I said bad actors, not amazing-and-underappreciated-in-their-time actors

I’ll plug my home instance, discuss.online. We’re generally low-key and don’t heavily moderate stuff, but will also respond to bad actors.

The era of pedantry is finally over:

Direct support for REPL-specific commands like help, exit, and quit, without the need to call them as functions.

You could check with @MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works, who created and runs https://bellobear.com/ (and posts them on Lemmy to !bellobearofficial@lemmy.world)

To be fair, Python is just glue for code written in lower level languages when it comes to AI

I’m guessing you’re also @ask_lemmy@lemmy.world. You should really not create a new account every time you post. It’s one thing to move to a new identity every few months or something for privacy reasons, but for every post is a bit much.

To paraphrase the guidelines from another site:

Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don’t create accounts routinely. Lemmy is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.

IMO creating a new account every time you post something is bad form and pollutes the fediverse

For good faith questions, I’ve got a few that I’ve been meaning to post to !discuss@discuss.online, we appreciate good discussion. The community’s been a little quiet but I’m going to put some work into it. I do specify “good faith” just because it doesn’t need to become another “here’s my ‘unpopular’ opinion that is actually popular and i want validated” or “here’s why I hate <minority>”. If you’re going to post bad-faith questions, or want to skirt the lines of what’s appropriate, that will make my life harder as admin and that’s considered a bannable offense 🙂

There’s also !AskUSA@discuss.online for US-specific questions. We generally avoid politically-charged topics because there’s better places for those, but questions that aren’t just “Why does Trump suck?” might be a good fit.

Here’s a sample of a few recent popular !AskUSA@discuss.online posts if they pique anyone’s interest:

• Do you rent or own where you live? Is it what you want to be doing?
• Is it a thing in the US to eat other spreads than peanut butter such as (crunchy) chocolate spread on bread?
• Should HOAs be banned?

Yep, it runs on Lemmy also and federates just as you’d expect

We welcome new users! We’ve got a signup process to keep out spam, but it’s really basic. You just have to answer 3 questions and not have it be obviously AI slop. We’re generally pretty quick about approving new users, and if we’re not for some reason you can ping me, @jgrim@discuss.online or @lazyguru@discuss.online.

We’ve got a welcome thread to point you in the right direction if you’re new to the discuss.online and/or the Fediverse: https://discuss.online/post/16318079. If chat is your thing, we’ve also got a chatroom at https://matrix.to/#/#online.discuss:discuss.online

Lastly I’ll plug the !AskUSA@discuss.online community that I help mod as well. I just posted the weekly How was your week in the US? thread and asked how many geese everyone thinks they could take on.

It was a fan theory that was actually confirmed IIRC, but the Seanchan drawl is equivalent to a Texan accent.

Close enough, you’re cool. Here’s the actual list though (wiki link):

• Freedom 0: The freedom to use the program for any purpose.
• Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish.
• Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute and make copies so you can help your neighbor.
• Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits.

It depends on where you sleep. Basement vs upstairs can make a huge difference at the same thermostat setting. I keep mine set to be between 19°C and 25°C and don’t have trouble sleeping.

Speaking of which, anyone else use Home Assistant / Z-Wave?

My only question is “What are the four essential freedoms of free software?”. If they can list them I know they’re alright

We’ve got a PBF community here on Lemmy:

!pbf@discuss.online

I’ve been posting new strips as they’re posted, and old strips daily at !smbc@midwest.social

I’ve been posting the strips over at !oglaf@midwest.social if anyone’s interested in seeing them via Lemmy
