Saturnalia

“The Green Leopard Plague” by Walter Jon William. Nebula award winning novella that blew my mind when I read it in Gardner Dozois’ The Year’s Best Science Fiction: Twenty First Annual Collection back in 2004.

Good.

Reminded me of this early Aaron Sorkin play about a writer and director filming the most expensive and pivotal shot of their debut film, which is ruined when three cows walk into frame.

Totally understand, and thank you. I’m frustrated with the folks attacking lemmit.online, not you for providing the service. Much appreciated.

Thanks. It’s https://lemmit.online/c/Boise. IMHO The tiny subreddits with very few posts that don’t cause front page Lemmy noise are the most important to retain, because Lemmy does not yet have the userbase to support its own niche communities.

I realize that lemmit.online is reviled for creating noise with high traffic subreddit reposts, but I want to supply another perspective. My city subreddit is one of the communities you’ve disabled already. It’s a small city, with few subscribers on Reddit. There is no Lemmy community for my city, and no one even posts to the Lemmy community which exists for my state. So, no, I’m not going to create a Lemmy community to talk to myself. The loss of the lemmit.online community for my city means that I’ll need to use Reddit, and if I’m going to be there anyway then I might as well just give up on Lemmy rather than have to use both.

I used a Samsung device with DeX and a lapdock as my sole PC for a year. It was…challenging. I expect that a first generation “desktop experience” on Android from Google would have issues, too.

I also have big concerns about Google’s invasive new ad platform which monitors your browser history to serve you ads, and how integrated it also seems to be to apps which use Chrome on Android.

All that said, I’d probably still be all-in for a Pixel that becomes a ChromeOS device when plugged into a monitor.

I enjoyed The Year’s Best Science Fiction anthologies edited by Gardner Dozois until his passing. I just discovered its spiritual successor, The Best Science Fiction of the Year edited by Neil Clarke, and am catching up now.

Check that you’re logged in? I found myself unexpectedly logged out everywhere after the last Lemmy update.

I saw a mention elsewhere for https://ground.news

Ah, ok. Now I see Thanks.

Thanks for this. Lack of wired “Ready For” is exactly the information I needed.

Does anyone know if the 2023 Razr+ has Motorola “Ready For” desktop mode? I’m not seeing it mentioned on their site or in reviews.

Inevitable, but still scary AF.

Done.

Unfortunately all subreddit mirror requests to that bot are auto-approved, and there is no subreddit subscriber limit. That means that very large subreddits with already-active Lemmy communities get mirrored. That causes unnecessary duplication and a lot of noise due to frequent posts to the subreddits.

That said, I actually subscribe to a few of that bot’s communities for tiny, niche subreddits (like with 5k Reddit subscribers) that I followed. I use it because it will take time for Lemmy to reach adoption capable of sustaining those very specialized communities. It’s useful for links (less so for discussions.)
