DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED

• vote early if you can
• tell your friends to vote early
• contact your local campaign and see if you can help – it’s not too late!

I didn’t; I made the chart almost a year ago, click on the link above it to see the 11-month-old comment.

Lemmy had around 1000 active users for the first half of 2023.

I was expecting to start the batton running, and pass it off to the next idea, or the continuation of the idea.

I think I see what you’re saying. Lemmy is indeed a place where it’s very easy to get involved, and people get involved in different ways. A lot of us just pick a community and start posting regularly. Some of us adopt dormant communities and bring them back to life. Others contribute by becoming mods or admins or setting up their own instances or debugging/coding. Even those people who were giving you reasons why the “transfer your account easily” project was difficult, they were helping you by telling you the challenges involved. Whenever a well-run project is started, you think about the hurdles, risks, and mitigations, then integrate those into your project plan.

I encourage you to keep getting involved. The trick is to find the right level of involvement for you, then sticking with it and seeing it through.

What I do to get around that is: subscribe to communities that are not memes, news, or tech, then read new posts by “subscribed” and “scaled”. When I run out of those, read “all” to find new communities to subscribe to.

We should call it “X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter.” Every time. Yes it sounds ridiculous, because it is.

Yeah! I submitted my first timestamps a couple weeks ago, and I got really into it, making it so the timestamps were timed just right. But in this case I was so grossed out by this techbro ad in the middle of this amazing movie, that I just clicked the window closed and went on to watch something else.

It’s a killer movie, but it’s got ads embedded in the stream… even ublock origin and sponsorblock didn’t catch them.

ROCKERS: full movie. Just watch the first 3 minutes.

I wouldn’t do version control that way, but I’ve used Word to keep track of what I’m working on during integration tasks. It’s nice because you can drop in code, error messages, and screen captures. E.g.: the tool looks like this: (image) but gives an error like this: (error message) and I think the problem is in file.py around lines XYZ: (code snippet) when I run the command (command used), and I think the answer is in (a couple links I found).

I’ll just be happy when we never have to see that guy’s face in the news again.

If you take a Boeing spacecraft, you risk ending up in the ocean anyway.

The article doesn’t say what type of testing they did. Clearly it wasn’t enough.

Why are they all Cathode Ray Tubes? The father should be a flat-screen and the kid should be a phone screen.

Wait, is this the same thing we were ridiculing over on 196? https://lemmy.world/post/18120973

I would abandon the friendship as a pointless endeavor

You’re in luck, you can subscribe to an AI friend instead. _/s

If they gave two captchas, one which they knew the answer and one which they didn’t, they could use the second for training. (Even if you’re paying someone, you want to do that sort of thing when crowdsourcing data, because you never know if the paid person is just screwing around.)

To do a super upvote you can give Lemmy gold.

There you have it! The killer app for home robotics! This is exactly what everybody’s been calling for. _/s
