And then there’s the trending section.
That's just a bug the Lemmy project software that isn't being given any priority by the current developers. Hopefully someone takes the time to submit a fix to the code.
I took the comment you replied to as a suggestion to make the spotlight change weekly because people are not always on Lemmy World everyday.
That makes more sense than my initial interpretation, but why the random aspect at all?
You mean "arbitrary", not "random" right?
I don't see how a randomly chose picture from reddit would be something the user would likely be interested in.
No one has problems with not backing up their data until they find themselves in a position where backing up their data could have saved a lot of grief.
Two people talking about the games is how it starts. I'm in a Discord server that was basically just two people chatting for years before it took off. Now it's 1,800 people with around 50 that interact daily. That have meetups a few times a year too.
I recommend making an account on the instance of the community you're moderating as owner due to wierd federation effects on moderation actions.
Academic fraud is in no way a thing that is limited or even disproportionately prevalent in China. Perhaps the flavors of it are biased to one form or another in different cultures, but don't mistake that for more or less fraud in that culture. Perhaps you notice more from China simply because there are simply more Chinese people in the world than any other nation behind Indian people in India.
Incentives matter in any system. The incentives are perverse right now.
There was a whole season of The Wire that was dedicated to the theme of news publications demanding that more be done with less as budgets were cut. Craigslist was a major factor in the trend as it cut revenue severely for local publications.
It would be great if corn got that feature
There's a variety of maize that does fix nitrogen:

There are some political and technical hurdles to adapting it more broadly to the agricultural industry.

Maybe @[email protected] would be interested in helping people there.
Thanks for the feedback. I bought a fine nib version since I made the post and I have been using it on a regular graph composition notebook and I see that it bleeds through and has a lot of ghosting. I have no reference for how a fountain pen could write so I guess its alright as far as feel goes. I did order a notebook made by Midori from Amazon. It will be my first experience with a higher quality paper with the Preppy.
I also like having the edit post choice right next to the delete post choice, especially since there's no confirmation dialogue when selecting delete post.
These look like they spent the whole budget on the logo and large numbers, and the rest of the jersey is an afterthought
Hey @[email protected] I'm not going to do this every game, but I wanted to give you a chance to see the game thread.
Relevant information:
GovTrack.us posted about the bill in question:
Appropriations legislation covering a bit less than half of the overall funding needs of the federal government was passed by the Senate 75-22 around dinner time on Friday 3/8. The bill was signed the next morning by the President. Even though technically Biden did so after the Friday midnight deadline, the government never shutdown for even a few hours.
The Science section of the bill contains the majority of the Science related appropriations.
GovTrack.us also provided links to summaries of the bill from The New York Times by Catie Edmondson and The American Prospect by David Dayen.
I think that's a ways out for the current web UIs. I think some of the mobile apps do it, but I don't use any of them.
I have multiple accounts set up for that reason. If you use a different instance for each one you can switch between accounts by simply visiting the URL of that instance. Works out pretty nicely for me.
More Moderators?
It seems like there are 3 of you here that have sprouted the beginning of an active community. Would any or all of you like to be moderators? I'm also open to turning over ownership of this community as well. Let me know what you all think.
Some constellations can be as familiar as old friends. Learn about three of them in March's Night Sky Notes!
Don't be fooled by its humble looks—the Platinum Preppy is an extraordinarily inexpensive yet high quality pen. We explain its special design, how to fill it with ink, and profile each version of this popular pen.
I was looking into it after I posted a question earlier, and found this very thorough description of the Platinum Preppy line of products. Much better presentation compared to the Platinum website or the Platinum US distributor website (which has information about a different product line on the preppy page).
Is The Platinum Preppy Fine Nib Fountain Pen a Mistake for A First Time Buyer?
I've never owned or used a fountain pen before, but I saw that these are less than $6 a piece and refill cartridges look pretty cheap too.
Are these worth buying for a first timer or are they an invitation to a souring experience for a noob?
The Toronto Maple Leafs' recent focus on 'grit' is proving costly to addressing their depth scoring issues during the 2023-24 season.

The New Jersey Devils results in back-to-back games have not been good and are due for an improvement in 2023-24.
> The New Jersey Devils have certainly not met their sky-high expectations this season. As it stands, they sit fifth in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 19-13-2 — which, while sturdy in a vacuum, just isn’t cutting it in a stacked division. They sit in the second wild card spot, and with games at hand, they likely find themselves in a comfortable playoff spot soon. Still, the Devils entered 2023-24 as a favorite to win the Stanley Cup, and the team’s record simply does not match those expectations. > > While the team has struggled to play up to the level they did last season, there’s an argument to be made that their record is less reflective of their play than it is on the schedule. For example, the Devils have the most back-to-backs in the league this season with 16. While yes, every team has back-to-backs in their schedule, it does seem as though the Devils have gotten the short end of the stick this season.

Breaking down NHL Edge data: How important is shot speed and location?
Do teams with harder shots score more goals above expected? Where do the most goals come from? Let's break it down.
A few weeks ago, the NHL finally unleashed its long-awaited player tracking data onto the public. Now it’s time to dissect what it all means.
Sometimes, all it means is “that’s cool!” — and that’s OK. Sometimes a fun little tidbit is all a stat has to be. But it’s still worth looking into how meaningful all the new numbers are and what bucket they fall into: relevant info or interesting trivia.
Each new stat poses its own interesting questions worth answering and that’s the goal of this series; diving into the new data to see how much it matters.
Let’s talk about shooting.

Devils Host Hispanic Night
The New Jersey Devils will host their Hispanic Heritage Night presented by Hijole!

Additionally, the Devils are partnering with the NHL Espanol account on X (formerly Twitter) for the third year in a row for some fun social media coverage of the night.
