The Lemmy devs honestly probably need a significant change in priorities or even a fork. They also seem to be ignoring relatively simple performance fixes that would have huge effects on the cost of instance hosting. If you think about it 60k users really shouldn't cost that much to host. See @RoundSparrow's thread about it here: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2971578
Some easily shared graphics would still be super useful.
Important to note: linked crossposting does not currently work with discussion posts, just links.
Nope. Totally unrelated. I assume this is the thread you're talking about: https://lemmy.world/post/1809693
To be clear, the article is talking about correlations in polling, not suggesting you strike up conversations with your neighbors.
I believe this is the paper that got everybody talking about it recently: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.01850.pdf
Big ole shot in the dark here, but is it The Love Witch?
I think this is so disingenuous. There's such a huge difference between being actively tracked and monetized in ways that are explicitly hidden from you vs all of your posts being intrinsically public and cached. To act like the first is fine and the second is risky is just big tech propaganda.
I have been really surprised by how little progress Mastodon has made in terms of features. Especially compared to something like Calckey.
One of the biggest improvements I noticed after switching to smart lights and home assistant was how much better my sleep got when I used a circadian light cycle. I don't think we realize how important the gradual shift is in triggering the release of sleep chemicals (not my field lol, just my experience).
Just a fun aside take a look at WLED for LED controls. My use case is not particularly practical but they are pretty cheap and lots of fun. That said I bet some smart folk have probably used it for various sorts of indicator lights.
One big issue with the existing cross-posting feature is that it does not work AT ALL with text based posts, just links.
