"...could've made it but it's cozy in the rut..."
Do you think kids should be prohibited from using social media? If yes, how should it be done? If no, why?
I saw this article, which made me think about it...
> Kids under 16 to be banned from social media after Senate passes world-first laws
-----
Seeing what kind of brainrot kids are watching, makes me think it's a good idea. I wouldn't say all content is bad, but most kids will get hooked on trash content that is intentionally designed to grab their attention.
What would be an effective way to enforce a restriction with the fewest possible side effects? And who should be the one enforcing that restriction in your opinion?
Oh, I haven't even considered that possibility. As I mentioned before, the PC is old, so anything is possible at this point. I will be testing them again, all at once, but with a different test and see how that goes, if it fails again it could be the controller I guess.
Yeah 1 error with all 4 sticks.
I never really tinkered with voltage settings.
PC is old, so I wouldn't be surprised if things started dying, I'm mostly just trying to pinpoint the broken part so I can remove it.
If you are no longer getting failures, it is possible one of the sticks was loose or had corrosion. The swapping may have "fixed" it.
I also suspected that.
I would test all sticks together once. If they pass, you are good.
Yeah I think I will test them all at once again, maybe with 86+ this time...
Sorry, I'm not sure what you are asking... If I'm running a regular test or an endless test until I get an error?
I was just running the default MemTest86 test from an USB stick.
I'll try the 86+, thank you.
I have not been following PC hardware for a while, but there was a time when RAM slots and the sticks themselves were designed to be used as a pair. Could be something like that?
Hmm, never heard of that. I'll research it a bit.
Also since it’s occasional, could also be corrupted OS file, harddrive/SSD read issue or even a driver issue. Have you looked what errors are in the event log with the BSODs? Is it same or similar each time or completely random?
It is always the same thing. And it is entirely possible that OS is causing it, since the installation is old af, but now my bigger concern is that initial RAM test fail.
Well googling suggested that the problem could be a graphics card driver. So I used DDU to clean the drivers and then I installed fresh ones but it didn't help.
But as I said, the RAM test failed when I did it with all 4 sticks...
Figuring out which RAM stick is faulty
So I've been getting the occasional BSOD and it recently started getting a bit more frequent, so I decided to run a memtest86 over night to check if it's maybe the RAM causing it. I got 1 error, so then I tested each stick, 1 by 1 (every new stick I would test I also put in a different slot) but I only tested first 3 sticks, thinking that the last one is faulty, since they all passed the test, but yesterday I decided to test the last one as well and that one passed as well. So now I'm confused, not sure what to do... I was running on 3 sticks for 2 days and I didn't get BSOD, but that still means nothing because it was rare occurrence anyways.
Should I test all of the sticks again? Is there a better test I should be using instead?
(RAM is not OC'd btw)
Aren't app intents already a thing? It's up to dev to make them functional/useful?
Mastodon's federation consistency is laughably bad. confusing.
Edit: After reading your comments, and testing some more, I must say that I've misunderstood how it all works. I should've thought of Mastodon users like separate Lemmy communities...but not exactly. What confused me is the fact that you could look up a profile on a remote instance and see their posts, but they would be very delayed. On Lemmy, if your instance hasn't "discovered" a community, you wouldn't see it at all.
I followed a random user (whos posts were last synced many days ago), and it started syncing normally (it took ~1h for it to start, but it seems like it worked and now it's syncing their posts "in real time").
-----
By accident I noticed that one instance had more japanese posts in the all feed than the other one. I thought maybe the other instance has certain languages filtered or they might be defederated from certain instances, but neither was the case. I found out that the other instance just fetches the posts from other instances much slower (days).
Then I decided to open 10+ (popular to fairly popular) instances and compare how quickly or slowly they sync with each other.
It's really bad and really random. Some instances sync perfectly with each other, some take hours, some take days, some take months...
I do not use Mastodon but if I did, finding that out would just make me not want to use it.
It reminds me of that time when there was a bug in Lemmy which made the federation broken, and that was very annoying, but we knew that there was a bug and that it was being worked on, and it was fixed fairly quickly.
But on Mastodon, from what I've seen, it doesn't even depend on the version the server is running, it truly just seems random.
It just seems odd to me that Mastodon (more popular and older software than Lemmy) would have such a glaring issue.
Wouldn't that be the first priority of every federated platform? For federation to work properly, because if it doesn't, then it can't compete with the centralized ones at all.
I'm dumb. I assumed it was a mod I was replying to.
Oh, great! I somehow overlooked that community.
