Anyone know what's happening with lemmy.ca? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I did that five times before remembering I had an old account on this instance that I could switch to to post the question and see what communities I used to be subscribed to.

What is something that sounds 100% false but is actually 100% true? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

In the United States.

Thanks! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working so there must be something else going on. I appreciate you trying the change for me though!

Some parts of BC are rainforest, some are basically desert. It's really big.

Maybe not the same issue but I can't see communities with names longer than 20 characters here. There's a discussion and solution (I think) here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3449

Any chance of getting that fixed?

[HN] Sarah Silverman sues Meta, OpenAI for copyright infringement in c/technews@radiation.party
[–] JohnnyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I imagine the defense is going to be that the model just reads the text, and then it does not store it anywhere verbatim, so there is no copyright infringement. Kind of like reading a book and learning from it.

How will the fediverse respond to AI orgs scraping Lemmy/the fediverse for training data? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] JohnnyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

With the fediverse, couldn't they just create their own private instance and let all the other instances just feed them data?

As long as they don't do anything to inspire other instances to defederate with them (which by not posting anything and not drawing attention they probably won't) they can just sit there pulling data.

Yeah, ketosis is key.

Feature suggestion - pop up confirmation before exiting app when using the Back button on Android (sh.itjust.works)
 

I end up backing out of the app a lot, especially from the search. Having the back button from the search window not exit the app and go back home is a solution for that partícular issue, but a popup to confirm backing out of the app would help in multiple situations.

I think any feature change like this should be optional though.

(I'm coming from RIF and it had this feature.)

Anyone else dislike the comment-collapsing behaviour? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I know this behavior was requested, but the tap to collapse and long press to hide buttons are both really annoying to me.

  • If there's a link in the comment and you miss your tap, you end up collapsing the comment. Then it takes three (or 6, or 9) clicks to click a link. This is particularly common at small fonts. The old behaviour of collapsing when hitting the comment header was sufficient, and still too much IMO.

  • I usually use long press to highlight text and copy it. Maybe to bring up a menu. Having it hide a menu (the buttons) is just weird and disconcerting

Again, I know this was requested, so I tried to give it a chance, but I really dislike it, so I wanted to see how others felt. I'm recently coming from RIF btw.

What have you imagined as an epic design for a bot? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I feel like a design has to evolve to survive at the different levels, but have you thought of a design that you think would stand out in the pros? Weapon design, wheel design, armor, go wild!

Serious, important question about this instance. (sh.itjust.works)
 

Do you (yes you, you personally) read the name as "Shhh, it just works" or "Shit just works".
