  • There was a discussion about "ghost communities" a few days ago:

    https://feddit.uk/post/24499702

    People are quick to create communities but they sit unused, attract few posts and fewer subscribers. Often the mods move on so even if new posts were to appear they'd be unmoderated.

    The simple reason for that is there isn't enough demand. Lemmy is still small it's too early to be spinning out ever more narrowed niche communities. If you think content belongs elsewhere then report it to the mods and let them decide. If they see a surge in unwanted Q&A topics then they can amend posting guidelines to direct people elsewhere or to a Q&A thread or something.

  • Creating a new community for one question is insane.

    If there's a surge in questions not relevant to 90% of readers then sure but Lemmy isn't there yet

  • DNS being centralised is kind of inevitable.

    People dislike Cloudflare because it has reached a scale that's concerning but as far as I'm aware they've never abused their dominance.

    Quad9 is often recommended as an alternative to the large players

  • Pretty sure the staff are just giving guests the figurines and then management are surprised that guests thought they were gifts.

  • They're completely irrelevant to the average person.

    If you want absolute perfection then sure, stick with Chrome but implying Firefox on GrapheneOS is insecure is misinformation.

  • Pretty sure it's 3rd April

  • Honesty is a lost art

  • What would be the point of sucking up to the current iteration of the US? They'll stab you in the back regardless.

    It's a clear time to increase unity with Europe. I don't mean re-open any EU discussions, simply work with them on united response to Russian aggression.

  • I'm not really familiar with any of this, but if they want to keep this stuff private why bother to publish it on public mailing lists?

  • it's configurable per-crate, not per-compilation. So you can depend on crates that use different editions than your crate. Which avoids ecosystem fragmentation.

    Thanks! That pre-empted my next question of how quickly crates typically update to newer editions. I guess it doesn't matter

  • Is there an easy way of seeing the preceding emails in a threaded format?

    I read some posted yesterday that were related but it's damn confusing whether the conversation has been active in between?

  • You didn't screw up, you beautifully proved why the CLI is never a simple solution.

  • It's right there alongside diaspora

  • A ghost community doesn't really affect anyone.

    But if people do want bustling communities they just need to give them broader appeal and only splinter into niches when the demand arises.

    For example rather than creating a community for a specific British 1960s sci-fi TV show. An existing retro TV community is probably sufficient, or failing that a general TV community.

  • Interestingly the couches are the sturdiest things I own. Exceptionally high quality ones that I imagine are well outside what I would have budgeted, but they came with the house.

    My plan with the IKEA tat is to upgrade pieces gradually as they reach end of life.

    The first upgrade will be the Billy shelving unit in my ensuite which no longer has any reliable cross bracing. The particle board swells with steam from the shower and I've moved it a few times to get to junction boxes beneath the floor so all the screws have loosened.

  • It's not going to happen. Labour need to put funds towards fixing the NHS and other state services systems that have been systematically dismantled by the conservatives.

    With America isolating itself times are uncertain so funding has to be set aside to deal with inevitable turmoil.

    Finally, European nations need to decide whether to accept America handing Ukraine over to Russia or if they continue to support Ukraine. Even if Europe withdraws resources from Ukraine there needs to be a reassessment of military spending because NATO doesn't look particularly reliable right now.

    There simply won't be anything left to pledge towards a climate revolution.

  • I watched the first few minutes of that video and it's super depressing. My home is full of mostly IKEA junk and they've not aged well.

    However, I did buy these pieces because they were cheap and functional. In the modern world most people aren't settling in a single place for long. So our furniture doesn't need to last as long.

  • For anyone like me who hasn't seen an edition change before, it's just a mechanism for bundling breaking changes together and making them opt-in.

    We are excited to announce that the Rust 2024 Edition is now stable! Editions are a mechanism for opt-in changes that may otherwise pose a backwards compatibility risk.
