What news sources do you follow that offer different political perspectives from your own? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

To clarify, by news sources I mean this in broad terms, so from wherever you may get info about what's going on around you, or the world in general.

How are Misskey and its forks doing? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Thanks for yours and @JupiterRowland@sh.itjust.works's deep dive into this!

How are Misskey and its forks doing? (lemm.ee)
 

By which I mean in terms of usage, development, or stability. Also along those lines, which English-speaking instances would you recommend?

Interested as Misskey & forks have some feature edges over Mastodon in my opinion, but it's somewhat harder to find discussion/info about them.

You don't like having it duck you over when you're really trying to duck? 😜

CI/CD processes.

What does this stand for, and what are these (in layman's terms anyway, not expecting a deep dive)?

Unsurprisingly, more closely related species of similar body size and microhabitat use are more likely to be engaged in misdirected amplexus with each other.

So...They're similar enough that any arousal confusion is incidentally amplified? I guess they may not be similar enough for this behavior to be successful and produce increased genetic diversity among themselves, though? 🤨

What tools and features do you use to make enclosed social media networks more tolerable to navigate? (lemm.ee)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/44125257

By tools I mean anything from alternate frontends to add-ons/extensions for browsers or anything else. By features I mean any built-in features the service may provide to give you some degree of customization or control over your experience, e.g. lists/blocking/keyword filtering/etc.

Thanks in advance!

‘Beyond cruel’: Newsom retaliates against this LA suburb for its ban on homeless shelters in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The move — the latest escalation of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s pressure campaign on cities to help solve the housing crisis — means Norwalk could lose eligibility for state housing and homelessness grants, and be forced to approve affordable housing projects even if they conflict with city zoning.

I'm confused, how would they fund the housing projects they may be compelled to approve without the grants, given that some of the contention in all of this is an insufficient provision of resources?

Advice on building an online portfolio of work while balancing privacy? in c/privacy@lemmy.ca
[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 2 points 4 weeks ago

I find that it at least got easier after I started to think about this as I created things.

How so? Also for what it's worth, I'm not expecting answers, but some ideas or guidance, whether from others' approaches or what they've come across in others' practice.

How do bigger organizations handle spam calls/large volumes of spam calls? (lemm.ee)
 

Seems likely big businesses would be obvious targets for tons of unwanted phone calls, so how do they deal with this?

Technically, I have some online activity I could try to refer to for work purposes, but it would mean sharing content tied to usernames/profiles I think of more as casual and personal. I could delete those profiles and move the relevant work to usernames/profiles I'm willing to share, but then I'm less likely to use those as much for portfolio building as I wouldn't want to contribute/do things online under a more public-facing profile, or link my personal ones to said profile.

Any which way I think about it involves crossing private/public streams I'd prefer to keep uncrossed, but I'm thinking I may be overlooking some compromises that could work, so what might those be?

What cross-platform software for testing/checking a hard drive's condition/health would you recommend? (lemm.ee)

Also open to recommendations for similar diagnostic software for other data storage media like SSDs, flash drives, and SD cards. Just wanted to keep the title short and specific. If you're making recommendations for tools for the other types of media, please mention that.

Thanks in advance!
