Welcome!

Please, help growing Lemmy/PieFed. Create content and engage!

You should/could do a tutorial on how to do these sort of things, both get the dictionaries and format them!

The authority should be the people. A community is for the people, by the people. All a moderator needs to do is keep the community happy, by removing obvious spam. If a post is having engagement, even if it slightly breaks the rules, you let it be.

Again, a moderator is not a king. He is there to serve the will of the people. A community is made by the people/community, not by the moderator.

No, creating a new community is not the way to solve this sort of thing. Removing and banning the power tripping mod is the solution.

There is also a power tripping mod on !pics!pics@lemmy.world. See this post: https://slrpnk.net/post/34743977?scrollToComments=true

Hey there again! I tried the PT-PT dictionary and in terms of content, it is awesome. The formatting is a bit weird though. There is no formatting, everything is in the same phrase, different definitions in the same phrase gets annoying.

Is there a way to style it? For example, a word “XYZ: 1 bla bla 2 bla2 bla2” would look much better like so:

"XYZ:

1. bla bla
2. bla2 bla "

Is this something that can be done on my end? I use KOReader.

Indeed. Let’s accelerate their demise by suggesting Lemmy (and PieFed). Make sure reddit’s pieces of shit CEO and shareholders will not get to buy their 5th yacht, 10th house, and make them unable to act on their pedophile tendencies.

I did a test a few months back. Just saying “I really like Luigi” gets you banned. It got me banned. However, if you say “I really like X”, where X is a right-wing, pedophile, whoever it may be, does not. Say “I really like X”, but substitute X for, for example, Putin. It will not get you banned. Reddit staff (and CEO) is right-wing, right-wing adjacent or right-wing acting. Fuck them.

Allegedly, killed a bad person. The “allegedly” refers to the idea that Luigi was the killer, not that the dead guy was a bad person.

The only way for society to improve, is for people to be willing to sacrifice their comfort with the goal of improving society. Luigi was willing to sacrifice his comfort for the better of everyone else. The opposite makes a bad person. The dead guy was willing to sacrifice everyone’s comfort for improving his own life. One minimizes suffering. The other maximizes it.

100% agree. What alpha fold did, which had to do with protein folding, was awesome. But ya, then comes capitalism and the idiocy and comfort-seeking of society and everything is ruined for everyone…

This is absolutely insane to me. AI is destroying society.

Now is the time to stand by your principles. And if you don’t have principles, maybe raise some. Become anti-consumption and remove yourself from capitalism, as much as possible. Hate those people. You should hate them as much as possible.

Another word for “marketing” or “advertisement” is Manipulation. Shady, manipulative, tactics.

Fuck them. I love Lemmy because it seems like the ratio of like-minded people is much larger here. Nothing better than seeing other principled people that would rather give up some comforts than deal with ads and bend the knee to the pieces of shit that try to push them.

Even products in the supermarket (such as bread!!) come with ads in the fucking plastic wrapper. I have changed my bread brand due to this. I will absolutely give up any comfort to avoid your manipulation. I will fucking shower in cold water if it means I don’t bend the knee to pieces of shit.

What the fuck.

Using the QR code is probably still using Mastercard/Visa, no? As long as the money is being transfered directly from your bank account, it should be going throw Visa/Mastercard. Or am I mistaken?

I am not sure if you are aware, but there is a “fandom wiki” dictionary maker: https://github.com/Runik-3/core. I have used it in the past and it works perfectly.

Oh, both of those (street complete and every door) are great! I have just answered a few questions. This is a really easy way to improve OSM. We should probably do a “You Should Know” somewhere. I don’t think these apps are well known.

How long until the changes are accepted, do you have any idea? I already published them (by logging in my OSM account).

Hey! That is great!

What sort of apps/software do you use to update OpenStreetMap? I would also love to do something like that. Can you do a brief explanation on how you do it, please?

Giving up those socials is a great start, and often times the start is the hardest part. I don’t see Instagram though. Hopefully you have quit them and just forgot to mention, if not, consider this the universe sending you a message motivating you to delete it!

Of all the “content provider websites”, youtube is certainly the hardest part to “cut”. However, the signal to noise ratio of youtube is so low (small signal, large noise) that I pretty much don’t use it anymore. Even good channels are, more and more, going for clickbait and shitty tactics, and AI content. I didn’t really actively cut youtube, but I did so passively. It just became worse and worse that I don’t feel drawn to it as often. And, of course, when I do use youtube, ads are blocked with ublock and SponsorBlock.

Oh, this is something I don’t do, but probably should. Though I do small grocery shopping, several times, as opposed to one big one, and I do self checkout. It is so much faster to just pay with the card. It never really crossed my mind to do otherwise. I think paying with cash deserves a try though!

Myself, I am becoming as much “anti-consumption” as possible. I am removing myself from capitalism, as much as possible.

I still have to eat, of course, so I buy food. But I don’t buy food from corporations. As an example, I don’t buy anything from Nestle, nor from any big corporations. Gadgets and tech, I will be avoiding as much as possible, and if I do find myself needing to buy, I will do so but not from the usual corporations.

Social networks: only lemmy and mastodon sometimes. Fuck reddit and instagram and facebook. Don’t have an account there and never will. I don’t go there anymore.

I try to keep a “solarpunk” attitude. I do things for the good of the environment. I do/will-be-doing things such as composting, reducing the use of plastic, avoiding cars.

I am also trying to get people on board with my view of things, but I haven’t been much successful. I think principled people are very rare. People just don’t care.

This is a good way way to put it, and I hadn’t though of that. Switching “apolitical” with “fine with the status quo” is elucidating. I will be doing that from now on.

Thank you for being on lemmy!
