Oh weird, I know where that option usually shows up for me (running Vanadium browser on GrapheneOS), but it doesn't seem to be there for Piefed?
EDIT: Nevermind, sorry! I think they combined the "add shortcut" and "install app" buttons in Vanadium, got it set up now.

In the context you've given, sure! I like it but I have trouble believing people when they say it.

Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don't think that's accurate at all.
However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here... It's way, way more complicated than just "calories in/calories out". Even the extent to which it's unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.

Congrats!!! It's looking great so far, love the low bandwidth aspect.
My Lemmy instance seems to have been abandoned, and it's been slowly losing functionality over the last few months. So, I've been begrudgingly trying to decide on a new one for when this one fails entirely... Piefed seems like it'd be a great choice, except I'll definitely need to wait until it either works with a Lemmy app, has its own app, or at least has a PWA. Anyway, great work!! Lovely to see multiple interoperable platforms shaping up.

Makes sense to me, nothing to add! I hope the fediverse gets better for marginalized people...
Unfortunately Lemmy being a reddit-like platform, there's likely gonna be a bunch of reddit-like people in these comments saying reddit-like things that go against one or all of these guidelines.

One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you're a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it's misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.
For the One Piece fans here, I'm getting the impression that it's like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we're watching that next for sure.

They don't seem to have much presence here as far as I've been able to tell. It's a very purple state so you'd think all the orgs would be here, but they're really not.

As I understand it, a lot of the leftists I associate with don't like them very much? Mostly of the anarchist variety. I don't actually know what the story is there though, it seems more personal than just ideological differences. This is really unfortunate because they're the only leftist group that's actually doing significant work where I live. None of the other groups have any presence here, so it's PSL or bust.

The reason you can't afford food is because precariousness is baked into the system, it's a necessary component to force people to participate in capitalism largely against their will, whether they realize it or not. So, in that sense, surviving in any other way than by selling your labor is at least a little revolutionary, isn't it?

There's a Matrix chat for it, but it's just as quiet as here unfortunately: #ibis:matrix.org
Oooh maybe that community that's learning Rust and ActivityPub at the same time should take it on as a project? !learningrustandlemmy@lemmy.ml

I'm also pretty excited about Ibis, but I think the main dev said they wouldn't be able to devote any more time to it right? If I had the skills I'd take on the project myself, it's really neat!

The outlawing of supreme leaders.

I do! We have them where I live and this has happened to me too lol. I like to consider it a sign of trust that they're willing to get that close to me, even though it's more likely they're just kind of oblivious. Although, they do have the best eyesight of any centipede... so who knows!

I feel like my answer might break AskLemmy's rule 2 about "Overt Politics", but so do a lot of the other answers? Feel free to delete if so.
::: spoiler overtly political answer, also CW for violence. As far as the current American system goes... nothing. By and large, even laws that seem good are mostly only used in service of the elites, against the people. Consider this series of events:
- In 2015 a white supremacist in South Carolina commits a mass shooting, killing 9 people.
- In 2017, the Georgia state gov expands the state's domestic terrorism laws, directly in response to this shooting, because the previous version wouldn't have covered it.
- In 2022, this expanded law gets used... against people protesting police brutality, who hurt no one, despite the fact that the cops killed one of them.
Unfortunately, this general sequence is not uncommon at all. Neither is the inverse, where the bureaucrats/judges/etc decide "that doesn't count, actually" when it comes to an elite very clearly breaking an existing law, or else changing the law so it doesn't apply to them in retrospect. :::

Please be nice to house centipedes, they're friends. They won't hurt you.
EDIT: Sorry OP, I shouldn't have assumed any ill will, you seem cool!

Thanks! I hope your huckleberries and raspberries learn to get along, would definitely be nice to have both lol. I try not to think about the dead stuff too much, and just keep rebuilding, but it's hard.

The elderberries are finally starting to ripen and the beautyberries are starting to fruit. The box huckleberry seems to be very happy this year, I dunno why though. The maypops and creeping cucumbers have finally come out, late as they usually do, and are climbing everything. Unfortunately so are the invasive morning glories that I have to keep rescuing everything else from. The young pricklyash is finally starting to look more like a tree than a rose bush. The ostrich and maidenhair ferns are having their second terrible year in a row, not sure what's going on there. Mayapples are very nearly ripe. Finally, the neighbor and landlord have murdered an even greater chunk of the garden. Nearly a third dead to poison...

