Oh, there was nothing wrong with the gist of what they said, it was the personal commentary at the beginning that was unneeded. If they had skipped that then their point would have been likely considered more thoughtfully by those reading.

…Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh… What have I done with my life?

No, ignorant takes like yours are the real problem.

Is this Reddit?! (Looks up at title bar in confusion.)

No…well, this is odd.

Canada Communication Consortium

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.

Yup, exactly what I experienced too.

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

I just watched 12 Angry Men (1957) for the first time and it is incredible.

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

…and now it’s there with the new update! Nice!

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.

Your account is only your account on one instance. You can have other accounts on other instances. However, you can access and post to all of the communities, content, and posts on all federated instances from your one account on one instance.

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.

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.

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!
