What are your favorite RSS feeds?
  • I'm not sure why this three-year-old post is showing up now, but uh, if there are subreddits you still want to use after migrating to Lemmy you can set them up as an RSS feed. It's so much better and you don't give their site additional engagement or clicks. You can even click the article link from your RSS reader without ever having to go to Reddit. The only subreddit I still use is for my local metroplex/city, since there's not enough of my neighbors on the Fediverse yet. But now I can see every post as it comes in so I can keep up to date with what's going on with where I live and find out about deals and sales.

    You just take the URL for the subreddit and add ".rss" to the end and that's it.

    Example: "https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditName.rss"

  • The transphobia stops now
  • See Mozingo? Nothin'

    (this comment makes more sense if you can see both lemmy.world and beehaw comments lol)

  • How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?
  • There's [email protected] and [email protected] already. Still a little lacking in activity but they're growing.

  • 19 Republican Attorneys General Want Police to Investigate People for Abortions
  • Ugh. I'm so tired of these fascist fucks... I don't even have anything to say anymore. It's entirely expected behavior yet it still causes unrivaled disgust and revulsion every time they do something. I'm just so tired.

  • TorGuard bans BitTorrent traffic!
  • I don't mind too much, I didn't know TorGuard was blocking that traffic or logging American users but now I do. So I appreciate the article in that regard but the post should've been titled like "Reminder that TorGuard tracks American users" or something rather than being presented as new info imo.

  • New Law to Crush Pirate IPTV Unanimously Approved By Italian Senate * TorrentFreak
  • Yes, correct. I'm not sure why you tried posting that as some sort of gotcha. It's much easier for a person to have accessed one of these streams than to change DNS and put on a VPN. While that is very easy for us and people in our circles, I think you're severely overestimating the technical prowess of the general population.

  • New Law to Crush Pirate IPTV Unanimously Approved By Italian Senate * TorrentFreak
  • it will probably exclude a lot of people from access

    Majority of the population I'd wager tbh, most of the general public is not tech-savvy enough to get around this.

  • What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
  • Yeah, same. I think they doth protest too much lol

  • Why are people anti Facebook joining the fediverse?
  • Data gained through integration of an instance is far more than what's gained in scraping. The data gained through federation will no doubt increase as Meta adds new features that require more data in order to federate with them. They have over a decade of evidence showing us they're evil and have no respect for privacy or people. I do not understand your logic in saying it's okay to federate, it's like watching somebody defend an abusive partner. They've hurt you and communities in the past, stop giving them more rope. The devil does not need an advocate.

  • is lemmy safe
  • This is a public facing forum platform, it's not meant to be a secure messaging platform. Now if you wanted to run your own Lemmy instance and not federate with anybody you could in theory make it secure from prying eyes.

  • Google Pixel 8 series will have bigger batteries, faster charging
  • Still rocking my Pixel 4a 5G and refuse to upgrade until I absolutely have to.

    The camera is more than sufficient, I still get compliments on my photos. The interface is perfectly fine. The battery lasts all day and you'll pry my aux port from my cold, dead hands!

    I'm tired of supporting these yearly releases when there's been hardly any meaningful change in generations.

  • Barbara on nextdoor on the 4th in America rule
  • If we argue about necessity well just end up in the kind of argument that can logically lead to voluntary extinction.

    This is doesn't make any sense and the strangest attempt at a red herring I've come across on Lemmy, there is no necessity. Period. It's still Independence Day whether or not you scare pets and veterans. You can celebrate with a BBQ like every other holiday. Basically you typed a lot of words just to say you don't care how your actions effect others, or that your two seconds of pleasure is worth the well being of animals and neighbors.

  • Barbara on nextdoor on the 4th in America rule
  • Barbara is right though, fireworks are a stupid tradition that can be better served with drone light shows or projection displays. They look way cooler, better for the environment, and don't cause unnecessary stress for dogs and war survivors (soliders or civilians can suffer PTSD from war).

    Fuck fireworks.

    www.propublica.org Supreme Court Keeps Navajo Nation Waiting for Water

    Decades of negotiations between the tribe and Arizona over water rights have proven fruitless. The court case was the Navajo Nation’s bid to accelerate the process and secure water for its reservation.

