  • Yes. Even when I know what the limits are, and why, the thing lulls you into responding as if it were a conscious agent. The downside of the way it produces speech.

  • I'm not a dog scientist.

    Neither is my dog a scientist. Come to think of it, I don't think I've met too many dogs with PhDs or other research credentials in the relevant fields.

    But still, you can post to Lemmy. And for a dog that's pretty neat.

  • As always, the limits of tolerance are met when it comes to suggesting we tolerate intolerance. The boundary must be set there.

    Absolutely. It's a timeless masterpiece in my opinion.

  • New user interfaces available on lemmy.ca!

    Jump

  • ...and now it's there with the new update! Nice!

  • LemmyTools 0.2.0.7 is released! Now with Top Bar as default! Browser addon new: LemmyTools functionality is being explored to go into the "Instance Assistant for kbin & lemmy!" by cynber!

    Jump

  • Thanks, I'll take a look and give this a try.

    Edit: Looks like the subscribed communities dropdown has been added to the latest version of mlmym so perhaps I won't need it on the old.lemmy.* sites

  • Holy crap that was fast!!! And it now has the 'My communities' dropdown, which makes it much better! Thanks!!

  • The latest version of mlmym includes the subscribed commuunities dropdown in the top bar. Can mlmym be updated to this version, please? The lack of access to one's subscribed communities makes it borderline unusable atm despite how much I like it.

  • Awesome, thanks for the update and new features!

    Would it be possible to make the script work with old.lemmy.ca (and old.lemmy.world, etc) as well? The lack of access to subscribed communities on the old.* frontend, despite its advantages, makes it borderline unusable.

  • Why do each of my accounts have different subscription lists?

    Jump

  • So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account.

    Why are you needing to do that? You only need one account on one instance and you can subscribe to all the things you want on every instance (assuming that it hasn't been defederated for some reason). That way you'll only have one account with one list of subscribed communities instead of differing ones on different accounts.

  • Now I just need a subscribed community dropdown list like I had with RES

  • That's really awesome. The old.lemmy.ca looks surprisingly like old that-other-place.

  • Mapping a gas station / convenience store

    Jump

  • Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.

  • Mapping a gas station / convenience store

    Jump

  • Thanks, that did help somewhat. However, it's still a bit ambiguous with 'add a node at the center of the fuel station...' not being clear if that means the building or the pumps or the entire property. (I've seen it all three different ways on OSM), and, of course, it then goes onto say "or create a way around the fueling area." The term 'fueling area' makes me think it may mean the pumps? That's not all that clear again, and I've seen it different ways. I suppose both are okay then, but I was thinking there would be some accepted consistent way to do this. Likewise, for the convenience store it gives both the option of adding a node in the middle of the building and marking that as the convenience store or mark the building itself as the a convenience store.

    Sounds like all those options are okay. I suppose I was just being a bit too pernickety about it and wanting there to be a perfectly consistent way to do this.

  • What are you guys mapping today?

    Why are folks so anti-capitalist?

    Jump

  • That’s an interesting perspective! Care to share some data?

    Well, of course the data on what our actions (much of which are due to and based upon capitalism) are doing to are environment and climate, and inevitably must lead to given the implicit but incorrect assumption of infinite resources of that system, is everywhere and basically impossible to ignore these days, isn't it? And, almost as easy to find is the data on other cultures killing themselves off (in the, at the time, limited scope of their part of the planet) due to their actions, such as Easter Island.

    Why are folks so anti-capitalist?

    Jump

  • Sure, there's no argument about the benefits for many (me and you included, as demonstrated by the fact we can have the resources and time to post this here) of that system. And it's true that it works better than many other systems we've tried. Absolutely! That does not change the fact that it is by its nature combined with human nature, demonstrably inevitably self-destructive for all. Ignoring that (which, of course, so many folks are very motivated to do) is at our peril. We literally won't have to worry about what system is better or worse for much longer if this continues.

    So, it seems quite clear that arguing that it's better than the others, for many, for now, is not a useful, rational, or coherent approach, since it is inevitably fatal for all. That is a bit like arguing that it's 'better' to wear small amounts of lead (and other poisonous substances) in cosmetics to attract folks we want to have around us socially (as the elite did, of course, in our history) resulting in the inevitable mid and long term sickness and death of those people instead of finding other solutions.

    Instead, it seems far more rational to work really hard to figure out what can work better!
