@iris_meredith You do realize I don’t actually run US elections, and I didn’t write the US or any state constitution, right? But I do spend a lot of my professional life studying and trying to improve elections, and I’m glad we’ve made significant progress in recent years.

My first try converting my ESP32-S3 SIMD code in my JPEGDEC library into ESP32-S31 SIMD code (Xtensa ASM code into modified RISC-V ASM code). The good news - it didn't crash 🤪

@mattblaze @gerg @LabSpokane It's never really hindered the US from giving any other country advice on how their government should work but I understand why it's irritating.

lemmy and mastodon are more than just activitypub frontends. mastodon is for microblogging where you follow users while lemmy and other threadiverse software is a discussion forum and news aggregator where you follow communities. it’s cool you can share some posts across these platforms but there is a reason you don’t see the same posts everywhere and that’s a good thing.

Star Trek would be the best universe to get isekai'd into, because they'd be nice and actually pretty understanding.

"And in the other universe, everything here is a work of fiction!"

is it really that hard to just repost it on a mastodon account in those cases?

@middleclasstool yessss Randy

Friday night, I was in Montreal to accept the 2026 Freedom of Expression Award from the Canadian Media Lawyers Association, in recognition of a lifetime of work fighting for freedom of speech, open courts and civil liberties as both a journalist and a Senator. It was a truly moving honour to receive - one I share with every colleague who supported me, every editor and publisher who had my back, my Senate colleagues and staff, and all the lawyers who advised, protected and inspired me. #yeg #yul #cdnpoli

@TrentWalton keeping goin’ man! Loving it. Love the slower versions.
I think at this point you need a playlist or compilation. An official one.

This seem to stem from a misunderstanding. Lemmy and Mastodon have different goals. Users of each generally don’t want the other’s content generally showing up en masse.

If you want to see something from Mastodon, you can usually get it on Lemmy, and vice versa. I don’t often see Mastodon posts either, but that’s because I only follow Lemmy communities, so I only see them when someone on Mastodon tags a Lemmy community in their post. If you want to see more Mastodon content, see if you can follow some users or hashtags from Lemmy.

But that might not be supported; I haven’t tried. If you prefer Mastodon, I’m pretty sure that you can follow Lemmy communities from there.

@dajb The bit that stayed with me: a day rate means little if nobody agrees how long a day is. Six billable hours is not eight, and neither counts pitches, admin or chasing invoices. Price it backwards — what you need in a year, divided by the hours you can actually bill, not 40 a week. And your group's rule is the right lever when the budget is short: cut the scope, keep the rate. Cutting the rate just teaches the next client to ask.

@ZaphodOfTexas a friend of mine touched my shoulders ONCE, said “Oh, you weren’t kidding about storing all your stress there.” And immediately gave me the contact information for her massage person. 🤣😅 my massage lady uses her elbows a LOT but she’s the only person who has ever been able to get my shoulders back into place.

For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.

How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!
