Nice, those are some good bird pics. I like the coloration and little red flourishes on the woodpeckers.
Around me we get a lot of nut hatches, and titmouses which are my fav. They have little mohawks, and are quirky, but brave, as I’ve seen them do david and goliath standoffs with much bigger birds like crows. Not my pic but here’s one
I’d really love to get into that, especially bird photography as it’s been fun to try to learn bird calls and try to spot them. Nature really recharges the brain in a way nothing else can. Esp for those of us who are goal oriented or always feeling the need to be accomplishing something, being out in nature helps us drop all the expectations and distractions.
The BBC:
“The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves"
Keir Starmer and U.K. politicians condemned the chants, saying there was no excuse for such “appalling hate speech.”
Anything the british state or its media says should be considered false, until proven otherwise by a reputable source.
Doing any nature related activities away from screens, whether it be daily walks, gardening, hiking, kayaking, mountain climbing, swimming, camping is really good for both mental and physical health.
In that blue zones documentary, it’s said that daily walks and daily gardening help your mind and longevity more than any other activity.
Learning a musical instrument is always good, and is something you can show off. Knitting, crocheting, or any kind of ravelry works your mind, and you can also listen to audiobooks while doing it. Woodworking (you can start small, even doing spoons and things).
I wouldn’t be too focused on doing mentally challenging activities. Screens wear out our brains enough, and what we really need is time away from them to recharge.
Outside of that I’d just recommend reading a lot of non-fiction, audiobooks where available.
Ah my bad.
Ya we have to deal with so many vote bots, dead account voters, and vote spying tools now from some instances, that it’s genuinely going to be one of the biggest challenges on the fediverse in the future.
If some special interests set up shop on the fediverse, and upvote their content with a lot of fake accounts, or downvote others views they don’t want popularized, without a way to combat it while still preserving overall vote privacy, we’ll be in bad shape.
“The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves…The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.”
British state media is absolute trash. Everything that comes out of it should be considered false before proven otherwise by a reputable source.
This has nothing to do with that. But we have expanded the site settings to reject federated votes (or downvotes only)
Pretty impressive that a smartphone company, that’s kinda like the Apple of China, decided to just make a car, and within a decade came out with one of the best cars ever made. If anyone hasn’t, I highly recommend watching some reviews of the SU-7.
Neat to see that Ford’s CEO sees the writing on the wall and is sounding the alarm, but he has no power to change the company’s overall direction, and it will go the way of the dodo. Ford has the reputation of a company that sells oversized trucks to obnoxious overbearing US patriots who are more likely to be drunk driving and kill an innocent person than any other vehicle on the road.
I elaborated on this here
Here is the issue and the pull request.
Essentially multi-communities are a federated item very similar to communities, that federated users can subscribe to. They have an id, a creator, name, description, and a list of communities. If you subscribe to it, your instance will pick up any changes to it. You can then get a list of posts filtered by that multi-community.
Here are the new endpoints:
Deeply evil shit, stranger things level.
Many months, email is unfortunately your best bet for live notifs atm.
The 1.0 release is many months away yet, and we’ll give ample time to app devs to update.
Yep, or the things you’ve downvoted.
The lemmy back end in general doesn’t have mobile push notifications yet, those are still a wip.
The current alternatives are to enable email notifications, or add the inbox feed to an rss reader (although that is pull, not push, so it really isn’t different from the app.)
Good introductory article on this for US cops if anyone’s interested:
Same, I love syncthing too. End to end encrypted, works on nearly every platform, and easy to install.

I mentioned to someone the other day how I was trying to cut back on my coffee and snack addictions. They looked at me like I was crazy when I said there’s gotta be more to life than treats.
I just had a convo with someone about how the most dangerous job at their factory, which involves repeatedly getting near a 1700 degree furnace, was always mandated to be the highest hourly rate, even if other jobs were skilled labor, and no one thought this was unfair in the slightest due to the dangers involved.
