I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

Note: I’m moderating a handful of communities in more of a caretaker role. If you want to take one on, send me a message and I’ll share more info :)
Personally, when I’m reading an article, I skim past the parts that explain climate change, unless it has some new bit of information (ex. updates to historical trends). It’s not because I doubt climate change, but because I’m pretty familiar with the core points already.
I think it is helpful to talk about it in longer articles where you have room to dive into the topic, and put the current topic into a relevant wider context. However, I don’t think we should require it for the sake of mentioning it. It’s not effective at changing minds when its done like that.
I agree that the last article should have included the wider context. I would also be concerned if there is a growing pattern of not mentioning it when it needs to be. On this last point, while it’s more difficult, I would prefer if they analyzed sentiment and phrasing rather than counting mentions.
Some third party apps and alternative UIs support this, but Lemmy will get this in the upcoming v1 release
Yes, for now you would reach out to individual mods over DMs.
I think the community you are looking for might be !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world, or similar casual / silly communities. That community isn’t really for the kinds of posts you’ve made
I’m not a mod there, but based on your description it sounds like that post would go against their rule 5:
- Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

To those downvoting, there are other sources confirming that a drone did hit the beach, whether intentional / accidental / intercepted; by a state or individual

What’s idiotic is that OpenAI broke the law, got caught, and was successful enough in turning it into a marketing stunt (aimed at investors) that other companies want to do it too.
With this precedent, all you need to do in order to get away with hacking is to change your user agent to something an AI agent uses. /s
Cool, looking forward to seeing what !ausmusic@quokk.au puts out for next year’s lemmyvision
We also have a sister community for !fns here: !indigenous@lemmy.ca


I haven’t tried any myself yet, but I’ve heard that watches have a hard time reading the data compared to bands that go around your arm or chest, or even the rings. I don’t think I’d enjoy wearing a ring while sleeping though


This seems simple enough
According to The Guardian, which covered the story earlier this week following the court’s first hearing on Monday, Atlanta resident Samuel Tunick is fighting the charges. Tunick’s attorneys said that it was unlawful for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to seize his phone as he arrived back in the U.S. last year and that any evidence — including the alleged wiping of his phone — should be thrown out.
Also for context, the resident was targeted for connection to protests
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/23/cop-city-protester-phone
The US Department of Justice is attempting to prosecute an Atlanta resident in connection with the movement against the police training center known as Cop City because he had GrapheneOS on his phone, an open-source operating system that enables users to enter a passcode and wipe a phone clean.
The defendant, Sam Tunick, was stopped for interrogation at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport on 24 January last year, after vacationing in the Dominican Republic. Unbeknown to him, federal authorities had put him on a terrorism watchlist because of his alleged association with the movement against Cop City.
Opposition to the $109m police training center, which opened last spring, came from a wide range of local and national organizations and protesters, centered on concerns around police militarization and clearing forests in an era of climate crisis. Atlanta police said the center was needed for “world-class” training and to attract new officers.
Several state attempts to prosecute Cop City protesters have foundered in the last several years, while this is the second recent federal effort, after the justice department announced another indictment last month.
I wish these had a description or a link to who is managing it. I don’t want to be getting sketchy apps without knowing it

I have heard that a dedicated sleep tracking device will work better than the watches, but I don’t have any direct experience there.
Maybe you can find one that can export the data over a USB cable

Oh sweet, thank you :)

This page might help, it explains what alternative UIs are and which ones are available. Some of them can also be used in the mobile web browser.

(It says tesseract is available on lemmy.ca, but that is out of date now)
This issue with Tesseract affects anyone that was using it. So it is possible that someone did not see a comment or post you made, without knowing why they could not see it. Past that, it likely hasn’t affected you since you said you don’t use it :)

It’s nice, and I know the https://lemdro.id/ instance has it as the default
However since it is a third party frontend, there is a chance that a future Lemmy update will come out without having full Photon support right away. So it’s usually safer to keep them separate, and encourage people to try out the frontends to see what they like

Ah gotcha. If it helps anyone, the relevant pages for theming on photon:
For Blorp: https://blorp.lemmy.ca/settings (see appearance)
Of the two, Photon has a bit more customization on the theme colors

Well that’s a funny direct example
We did also adjust the default filters for our Canadian instances, to account for words that are harmless in French but harmful in English. For example: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-french/late


















This is something a lot of people would like, but right now that feature is marked “not planned” by the developers since it would be difficult to implement. That might change if they get more funding / get through more of the backlog / someone else works on it.
You can see those feature requests and discussions on their GitHub page: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5110
You can totally send off multiple messages to moderators and see who responds first. I will say though that if it’s not urgent, the mod may just be too busy to sit down at a computer and get through those messages.
Personally I look through the profile and see which mods have made a post or comment recently, and message based on that.
