I think Eupatorium cannabinum

From Wikipedia:

Eupatorium cannabinum contains tumorigenic pyrrolizidine alkaloids.

Woah!

I would like to make a list at some point with several community integrations and ask my instance's users whether they would like some of them installed into the instance. This application will definitely go on that list! I do need to take into consideration how many resources each of the apps consume, to make sure I don't bloat my server. But this one seems quite light. Is it?

The votes themselves are the federated action.

If you fetch an old post, your instance will not see the previous voters. After that, whenever a user votes the instance will get the message "User X@instance upvoted/downvoted post Y" and the vote will be added to the database with the voter's user ID and counted.

This has a practical function. If you don't keep a list specifying who voted for what, it would be much easier to fake votes from one instance to another by simply communicating the message "Downvote post Y". With the current method it is still possible to create a lot of fake accounts and mass-vote, but at least you can get a better insight when looking at the database if the votes are associated with accounts with no activity from a single instance.

There are some federated platforms that will show who likes / dislikes something. I know that friendica used to do this - I have not checked if it still does. So it is not only admins who can see this, this is is basically open information in the fediverse.

Are you working on top of a template? I drop some pixels if you'd like!

Nooo, I just recently discovered NewPipe 😔

[-] Sal@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Woah. That is a lot sooner than I had anticipated.

Yeah, I still see the line now. I am not sure if this was a one-off, maybe the edit occurred when I rebooted the instance for a moment and the edit fell through the cracks... Or there might be an actual issue federating edits.

Yeah, at least Lemmy tries to warn users not to use the DMs to send sensitive or private information, and suggests using a dedicated encrypted messenger instead:

The developers are very busy developing lemmy-specific features and encrypted DMs would be a lot of work to create something that is a bit redundant. But I am sure that if someone would want to make that, they would appreciate that help.

Not that I particularly trusted reddit, but at least it was 1 corporation with (hopefully) some solid security procedures in place, and potential penalties for data breaches. Whereas in Lemmy, it might just be 2 random guys.

Personally I wouldn't trust 2,000 random guys any more than 2 random guys. I assume any of my unencrypted communications are public.

I hope you managed to find the button! It is this one:

And to answer the original question... Of course! Who would say no to math memes?! Math memes are always welcome.

Car crashes are one of the main sources of traumatic brain injuries. I think that it is likely that someone who is wearing a helmet during a car crash would be protected to a degree from TBIs, so I looked a bit for a source on this and found this relevant blog post:

Op-Ed: Yes, Gov. Cuomo, Car Helmets Could Save Lives

Fortunately here in the Netherlands we don't have to bike with a helmet on. Would I be supposed to leave it hanging from my bike, exposed to the rain and theft? Or carry it with me into the shops and bars and keep an eye on it? Sounds like a nuisance.
