TIL, and also ☹️

Neat! Would love to see more from there if you have more photos 😄

This is very cool, thank you! Sometimes when I post here, I link to a related research paper. A lot of research paper sites are a pain to use, and even harder to search with

The share menu seems to give me this

Collaborative Content Moderation in the Fediverse

How hard would it be to have some openparchment related links at the top of the article pages? Or perhaps a way to link to the articles details page directly?

@[email protected], I’d be curious if you did the same experiment but with a [Free public access] tag in the title, or something similar.

I would also like to support non-google / non-ad-revenue-fueled platforms when I can. Seems like a lot of people might not know that they had free access to it

I’ve been learning more about Patreon recently, and it seems to be a half-decent platform that creators find genuinely appealing.

I don’t agree with all the points here, but I’m willing to hear them out and see what they come up with.

The Fediverse has some limitations around creator-made content, and maybe something like Patreon can fill in those gaps? At least until if / when they enshitify…

That’s a good point @[email protected]

lemmy.ca and piefed.ca are both compatible and run by the same organization :)

The other comment said “self-deleting”

For the past short while, one person has been creating and deleting accounts repeatedly. It hurts discussion because the threads keep disappearing. It’s harmful behavior that deserves to be called out

In the academic year of 1994-1995, I ended up doing graduate work in Eastern Europe studying nationalism and ethnic minorities. Though I totally love the people, cultures and landscape of Eastern Europe, I was deeply homesick for the forests of Cascadia, specifically the Willamette Valley forests I grew up around. One day in spring as I sat on a hill with my companion, I explained to her what the landscape of my home looked like. I said those vast vineyards if at my house would be vast green forests; the distant mountains of the Matras would be the snowcapped Cascades with white clouds hovering above; and above that might be the blue sky. The three colors of blue, white and green came to mind and that the pine tree in front of us would be a Douglas fir. The image stuck in my mind and spent a lot of time obsessively drawing the flag which really annoyed my soon to be wife. That period of time was crucial in regards to what was happening in Cascadia at that point.

It doesn’t sound like that much of a stretch. If you got someone unfamiliar with these flags and had them pick some colors, I wouldn’t be surprised if they picked the same ones.

The flag on the other wiki cites this page for the flag

https://web.archive.org/web/20200613033606/https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/northwest-american-republic

The “Republic” and its flag are based on the so-called “Northwest Imperative,” a longstanding call by some white supremacists, including Covington, for white people to move to the Pacific Northwest and establish their own country there. Covington promoted this idea on the Internet and in various novels.

Covington, ostracized by most of the white supremacist movement, had few followers, but did have a significant Internet presence that could catch the attention of would-be white supremacists.

Then from this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Covington

He launched a website in 1996; using the pseudonym Winston Smith (taken from the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four), Covington became one of the first neo-Nazi presences on the Internet

So if anything, it sounds like this guy based his flag off of the other one because it was popular at the time, and continues to be more well known than his one.

So again:

• two flags can have the same color scheme and be ideologically opposed to each other
• It doesn’t make sense to crap on symbols because a separate group is using a similar symbol. Doing so only weakens the positive symbol and strengthens the bad one

Please grow the fuck up, leave people alone and do your own thing.

Why make this post then? You’re doing the same thing you’re complaining about. You can always just block content you don’t want to see

Often flags from a region will have similar color schemes, even if they are ideologically opposed to each other.

If there’s overlap between the groups of people that use the flag, then that’s a problem

Yup, this is the one I’ve been seeing in a lot of guides. I’m not sure how it compares to the other ones, but it was easy enough when I tried it.

The process for a clean install would be something like:

1. select the region and keyboard but do not connect to wifi, instead hit shift + F10 and run start ms-cxh:localonly to have a local only account
2. Once the desktop loads, connect to the Internet and (assuming the recent Windows update didn’t break everything again) run updates through the UI
3. Run Win11Debloat to remove/disable junk and to make common adjustments
4. Run appwiz.cpl for anything that was missed

Bonus

• Winget for apps (or UniGetUI if you prefer a GUI)
• WinHawk and PowerToys for quality of life improvements

You can try Chocolatey too, but I gave up on it recently because of constant errors and questionable community packages

You need the https:// portion in your link, else it doesn’t work for others

Generative AI “anatomy” diagrams gross me out almost every time. It has a similar effect as those old trypophobia images

?

It does if one of the options leads to a successful compromise. Based on the comments on this post, it seems that this solution has worked for a lot of households

Well rather OP is pointing out that there is a third option that both parties nay consider to be a fair compromise, and thus be more likely to agree to.

I’m not sure why this comment is downvoted, it’s not incorrect and also acknowledges that generative AI is a bad source.

Nearly every type of source, no matter how good it is, has an official way to cite it. There are even guidelines on citing in person conversations, social media posts, tiktoks, etc.

People are allowed to cite it, but that doesn’t mean they should be. Especially in an academic setting lol.

imo another big concern is that half the search results are now LLM slop. Someone might be trying to avoid generative AI and still end up citing a slop article that they didn’t realize was AI.

I think the user meant to say “lid down”

• seat down: easy for one group, slightly inconvenient for the other, unhygienic when flushing

• seat up: easy for one group, slightly inconvenient for the other, unhygienic when flushing

• seat and lid down: slightly inconvenient for both parties (but if it’s consistent then you can build muscle memory), and hygienic when flushing

There are lots of good suggestions already. If you want to explore how the different threadiverse platforms display your posts, look into Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, and NodeBB.

kbin.social no longer exists but the project has continued as Mbin. For fediverse discussion communities you have [email protected] (on Lemmy), [email protected] (on Piefed), [email protected] (nodeBB)
