The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

Yes, but only in one direction. If I choose to remember an embarrassing memory I can increase my body temperature by a few degrees instantly. Like a really underwhelming version of the Human Torch.

Perhaps more relevantly, the Docker image itself has not been updated in over 2 years: https://hub.docker.com/r/spacebarchat/server

Same here. I don’t know why it happens, but sometimes I can distinctly smell the inside of my nose

That’s not particularly exclusive to comics. Jokes in general are infinitely re-hashable, which is fine as long as the comedian puts in the effort to make it their own and doesn’t just steal the joke and try to pass it off as their own.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse: while Kratom isn’t an opioid, it can cause “opioid-like” and “stimulant-like” effects in the brain by activating “mu-opioid receptors”

I figured you were just being funny, but I’m feeling talkative today, lol

People always say this on stories about “obvious” findings, but it’s important to have verifiable studies to cite in arguments for policy, law, etc. It’s kinda sad that it’s needed, but formal investigations are a big step up from just saying, “I’m pretty sure this technology is bullshit.”

I don’t need a formal study to tell me that drinking 12 cans of soda a day is bad for my health. But a study that’s been replicated by multiple independent groups makes it way easier to argue to a committee.

I’m not sure I understand the wisdom here. It comes off as “we live in a society”-esque. And doesn’t really acknowledge just how many people protested the Vietnam war.

“Sure, I murdered those people, but aren’t all of the complacent, disaffected, yet broadly powerless masses equally responsible for their nation’s unjust acts of military violence? We’re not so different, you and I.”

Here’s a thought experiment you might find worth pondering:

Assume, for this experiment, that becoming more mentally healthy definitely leads to being less artistic. You still make art, but it isn’t as good or profound as before.

Given that premise, would you forgo happiness for the sake of your art? Would you recommend others do the same? If you could offer Van Gogh advice, would you tell him to avoid help and embrace suffering so that he could produce nice paintings?

Not every Jellyfin user is also the server administrator. If someone sets up a server and shares that server with 5 people, most of those users aren’t concerned with the privacy implications of how they connect to the server; they just want to consume content as easily as they do with Netflix, Disney, etc.

Ahh, silly me. I didn’t even notice that gear icon was there. Thanks for looking into this feature though!

Seems pretty handy. So far the extension works pretty well.

In testing out the Firefox version of the extension, I found that it would be nice if there were a “copy to clipboard” button near the “Subscribe” button for users who just want the RSS URL. I host a FreshRSS instance so the “Subscribe” button doesn’t do anything for me. Triple-clicking the URL works to highlight it all, but a single-click copy button would be a nice QoL improvement.

Even if the interface may feel similar to you.

I would say it’s more than just the interface that makes Lemmy similar to Reddit. To end users, they are virtually identical services in terms of functionality. Link aggregators with built-in community forums. I think it’s fair to call Lemmy a federated Reddit clone. Not to suggest Reddit invented any of the aforementioned features, just that Lemmy’s implementation of said features is in many ways identical to Reddit’s approach because it was meant to be a Reddit alternative for the fediverse.

Even the official Lemmy git repository compares the project to Reddit:

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you’re interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them.
