finally. i had to remove the power steering pump, alternator, move the front frame bracket, radiator fan and coolant overflow tank, and loosen one motor mount and raise the engine, just to get to the AC compressor.
now we get to find out exactly what was wrong with this thing
it's hard to overstate how much of a pain in the ass that was. hopefully i'll replace the whole pump while i'm in there not just trying to mess with the magnetic clutch mechanism. that's a bit of a toss-up cause an old OEM denso pump even though it looks like crap could still be better than a new amazon aftermarket pump. so i'll have to see what amazon sends me tomorrow and decide
i suppose i could pay $500 for a new OEM acura compressor but i'd rather not. now that i know how to do this and all the stuck bolts are broken loose, it'll be a lot easier next time if necessary
ok so hear me out. i just realized the low bolt clearance could be related to the excessive idle vibration. there are two fluid filled engine mounts in this car and they've almost certainly leaked out by now, which could have the engine dropped in a lower position than normal, which put the AC compressor too close to the sub frame 🧠
it all makes sense now. i definitely need to change all 4 engine mounts. that should take care of the idle vibration. it's a known issue with these cars when they get old
this would also explain why there was no mention of having to raise the engine to remove the AC compressor in the service manual. i was thinking dudes did you not bother to do this procedure before writing the manual? but yes they did, they just didn't have sagging blown out engine mounts
#Norway / Divestment from occupied territories rejected
Norway rejects call to divest wealth fund from Israeli-occupied territories. Despite emotional debates and protests, Norwegian MPs voted against proposals to stop the country's sovereign wealth fund from investing in companies contributing to Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. The decision maintains Norway's position as the largest European investor in #Israel's occupation.
Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg stated that Norway has "an established ethical regime for the fund" and that they "divest from the companies that contribute to Israel's breach of international law, but we do not divest from all companies that are present on the ground".
Thinking back to a couple months back when I was talking to my woman and said something along the lines of “it’s really easy to get people to do exactly what you want, you’ve just got to read them and make a half decent guess about what they want” and I had to awkwardly back track and tell her I don’t do that on her
I've been climbing to the tops of my Leyland Cypress trees in order to prune the tops of them off since they've begun to get tall enough to block a lot of our view. They are currently dumping a lot of pollen, and I think I may be allergic to it, as I feel pretty freaking awful after climbing up one over my lunch break today. Ever had your tongue feel itchy?
I guess I haven't been paying enough attention, but Intel's APX is a really big update to their ISA: - 32 GP registers - setting flags is optional in many cases - instructions take 3 operands instead of 2

Eine neue Recherche von +972 & Local Call über die aktuelle Kriegsführung deckt auf, dass die israelische Armee crappy Algorithmen, die auf falschen Annahmen basieren, verwendet, die angeben sollen, dass ein Nachbarschaft evakuiert sei.
Wenn der Algorithmus "grün" sagt wird bombardiert, angegriffen - auch wenn klar ist, dass dort noch jede Menschen drin sind.
Es wird dabei von einer Belegung einer Nachbarschaft mit Personen ausgegangen. Wenn anhand von Mobilfunkdaten der Algorithmus berechnet dass nur noch 0-20% der erwarteten Personen anwesend sind - "grün" genannt, wird angegriffen.
Die israelische Armee macht es sich einfach & definiert die Gebiete dann als evakuiert. Theoretische 80% weniger anwesende Menschen reichen ihnen dann völlig aus als Abschätzung. In der Realität sind meist noch jede Menge Personen vor Ort. Wo sollen sie auch hin?
»Before designating a neighborhood as “green,” the intelligence algorithm calculates the number of residents in each house according to the area’s estimated evacuation rate. If the algorithm estimates that 80 percent of residents have left, then the expected number of casualties per house is reduced by 80 percent, often without dedicating time to a detailed examination. In a house where 10 Palestinians lived before the war, for example, the system would show that only two remained.«
»It’s a statistical approach to errors,” said one intelligence source.
