I read a bunch of philip k dick books a few months ago, and had a sensation that I'm not actually my current age. I'm actually on my deathbed, dreaming or in a half-wake state, and all my experiences are disjointed half-rememberings of things I might have done. And there's no way to prove any of it either way.

Absolutely, but that was intolerable to the US, which is why they coup'ed its government in 2014 and installed a puppet one.

And never ask why the US has over 800 external military bases, while all other countries combined have less than 20.

I've been following a lot of these, and unfortunately nearly all of them are dead.

  • YouAmp - Alive, jetpack compose + material v3, but very early in development. Barely any features. Probably our best hope for the future of these.
  • Tempo - The best current option, but dead for ~6 months. Has a few bugs, but lots of features. Java, not kotlin, but appears to be material 3.
  • Ultrasonic - Great option, lots of features, but dead for ~a year.
  • Dsub - Dead for 2 years, but revived now with a few bug fixes via this one. Doesn't have much of a future, not being jetpack compose / m3.
  • Subtunes - Dead for 2+ years.

We haven't done any releases yet, but no post scores will still be okay.

This page has some background, but historically they've always beat polling and any other prediction algorithms as long as they've been around.

Gamblers don't always get it right, but this page has some interesting history: https://electionbettingodds.com/about.html

Gamblers, polls, and the NYT's most sophisticated prediction algorithms all got it very wrong in 2016, and severely overestimating hillary and underestimating trump. But of those three, the prediction markets were the least wrong.

Sry for the downtime, we're back up.

We tried several things but weren't able to diagnose the specific problem, but we've narrowed it down to a specific file. We're keeping track of it in this issue. Most likely its gonna be one of those extremely simple things that got missed.

Thx for being patient, we'll probably have more downtimes in the future as we need to test more fixes.

I can't tell which you're trying to do, apologize for maga chuds or kamala's abuse of black people and immigrants.

 

Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

The last two weeks had these changes merged:

@Sleepless added a field so that users can see if they've been banned from a community. Has been refactoring Lemmy's exports to make them more easily used by 3rd party libraries, such as their lemmy-client-rs , and lemmy-ui-leptos. Added an animated avatar setting for users.

Has also been making improvements to lemmy-ui such as fixing a scroll bug, and hiding WYSIWYG buttons on preview. Has also been working a lot on lemmy-ui-leptos.

@Nutomic created an rfc for private communities, fixed an issue with the database logging connection URLs on an error. Added an optional site content warning and post-listing-mode. Also did a lot of code reviews.

@dullbananas fixed an issue with Comment Report reads, added better query plans, and is working on many DB improvements.

@dessalines added an instance-level default post sort. Added a maintenance task to clean up old denied users from the DB.. Made sure that blocking an instance also hides private messages from their users, to prevent harassment. He also added the ability to specify custom thumbnails for posts. Fixed an issue with auto-resolving reports when removing a post or comment.

Has also been making a lot of additions to Jerboa, such as admin registration applications, report queues, comment distinguishing, banning users from their profile page, privacy policies, and muted / smaller federated names.

@sunaurus created an rfc for separate report inboxes for mods and admins.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.
