Should bot comments contribute to the comment count for regular users? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think separating them improves the user experience for regular users, which I think counts as a real advantage. As I wrote in the body text:

As-is seeing an indication of a comment for a post only for it to turn out to be a bot is slightly disappointing at best, and mildly confusing at worst when their display has been disabled.

It's a small detail, but small details add up when it comes to the user experience.

Should bot comments contribute to the comment count for regular users? (lemm.ee)
 

For admins and moderators, keeping the comment counts including bot comments visible (especially in a moderators' own communities) may be valuable, but not sure if it's all that valuable for ordinary users.

Would it be possible to make it so bot comments don't add to the counts for regular users, or at least for those that have disabled the display of bot posts/comments? As-is seeing an indication of a comment for a post only for it to turn out to be a bot is slightly disappointing at best, and mildly confusing at worst when their display has been disabled.

The level of engagement on Reddit these days in c/[email protected]

Does it sometimes seem like commenting in high traffic online spaces feels this way too, not just Reddit?

Any odd stories from that job?

Was it a matter of some good timing that these casts were able to be made? That is, with enough time, wouldn't the voids/cavities themselves likely collapse with the gradual shifting of the soil?

Why don't more filtering systems enable sorting by least viewed/visited, including for older pages/material? (lemm.ee)
 

Sometimes what I'm interested in may be more specific or niche, but a lot of search engines and filtering systems don't seem to provide a way to drill down to those results. What may be some reasons behind that?

Or am I overlooking some obvious ways to search/filter this way?

Tbh I didn't mean to Lemmy, so much as simply off Twitter in general, preferably to a non-corporate social site. It may be naive/idealistic, but I think those most inclined to leave would be the better of the bunch, and those in-between are more apt to go to another corporate site anyway (e.g. Threads).

Do the add-ons you use specifically target Facebook? If so, what are you using to mitigate its manipulative/predatory designs?

How might we help and encourage people to leave Twitter?

Do people think it's a good thing, or simply the thing where those they know are?

Like the classic game Rogue? Have you played Brogue Community Edition? (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/27550316 in [email protected]

Brogue's a more up to date spin on the classic game Rogue, with some slight modern touches to make it more approachable to newcomers while keeping to the spirit of the original.

Where to find online communities of people making stuff mainly as a hobby? (lemm.ee)
 

Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.

“Nothing” doesn’t exist. Instead, there is “quantum foam” in c/[email protected]

What is the ontology of a concept or idea? If nothing doesn't exist materially but strictly conceptually, does it not exist or is there a different term one should employ to refer to it? 🤔

Have you seen Publii yet? Dunno how well it works on Linux, but there's a version for Linux as well.

What's been an interesting safe for life linkhole you've found on the web recently? (lemm.ee)
 

There's probably a different word for it, but linkhole like rabbithole.

You went to this one site, and it mentioned some other site, and they kept your interest and kept linking on to others and you've surfaced just long enough to share here.

KDE Connect should only enable downloading files from allowed directories, right? [issue report found, may be very old notifications] in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Fairly certain, as I hadn't downloaded anything on my phone when away from my PC that would have produced a notification to mirror. Also, sorry, I should have mentioned from the start that I typically run my phone in Do Not Disturb and Silent to minimize any notifications whatsoever.

On further digging I did notice that it looks as though the files mentioned in the notifications may have been downloads, but from literally years ago in, I think, every case (e.g. from 2018!). I don't think I even had Connect installed back then to have caught those notifications. 🤨

I was working on some stuff on my PC and stepped away for a bit, and on returning noticed notifications on it that some files had been downloaded via KDE Connect from my phone. I was using my phone at the time, and didn't send the files.

I know that you can quietly download files from a phone with its paired device (i.e. no notification on the phone, nor prompting permission) from allowed directories, but these files weren't from those directories, so...What may have happened here?

Glitched notifications, or something else?

Also, the downloaded files weren't anywhere on my PC, so... 😕

edit:
I found an issue report I think may be what I was seeing: KDE Connect spams the desktop with a torrent of old notifications.

What details/tools have you found help people transition to similar, open software from closed software, or think could help? (lemm.ee)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/30719639 in [email protected]

I'm thinking of ways to help people move from established software to more open, flexible forms that don't lock them to another organization.
