tolerate intolerance. The boundary must be set there.

  • A welcome to our new /c/cfl moderator

    After bribery and threats, @streetfestival has grudgingly acquiesced to help out with moderating here, especially with regards to the weekly threads and game threads.

    A warm welcome to /u/streetfestival!

    Too many posts from the 3 Down Nation Feed (and not enough from community users)

    Having some interesting articles relevant to the CFL and other 3 down football is awesome, but not when the community is still small but growing. Those posts seem to take over, as there's at least two or three every day, and so that's all that ends being on the main page in the community. So, I may manually post some of the more interesting articles from that feed, but for now the rest of them are going to stop. Obviously, community members are encouraged to give any and all feedback on this and other matters.

    This Ivy League researcher says spirituality is good for our mental health
  • I still haven't figured out what 'spirituality' is supposed to mean. It's a word used in so many vague, fuzzy, and often contradictory ways that it seems to be basically meaningless. Mostly it seems it's used as a rough synonym for 'emotion', usually the emotions of awe and wonder. So sure, I agree that healthy emotions are good for our mental health. That is unsurprising.

  • I just watched 12 Angry Men (1957) for the first time and it is incredible.

    Absolutely. It's a timeless masterpiece in my opinion.

  • New user interfaces available on lemmy.ca!
  • ...and now it's there with the new update! Nice!

  • New user interfaces available on lemmy.ca!
  • Holy crap that was fast!!! And it now has the 'My communities' dropdown, which makes it much better! Thanks!!

  • New user interfaces available on lemmy.ca!
  • The latest version of mlmym includes the subscribed commuunities dropdown in the top bar. Can mlmym be updated to this version, please? The lack of access to one's subscribed communities makes it borderline unusable atm despite how much I like it.

  • LemmyTools 0.2.0.7 is released! Now with Top Bar as default! Browser addon news: LemmyTools functionality is being explored to go into the "Instance Assistant for kbin & lemmy!" by cynber!
  • Awesome, thanks for the update and new features!

    Would it be possible to make the script work with old.lemmy.ca (and old.lemmy.world, etc) as well? The lack of access to subscribed communities on the old.* frontend, despite its advantages, makes it borderline unusable.

  • Does one lemmy account work across different instances?
  • Your account is only your account on one instance. You can have other accounts on other instances. However, you can access and post to all of the communities, content, and posts on all federated instances from your one account on one instance.

  • Why do each of my accounts have different subscription lists?
  • So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account.

    Why are you needing to do that? You only need one account on one instance and you can subscribe to all the things you want on every instance (assuming that it hasn't been defederated for some reason). That way you'll only have one account with one list of subscribed communities instead of differing ones on different accounts.

  • New user interfaces available on lemmy.ca!
  • Now I just need a subscribed community dropdown list like I had with RES

  • New user interfaces available on lemmy.ca!
  • That's really awesome. The old.lemmy.ca looks surprisingly like old that-other-place.

  • Mapping a gas station / convenience store

    I've seen this done in almost every combination imaginable, and would like to know what the 'correct' way to do this is. I've seen the building marked as 'retail' with a point at the pumps for 'gas station' and a point in the building for 'convenience store', I've seen the building itself marked as one with a point added for the other, I've seen the pumps area marked as the gas station and the building marked as the convenience store, and on and on.

    What's the recommended way to do this?

    Why are folks so anti-capitalist?
  • That’s an interesting perspective! Care to share some data?

    Well, of course the data on what our actions (much of which are due to and based upon capitalism) are doing to are environment and climate, and inevitably must lead to given the implicit but incorrect assumption of infinite resources of that system, is everywhere and basically impossible to ignore these days, isn't it? And, almost as easy to find is the data on other cultures killing themselves off (in the, at the time, limited scope of their part of the planet) due to their actions, such as Easter Island.

  • Glad to see this community here!

    I'm glad to see this community pop up here. While I don't live there, I have family in the Koots and spend considerable time there every year near Slocan. Absolutely beautiful country, and wonderful people around there!!

    Random log outs

    Is this just me or is anyone else having issues where suddenly when clicking on a community or post they are logged out? These seems new as of the 0.18.2 update.

    Edit: I found this post where various users on lemmy.world are having what sounds like the same issue.

    Crossposting from Reddit bot is taking a vacation

    Thanks for all the feedback on our crossposting bot for bringing linked content here from Reddit! Reviews have been mixed, as expected.

    The bot will be turned off for a couple of weeks, or perhaps permanently, while we see how the community grows without the Reddit content.

    Happy posting and flying!

    Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback about our crossposting bot! Reviews have been mixed, as expected. I'm turning off the crossposting bot for now, or perhaps permanently. We'll see how things progress over the next few weeks!

    Happy posting and scootering!

    The crossposting bot is gonna take a vacation

    Thanks to everyone that has posted or DMed about the bot doing the Reddit crossposting, and giving me your thoughts! Reviews have been mixed, which I expected, about whether or not the bot is useful or annoying or somewhere in between. It's getting turned off for now and I'll let the community grow organically.

    It can be something used occasionally, turned back on temporarily after two weeks, or scrapped entirely (it's not meant to be permanent regardless). The next couple of weeks and the thoughts and opinions of community members will let me know.

    A glitch in our bot resulting in *way* too many posts recently

    Sorry for multiple posts spamming people's feed over the past few hours! Our bot became a bit frisky. I think it's all sorted now.

    Crossposted content from Reddit

    I have a bot to help bring in more content. Images, videos, and other links posted on Reddit are being crossposted here. Don't worry, each will only appear once, and text only posts are not being crossposted.

    Feel free to discuss this content at will in the relevant posts. If you want to give suggestions, tell me this is a horrible idea, or have other thoughts and opinions on this, post your thoughts here in this thread.
