Mastodon to Lemmy Federation Test.
@fediverse

Writing this from Mastodon as a Test. Hello!

This is my first time doing this, i didn't knew that you could do this with Lammy groups until a few hours ago.

Can someone tell me how Lemmy instances handles quotes from Mastodon and PeerTube links and stuff like that? Don't want to pollute the this group with test messages.

Greetings from Voyager

@xgranade @glyph And if it turns out later that Jeffries, like Schumer(?), really just wants BAAJA to get through in its current form in the lame duck session so he doesn't have to deal with it next session, I'm going to find that *very* unimpressive for several reasons

@flyingsaceur Yeah, on top of being an environmental catastrophe it was also just… not very good. But people are often willing to live with “not very good” from McDonald’s

@georgetakei His brain:

@elsemusic And the UI is pretty weird to navigate, I find. Good luck with your issues. Are you connecting to the Integra in MPE mode?

@xgranade @glyph Like I *strongly* suspect if someone sat down and explained the exact procedural silliness of this vote, it would turn out the ultimate root looks like "The Democrats have a last-ditch procedural countermeasure that they could have used to stop this, but they didn't pull it out in this case because they believed the vote would lose and they have some other priority they care more about in the lame duck session". Which isn't… offensive…exactly… but might not be impressive either.

Sen. Brian Schatz called on the Senate floor for Israel to immediately allow rescue equipment, winter supplies, and fuel into Gaza as heavy rains flooded over 70,000 tents, joining UN warnings that 150,000 shelters remain blocked at the border.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

@elsemusic Heh...small peeves over here, but not the same ones. I don't use a sustain pedal so can't comment on that, but I've had some MIDI issues when I was really stressing it by using both USB MIDI and DIN MIDI at the same time, with MPE active. It tends to freeze up when doing that, so I've been using it pretty much just with a straight DIN MIDI connection to my MRCC MIDI switch/port (which then connects to the Hydrasynth via DIN MIDI).

@jalefkowit the big complaint that I remember is that the top half of the bun is part of the “hot” but it stays cool with the lettuce and tomato, which were Not Great either

Yea a lot of this is AI based but the initial entry is definitely not sophisticated. It’s just everyone’s dirty laundry getting aired at once, and killing security by obscurity.

@Radgryd thats wonderful and sweet!!

@xgranade @glyph Among my questions here is "if it really is possible without repercussions to notice a member of the opposite party is stuck in traffic, rush a vote on a bill you want to kill, and then close the vote early before even all the members of your own party who are in the building have been able to vote, why have the Democrats never tried this?"

yikes.
