I've never heard of mujico, either positively or negatively. However, if your instance was blocked by my instance or by lemmy.ml, wouldn't I not be seeing this post?

So, what's your instance about? I'm intrigued!

Oh weird, I know where that option usually shows up for me (running Vanadium browser on GrapheneOS), but it doesn't seem to be there for Piefed?

EDIT: Nevermind, sorry! I think they combined the "add shortcut" and "install app" buttons in Vanadium, got it set up now.

In the context you've given, sure! I like it but I have trouble believing people when they say it.

Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don't think that's accurate at all.

However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here... It's way, way more complicated than just "calories in/calories out". Even the extent to which it's unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.

Congrats!!! It's looking great so far, love the low bandwidth aspect.

My Lemmy instance seems to have been abandoned, and it's been slowly losing functionality over the last few months. So, I've been begrudgingly trying to decide on a new one for when this one fails entirely... Piefed seems like it'd be a great choice, except I'll definitely need to wait until it either works with a Lemmy app, has its own app, or at least has a PWA. Anyway, great work!! Lovely to see multiple interoperable platforms shaping up.

One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you're a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it's misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.

For the One Piece fans here, I'm getting the impression that it's like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we're watching that next for sure.

They don't seem to have much presence here as far as I've been able to tell. It's a very purple state so you'd think all the orgs would be here, but they're really not.

As I understand it, a lot of the leftists I associate with don't like them very much? Mostly of the anarchist variety. I don't actually know what the story is there though, it seems more personal than just ideological differences. This is really unfortunate because they're the only leftist group that's actually doing significant work where I live. None of the other groups have any presence here, so it's PSL or bust.

The reason you can't afford food is because precariousness is baked into the system, it's a necessary component to force people to participate in capitalism largely against their will, whether they realize it or not. So, in that sense, surviving in any other way than by selling your labor is at least a little revolutionary, isn't it?

There's a Matrix chat for it, but it's just as quiet as here unfortunately: #ibis:matrix.org

Oooh maybe that community that's learning Rust and ActivityPub at the same time should take it on as a project? [email protected]

 
 

Hi c/FreeCAD, totally newbie here! I'm having a ton of fun learning FreeCAD, but I have a small question. I know the toponaming problem is going away soon, and maybe that makes this kind of irrelevant, but I'd still like to know.

Sometimes when I'm watching or reading guides on avoiding the toponaming problem, the person will say something along the lines of: "actually this technique is also more professional/proper/correct anyway, real engineers do it this way." Basically that the methods that avoid the problem are also just best practices in general. But they always say that as kind of an aside, and I wish they'd say more! What makes those methods better? Does anyone have any suggestions for articles or videos about this?

For one example, there was one guide that suggested you should use a datum plane instead of referencing one of the object's surfaces. I understand the toponaming problem well enough to get why referencing a surface can cause it. However, the person in the guide used the same surface that would have been referenced, as the attachment point for the datum plane. Why does that not produce the same issue?

 

So about half a year ago somebody posted about Faircamp, a self-hosted open source alt for Bandcamp. It's really awesome, but I thought people might also want to know about a new one called Mirlo. This one is also open source, so it could ostensibly be self-hosted if you wanted, but the main thing is that it's got this flagship hosted option. Very similar to the Bandcamp experience, from the musician side. No techy stuff required at all, so I think this one might be way more user friendly for non-tech savvy folks!

AFAIK, neither Faircamp nor Mirlo have integrated ActivityPub support yet, but it seems entirely possible. Both do currently support subscription via RSS. Honestly I kinda feel like both platforms should collaborate, if they aren't already!

Maybe they could even get hooked up with RadioFreeFedi and do like featured artists and stuff.

EDIT: it's back up!!! ❤

Maybe they're doing maintenance or something, I hope. I should have thought ahead and followed whoever maintains it on another platform, so I could find out what's going on in situations like this. Oops lol

 

I wish I'd taken a picture... I saw a ditto just chillin' totally undisguised, so I caught it. You know how with a disguised ditto, it does the whole "Oh, what's this? It was actually a ditto!" thing? Well after I caught this undisguised ditto, it did that and turned into a Zorua instead!

I tried briefly googling this phenomenon and found a single mention of somebody seeing an untransformed ditto in the wild, but they didn't catch it, and nobody in the comments had an explanation. What in the world just happened?

 

Can't believe none of these have been posted yet lol.

 

This time of year, there's a zillion of these loudly and clumsily zooming around right outside my backdoor. They're very curious about everything that moves; they'll just like stare you down, hovering a foot in front of your face. Too cute!! They are also kinda eating the landlords mudroom... but so slowly that I'm pretty sure it hardly matters? You just can't be mad at these little fuzzballs! Worth it for the pollination anyway.

 

I got these as bare-root saplings a couple years old, and planted them last year. One actually bloomed and produced some berries the same year I planted it! These things sure are prolific. This year, they're all already blooming.

I tried a couple things with the handful of berries from last year, i.e. just eating them raw, making juice, jam, etc. Raw was (somewhat predictably) not very good, but the juice and jelly were great. Also, while I don't at all mind supplementing the diets of local fauna, it was nice that the birds actually left us some! Unlike my elderberries, which they picked clean so fast we didn't get a single one lol.

 

This system is really cool, but it seems like not that many people are playing it. I think the name "suited" is probably not helping the matter... While clever, it makes it kinda hard to google.

It's somewhat of a "rules-lite" type, with all the pros and cons that come with that. One of those cons being that most things are sort of up to the GM's judgement, and I am very new to GMing. With a lot of other similarly rules-lite systems, there's a community offering their experiences and things they found helpful. Suited doesn't seem to have much of that, but maybe some people here have played it and would like to share?

 

Trying to get the hang of celtic tatting, just working freehand for now. Real celtic tatting patterns are surprisingly uncommon! There are a lot of cool faux ones, but those won't teach me to use these shuttles. It doesn't look very good at all, trying to keep in mind it's just for practice.
