There are dozens of us!

I would say my experience on midwest.social aligns with Lemmy's population as a whole - generally left of (US) center, with a few further left folks. Most of the content is either midwest-specific news or LOTR memes, probably makes sense that the only content that gets widely upvoted by Lemmy at large is the left-leaning memes.

I haven't seen anything nearly as extreme as the posts/comments from hexbear/grad/ml, but I wouldn't be surprised if users from those instances have accounts on multiple instances to push propaganda.

I've recently started using this (recompiled with better icons), it seems to work pretty well.

I am not familiar with the feature you're using, but an "expression" is just some code that evaluates to a value; in other words, it's the right side of the equals sign.

As a Wisconsinite, I've always been confused why it's considered "midwest". Wisconsin is in the eastern half of the US, and at the very top. Should be called the "midnorth"

Flint Flossy has so many smangers. My faves are:
Did I mention I like to dance?
Taste you like yogurt
Fried or fertilized

I probably did a poor job of summarizing, as I'm not a lawyer; here's the key quote from the article:

That doesn’t mean that it will be easy for the Special Counsel to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump had the requisite mental state to violate the law. It means that his actions plausibly violate the law.

My point was that contrary to the previous commenter's implication that anyone telling you to watch out for lies is just going to feed you their own propaganda, this article is fairly objective.

I think in this case it's a pretty fair post - tl;dr: the blogger doesn't offer a view on whether or not Trump broke the law, only that his actions could plausibly be illegal based on the sections of the constitution used to prosecute him, and that it's not an obvious win for the prosecutors as it depends on the state of mind that led to the actions.

Replaced one teacher's desktop background with a screenshot of the desktop, then hid all the icons and minimized the taskbar.

Got admin access on one of the lab computers to install something needed for a class, and swapped out a bunch of the default Windows sound effects (login etc) with random other sound clips.

Torrented Flatout 2 onto one of the library computers and found out years later a bunch of kids were still playing it during lunch/recess

Kbin supports federating with both Lemmy (magazines) and Mastodon (microblogs), so just moving your account to Kbin and using their front end would be an option. I'm not sure if Lemmy plans to support pulling in Mastodon content long term

This is pretty cool. I recently implemented an AI searching behavior by choosing a random location to search within a circle centered on the player's past seen location, with radius of playerSpeed * timeSinceLastSeen. This seems a bit smarter, if more predictable