In this way, the army can approve more airstrikes and claim they adhere to the principle of proportionality, sources said. They added that the army does not conduct post-strike assessments to determine how many civilians were actually killed, and for this reason, it also does not know how many Palestinians it has killed since October 7. «
»While the statistical calculation falsely estimates the number of civilians in each house, the mass killing of civilians in Gaza is not a result of a mistake, but a direct consequence of Israel’s lenient policies regarding civilian harm, multiple sources have said. As previously reported by +972 Magazine and Local Call, army policy allowed officers to kill up to 20 civilians in each house where a junior militant was present and hundreds of civilians when the target was more senior.«
Die meisten der Personen, die die israelische Armee seit dem Bruch des "Waffenstillstands" als Ziel anvisierte waren nur kleine Fische, und damit ein vernachlässigbarer militärischer Wert.
Viele der Angriffe töteten nur Zivilisten, weil überhaupt nicht klar war ob die Zielpersonen überhaupt anwesend sind. Eine Prüfung vor dem Angriff sparte man sich weitgehend.
»The two sources explained that since Israel violated the ceasefire in March, most of the military personnel the Israeli army has targeted are low-level, and at times have no rank at all — classified in intelligence records merely as “operative,” indicating a status even lower than that of squad leaders or platoon commanders, and thus of negligible military value. «
»According to one of the sources, in recent weeks, many of these attacks only killed civilians and were carried out despite uncertainty about whether they would hit any military targets. Such “misses,” according to several sources, stem from military policies that allow strikes to go ahead without thorough checks — for example, without verifying in real-time that the target is actually present in the building.«
Ohnehin ist keine Gegend frei vom Zivilisten. Selbst in den Bereichen die die israelische Armee kontrolliert, verbleiben meist insbesondere besonders vulnerable Personen. Es gibt ja keine Evakuierungen nach der eigentlichen Definition des Wortes.
»No neighborhood in Gaza is fully evacuated,” Shehada said. “Even in areas Israel has been occupying for some time, there would be elderly people, people with disabilities, pregnant women, kids, and orphans who have no one to help them evacuate.”«
»Shehada explained that since Hamas or Hamas-affiliated individuals are present everywhere in Gaza, these bombing policies amount to “basically carpet bombing or indiscriminate bombing, using unarmed, rank-and-file Hamas members as a pretext to achieve the real goal, which is maximum destruction.” He noted that prior to October 7, Israel would bomb civilian infrastructure in Gaza to deter the population from supporting Hamas, but this time “it’s not about deterrence, it’s about extermination.”«
»Since Israel violated the ceasefire in March, airstrikes have killed dozens of Palestinians in Gaza every day, the vast majority of which the Israeli army has confirmed are civilians. In May, the average death rate in Gaza stood at 62 people per day, according to reports from the Ministry of Health.«
»Several of the deadliest airstrikes in recent weeks have targeted schools and hospitals filled with refugees as part of a deliberate strategy, according to a new investigation by The Guardian. Previously considered “sensitive sites,” these locations are now also categorized by the military as “heavy centers” (based on the claim that they host a high concentration of Hamas operatives), and the procedures for authorizing airstrikes against them have been relaxed.«
»Since early May, the army has hit at least six schools in Gaza, killing more than 120 Palestinians. +972 and Local Call has learned that in one of the recently bombed schools, the number of civilians killed was three times higher than the number of people the army estimated to be there.«
»The testimony of the two intelligence sources, along with those of two additional security sources who were in Gaza in recent months, reinforces this claim. Acc. to the int. sources, since March, airstrikes have often been carried out simply “for the sake of attacking,” with no significant direct military value. “There aren’t many targets left. Everyone who mattered has already been killed or is hiding really well. So they’re forcefully looking for targets, and these are just very low quality”«
»“Instead of in-and-out operations, it’s enter and flatten. Every area the IDF takes, the IDF flattens,” he explained. “The idea is ultimately to push everyone into Al-Mawasi and turn a single neighborhood into the home of two million people, fenced in and controlled by the military, with access only through checkpoints, and the only place where humanitarian aid is brought in.
