very nice! i've been using the fork for a while now, and it's been rock solid. glad to see it will be available on fdroid soon.

[-] smorks@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

thank you, at least that clears things up.

that article is super confusing. the first paragraph reads:

Canada has reversed course after initially blocking a Russian anti-war activist from receiving citizenship because she had run afoul of Moscow’s harsh laws criminalizing dissent over the invasion of Ukraine.

which makes it sound like they allowed her to be a citizen, but the rest of the article is about how it didn't let her.

it doesn't appear to be easy to do either of those, from some quick testing. Looks like the <p></p> tags have bottom spacing which is causing the issue, mainly, at least in lemmy's case. weird.

i think if you put less whitespace in between it will format a bit better?

Hello All,

Our current admins have busy lives, but we want to make sure we're still on top of growing and maintaining lemmy.ca. As such we've decided to add two new admins to help out. Please welcome @otter@lemmy.ca and @mp3@lemmy.ca. Both have been active with generating reports and keeping the site free from spammers and trolls, and both have experience moderating other communities too. We are confident they will help make the site even better!

if it's winter and really cold I'll let the car run for a bit before going. also have to clear ice/snow off the car sometimes too.

it sounds to me according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XWiimote that you might just need to run modprobe hid-wiimote and it just might work?

The second sentence says:

This driver is part of upstream Linux since version 3.1.

I use youmail free too. I doubt it's very privacy respecting, but it does the trick for the few voicemails I get.

I built my own a while back using twilio and my own android app, but gave up on it, can't remember why exactly anymore.

[-] smorks@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

no, it works fine on my non-rooted phone.

i just tested this here: https://lemmy.ca/comment/2308379

and am seeing the same issue. deleting the root comment removes the entire comment chain. i didn't notice it at first because (i'm assuming) i'm an admin and can see deleted posts/comments, but when I checked it when not logged in the entire comment chain was indeed gone. and once i un-deleted the comment it was back.

i then deleted a non-root comment, and now it behaves even differently, with a link saying "2 more replies" but when you click on it it just spins forever. will check to see if there's already a bug related to this issue and report back.

edit: created an issue here, couldn't find any existing issues: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3886

This is a little late, but I figure that it's better late than never!

For full transparency, I'm just going to give a high level overview of the financial situation of lemmy.ca through June 2023, when I started to accept donations.

Total Expenses: $30.00

This includes all hosting fees, including backups, etc.

Total Contributions: $1,503.03

  • $1,184.84 through LiberaPay
  • $318.19 through OpenCollective

All contribution amounts are not including payment processor and/or OpenCollective fees.

Remaining Balance: $1,473.03

I plan on transferring the remaining balance to the new admin team, whenever they are ready to accept it.

Thank you to all that have contributed so far, I couldn't have gotten the instance to where it is now without your generosity. I'm very excited to see what comes next and look forward to watching the instance grow more!

[-] smorks@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

essentially, yes. Google Talk was based on XMPP.

There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

i should have added it here a while ago!
