very much so, just look at the corners

as well as what @jjagaimo said, there is also a scaled weight based on time since activity that is applied to hot/scaled sorting that allows things to bubble to the top but to slowly sink as they get older

Problems with creating my own instance

I am currently trying to create my own Lemmy instance and am following the join-lemmy.org docker guide. But unfortunately docker compose up doesn't work with the default config and throw's a yaml: line 32: found character that cannot start any token error. Is there something I can do to fix this?...

American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse?

Hi there, I'm a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I'm seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons. I was considering moving to Israel since I'm Jewish and I've heard they have a better healthcare system there and pay nurses well but this war has made me not really...

Thoughts on New Zealand or Austrailia?

@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

here in NZ I'd say we are much more progressive than the states, although we have a centre right government at the moment.

you will earn less than the US I would think, but I would hope that our quality of life is better.

Safety? not every second person is carrying a sidearm or protesting with an AR style firearm

I'm so tired of hearing about US police brutality and China being authoritarian. Why does it feel like everyone is a hypocrite here? Where are the posts about Chinese protests and police brutality?

I bet if the kind of things happening in the US happened in China, I wouldn't be able to stop hearing about it. I mean, people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn't anything happened since then? It's like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy's assassination or 9/11, those are old news.

in the communities i hang in here there a a good few that must be in their 50s (and i'm one of them).

just look at the number of posts in the *nix and self hosting communities for comments about pre and early linus users, or selfhosting email back in the day , or bsd/unix usage

I just wonder how up and downvoting would work since that would go very differently from Lemmy.

how so?

I created a board game alternative for evil people ( lemmy.today )

Guys, I have something to brag about. After almost a year of hard learning, I finally created my first mobile game! Storiado is a board game alternative that will make you wonder what's wrong with your friends. Play by answering simple questions, mix all the answers, and generate the most twisted story you've ever read. And then...

well for me:

  • just passed 50 last month
  • been kicking around 'PCs' since the vic-20
  • buun using linux since Mandrake Helios (6.1)
  • have self hosted all sorts (including email for nearly 10 yrs, not any more other than a relay for my lemmy)
  • had a mastodon instance for about 2-3 years - but use mastodon.nz
  • spun up my instance of lemmy just as the exodus started
  • been into tinkering with electronics from childhood

I guess that puts me in the the tech group that seems very common here

other groups that seem well represented are the 'left' and lgbqt+

i think ive seen a few in your age bracket. there seems to be a good amount that must be around the 50+ mark

meh, it's those of us that are entering into our 50's that drove piracy in the early '90s and '00s. Hell, we were copying floppies in the 80s.

You youngins don't know how lucky you are, we had to push our bits up hill in both directions, in bare feet and the rain

Driving in Japan ( jemmy.jeena.net )

Driving in Japan with the wheel on the right side. The first time I did that last year I drove on the wrong side of the road about 5 times and got a shock every time when I saw all the ghost drivers just to quickly realize that it's me who is driving the wrong way. This year it only happened one time, so my brain seems to adapt...

Not almost cut my thumb off, the fucking thing ached like I don't know what, espitally while my wife was squeezing my hand during the ceremony.

I would like less micro-blog and more old-school blog with the really good threading/comments of lemmy, and the communities of lemmy (maybe magazines of Kbin/Mbin)

Well the documentation is very nice and filled out.

I think I'll spin up a test container for a project that my Mrs is starting on that I was going to put on wordpress with federation.

Downloading/torrenting kids cartoons

Hey all. noob-ish pirate here. Skipping long winded post. I'm struggling to find sources to download/torrent kids cartoons. Some are easy, but I'm looking for paw patrol and it's scarce on 1337. The more modern stuff and the super popular stuff are a little easier though. Not really any information on the Wiki about this stuff....

I just (in the last week or two) deleted all the pawpatrol / ladybug / bluey torrents as the kids have outgrown them...

Our first daughter had a old smart phone at about 8 (she has just turned 9). It doesn't have data turned on, so is more or less a dumb phone unless she is at home. I don't think her little sister could care less about getting one.

I think that it's good for her to have one as it means she can contact us if she goes up the road to her friends or park/shop.

She doesn't have it for at school or general day to day life - so it may not be the best example

Good on them for having/gaining the strength to come out and go through a process that must be very difficult. Shame on people that call it out as a posable bad thing and attempting to shame them