“The army doesn’t use the words ‘ghetto’ or ‘ethnic cleansing,’” he added, “[but] it’s a de facto ghetto.”«
Editorial: It is in Israel’s interest to allow humanitarian aid to come into what the UN has called ‘the hungriest place on Earth’. The rest of the world must make Netanyahu see sense
The government yesterday introduced the Strong Border Act (Bill C-2), legislation that was promoted as establishing new border measure provisions presumably designed to address U.S. concerns regarding the border.
„The exports show how Israel is pursuing new markets as its forces battle on multiple fronts. Israel sold more weapons to other countries in 2024 than ever, government officials said on Wednesday, even as it fought on multiple fronts in the longest war in its history. Israeli producers signed contracts to export about $14.8 billion in weapons last year (…).“
#Palestine / IDF promotes officer accused of ordering soldiers to shoot Gazans carrying white flag
An IDF officer was promoted to battalion commander despite a pending decision on whether to investigate reports that he ordered soldiers to shoot two #Gazans carrying a white flag in 2024. Soldiers reported the officer's "shoot-to-kill" order, which was countermanded by another officer.
Haim Har-Zahav, a soldier who wrote an op-ed in #Haaretz about an incident he witnessed in 2024 along the Netzarim corridor, discussed an incident where an officer ordered soldiers to shoot two Gazans carrying a white flag. He highlighted that the order was disregarded because it was recognized as manifestly illegal, which, to him, demonstrated the value of the IDF's ethical code. However, he also emphasized that the lives of Palestinians often depend on the individual ethical standards of the commanders on the ground, leading to inconsistent and potentially deadly outcomes.
[…] "The lives of the Palestinians in Gaza depend first and foremost on the private and personal ethical code of the commanders on the ground... Those who want to kill Arabs, because they are Arabs, will kill Arabs. No one will ask them questions, and no one will investigate or punish them. Those who want to maintain their humanity will do so, but will also know that their replacements in the Gaza Strip might not share the same moral and ethical code. Consequently, the person who survived thanks to a decision made by one officer will die of a command given by the next. If not tomorrow, then the next day"
The IDF stated the incident is under investigation.
An IDF commander was said to have issued a shoot-to-kill order against two Gazans carrying a white flag, which was dismissed by other officers who deemed it illegal.
The Indian governmental incursion must've been part of the original script as all the actors were perfectly lined up and ready to go right at the start.
So per script we're also supposed to be in an entirely different place where novelty injections are now accepted as perfectly normal and fine. Everyone has already come to accept that a deadly invisible pathogen gone 'endemic' so obviously we're going to need plenty of government help going forward willingly or unwilling. vaxpass and digital id been in place for several years and BTC is everyone's favourite novelty currency.
That's the world in which all this was supposed to have happened. But it's not so obviously not an ideal situation for the people running this show. They're essentially just trying out the new arrangement to see how well it goes down. So far not many complaining which means the fluoride supplement is working a treat.
It's likely that Americans who'd want to radically reshape the US (and the same principal will hold in other nations) would make use of foreign and dual nationality individuals because those people will have less misgiving about following radical paths.
For instance, in the UK we've had government ministers who were likely picked up by our security services and selected for power at a young age from abroad. Those people won't care about preserving a way of life.
There's likely political value here in portraying this as an external attack, but is it _only_ that? Could they get away with this if the most powerful local forces did not see this as beneficial to them? I doubt it.
Although much smaller in scale, an analogy here would be the role played by the Israelis in taking down Corbyn for installing Starmer as leader of the UK Labour party. I expect the UK security services approved this on behalf of their backers: co-opting foreign nationals and embassy staff then provides a kind of plausible deniability.
And perhaps that deniability is why the script was written like this.
Once they resort to pulling a race card you'll know that's all they have left. You can then point to their caste system at which point it's all over. Worth keeping that in mind
He's good. I admit to only having listened to a few of his podcasts. I can't say many others have heard of him. I think one other person mentioned him to me at work one time, possibly around 2021.
I read Alford and Secker's National Security Cinema. They totally missed the transhumanism angle on Avatar, regarding it as a pacifist film which slipped through the net.
Films are Not Your Friends, which used to be on Youtube was my eye-opener on the scale of the security state interference in movies and TV.

