I'm modelling a pencil holder version of the star projector at the planetarium I volunteer for.

 

Openscad wanted about 25 gig of RAM to crunch this.

Wow, that laptop was my family's computer growing up. Star Gate nostalgia hits different here.

The book "Talking to Strangers" by Malcolm Gladwell does an excellent job of explaining how access to convenient means of suicide increase rates, which contradicts the common argument that suicidal people will find other means to die if guns are less accessible. It turns out suicidal behavior is often situation and time specific, and removing tools for self harm means better chances of improvement.

 

HB 111 (What is a Woman) is on the Senate agenda tomorrow (#20 out of 35 total bills). HB 167 (mandatory filters on devices) is #18 on the calendar and HB 195 (anti sex ed) is #19.

Thank you for the tips.

I'm a moderator on the community where I encountered the spambot account, and already banned it there. My question is wondering how I can report the user upstream to the instance admins. I'm not very familiar with Lemmy, I see that there's a modlog, so perhaps the SDF admins would need to monitor it and act based on the user getting banned from one of their communities?

 

Hi,

I have a tiny newsfeed community here on SDF. We got a spam comment by another user registered on the instance. Looking at the account, all it does is link spam. Is there a process to flagging the account for moderation at the instance level, rather than flagging to block in individual communities?

Account in question: https://lemmy.sdf.org/u/dordle12

Erin Kissane has an excellent article on why Meta doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Meta/Facebook has had power over social media before and displayed incredible disregard for human life, much less anything else related to healthy communities.

To treat Threads the same as a brand new instance and federate with it is a mistake.

I use both and rarely ever make use of file storage on nextcloud. Syncthing is awesome software.

Nope. That website's toxicity was one of the largest hurdles to learning to write software for me.

Me too :( Since about 2017 I've been telling myself I'll get around to cleaning them.

I'm not too happy about them either. To some extent I think I avoid organizing them because leaving them as tabs makes them more "pressing" for me to some day get to reading. I'm like a failed data hoarder/archivist.

I agree. I think it's more of an organizational deficiency for me.

 

And remember.. it's not a race!

 
 

Started this morning. All of my personal tools like nextcloud and RSS reader were blocked, and I had to go manually override that screen for each one. Unacceptable.