I see that you are mainly uploading images to catbox or using direct links of the source image. Which is fine but on the lemmy website, sometimes thumbnails are missing and some posts cannot be expanded so you have to open link in the new tab. That is the only reason why I was asking that question in my post. But it's not a big deal.
What do you think about adding a rule to have Imaginary[something] in the title just so that you could use it as a search query to find specific art, since we don't have all of those separate, specific communities?
I was thinking about having a list of possible Imaginary "categories" in the sidebar, and when someone is making a post, they could just pick one that is fitting.
This is a list from Imaginary network on reddit that I grabbed, that could be potentially used. And you would just pick one subcategory or if you are not sure about specific one, you could put a category instead.

ImaginaryWTF
Haha, I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm simply wondering if having someones artwork uploaded on a lemmy instance (even if credited) can cause copyright issues. I don't really know how that works.
Edit: Maybe I'm wording it incorrectly. I'm talking about someone filing a DMCA complaint / "unlawful reproduction or distribution of their work"...
No, the images would be untouched. And those don't really contain copyrighted characters either.
The reason to upload it directly to an instance would be just for better combability with lemmy (some image links may not show correctly on lemmy, or may be missing the thumbnail...)
On reddit, they upload it directly, and link the source.
It's not. The oldest one I found on TinEye is before AI (2014) . It just got so jpeg'd over time that the line in the rock looks like a finger.
Most mobile apps can, and on desktop I found these 2 methods that I mentioned in the comments here. Maybe you find it useful.
Thinking about creating a new community for sharing imaginary art, but I have some concerns...
You probably know about those imaginary art subreddits, where you can share art with specific theme (e.g., ImaginaryMonsters where you can share artwork with...imaginary monsters, yes) and there is a bunch of these. I was thinking of making one community that I would call something like ImaginaryAnything where people could share art with any theme, and just mention the theme in the title, instead of having 100s of communities for each specific one, since lemmy is pretty small still. There already are some specific imaginary communities on lemmy but non of them are really active.
My main concern is copyright issues, would there be any? I wouldn't want to cause the instance admin any problems. Every post would be required to credit the author and to link the source, but could images hosted on the instance cause problems? In case they could, would linking the source image link instead of uploading it to the instance avoid such problem?
Add "Create an account" button on join-lemmy server picker page
Just noticed that unlike mastodons join page, lemmy doesn't have a "join" or "create an account" button. It'd be nice to have one, it would be more straightforward to join.
Or perhaps there is a reason why it doesn't exist?
Well I don't use either of those platforms, I was just curious. I just shared what I observed, I guess it does sound like a complaint.
Mostly disappointed that there even is a need for such a thing.
So all 3 people on the whole bluesky who even know they can do that or give any fuck about mastodon.
So you can't interact at all, or see bluesky comments or anything. It's basically as if you subscribed to an RSS feed. Pretty useless no?
Never really understood the appeal of twitter-like platforms anyway.
They allegedly remove posts/comments about lemmy? And even if they don't, I feel like it could have the opposite effect. People would see those posts just like ads/promotion/spam. Which would give lemmy a bad rep. Unless something big happens, like some big community switching to lemmy, or someone with a big following promotes lemmy, it will hardly see a big spike in user count.
The only way is to passively "advertise" it. Maybe add the link to your lemmy account in your reddits about you section, if you are making OC add your lemmy handle there as well...
And the last way, which is most likely the best way to do it, is to post good content on lemmy, keep communities alive. And people will eventually join.
I'm picking frog
> Added an initial Anti-Cheat detection system. When a user is detected as cheating, during the game session the opponents will be given a choice between banning the user immediately and ending the match or turning the cheater into a frog for the rest of the game and then banning them afterwards. The system is set to conservative detection levels as we work on a v2 anti-cheat system that is more extensive. We will turn on the banning of users in a couple of days after the update is out. When a match is ended this way, the results will not count for other players.
How is Android's share menu such garbage?
You can't remove things from it, you cannot rearrange it... Useless things and suggestions get stuck at the top.
I'm on Android 13. Have they made any improvements in the newer versions of Android?
Cool sound of an ancient string instrument (Hurdy-gurdy)
Hurdy-gurdy > The hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument that produces sound by a hand-crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin (or nyckelharpa) bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin. Melodies are played on a keyboard that presses tangents—small wedges, typically made of wood or metal—against one or more of the strings to change their pitch. Like most other acoustic stringed instruments, it has a sound board and hollow cavity to make the vibration of the strings audible.