@ashleygjovik ive used gpt to write bash scripts. ive never tried to get it to like, "do writing" before. it seems like it would spew weird hallucinatory nonsense.
pretty much all ive used it for is like, dumb stock trady bullshits, and python/bash. occasionally some linux config stuff and to help me find competing products, but never more than like, a paragraphs worth of thinking. any more and it goes haywire real fast.
It works quite well if you design very strict instructions of what it needs to do, and how it needs to do it. I have used it to do complex analysis and drafting, but I have to basically have to treat it like i'm developing a little app and give it a tiny universe to operate in, and make it run QA & failure analysis on itself. Once I set that up, it automates a ton of stuff, but it cannot be left unsupervised.
Thats exactly right. I realized that because I don't code, it kind of lets me code via chat, which can be super helpful, but like, I should probably just learn to code.
@ashleygjovik If you have to go in and correct AI because you immediately know it's wrong, it's not doing a better job than you are. It's like you hired a crappy assistant complete with trying to cover up mistakes.

i can't believe how close they put these AC compressor bolts to the frame. looks freaking impossible to remove. i usually love honda engineering but this is getting on my nerves
praise the Lord i am going to have to unbolt the engine and raise it a bit cause this bolt is too close to the frame. there is no freaking clearance to remove it
whose crack pot idea was it to make you have to partially remove an engine just to get at the AC compressor. these honda engineers just want me to roast in this all black car

no, don't tell how to do this. i am ranting. you can't "fix" it.
apple just continues to suck worse and worse. they have apparently fired anyone who has ever had any expertise in UI/UX.
i now have to use the *search* function in the control panel to find the printer. really?
i have used apple since the mac+ finder/system days, unix for years, windows since 3.11. i have suffered through all sorts of system control panels, good and bad.
the current apple OS is amongst the worst.
i can only imagine what will happen as more and more folks with what little UI/UX they still have are replaced with AI.
i truly pity anyone that needs actual accessibility features.
i had to figure out a nortel meridian PBX once, though it's never been on my resume for fear someone might make me do it again.
i do tech support for my mom and she keeps blaming herself for not getting how to use web sites, apps, etc. and i keep telling her it's mostly not her fault at all.
so, the nortel meridian. we were a small company, so we couldn't afford to send anyone to X11 school to learn how to program it. instead, 2 of us did a 40 hour work weekend figuring out how to get 45 phones to ring with the right numbers and mostly have the right buttons and features.
by 11:30pm Sun, we were getting a bit punchy, so we had the full name field for the president/founder's phone just say "God".
by 2am or so, we'd mostly gotten things working and went home and forgot all about this.
well, until about 3 months later when a temp receptionist got totally freaked out that God was calling the front desk...
fortunately, the founder was a geek too and found it kind of amusing. the temp agency a bit less so...
so many schemes. simpsons. south park. tolkien. creatures that fought godzilla (winning name "bambi"). worst was "greek liturgical terms".
one of my first jobs had a test lab and the engineers kept renaming the servers constantly, breaking other engineer scripts, etc.

There are several reasons why I hesitate to identify as a Christian. One of the big ones is because I’m not entirely sure I believe in the existence of God, or any gods. Thus far, my approach has been to take Pascal’s wager, but that’s not a viable long-term solution to the problem.
The other big one is, well, other Christians.
I once saw a bumper sticker that read, “Jesus, save me from your followers.” At the time, I was a far more committed Christian, and I found myself offended at the notion. But now? I watch in horror as white evangelicals and conservative Catholics embrace Donald Trump, MAGA, and the moral rot they represent. Consider Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, whose response to the potential Medicare/Medicaid cuts was, “We’re all going to die.” Later, she followed up with, “For those who would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my lord and savior, Jesus Christ.”
