Can I have it? I'd never buy one but I use Spotify constantly in my cab. It'd be nice to have it not attached to my phone.

This is the discourse Im looking for in c/curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works

I love this take. It reminds me of like that picture of a guy in a hoodie and sunglasses from the early 20th century, or when an older show or movie has a line that seems to refer to the name of something that hadn't been invented at the time, but it's actually referring to something else.

Or like when they fix time travel paradox in a story by faking an 'inescapable' event.

It's perfect.

After Washington police nearly beat him to death for walking while high, will prosecution against him continue? in c/thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world

Being swayed by reality would require having a drop of moral integrity. No prosecutor has that.

Whoever made this small army of bots spam posting new sports communities on an empty instance, can you stop?

We get it. You're desperate for attention to your server. All this gets you though is blocked and defederated.

I feel like those posters aren't really socialists either. There's a point which just claiming a worldview isn't enough to justify the accuracy of that label while holding all the opposing positions to its values.

I'd like to block all users and posts from hexchan, exploding heads, and lemmygrad. I don't care if it sends the data as long as it blocks it from my UI.

What's that written in? Python? I need to learn Python.

If you're going to spam Lemmy with bullshit on multiple accounts, can you at least stop making a new community for every post? It's a lot easier to block.

I honestly wouldn't give those people the dignity of calling them leftists. They're too concerned about cosplaying as activists and dunking on people to actually give a shit about advancing the rights of real people or trying to protect anything good.

Honestly, it's begun to feel more hostile and shady. Pretty sure the Russian trolls are here, but hexchan ain't helping either. I'm waiting for a client side instance block feature. We really need it.

How do you handle being upset about something online? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I don't really engage with anything I don't see as a thoughtful reply made in good faith. Sometimes. But I try not to.

Harvard has its CS50 lectures online for free. Can't hurt.

Lemmy Edition!: What are your favorite local businesses, locations, and services in the Northampton area? (lemm.ee)

It's that time again! It's been 2 years since our last new recommendations thread, and there are plenty of new businesses since then! Let's kick off the Lemmy community with another one!

Feel free to plug any restaurants and other entertainment venues, excellent local businesses, favorite parks and nature spots, and pretty much anything that you think deserves wider recognition and acclaim! Bonus for anything recent that even locals might have missed!

I made a VIA macro to make using Lemmy easier! What have you made with VIA? (lemm.ee)

Given the overlap in interests between mechanical keyboards and Lemmy, I thought some of you might be able to make use of this macro.

When you open a Lemmy link in a new tab and trigger the macro, it'll switch to the tab and automatically search the URL on lemm.ee, then open the first result. You could pretty easily swap it over to another instance that you have an account on, but you'll have to count the tabs yourself if they have some extra links or buttons or something.

Pretty simple, but it's been really useful to make browsing and posting between different fediverse platforms much smoother. Hopping from Calckey over to Lemmy and getting to the particular instance I need feels a lot more seamless now. If you run into issues with some instances not federating with one another, you could also easily set a second macro with another instance for those communities that have defederated from one another, such as open-registration communities and human-verified ones if you prefer one or the other.

I'm honestly still kind of blown away by just how much smoother a few macros can make day-to-day PC use.

I'm curious what others have made with VIA and how it's affected their every day experience and their work flow. What unique VIA macros have you made? Have you made anything that might make Fediverse integration a little smoother?

Anyway, here it is so you can try it out! It should be pretty simple to modify or make your own from scratch!

What other Fediverse instances have you been able to federate Lemmy with successfully? (lemm.ee)

I've got a Calckey server up and I'm testing integration with Lemmy and Mastodon. It seems like Mastodon's working well, and I've been able to follow communities, but I'm not sure if it actually displays posts (we're about to find out).

What other Fediverse instances have you used, and how has connecting with Lemmy or other federated instances worked on it for you?

If you run your own instance, have you had much luck with relays? Are there any you'd recommend?

Edit: So on my end it seems like Calckey will allow you to follow Lemmy communities, but it only displays posts if they're 'boosted' by the community. Which, I have no idea how that happens!
