Over a year ago. More specifically "March 20th, 2024" from the archlinux.org website.
Mostly the package manager and even the rolling distros' packages being more outdated than arch everytime. AUR is also very nice to have. The only distro I found that did spike my interest alot was NixOS.
Oh, so someone did use it. Lol
I switched to Arch Linux for the memes, but now am unable to leave it. I've tried a few dozen distros, but none of them are as good as arch for me, I always come back to it. It's like arch is my perfect distro.
What took them so long?
Fixed community tag:
oh no! wasn't bluesky decentralized and federated?!? how is this possible?!? /s
Invisibly locked posts?
Locking for rule 5.
Let's see who considers the Linux options when they see they can get the same machine for 200 bucks cheaper. I hope other brands start considering doing this too.
If you want a bit more detail, look at my edit. The functions to calculate the hot and scaled for content is now there.
No, it is not weird. Scaled, according to the docs, is like Hot, but less active communities' posts get a boost.
Edit: here's a bit more detail
The exact function to calculate the scaled rank is this one:
sql
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION scaled_rank (score numeric, published timestamp with time zone, users_active_month numeric)
RETURNS float
AS $$
BEGIN
-- Add 2 to avoid divide by zero errors
-- Default for score = 1, active users = 1, and now, is (0.1728 / log(2 + 1)) = 0.3621
-- There may need to be a scale factor multiplied to users_active_month, to make
-- the log curve less pronounced. This can be tuned in the future.
RETURN (hot_rank (score, published) / log(2 + users_active_month));
END;
The hot rank is calculated like this:
sql
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION hot_rank (score numeric, published timestamp without time zone)
RETURNS integer
AS $$
BEGIN
-- hours_diff:=EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (timezone('utc',now()) - published))/3600
RETURN floor(10000 * log(greatest (1, score + 3)) / power(((EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (timezone('utc', now()) - published)) / 3600) + 2), 1.8))::integer;
END;
Is it me or does Soyjak use Windows?
Frankly, I don't like dansup and his cocky behaviour. But if Sup ever does become reality, then it will be a real alternative. And no, Loops is not federated.
Rust can be a pain in the ass when you are writing the code, but once you wrap your head around its concepts, the pain will ease and you'll appreciate them.
Sup is one. It's from the dev of Pixelfed. Unlike the other non-fediverse platforms the others mentioned here (XMPP and Matrix), it will use the ActivityPub protocol and will be E2EE.

Interstellar exists
A PvP and PvE game with orange and blue teams
Solved: Blacklight: Retribution
Platform(s): PlayStation 4, Computer?
Genre: Singleplayer/Multiplayer shooter, Sci-Fi
Estimated year of release: 2013
Graphics/art style: 3D
Notable characters: Halo-like players (in orange and blue teams), zombies
Notable gameplay mechanics: PvP, PvE
Other details:
The most I can remember is there being a PvP mode, where orange and blue team were fighting each other. The other one is PvE mode, where people fought against zombies. I also remember that the armors the players wore seemed kind of like Halo's armor and there being some sort of player-driveable robot in the game.
2 Instances are being used for coordinated vote manipulation, and should be defederated. chinese.lol lemmy.doesnotexist.club
The attacker seems to be the admin of those two instances. Both instances have their registrations closed.
Edit: It is now open for both of them, or was already. I checked the Fediseer page for both instances and it still says that their registrations are closed.
Though it is suspicious that no captcha, email confirmation or manual approval is required for both of these instances. The admin of lemmy.doesnotexist.club seems to be inactive since their account creation yet this instance is still running. If the admin is the attacker, it could also be that they are the one behind the recent nicole spam.

Comment in locked posts as admin/mod
Lemmy version 0.19.4 added the ability for admins and mods to comment in locked posts. This comes in handy somtimes.
lemsha.re - Lemmy shareable links
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/59380380
Hey 👋,
I got frustrated with the friction for users from direct links to all the different instances they don't have accounts for and built https://lemsha.re/
It's inspired by matrix.to - but built for Lemmy content.
If a user clicks a lemsha.re link the user will be presented with two options:
- visit the original link, or
- view the same content - but on their preferred instance
Hope you find it useful.
What is your opinion on content discoverability in the Fediverse?
List of requests
Here are a few features that I think would be good to add:
Administration & Moderation
- Signup applications (under the Reports button in Inbox would be ideal)
- View votes (afaik mods should also be able to view votes in their communities)
- Perhaps some sort of administration panel
- Merge "Admin tools" and "Mod tools"
- View moderation & report history for users
- Better modlog UI
- Checks for whether or not some mod actions can be done on a user and hide options that can't be applied
- Add "Feature Post in instance" to posts
Create new post dialog
- Rename "Compose post" to "Body" or "Text"
- Pre-expand text field area
- Add new field for thumbnail URL
- Allow choosing post language
Create new comment dialog
- Allow choosing comment language
- See who you are replying to in addition to the comment content
Media
- View & manage uploaded media
- Add option to loop videos
- Add option to unblur NSFW images when in NSFW communities
Other
- More user friendly errors
Change "Feature comment" button text to "Distinguish"
To bring it in line with official Lemmy terminology, this should be used instead. The star symbol should probably also be a shield instead of a star, and it should also not be displayed if the comment is from someone other than you.

Do you need complete silence to read books?
I often find myself reading something on the bus or subway, but then not understand anything I read. This seems to be because of the constant noises. Not even instrumental music helps, as that distracts me as well and also does not always match the theme of the book.
The best working one in noisy places seems to be white noise, with complete silence being the best overall. How do yall handle such situations?
What actually happens to the communities whose instances shut down?
Is it still possible to interact with the communities (post, vote, etc.)? If yes, is it still possible to delete them if the ownership of the community (aka the top mod) belongs to an user from another instance?
I'd just like to interject for a moment.