With no due respect, senator, that’s not the Jesus I read about in the Gospel. The Jesus I read about in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (yes, I read all four in their entirety) repeatedly stressed the importance of loving your neighbor. (And there’s a preponderance of evidence that by neighbor, Jesus meant EVERYONE, not just the people you like/love. See Matthew 5:46-48 for one example.) He even referred to it as the greatest commandment. Evangelicals love to quote John 3:16, but maybe they should spend more time with John 13:34-35: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this, all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Rev. Dr. William Barber II understood the assignment. That’s why he’s been protesting and praying in the Capitol Rotunda, and why he’s doing everything in his power to stop Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill”. He rightly points out that there’s nothing Christian about the bill, which takes from the poor and gives to the rich, in clear violation of Matthew 6:24: “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
So yeah, there are good Christians out there. Quite a few, really! The problem is, their voices are being drowned out by those who invoke Christ, but are nowhere near Christ-like in their beliefs and behavior. As long as that’s true, wearing the label—and indeed, anything that makes that label apparent to others—feels like putting a massive target on my back.
As a Filipina queer woman, I already have several targets on my back from that intersection of marginalized identities. It’s bad enough that I’m catching flak for who I am—things that are inherent parts of me, not things I chose. It’s even worse catching flak for all the terrible choices other so-called Christians have made, even though I bear no responsibility for any of it.
Yet, I can’t deny that my ethics are Christian ethics. I’ve been reflecting on this, and it all comes back to two things: Luke 10:25-37 (The Parable of the Good Samaritan) and Matthew 25:31-46 (The Sheep and the Goats). The former outlines what’s expected of those who follow Christ and his ways. The latter makes it clear that love for others (specifically, “the least of these”) is part and parcel of loving God. Failure to do so is grounds for eternal damnation. Jesus is not subtle about it.
And yet, all these white evangelicals and conservative Catholics conveniently skip over this part. Mind you, I’m aware of the specific prohibition against judging others, as laid out in Matthew 7:1-7 and Luke 6:37-38. But I’d argue that pointing out this significant flaw is itself an act of love. It’s not like I want these people to suffer eternal damnation. (No, really!) But if they continue on the path they laid out for themselves, it’s more or less guaranteed.
(Mind you, I firmly believe that there are other valid sources for learning ethics and morality, both religious and secular. There are multiple roads that lead to the same destination, and I’m not about to sit here and dictate which one people should follow. All I really want is for people to pick whichever ones suits them, because damn, the absolute dearth of ethics and morality is one of the big reasons why we’re facing down all these crises.)
White evangelicals and conservative Catholics would like you to think that Christianity and progressive politics are fundamentally opposed to one another.
To that I say, I adopted progressive political positions not in spite of my Catholic/Christian upbringing, but BECAUSE OF my Catholic/Christian upbringing. Far from being opposed, these parts of me operate hand in hand, in perfect harmony.
I’m not the only one. There are many other Catholics/Christians who arrived at the same place in largely the same manner.
Conservatives may accuse me of picking and choosing only the bits I like. But y’all, so did they.
I have similar feelings, I read a book by Obery M. Hendricks Jr , "Christians Against Christianity: How Right-Wing Evangelicals Are Destroying Our Nation and Our Faith," and it made a lot of sense. The people that have chosen "christian" nationalism don't represent the faith you see in the Bible, or you want to see from Christians.
@BritishKoalaTea It’s funny you mention that! I read the book not too long ago—though it may be more accurate to say I devoured it, since it only took me about a day and a half to finish it.
At best, I’m an amateur when it comes to the Bible and Christian theology in general. It heartened me to know that a man who has devoted his life to deep study of the faith wound up in more or less the same place I did—though yeah, he was definitely better equipped to explain his reasoning.
In any event, it’s comforting to know I’m not alone.
the idea of a god has never made any emotional or logical sense to me. But I don't dislike the teachings of (maybe a real person, maybe a combination of people or not) Jesus or other such "gurus" of the religious world. Ultimately I note that there are mean spirited and good hearted people and that their religion, or lack of it, has nothing to do with how they are and how they behave.
Personally, I think we are all capable of exploring the world and learning as we go along, how to be good humans, where things are not clearly good or bad.
