NHL’s outdoor tradition continues in Seattle with Winter Classic
  • Gah, so excited! Weather should be good right?

  • Steam Deck OLED announced
  • It's smart. Also, developers have a solid benchmark to set their games to. Console has long had the benefit of a stable hardware set over the course of many years, which makes it easier to develop to the broadest possible market. Skipping incremental APU updates has a benefit of keeping a longer benchmark for game developers hoping to boost sales by targeting the market with handhelds. Valve was pretty clear in their communication in this regard, which is great.

  • I will be testing the game day bot today (for real....)
  • Hey there! Thank you for your work on this bot. I'm in the process of installing a version of it for the Seattle Kraken community this morning.

    I ran into a plemmy bug, but I submitted a pull request and the dev merged it and pushed a version update (0.3.10) in a matter of minutes, so that was awesome. Still trying to get the config.py to run correctly so it prompts me for my bot user creds/community url/etc, but this is because I haven't had any experience working with python and very little working with git based distributions.

  • Smart. Flush money down the toilet trying to impersonate Trump by not paying your bills. Maybe he should run for president.

  • Iowa-Iowa State rivalry remains college football’s worst ... name-wise, that is
  • Hasn't been cy-hawk for me for a long while. It is, and always will be, El Assico. It's derivative, yes, but it's also perfect.

  • Oddly, I don't feel disgusted about having a robust list of blocked users, communities, and domains on the fediverse. Instead it actually feels like I have some level of control over what I see, rathe
  • One of the things I miss about RES is the ability to tag users with my own labels. When I would run into someone with a "ahole 20230830" tag, I knew that on 2023/08/30, I had labeled them as an asshole (in case I wanted to look back at their comment history to see what exactly was so egregious) and their opinions could safely be ignored.

  • PSA: You can upload images to a Lemmy instance without anyone knowing
  • Yeah, it's been acknowledged and solutions have been discussed as future Todos

    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3504

    I imagine it should be prioritized though, along with some of the other malicious upload issue mitigation bugs.

  • [Game] Baldur's Gate 3 - Patch 2 is "just around the corner", and includes lots of performance updates
  • My deck is more reliable at booting at all. I've got some sort of issue happening. I'm not sure if my video card is going or something, it doesn't like sharing memory, or what, but it crashes constantly on my PC.

    Steamdeck is worse performance, but at least I can play it...

  • It's amazing how much more functional we are as a whole when we're medicated
  • I'm kind of in this boat myself now and am thinking about if I should try to get diagnosed. Had it not been for adhd memes on Reddit and here I would never have identified the commonalities. I feel like it might be a stretch, but my procrastination is legendary around the house and my flaws seem pretty ADHD symptoms.

    I've just feared seeking a diagnosis in that it might have negative repercussions on my life, (which I generally like as is), but I'm giving it more thought now.

  • The Oatmeal: The Terrible & Wonderful Reasons I Run
  • I cherish my "I believe in the blerch" tech tee.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Yep. This is a huge burden on the poorest in our society and basically means the poorest will never be able to afford bond and the richest will always be able to afford bond. At both ends of the spectrum, bond is basically meaningless. If someone is sufficiently rich, if they want to run, they will, regardless of if $200k is forfeit. If someone is sufficiently poor, they'll never be able to afford to be out of jail, even if they have no intention on running. I'm not saying that Trump is, in fact, a flight risk, but bond is stupid and if someone should be in jail, then they should be in jail or if they should not be in jail, then they should not be in jail. I know it's an imperfect system living in an imperfect world, but can someone please come up with some sort of technology mechanism so that the current bond system is rendered obsolete, please?

    I feel like the answer is making jail/prison less of a fucking tortuous experience (ala the Scandinavian model), but some people seem to think that jail/prison being the worst possible place to be is a feature, not a bug. If jail were less torturous, then it would be conceivable for rich people who deserve jail to have to go there while awaiting trial and the bond system could be done away with...but that would mean making it nicer for everyone, so probably won't happen.

  • Game thread bot
  • Lol, yeah. I haven't done much, but want to get our ducks in a row before the start of the season, when I'll likely be more in-tune to the happenings at the club. I want to just make sure that anyone coming over from the old-world will have a functioning and capable replacement. Hopefully when things get going for the season, our membership will jump up and we'll get some good conversations going. Right now, lemmy is good for "general content" but pretty light on smaller communities. My goal is to present this place as a fully functional replacement so that when a user switches, they don't have to go back to scratch that itch.

