reminds me of this

(warning video from Reddit, and it might be a bit crude)

Oh interesting, looks like they have a sister Lemmy community that never took off: N reddit.com/…/join_our_sister_community_at_lemmywo…

otter,

Trail camera 😊

otter,

Great to hear! I had them generated, but I was really happy with how this one came out :)

I’m hoping to eventually have some Lemmy artists swap the banners/icons once there’s a need for it

otter,

Hopefully imgur doesn’t compress it: i.imgur.com/slxKa60.png

otter,

It took some trial and error, but I used DALLE for it. The prompt was something like

cartoonish flat style of a young lemming walking down a path, on its first day

otter,

sorry old Ptolemy

otter,

This is the first thing that came to mind. I used to get them at the dentist as a kid

Didn’t realize how cheap they were, maybe I’ll get more…

otter,

To follow up: What is a good solution for OPs use case?

Personal section on Jellyfin?

otter,

One of my favourites for sure :)

Z-Library Blog: "Unprecedented seizure of our domains with books on rare languages" (z-library.se)

Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For...

Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world

All of this is a priceless heritage, contributing to the preservation and study of world cultures, and serving as important material for researchers in linguistics, anthropology, and history.

I’d be curious to take a look once it comes back up

otter,

Please also consider this community for more content

Alleged RCMP leaker says he was tipped off that police targets had 'moles' in law enforcement (www.cbc.ca)

According to Ortis, briefed him about a “storefront” that was being created to attract criminal targets to an online encryption service. A storefront, said Ortis, is a fake business or entity, either online or bricks-and-mortar, set up by police or intelligence agencies....

This is a comment from a random user, not the pinned explanation on that link, but I thought it was funny

CBC can’t be trusted. Propaganda state media for the Liberals.

lol what

otter,

Looks great!

otter,

Could you add this to the sidebar?

!moviesandtv

It’s the new community for that kind of stuff after lemmy.film got shut down

otter,

Thanks :))

Riddle from Reddit 9 years ago:

A man went out drinking all night. He came home and before going to sleep he turned off the light. He awoke the next morning and went outside, and there were dead people all around. What happened? Yes or no questions please :) Good luck!

otter,

From when I was asking about it, I think it’s only the instance admins that can see the details. It would be nice to have this information clearly outlined somewhere, so people know and aren’t surprised.

Maybe a table like

What can each person see

Lemmy

Other users Community Moderators Instance Admins
info A1 info B1 info C1 (all)
info A2 info B2 info C2 (home instance)
info A3 info B3 info C3 (community’s instance)

I think the table should be off site on a guide website

As for the rendering, which app are you using? I’ve found that too (Boost misses most rendering for me)

otter,

Oh huh

Well that might discourage people from voting…

otter,

Appreciate the thoughts, it gives me more to think about. I’ve also been avoiding controversial subject matter and I think I’ll avoid it even more now.

I do think the Fediverse needs to improve privacy and ease of use for alts. I’ve seen a lot of stuff over the years on Reddit that an authoritarian government would love to get their hands on. I guess the fediverse, by design, can’t be private? I worry that someone who doesn’t know better will get hurt because they don’t understand the risks.

All the more reason to join trusted instances with solid admins, and to keep your Lemmy profile separate from your real identity.

A possible workflow right now might be to browse on one account, and post comments from another. Boost on Reddit made that easier, but I don’t think the Lemmy one does that yet

otter,

The internet is a messy place and I like my privacy

I think people will feel more comfortable voting if it wasn’t made public. Same reason we add privacy booths during elections, or put our heads down in class when voting on simple things

otter,

Odd, I wonder what the difference is

otter,

I’m not sure I understand

If everyone can see what I upvote, then I’m going to take that into consideration before voting. If it was private, then I wouldn’t worry about it and vote whenever I want to.

Overall this might be a good thing because it exposes bad behaviour, such as downvoting the person who disagrees with you.

This might be a problem if, for example, there’s a post critical of moderators / admins. You might want to upvote it, but worry about getting banned. If your Lemmy profile can be linked to your real identity, you might worry about real world consequences too.
