  • Yeah, I started on Voyager. Seeing channels and sidebar for the instance my account is registered to works and easy to find / navigate to.

    For other instances, you say that you have to “go” to the other instance. I find it easy to go to a known community on the other instance. And I find it easy to find the sidebar for a known community on another instance. How do I go to the other instance and not the community though?

    For example on load, it loads Post > Home (I think this is configurable in settings so not everyone but it’s not so important for these steps). Then you can click Communities in the menu. Then if you are subscribed to a community that is on a different instance you can click it and open it. When you open the sidebar, the sidebar is for that community, not the instance. I see no way to:

    • Click on the instance
    • Open the sidebar for the instance (not the community)
    • See a list of channels on that instance

    I clicked around a little, but sorry if I’m missing something obvious.

    As an example of the difference in the sidebar for different instances you load these two URLs and compare:

    And the channels that would be nice to scroll separately are:

    Interestingly though, the sidebar for lemmy.ml doesn’t say much and wouldn’t have helped me with the behaviour that caused me to drop “asklemmy@lemmy.ml”. Someone explicitly said that the ml stood for Marxist Leninists and plenty of users tends to write as if that’s true and also be a bit more militant / ideological than I prefer in my interactions… but it’s completely missing from any mention in the sidebar.







  • That write up does seem to ignore the doubling down here:

    https://lemmy.ca/comment/13913116

    Calling out that JD Vance was the only one to answer is pretty troubling to me after reading about some of his new-right ties. It’s way, way too close for my liking to a mouse telling everyone that will listen that the cat was amazing for inviting him and all his friends to his house in a week. ie. Playing into what just seems like an obvious strategy.

    That said, I’m pretty ignorant about the CEO. I just remembered this lemmy comment and I didn’t notice it included in the write up that was being linked.




  • Your first link is broken.

    Your second link doesn’t immediately have that data but there is a dynamic form to get some data. I don’t see public suicides in it. Since it’s a dynamic form, a genAI system won’t see the data either but will see people reference the site when making arguments. I’m assuming the genAI is just doing that.

    Your last two links are the same report for different years. One says this and it contradicts your numbers:

    Among all suicide decedents, the most common location of suicide was a house or apartment (71.3%), followed by a motor vehicle (5.5%), a natural area (4.4%), a street or highway (2.8%), and a hotel or motel (2.3%).

    Also, I’m not convinced that these would be even across all modes of suicide so I’m not convinced by the simple math. (ie. Maybe people use guns to kill themselves outside a lot more than at home, or the opposite. I don’t see a great reason to assume they’d be similar rates.)



  • That ruling is worth taking a look at:

    https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69784731/261/american-association-of-university-professors-v-rubio/

    From page 148 the ruling begins a section titled “Justice in the Trump Era” and beginning page 155, also in that section, begins to list the ways he uses retribution including targeting free speech.

    Other quotes are:

    • “this Court finds as fact and concludes as matter of law that Secretaries Noem and Rubio and their several agents and subordinates acted in concert to misuse the sweeping powers of their respective offices to target noncitizen pro-Palestinians for deportation primarily on account of their First Amendment protected political speech”

    • “I fear President Trump believes the American people are so divided that today they will not stand up, fight for, and defend our most precious constitutional values so long as they are lulled into thinking their own personal interests are not affected. Is he correct?”





  • Yeah, I was think there is easier momentum for non-hardware tech. Social media is mostly its users so if they leave there isn’t much. Disney showed some of the weaknesses of streaming services but they’re aren’t many non-US alternatives. There are YouTube alternatives but there most of the content creators are entrenched there. Most of the rest of Google’s offerings have European alternatives.





  • Fruits tend to get listed as low GI supporting the poster’s statement.

    Also, you’re simplifying the chemistry and metabolic pathways to the point they sound the same when they’re obviously different. I’m not an expert but I as I understand it table sugar is short chain and good to go, fruits (if they’re not pre cooked) tend to be a bit more complicated and have a few more steps along the way (and I assume each requires some energy to unlock and also result in some chemical energy that isn’t completely digested). Also, what you’re saying goes a lot against what I understand from the carb count on the packet from fibre vs. what your body unlocks. That said, I’m very ignorant and far from an expert