    Daily thread might be ambitious given the number of subscribers currently, but I'm not opposed to starting that as well. I'll look into it.

  • Paul Holvey recall petition gatherers lying
  • It's a union, I think, not some mystery thing. Their constituents got boned when promised legislation got killed in committee so they are trying to recall the guy in charge of the committee.

  • Game thread bot

    Howdy folks! This week I'll be looking at the setup some lemmy bots to support the community as we start getting into games and news. First thing will be auto game threads. Second would be a sidebar updater with standings and upcoming games. Are there any other regular posts that we should consider posting here as a matter of course? Weekly pinned general threads? Any thoughts?

    Paul Holvey recall petition gatherers lying
  • Yeah, seems like sour grapes to me. I could be wrong but it's more normal political shecanery, which may not be great, but that sounds like "primary him next election thing" not a "recall him now thing."

  • Linus Tech Tips pauses production as controversy swirls | What started as criticism over errors in recent YouTube videos has escalated into allegations of sexual harassment, prompting the company t...
  • Yeah, while it is annoying, I know there is a whole art form to those thumbnail images and there are other people I respect that are worse about them. I think they've talked pretty openly about how those are simply the annoying part of being in the YouTube business and if they didn't, they would just be leaving views on the table.

  • Which way looks more comfortable as you wait for your coffee?

    how about we shift that attention into laws and infrastructure that penalize this behavior by corporations

    Completely agree, this is what we should be focusing on. YOUR CAR isn't doing shit. ALL OF OUR CARS collectively are doing shit. You can change your behavior and feel better about yourself, but this problem was caused by laws, oil money lobbying, and the resulting policy. Laws and policy are the way out of it, not making people feel bad about their "choices."

  • Senators who walked out can’t run next year

    www.opb.org Oregon secretary of state: Senators who walked out can’t run next year

    Lawmakers have been waiting for weeks to learn how new Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade will enforce a new law enacted by voters last year.

    Oregon secretary of state: Senators who walked out can’t run next year

    Republican senators who walked away from this year's legislative session will be barred from running for reelection next year, according to Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade. The decision was made after months of speculation and is likely to be challenged in court by the GOP lawmakers.

    Measure 113, which was passed by voters last year, was designed to curtail legislative walkouts by imposing serious penalties on lawmakers who accrue 10 or more unexcused absences in a single legislative session. Under the measure, any such politician would be banned from running for reelection or seeking election in the other chamber once their current term expires.

    However, Republicans argue that the measure is flawed because it allows lawmakers to serve another term before the penalties take effect. They are planning to challenge the new ruling in the Oregon Court of Appeals.

    Governor Tina Kotek, who wrangled with a Republican walkout as House speaker in 2020, agrees with Griffin-Valade that the voters intended for lawmakers who don't show up for work to be held accountable. She believes the court will ultimately decide the matter.

    [Activity] Eugene Chess Club - Tuesdays@6pm (Bill and Tim's)

    Just wanted to put it out there, if you're looking for something to do and enjoy a game of chess, there's the Eugene Chess Club that meets at Bill & Tim's at 6pm on most Tuesdays. Guy who runs it, David, is really chill and it's an enjoyable time with people playing casual games and having a good time. Some are really good, but many, like myself, are middling at best. If you're worried about not being good enough, don't, just come and check it out since there are players of all skills there.

    Bill and Tim's on 13th/Pearl @ 6pm

    Also, hit me up if you want to play a game on lichess :D

    Bedrock Fire Update

    7/23/23 evening update: The Bedrock Fire continues to be active in the Fall Creek area on the Middle Fork District. An updated acreage will be available tomorrow. The fire burned actively today and firefighters from the Oregon Department of Forestry and US Forest Service continued to engage in full suppression efforts and point protection on buildings on private land.

    Resources continued to arrive throughout the day and more will be on the scene tomorrow. While there are no evacuation notices in effect at this time, the public is asked to avoid Big Fall Creek Rd. to allow emergency personnel necessary access for suppression.

    Several campgrounds along Big Fall Creek Rd. are closed due to fire activity. This includes all campgrounds along Fall Creek Road, and surrounding roads. Smoke may be visible from Highway 58, the towns of Lowell, Jasper, and the McKenzie River corridor.

    What is your go to date spot?

    Sorry, I know recommendation posts are divisive, but we haven't had any here so I feel like it might get a free pass. Taking the Mrs out and I'm wondering anyone has recommendations on low key places with activities like lawn games or board games available in a chill atmosphere and some comfortable outdoor space?

