Socialis

We called them streaming services. Calling them stream-ers sounds like the media is trying to make them sound cuddly and non hostile.

Yeah I noticed that.

I just checked, there are 40 downvotes (78 upvotes). That’s wierd - I checked other posts and they don’t seem to have anything like that - I saw none in the double digits.

I might just have to keep a separate account for posting politics which is sad but necessary so that my posts/comments are ranked according to utility and not just downvoted by angry nerds. I’ll probably make a post about this somewhere too.

I think some idiots/bots from another instance to do with a political topic did it lol. They’ve done it to a few comments. We haven’t left reddit apparently.

Do you think lemmy admins could see the downvoters and check if they’re using bots?

And UK.

In his own words lol:

To re-iterate PDF is a really, really bad format to use as input. If you absolutely must use PDF, then be prepared for an output ranging anywhere from decent to unusable, depending on the input PDF.

Others are recommending Calibre which I’ll try, even though I share your pessimism. Have you ever tried it?

Good post. Butlerian Jihad when?

That’s interesting. ^[1]

Just for clarity Kindles still don’t support epubs but if you use their service they get automatically converted to a compatible format and then pushed to your device iirc.

I thought you were being serious for a second.

Libby and Overdrive. Look at the megathread: https://rentry.co/megathread-books

No issues from my friend and people I know.

Guys, this is fact, also downvotes aren’t private.

It gives you remote self-sucking capabilities.

Iirc proton mail has a backdoor. Though they likely won’t be used outside of ‘nať-sećurity interests’.

One cool thing I’ve discovered is that at least inside apps, those links with !!!exclamation marks to other subreddits work within the app and within your instance. So that’s cool. Not sure if it works with comments, since they’re a different structure.

I’ll test with this comment from a german instance: https://feddit.de/comment/747555

And the same comment from within my instance: https://lemmy.world/comment/779107

So the second link works but first doesn’t, its misread and goes to some other post.

I hope the old ui customisations will be available, would be great.

I’m also wondering what will be done about lemmy’s wierdness about subscribing to subs, where you need to search up the sub on your instance etc.

Even sharing the comment discussions is useless if the recipient isn’t already from the instance (probably are but many won’t be obvs), the site won’t let them comment unless they find the discussion mirrors on their own instance. So how will sync for lemmy deal with these eccentricities (that lemmy devs are also obvs going to deal with in the future)??

Thanks.

Good night.