HAPPY KILLDOZER DAY FRENS ! On June 4th, 2004, a sixty-three-ton bulldozer, fortified with steel and concrete, systematically destroyed numerous businesses and homes in the small mountain town of Granby, Colorado. The rampage lasted over two hours and resulted in more than eight million dollars in damage. State and local police were incapable of even slowing the machine. Though it was armed with three high-powered firearms, no one but the driver was killed. His name was Marvin Heemeyer. #killdozer #killdozerday #happykilldozerday #marvinheemeyer #dontmesswithmarvin

The Agenda: Their Vision | Your Future is a feature-length independent documentary produced by Mark Sharman; former UK broadcasting executive at ITV and Sky (formerly BSkyB).
In fiction and fact, there have always been people and organisations with ambitions to control the world. And now the oligarchs who pull the strings of finance and power finally have the tools to achieve their global objectives; omnipresent surveillance, artificial intelligence, digital currency and ultimately digital identities. The potential for social control of our lives and minds is alarmingly real.
The plan has been decades in the making and has seen infiltration of Governments, local councils, big business, civil society, the media and, crucially, education. A ceaseless push for a new reality, echoing Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, or George Orwell’s 1984.
The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future examines the digital prison which awaits us if we do not push back right now. How your food, energy, money, travel and even your access to the internet could be limited and controlled; how financial power is strangling democracy and how global institutions like the World Health Organisation are commandeered to champion ideological and fiscal objectives.
The centrepiece is man-made climate change and with it, the race to Net Zero. Both are encapsulated in the United Nations and its Agenda 2030. A force for good? Or “a blank cheque for totalitarian global control”?

Lemmy is a federated social link aggregation and discussion platform. It’s being developed by the Lemmy devs
About Federation
What does federation mean?
It means Lemmy is using a protocol (Activitypub) which makes it possible for all Lemmy servers to interact with each other.
Think of it a bit like email - you send a message from your gmail account to your friend's outlook account. You're on different servers, but all your messages are shared between you both.
You can search and view communities on remote servers from here
You can create posts in remote communities
You can respond to remote posts
You will be notified (if you wish) of comments on your remote posts
You can follow Lemmy users/communities on other platforms that also use the Activitypub protocol like Mastodon
Please note that a server only starts indexing a server/community once it has been interacted with by a user of this server.
About Lemmy.zip
Lemmy.zip is a Lemmy server aimed at welcoming all and providing a space for all types of topics and discussions, with maybe a slant towards technology and all things related. We are one of the many servers hosting the Lemmy software.
Quick Start Guide
- Feed
Your feed may look relatively empty when you first join, with just the Lemmy.zip posts available. This is because by default your view is set to "Local". You can use the options at the top of your feed to see more posts.
"Subscribed" will show you the communities you have subscribed to.
"Local" will show just posts from communities that are local to Lemmy.zip.
"All" will show posts from all communities that have been subscribed to by members of Lemmy.zip from across all servers.
You can also sort your feed by different options, such as "Active", "Hot", and "New".
I fully recommend "Hot" for a good turnover of posts in your feed.
You can set the default Sort and Type in your user settings to your taste.
If you can't see your own posts in the feed, go to your settings and make sure Show Read Posts is turned ON!
To help new users settle in to Lemmy, we've added some of what we call "Default Blocks" to your account. These are instances where the content is quite graphic (NSFW) or very political in nature. You are free to remove these whenever you want. Go to your account settings (or click here) and go to the "blocks tab". This is a list of all the blocks you have in place for users, communities, and for instances. You'll see there are already a few instances listed. If you wish to remove these blocks, click the little X next to their names, and you'll be able to interact with them.
You can add these blocks back at any time you like. (In fact, we encourage you to tailor your feed to your preference as much as possible!)
- NSFW
We are now a NSFW enabled instance, which means there may be NSFW content in the Local and All categories if you leave NSFW enabled in your account. If you do not wish to view NSFW content make sure you toggle off Show NSFW content under your Settings.
Another option is to select “Block Community” from the sidebar, when on the specific community. Once you have done that you will never see it again!
- Searching
In the top menu, you’ll see the search icon. There, you can search for posts, communities etc. You can just enter a search-word and it will find the Post-titles, post-content, communities etc containing that word that the server knows of. So any content any user of this server ever interacted with.
