Not ideal for me. I like to keep tabs on the conversation on post. I will often see a post that is making its way up the page with a few comments and will check back in as I am browsing when it has hundreds.

Yeah solution has been to sort by daily top. Not ideal but gets the job done. Really unfortunate timing to have a bug like that with the hot sorting.

Unfortunately Lemmy currently lacks sophisticated moderation tools and any other tools other than full defederation. From Beehaw's statements they would really have rather has options other than full defederation.

One way defederation and/or providing other instances read only access to a Lemmy would probably be very helpful feature to have. While not the most useful at the moment, since everything is so new, being able to vary other instances access on their instances age and age of accounts would probably be helpful in reducing the worst of the trolling/spam.

Personally I would prefer if we didn't use "Lemmy" for everything. I really like programming.dev as a software development based instances. Also makes it less confusing if an instance decides to change to kbin or a future compatible server.

How do we handle "dupe" communities?

I think the only really option is to let things play out. This was/is a problem on Reddit see r/gaming vs r/games. Overtime certain communities on certain instances will float to the top.

What's the best way to find new communities?

This still needs some work. It would be nice if you were able to search communities by instance or look just see the hot/active page of a different instance to help with discoverablility. These may be possible but I haven't found how to.

He lacks the understanding on how WeChat was able to get were it is. Ignoring any Chinese government help they were the default chat app for China therefore on every phone and were in a market without strong electronic payment system. All the other services that WeChat has come from the success of chat and payments.

North America and Europe for better or worse have had credit cards as the standard for electronic payments for decades now. North America uses SMS/iMessage as the default chat service and Europe uses WhatsApp. Twitter is used less than Facebook messager in both ot those markets.

Thermostats (for inside) in Celsius usually use half degree granularity.

I find it is hit or miss if a thermostat gives 0.5C or 1C for granularity. Even when the do have half degree increments I always just use whole degrees.

Hey you get to decide between neovim and vim

I think I would be helpful for instances to have more control over federation than turning on or of for there instances. Ideally I think giving lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works read only access to Beehaw would have been the best option while we wait for better moderation tools. Until those options exist though they didn't really have much other choice.

Now we just need to get rid of the image preview for really old farts like me. I also wouldn't mind a theme that gets rid of the inline images in comments and just replaces them with a link.

I don't think that's the case they probably have had at least a small team working on this before the Steam deck was announced. I don't think the audiences overlap that much to be honest and the two devices have different use cases.

The steam deck is just a powerful hand held computer (relative to other gaming hardware is pretty weak though) that runs PC games with all the ups and downs that come with that. I think there are number of steam deck buyer that are not that familiar with the underlying hardware that are going to be disappointed when new games are not going to run acceptably on it. Where as for the switch/switch 2 games will at least run acceptably

I've taken two data structures courses in School. My first one in C and a second one in Java. I was happy I took the C one first because in the Java course thrt used over engineered OOP. They used 6 different classes used to make a single binary tree!

One page rules also has general soloplay rules so worst case you can alternate take turns on your side and go by the rules for ae "AI" opponent

This seems to be a very pedantic argument where you are using the word housing to mean exclusively single family housing were are the author of the article is pretty clearly using the term to mean all forms of housing including condos and apartments.

Yeah just a short delay and the area has decent alternative for the time being and a lot of the developments are still being built

There are two differing thoughts on federation I have seen.

1. That servers/instances are only a means to provide people access to the network. They should be not gate keep or restricted access to the entire network. In this case it's like email were you expect to be able to send anyone a message no matter who is their provider. In this case blocking instances is only to stop malicious and misbehaving instances.

2. As a way for seperate distinct communities converse with eachother. In this case if there is an instance that is detrimental to the culture of your instance you can block it from interacting with your instance.

While I appreciate the theory of the first idea in practice I believe second out come can't be stopped as people self sort into communities.

I've been thinkg of getting a refebushed 1 litre office PC and a couple external HDDs to build a basic starter NAS for cheap.

Not an answer to your question but when you say " I find that it has battery issues trying to play anything fancy like Skyrim" do you mean that the battery drains while plugged in or that you are mainly playing while not plugged in and your battery life is really short.

If it is the former then you might just need to buy a higher wattage power adapter to sustain. The power draw.

I am missing the ability to see other subreddit/communities conversations on the same link.

Might not be the most popular answer on this platform but it is the most seamless and easy for me. The integration between chrome and android is really nice.

Not that other options are difficult but the only reason I can see to migrate is ideological which is completely fair. I would probably do it if I was younger and had more time and effort to deal with it.