Hi c/FreeCAD, totally newbie here! I'm having a ton of fun learning FreeCAD, but I have a small question. I know the toponaming problem is going away soon, and maybe that makes this kind of irrelevant, but I'd still like to know. Sometimes when I'm watching or reading guides on avoiding the toponaming problem, the person will say something along the lines of: "actually this technique is also more professional/proper/correct anyway, real engineers do it this way." Basically that the methods that avoid the problem are also just best practices in general. But they always say that as kind of an aside, and I wish they'd say more! What makes those methods better? Does anyone have any suggestions for articles or videos about this? For one example, there was one guide that suggested you should use a datum plane instead of referencing one of the object's surfaces. I understand the toponaming problem well enough to get why referencing a surface can cause it. However, the person in the guide used the same surface that *would* have been referenced, as the attachment point for the datum plane. Why does that not produce the same issue?
So about [half a year ago](https://beehaw.org/post/9587891) somebody posted about [Faircamp](https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/), a self-hosted open source alt for Bandcamp. It's really awesome, but I thought people might also want to know about a new one called [Mirlo](https://mirlo.space/). This one is also open source, so it could ostensibly be self-hosted if you wanted, but the main thing is that it's got this flagship hosted option. Very similar to the Bandcamp experience, from the musician side. No techy stuff required at all, so I think this one might be way more user friendly for non-tech savvy folks! AFAIK, neither Faircamp nor Mirlo have integrated ActivityPub support yet, but it seems entirely possible. Both do currently support subscription via RSS. Honestly I kinda feel like both platforms should collaborate, if they aren't already! Maybe they could even get hooked up with [RadioFreeFedi](https://radiofreefedi.net/) and do like featured artists and stuff. - Faircamp [repo](https://codeberg.org/simonrepp/faircamp). - Mirlo [Repo](https://github.com/funmusicplace/mirlo).
EDIT: it's back up!!! ❤ Maybe they're doing maintenance or something, I hope. I should have thought ahead and followed whoever maintains it on another platform, so I could find out what's going on in situations like this. Oops lol
I wish I'd taken a picture... I saw a ditto just chillin' totally undisguised, so I caught it. You know how with a disguised ditto, it does the whole *"Oh, what's this? It was actually a ditto!"* thing? Well after I caught this undisguised ditto, it did that and turned into a Zorua instead! I tried briefly googling this phenomenon and found a single mention of somebody seeing an untransformed ditto in the wild, but they didn't catch it, and nobody in the comments had an explanation. What in the world just happened?
This time of year, there's a zillion of these loudly and clumsily zooming around right outside my backdoor. They're very curious about everything that moves; they'll just like *stare you down*, hovering a foot in front of your face. Too cute!! They are also kinda eating the landlords mudroom... but so slowly that I'm pretty sure it hardly matters? You just can't be mad at these little fuzzballs! Worth it for the pollination anyway.
I got these as bare-root saplings a couple years old, and planted them last year. One actually bloomed and produced some berries the same year I planted it! These things sure are prolific. This year, they're all already blooming. I tried a couple things with the handful of berries from last year, i.e. just eating them raw, making juice, jam, etc. Raw was (somewhat predictably) not very good, but the juice and jelly were great. Also, while I don't at all mind supplementing the diets of local fauna, it was nice that the birds actually left us some! Unlike [my elderberries](https://pxlmo.com/p/MxRemy/597614294102479223), which they picked clean so fast we didn't get a single one lol.
This system is really cool, but it seems like not that many people are playing it. I think the name "suited" is probably not helping the matter... While clever, it makes it kinda hard to google. It's somewhat of a "rules-lite" type, with all the pros and cons that come with that. One of those cons being that most things are sort of up to the GM's judgement, and I am very new to GMing. With a lot of other similarly rules-lite systems, there's a community offering their experiences and things they found helpful. Suited doesn't seem to have much of that, but maybe some people here have played it and would like to share?
Trying to get the hang of celtic tatting, just working freehand for now. Real celtic tatting patterns are surprisingly uncommon! There are a lot of cool faux ones, but those won't teach me to use these shuttles. It doesn't look very good at all, trying to keep in mind it's just for practice.
This was a perfect project for getting the very basics of tatting down. Every time I made a mistake I just kept plowing ahead, rather than getting frustrated trying to fix it. Now that the motions feel more natural, it'll be easier to advance, maybe? The pattern is from [Urban Knot Design](https://urbanknotdesign.wordpress.com/free-tatting-patterns/one-shuttle-doily/). Even though it's chock full of mistakes, I still wet blocked it and will find some use for it somewhere.
Probably a really obvious question, sorry. I've been using RFF's recommended app (RadioDroid2), but that's *all* I use that for, and generally I'd rather just use one app for music than two.
I keep learning the bare minimum of tatting and then getting frustrated and giving up... This time I'm gonna stick with it! Please forgive all the horrendous mistakes lol. Are Lisbeth and DMC the only people left making cordonnet? I'd really like to try more appropriate thread but it seems to barely exist!
File [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6312891). This is almost definitely not the best one that anyone's designed, but at least it's a little unique! The holder parts bend apart to snap brushes in and out, and there's a little shelf above to put your toothpaste on. The shelf has print-in-place hinges so you can print the whole thing flat with no support and it all works with no assembly.
We put this together for my public library's makerspace. I have a bunch of issues with the design, but it does work so what can I say really. Specifically it's [this one](https://learn.adafruit.com/crickit-lab-shaker/overview). Patrons can use it for whatever they want, i.e. melting dissolvable supports faster, culturing bacteria, etc.
Sorry this isn't *actually* foraging per se, but the only kind of people who'd grow these are probably foragers anyway. I've been growing them for a couple years, but this is the first year I had enough to bother trying to eat them! From two plants we got about 1/2 a cup. So my question is, does anyone have any tips for actually eating these things?? We tried soaking them for 24 hours and boiling them for 2 hours, and they were still inedibly bitter! I'm thinking maybe brining them, an alkaline soak, splitting them all in half, and/or swapping out the cooking water a few times. At least one of those ought to work hopefully. It'll have to wait till next year though, we wasted these ones lol.
It went down maybe about a month ago or so, and I haven't heard anything about what might've happened to it. I'm bummed because that's been my main way of listening to music for a while now.
Specifically [this font](https://somepx.itch.io/humble-fonts-fantasy), although I've tried a few. Specifically in HashLink. Anyone have any tips or best practices when it comes to fonts and FlxText in general? The default font looks great, but I'm finding that just about every other font I try looks kind of terrible. Like sort of grainy, I guess? The default one looks very crisp in comparison. Also, any non-default font that I put in a FlxButton seems to be vertically way off-center, raised up too high.
