Oh, there was nothing wrong with the gist of what they said, it was the personal commentary at the beginning that was unneeded. If they had skipped that then their point would have been likely considered more thoughtfully by those reading.

…Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh… What have I done with my life?

No, ignorant takes like yours are the real problem.

Is this Reddit?! (Looks up at title bar in confusion.)

No…well, this is odd.

Canada Communication Consortium

Yes. Even when I know what the limits are, and why, the thing lulls you into responding as if it were a conscious agent. The downside of the way it produces speech.

Yup, exactly what I experienced too.

Thumbs up! I like it.

As always, the limits of tolerance are met when it comes to suggesting we tolerate intolerance. The boundary must be set there.

When I was a kid we had a television that used an ultrasonic remote. Not quite like this one though, ours did use batteries. But, similarly, it was dead simple with only three buttons. One for on/off volume (each time you clicked it the TV would reduce in volume with three distinct settings, then the fourth click would turn the TV off) and the other two for ‘channel up’ and ‘channel down’. The TV’s mechanical tuner would very audibly ‘chunk, chunk, chunk’ up or down each time you hit the button.

And yes, our dog hated it as he could hear the ultrasonic signal, and yes, jangling keys near the TV could cause it change volume, turn off or on, or the channel to change.

Sounds a bit like my nephew asking about why we say we ‘dial’ a phone number.

I still haven’t figured out what ‘spirituality’ is supposed to mean. It’s a word used in so many vague, fuzzy, and often contradictory ways that it seems to be basically meaningless. Mostly it seems it’s used as a rough synonym for ‘emotion’, usually the emotions of awe and wonder. So sure, I agree that healthy emotions are good for our mental health. That is unsurprising.

I just watched 12 Angry Men (1957) for the first time and it is incredible.

Absolutely. It’s a timeless masterpiece in my opinion.

…and now it’s there with the new update! Nice!

Thanks, I’ll take a look and give this a try.

Edit: Looks like the subscribed communities dropdown has been added to the latest version of mlmym so perhaps I won’t need it on the old.lemmy.* sites

Holy crap that was fast!!! And it now has the ‘My communities’ dropdown, which makes it much better! Thanks!!

The latest version of mlmym includes the subscribed commuunities dropdown in the top bar. Can mlmym be updated to this version, please? The lack of access to one’s subscribed communities makes it borderline unusable atm despite how much I like it.

Awesome, thanks for the update and new features!

Would it be possible to make the script work with old.lemmy.ca (and old.lemmy.world, etc) as well? The lack of access to subscribed communities on the old.* frontend, despite its advantages, makes it borderline unusable.

Your account is only your account on one instance. You can have other accounts on other instances. However, you can access and post to all of the communities, content, and posts on all federated instances from your one account on one instance.

So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account.

Why are you needing to do that? You only need one account on one instance and you can subscribe to all the things you want on every instance (assuming that it hasn’t been defederated for some reason). That way you’ll only have one account with one list of subscribed communities instead of differing ones on different accounts.
