The Claremont Institute recently published a new study outlining diversity, equity and inclusion policy and programs at the University of Alabama and Auburn University. | Alabama News

 

The farm property includes Dye’s main house, a guest cabin, lodge, pavilion, gazebo, two barns and a nursery office.

 

"Nothing better signals the start of a college football game than the eagle flight soaring above a sold-out Jordan-Hare Stadium. Now that is Auburn Being Auburn."

Tiger Vi was the War Eagle when I was there. I remember she used to live in the aviary outside the stadium at the time, and could barely fly. Not long after graduating, I was back for another football game and saw that her on the field trying to fly. I felt so sad for her not being able to go 20 yards! The War Eagle is probably one of my favorite things about Auburn, if only because it gets under other folks' skin so easily!

Some person: What are you even? A tiger?
Me: Yep.
Them: An eagle?
Me: Nope.
Them. I don't get it.
Me: I'm also a plainsman, FWIW.
Them: GAH!

I smile...

 

“That’s just my way of trying to make sure Auburn stays diverse.” Seems like this is in response to the recent SCOTUS decision on affirmative action.

 

Carlee McCondichie is choosing not to return to Auburn softball for a fifth year after alleged mistreatment by head coach Mickey Dean.

Oh, I get that theory, though I'm not sure I completely agree. Either way, unless I completely misunderstand how ActivityPub works, their instance can effectively be isolated to its own little sandbox depending on how many other instances decide to share with them. Further, if you're on an instance that decides to share w/ Meta's, you can skip over to another one that doesn't. So Meta can be isolated by instance owners and/or users.

Let them! There's nothing saying other instances have to federate with them. Kind of the beauty of the whole thing, really.

I think helpful bots, like this one, are generally a good thing. However I also think there should be a way for a community, either an instance as a whole or a community/magazine, can register their dislike of particular bots and/or have a setting to block them. Right now, I really want to block the lemmit bot. I don't need or want my feed gummed up w/ Reddit reposts.

I'm surprised I don't see more of this. Especially given that they all use ActivityPub. I know kbin is different than Lemmy, but an "all-in-one" app would be great.

[–] doophy@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed. So far, I think it's my favorite of of the dedicated apps. wefwef.app is also pretty good.

Interestingly, I've been trying to push my HPC customers towards SLES and Ubuntu LTS. SLES has better extended support for minor releases (that doesn't cost an arm and a leg), and Ubuntu's LTS... for obvious reasons.

It still can be! ;-)

[–] doophy@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It's not. One of the remaining devs posted that they're working on getting a new Testflight invite going.

[–] doophy@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

You're probably right, but unfortunately my day job doesn't like me spending all day tracking new apps! I threw this together this morning in the hope that it might help a bit. If there's a better way, and there probably is, anyone is welcome to tackle it.

[–] doophy@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, updated!

Just did.... actually lasted longer than I expected! Someone was removing all the community links and replacing them w/ the code repo links. Restored and cleaned up. The access is now comment only to anyone w/ a link.

Google Sheet for tracking this as well.

 

Google Sheet traking Lemmy & Kbin mobile clients. Anyone w/ the link can edit.

 

Trying to see my sub from lemmy.world, https://lemmy.world/c/wareagle. Did kbin and lemmy.world stop federating content?
