I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
I think it’s reasonable that some communities will want to cater to a specific topic / group of people. If you want to discuss a similar topic, there’s nothing stopping you from posting about it in another community or making your own community/instance.
If someone doesn’t want to engage with you, it’s silly to try and force them to engage with you.
Especially if no bank account is attached and if it isn’t tied to anything on here
@mesamunefire@piefed.social does anything show up when you log in to GitHub and check billing?
Was the timing of the protests the problem in your opinion? The way that it was done?
In your opinion, how should supporters of a party express what they want changed with an electoral platform
Not all voters agreed with those protests. Arguably, the candidate would’ve lost by more if they listened to the protests and addressed the issues that were brought up.
Even if this was true, silencing any criticism isn’t the solution. In most parts of the world anyway
But in this context you’re referring to the prevention of fascism as “unproductive”.
I’m saying that if the candidate listened to the protests and addressed the issues that were brought up, they may have gotten more votes. Arguably, having MORE protests may have helped them win if it could convince the leadership to make changes.
Outcry from supporters is what convinced Biden to step down, which I think helped the Democrats come closer. Protest is important if it can help a party make the right adjustments in their campaign.
Telling people to stay silent is unproductive.
I find this unproductive. People SHOULD ask their elected representatives (and candidates) to improve. I want people to point it out when my preferred candidate does something wrong, because then they’re more likely to address it before the election.
That is exactly how it works. Criticizing the better option of the two will reduce turnout for that candidate. That’s the whole purpose of political campaigns.
I’m not saying this doesn’t happen, but I don’t think a significant number of people changed their mind about voting for her because of the protests.
Option 1: Politically engaged people don’t point out a problem -> The candidate doesn’t address the problem -> The average voter doesn’t vote for the candidate because of the problem
Option 2: Politically engaged people DO point out a problem -> The candidate addresses the problem -> The average voter is more likely to vote for the candidate
Would Aurora be a better recommendation these days?

You could self host an inventory management software
Check your local libraries, or search for maker spaces
For example
The visitor, in this case, was a white-eared opossum — a marsupial native to the region. Evidently, he’d wandered into the daycare center from the surrounding forest and found a perfectly cozy spot to rest his head.
Neat
Organic Maps was on iOS, my guess is that it’ll take time to get a new app approved on the iOS store
Thank you so much for this medal, I will cherish it 😁
I’d make a recommendation: have some sort of cross-pollination tool. Basically, pull the database of all subscribed communities on Lemmy.ca and have a bot subscribe to the same on PieFed, and vice versa. Probably easy to do if you have server-side access.
This is actually somewhat built into PieFed. Users can import from a lemmy account, and admins can do a bulk community import of the local communities on a particular instance (filtering by number of posts and users in the past week in those communities). However, it’s buggy. Eventually it would be nice to have tools to synchronize administration between the instances so that we don’t need to repeat actions on both instances.
Furthermore, in the ideal world, “Local” from the Lemmy instance includes the piefed.ca local commuities. This might be a harder ask. The reason would be to prevent bisecting the Local feeds.
Agreed :) PieFed does have a ‘popular’ feed, so another solution would be to have a default feed that we have more control over (ex. picking specific instances or communities). As long as the exact breakdown is communicated to the user, perhaps as a ‘learn more’ button in the existing “Create an account to tailor this feed to your interests.”, I don’t think people will mind the admins customizing it to fit the instance. We’ve discussed in the past whether it is better to have the default logged out view be ‘local’ or ‘popular’, and this might help with that problem too.
Finally, ideally there is a community migration tool, to cross between Lemmy and PieFed if a community wants to move from one side to the other
This actually exists for the Lemmy -> PieFed direction! @blaze posted some information about it here: https://lemmy.ca/comment/16976004
It could be better, since right now while the PieFed instance does get a copy of all the posts, the Lemmy instance doesn’t know about it. Hopefully the various platforms can coordinate some common solution.
Also happy cake day! 🥳
Here is the feature list of grapheneOS. A big one for me is sandboxing apps and more control over permissions.
At some point we’re going to need a recap of how it all came together
I think it has been like that for a while. It’s not paywalled, but rather account-walled (edit: I was wrong)
There may also be different versions of the article, since I don’t always come across the wall
How so?