    Supreme Court Keeps Navajo Nation Waiting for Water

    >More than 150 years after the Navajo Nation signed treaties with the United States establishing its reservation and recognizing its sovereignty, the country’s largest tribe still struggles to secure the water guaranteed by those agreements.

    >In a 5-4 decision, the court denied the Navajo Nation’s request that the federal government be forced to act in a timely manner to help the tribe quantify, settle and access its water rights... ... Writing for the majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the tribe’s treaties do not impose “a duty on the United States to take affirmative steps to secure water for the Tribe.”

    Link to the PDF going over the 5-4 SCOTUS decision.

    www.propublica.org DOT Researchers Suggested a Way to Make Big Trucks Safer. After Meeting With Lobbyists, Agency Officials Rejected the Idea.

    The Department of Transportation allowed trucking lobbyists to review an unpublished report recommending a safety device that could save lives by preventing pedestrians and cyclists from getting crushed under large trucks.

    DOT Researchers Suggested a Way to Make Big Trucks Safer. After Meeting With Lobbyists, Agency Officials Rejected the Idea.

    >When the researchers drafted their report, they included a key suggestion: The DOT should craft federal regulations requiring side guards.

    >But that recommendation generated intense resistance, both internally, from department officials who challenged their findings, and externally, from trucking industry lobbyists.

    > ... the department supervisor overseeing the project had a very direct message for the researchers. “PLEASE delete any mention of a recommendation to develop … any regulation,” he wrote in an email. “An industry standard is acceptable, but no mention of ‘regulation.’”

    >The industry objections resulted in a remarkable concession from the department: It allowed trucking company lobbyists to review the researchers’ preliminary report and provide comments on it.

    >By the time of its release in 2020, the report had been dramatically rewritten, stripped of its key conclusions — including the need to federally mandate side guards — and cut down by nearly 70 pages.

    Post that got me banned from r/196 rule (feral discourse)
  • With Furry Fandom

    "Feral discourse" is a common topic in the wider furry community, with some looking down on feral characters or creators. This has caused resentment among those who like more realistic-looking animals in cartoons, books and other forms of art. One thread on the Furaffinity forums asked for opinions on feral characters leading to a plethora of response of varied degree. Some members also...

    Then:

    Outside of Furry Fandom

    Outside of Furry Fandom, controversy over ferals is much that same as the general controversy of Furry Fandom.

    Lmao I love that they included the outside perspective and how accurate it is. Thanks for the explanation.

  • Post that got me banned from r/196 rule (feral discourse)
  • What in the furry is happening in this meme?

  • Moderators, what rule violations infuriate you the most?
  • I don't moderate anymore, but when I did it was the repeat rule violations that irritated me the most. I don't mind correcting people once, or twice, or even three times. But there's a limit. It feels like parenting, just listen to me the first time I say it, please.

  • What chat software do people here use?
  • I love telegram but it's hard to get other people to try telegram. I just love that I can send any file type easily and of pretty much any size on desktop or mobile.

  • ORBIS: The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World

    Stanford has a tool to calculate travel times in the Roman Empire. A great resource to get a better perspective of the world they lived in. I like to use it for writing stories in settings with similar technology levels, to get an idea of how quickly people should be able to travel.

    cs50.harvard.edu CS50's Introduction to Programming with Python

    An introduction to programming using Python, a popular language for general-purpose programming, data science, web programming, and more.

    CS50's Introduction to Programming with Python

    For anybody that might not have heard, Harvard University launched Intro to Programming with Python last year, which is a free 9-week course for complete beginners and includes a free certificate of completion at the end.

    It's taught by the same professor who teaches Harvard's Intro to CS, the university's most-popular on-campus course.

    The course is very hands-on with weekly problem sets and a final project that you complete through an in-browser code editor.

    You can also take the course via edX but there, the certificate costs $199. If you take it through Harvard OpenCourseWare, the course is exactly the same but the certificate is entirely free.

    Pro writers with adhd what are your tips to get to work

    I think this is the best place to post this, but I was going through my saved posts before deleting my Reddit account and thought that a lot of writers on Lemmy/Fediverse might be able to enjoy this one.

    There's some great tips in these comments but this archive snapshot will make sure that information isn't lost.

    Feel free to add your own tips here in the Fediverse as well!
