Yes, both the settings and post language selections are multiselect. But it feels like there’s a chicken & egg problem here: until something is done to encourage users off the default (which I would guess many don’t even know is an option), changing post language will severely limit its reach.

That I do not know for sure. But you can get the username by hovering over their display name.

Yes. If you set a display name, it displays without the “@”. If you leave the display name blank, it displays the username with the “@”.

And just like DEI teams, ethics teams will be easy to cut back on if a company runs into economic trouble.

The dropdown lets you select the language of your target audience (or at least I find that the easiest way to think about it). If you select “English” then only people who select “English” in their settings will see that post.

But because most people leave their settings at the default “Undetermined” those people won’t see a post that’s marked as “English”.

So for the moment, the best practice is to just ignore that dropdown and leave everything as “Undetermined”.

The warning banner looks to be duplicated from the Settings page, where it actually makes sense.

Sure, no argument there. There’s a choice to be made between “post the second story as a comment to the first one” and “post the second story a a separate topic”. I’m in favor of the first approach to keep discussion in one spot, but it’s not something I feel super-strongly about.

Avoiding dupes is, I think, an important one. We’ve had multiple instances on Beehaw of the same story showing up more than once. If you try to post a duplicate link, Lemmy will let you know (by showing the previous copies to you as crossposts). It’s harder to make sure you’re not posting the second or third story from a different source on the same topic. Perhaps we can just encourage people to search before posting.

I’d like the rules to at least ask people to add an image description in their original post. https://beehaw.org/post/686974 would be good to link to here.

And given the nature of many posts in the news, I think it would be good for this community to remind people to be(e) nice in their discussions.

Clearly someone needs to figure out how to get an old Furby to interact with a new Furby.

(Of course, someone has already done ChatGPT + Furby)

Beehaw’s community mods and admins have discussed this particular use case, and so far we haven’t seen anything that we’d be comfortable having on Beehaw. The summary bots have (so far) too many problems with posting misleading summaries to make them a good addition to thoughtful conversation.

Their web site is down, but their Github account is currently still available, with 3D printing files and software for their microlab.

You appear to be unable or unwilling to distinguish between “preventing births” and “voluntarily choosing not to have children.”

Not sure why you’re quite so interested in escalating the rhetoric here (forced sterilization? in a thread that started with individual action to save honeybees? really?) but in view of the first rule of Beehaw (“Be(e) nice”) I’m not interested in joining you.

Telling one person that they can help out by not having kids is rather different from, as the dictionary says

the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group

Even suggesting to a whole group of people not to have kids is not the same as killing them.

So no, it’s not a logical conclusion. It’s illogical rhetoric. But you do you, I guess.

I’m pretty sure that discovering a new isotope while working on your MS guarantees that you’ll get the degree.

Yep, I get it. Effectively block ads and javascript and it doesn’t much matter what a site wants to do. I skip the few that have actually effective paywalls (as opposed to just putting a div over content on the page - as far as I’m concerned, if it’s downloaded to my computer, I am allowed to read it). Of course, the sites that load up on ads tend to be pretty low-quality content anyhow.

This really isn’t the place for general Lemmy feature requests. The admin team here is very small and doesn’t really have the time to do custom development. A better home for that sort of thing would be the lemmy-ui Issues tracker. If you post there, though, I would urge you to make sure any given issue only has a single feature request. The way you have shown it here, it would be very hard for a developer to decide what you were asking for.

Also please note that Beehaw is explicitly not trying to be reddit, despite some confused press coverage.

I suspect that Beehaw currently is skewed, as with many online early adopter communities, to those more interested in technology and computers. I think this is more a function of the early audience, not the target audience - the target audience is anyone who wants to participate in a nice friendly online community. Personally, I’d be happy to see more content from people who do sports, whether archery or anything else.

This is why I use DuckDuckGo instead of Google, and Firefox with a few selected extensions that ensure I almost never see an ad. I would be shocked if Google enabled any long-term ad-free experience.

I’ve seen this “sub affects logitech stock” story a few times now, and I don’t find it very credible. If you look at the 1-month or longer price of the stock, it’s pretty evident that (a) a 5% intraday variation in price is totally normal and (b) the recent news that has actually hurt the stock price substantially is that their CEO resigned.

I’m skeptical that Amazon review trolls are buying enough stock to move the market.

In addition to making it easier to find authentic perspectives, we’re also improving how we rank results in Search overall, with a greater focus on content with unique expertise and experience. Last year, we launched the helpful content system to show more content made for people, and less content made to attract clicks. In the coming months, we’ll roll out an update to this system that more deeply understands content created from a personal or expert point of view, allowing us to rank more of this useful information on Search.

That seems like just a step in the inevitable AI arms race.

This is a lemmy-ui bug that is fixed in 0.18: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1348

So it should be fixed here when Beehaw upgrades to the next version.