You can also search for a community by it’s link, e.g. !lemmy@lemmy.ml or its URL, e.g. https://lemmy@lemmy.ml/. Even if the server hasn’t ever seen that community, it will look it up remotely. Sometimes it takes some time for it to fetch the info (and displays ‘No results’ meanwhile…) so just be patient and search a second time after a few seconds. Please note search time may be increase if remote servers are experiencing high loads.
For a more in depth list of remote communities, you can visit browse.feddit.de or Lemmyverse search. From there you can copy your chosen communities URL and search for it in Lemmy.zip.
- Communities
You can subscribe to any community on another server and post/comment on that server, all from this instance. Once you've subscribed, this server will continue to pull the latest content from that community through to here.
The subscribe button is on the top right of the community. Click this will federate Lemmy.zip with that community.
You can create a community on this server too (there is no restriction on creating communities on Lemmy.zip, unlike some other instances) and anyone else will be able to subscribe to your community.
You can see all of the instances we've federated with by going here or clicking instances in the footer of the webpage.
Creating a community? Once you've created your community, you can advertise it via a couple of different communities dedicated to sharing new communties.
There is no problem with having similar communities across instances, as each can host its own discussions, but it may be a good idea to search for a community before creating it as you may find a group that has already done some of the legwork for you.
While this instance is primarily focussed around game and tech related communities, please don't feel restricted to that. Any topic is fine (and encouraged!) as long as it adheres to the general instance rules.
On Lemmy.zip, anyone can create a Community and become its moderator by default. It takes very little effort to create but requires a little bit of commitment to looking after it. You can always choose to remove yourself as moderator (and ideally hand it off to someone else) or delete it completely if needed.
- Funding
Lemmy.zip will never run ads, sell user data, or generate income in a way that isn't clear and agreed by the community.
Therefore if you're enjoying using Lemmy.zip please consider a small donation to help us keep going for the longer term.
You can see mod actions via the this link or by clicking modlog at the bottom of the page.
- Mobile Applications
We have a dedicated mobile/tablet site for those who don't want to download an app. This is a webapp and can be saved to your phone's home screen for easy access.
You can navigate to this site by going to m.lemmy.zip
If you'd prefer a native app, a full list of apps for every platform can be found by clicking here.
An alternative website is also here, where you can filter by platform or type: lemmyapps.netlify.app/
These should all work with Lemmy.zip without any issues.
- Joining Lemmy.zip
Currently there are no restrictions on joining this server. Anyone is free to join as long as they continue to follow the rules in the sidebar.
Please interact with Lemmy after you've joined. The more interactions, the better Lemmy will be (plus, it helps out Lemmy.zip too!)
- Help or Support
If you ever feel you need help or support while on Lemmy.zip, or you've seen something that isn't right or makes you feel uncomfortable, you can send Sami or Demigodrick a message and we will confidentially help. We both have secure messaging links in our profile if you'd rather message with encryption, or you can send an email to hello@lemmy.zip and we'll respond that way. We're always here to help.
- Thank you!
Thank you for joining Lemmy.zip. Please remember, the most important thing is that you enjoy yourself!
ihan kiva et työsopimuspyörien poistosta nous poru ja järjestäytymistä mut voisitteko tehdä saman vaikka sen takii et köyhät kuritetaan kodeista kadulle ja hengiltä tai koska hoitajat pystytään nyt pakottamaan töihin lähes millä ehdoilla tai palkalla tahansa vetoamalla työn välttämättömyyteen kriisitilanteessa?
#NewPipe #SailfishOS dev diary day 80. Repeated replies and my attempts to understand the Qt/QML memory ownership model: an unholy alliance between managed and garbage collected memory.
Hey. Remember when I went rogue scientist to try to figure out what Apple did to ruin my hair?
Well, down that rabbit hole, I accidentally discovered that humans share extensive DNA sequences with siphonophores (cool colonial jellyfish things) and very cute sea slugs.
Like, 2000+ base pairs, zero error rate, mathematically certain.
