I'm not sure where to look for information about general Lemmy federation updates, but I'm wondering if the "Sort by Active" issues have been improved. As of a month ago, people said that it was best to use "Top Twelve Hours" because of some bug with "Active". Does anyone know if the problem has been improved?

Don't you have to use a lawyer licensed in Georgia? Maybe he got thrown in jail for being an idiot.

Don't you need a lawyer who is licensed in the state? Why would you want to fly in a lawyer from out of state, even if you could afford it?

Cindy Crawford looks looks incredibly manly. That's the weirdest one for me.

I don't think he will be "in prison" in any sense during the booking, so it doesn't sound too important about how close they are.

 

I subscribe to [email protected] and there is a recent post about Python and Excel. I can access the article but I can't see any comments while using my lemm.ee account. I switched to my lemdro.id account and I can see the comments. I'm curious why there is a disconnect. Is it because the posting came from someone on kbin? This is the link to the posting that I grabbed while logged into lemm.ee:

Is it clear how close they have to be to an ex-President at all times? Is the law written that they need to be in visual contact at all times? I have no idea.

 

I searched for information and Google pointed me to a Lemmy posting at: https://lemmy.world/post/1697414

My main account is this one on lemm.ee and I would like to comment in that post from this account, but I can't figure out how to view that specific post from this account. Is there some trick with putting a "!" in front of that path?

I read somewhere that the order of "locking him up" could be appealed extensively and would be an effective delay tactic for him. I think that is why the DC judge wants to speed things up in response to this behavior.

 

I'm using Firefox more as my first choice, but I can't get away from Chrome completely because of work. I still consider my Chrome bookmarks the "master" and occasionally sync them to Firefox. I would like to be able to bookmark something while in Firefox and then have it available from my other devices using either browser. Is there a way to have my bookmarks stored in a common location, like Google Drive, and accessed from either browser? I tried Floccus with Google Drive as the location but I can't get it to work.

Every gun owner that legally uses weed in a weed-legal state commits the same felony by lying on that same form, when purchasing a firearm. It's pretty common to not prosecute this felony.

Doesn't this quote from the article make it seem like Trump was making his own decision:

" ... claimed that Trump himself read a series of academic law review articles about the Electoral Count Act to brush up on the relevant law."

 

This question isn't specific to lemm.ee, but any Lemmy instance with the standard web interface. Is there a way to make the postings on the home page more compact? For example, the fairly large image thumbnail takes up vertical space and makes for more scrolling to read the various postings. Not a big deal, but I like my experience to be more text-based and concise.

Edit: I just found the "themes" in the settings and found more compact settings. Nevermind.

This page is a nice way to see headlines for various topics.

https://brutalist.report/?limit=15

You can make an account and choose the sources you want and how many titles to show. That link will show 15 titles from each source. The titles refresh often, so it stays fresh.

Edit: Actually, I just compared the page before and after I logged in and I'm not sure if you can customize the sources. I'm not sure what the account actually does. If you want to specify your sources, I like using this online RSS reader: https://theoldreader.com/

I've been using since Google got rid of their reader. This one is sort of a copy. The site holds the RSS feeds that you enter, and there is an Android app that will let you sign in an view from mobile. I think the app is called gReader.

Agreed. Tit for tat doesn't begin to describe the "Tat" that Russia has been flinging into Ukraine.

Except when you get a soft drink too close. Then you have buttons that are sticky forever.

I was curious about this last week and found an article that provides some other examples of this type of usage:

"The translation’s grammatical archaism made it even more powerful, resonating with lines in Tennyson (“I am become a name, for always roaming with a hungry heart”), Shakespeare (“I am come to know your pleasure”), and the Bible (“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness”)."

https://www.openculture.com/2023/07/j-robert-oppenheimer-recites-the-line-now-i-am-become-death-the-destroyer-of-worlds.html

The article also provides some commentary from a scholar about how to translate the original Sanskrit that Oppenheimer is referencing.

Edit: This article is referenced in the above article, and provides some interesting insight into why Oppenheimer was thinking of this quote. His situation was very similar to the situation of Arjuna, who speaks the original phrase in the ancient story. It really gives some additional insight into how many different mental levels Oppenheimer must have been able to conceptualize.

This isn't specific to lemm.ee, but I found a community called https://squabbles.io/s/technology

But I can't see any place on lemm.ee that lets me subscribe to it from my lemm.ee account. I searched for it under Communities, but it doesn't show up as an option.