    Thinking of places like Alesong or Public House

    What's your go to for date night?

    Shortcut to go to YOUR instance from ANY Sublemmy

    The issue: You find a link to a neat lemmy community on some random instance. In order to subscribe, you have go to your instance, search for the community, find it, open it, subscribe...blah!

    The fix: Use a simple browser bookmark to go to your home instance and open the federated community in one click.

    This works through modifying the URL of the page your on and puts the host name (e.g. lemmy.ml) after an "@" symbol after the community and then changing the host name to your own, hard-coded one.

    How to steps:

    1. Create a bookmark in your browser and then "Edit" it.

    2. Change the URL to this text (modify the "lemmy.world" bit with whatever your home instance is):

      For lemmy.world users: javascript:(function(){location.href="https://lemmy.world/c/"+location.href.match(/(?:.*)\/c\/(.*(?=\/)|.*$)/i)[1]+"@"+location.host.toString();})();

      For lemmy.ml users: javascript:(function(){location.href="https://lemmy.ml/c/"+location.href.match(/(?:.*)\/c\/(.*(?=\/)|.*$)/i)[1]+"@"+location.host.toString();})();

    3. Change the name of the bookmark to whatever you want. Mine is named "lemmy.world".

    !

    1. You're all set!

    Now, from any federated community main feed page, click on the bookmark and you'll magically be taken to the same community on your local instance. Magic!

    _______

    Disclaimers: The community must be federated with your instance. You can only do this from a URL that has the community in url (e.g. not from a post or anything).

    Raison d'etre and request for help

    Hello, I'm here, as I'm sure, are you because of recent actions and plans created by Reddit's admin team to kill 3rd party apps in an effort to bring everything under the official app.

    I'm not much of a mod, but I do want Eugene to have a viable alternative for those who are not happy with the direction that Reddit is headed.

    _____________________________________________

    A primer for how to think about Lemmy and the "federverse":

    • Lemmy is like the world. (e.g. "Lemmy")
    • Lemmy instances are like countries (e.g. lemmy.world, lemmy.ml)
    • Lemmy communities are like cities (e.g. /c/[email protected], /c/[email protected])
    • Users are like citizens

    In this world, citizens have a home country, but can visit, live, and interact using a visa without needing to be a citizen of the country that the city is in. Some countries have different rules for their users. Some countries don't recognize other countries, so their users can't see the other's content, but mostly they play along nicely.

    The KEY TAKEAWAY is that users can be on the "lemmy.world" instance and be a part of communities on any instance without creating a user there.

    The way to refer to communities on other instances in a way that you can interact is to use the URL format of https://{YOUR instance}/c/{communityname}@{COMMUNITY's instance} (e.g. https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]).

    The federation model works well because communities will be spread out across different instances and so there's no ONE service/server that is responsible for ALL of the traffic going on in Lemmy.

    _______________________________________

    I'm requesting that you spread the word about this place, if you feel like it's the right way to go and if anyone would like to help mod or take over entirely, please let me know.

    Cheers @ewe

    Team communities, anyone?

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/79696

    _________________________________

    Noticed a distinct lack of a community for the Bolts, so I went ahead and created one at [email protected]. It got me thinking about other team communities, so I thought it might be helpful to aggregate them all into one post.

    List of Team-Specific Communities:

    NOTE: If a community appears as a 404 page when you click it, it likely means that the community is being hosted outside of the instance you are currently using and that nobody in your instance has viewed or interacted with that specific community yet. In order to address this, you will need to copy-paste the specific handle for the community (for example, [email protected]) into your searchbar so that your instance can "learn" that it exists, after which the community should display via linked URLs without issue. Hopefully this is addressed by the lemmy devs and streamlined in the near future.

    EDIT 6/21: And we now have all teams represented! Starting to feel like home around here. I'll do some work soon to get all these organized in a nice table for easy navigation.

    Garbage Collectors of Lemmy, what is the best way to put out garbage bins for pickup in a cul-de-sac?

    I'm always wondering because I feel like the garbage truck probably has to do a million point turn to get all the bins to line up with the collector arm. We're in the very back of "the sac" and I wonder if I should put things at an angle so you can drive straight in as if you're pulling into my driveway? Am I overthinking this?!?!

    c/[email protected] vs c/[email protected] ??

    I'm on lemmy.world and I see that equivalent communities are also on lemmy.ml, however I cannot see the .ml version in my community search (even with All) selected. Anyone know why this would be? I believe the two instances play well with one another.

    Sorry, I'm...uhh...new here. 😂
