PSA: Ten Forward is the new Risa https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward

Huh, that’s odd. Ok, this one is the one that spun off of Risa: https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward. I’m not sure I have seen the other one, can you link here?
Mod was enforcing unwritten rules and deleting posts mentioning it, so the regulars moved to Ten Forward: https://lemmy.world/c/tenforward. Pardon the mess, we’re at the tail end (I think) of a 24-hour spree on name puns. It’s not usually like this.
Okay, I lied, it’s always this weird.
The 10F Mastodon instance? Not for Lemmy users, as far as I know. Kbin users do have access to Mastodon content (it’s in the “microblog” section over here), but I’m not sure how to get to the Mastodon instance of Ten Forward specifically. Looks like that instance is private, that’s probably why.
While technically true, one of the two Ten Forwards you’re referring to is a Mastodon instance and is nothing like Lemmy.
There’s a mysterious new respiratory illness infecting dogs in the U.S. It’s contagious and is killing some of the infected dogs. I can’t find any updates, dunno if it’s still a thing or if it died out since November.
From what I’ve seen, I sincerely think you’ll like it at Beehaw. They’re an ok bunch of progressive folks who refuse to let it become a nazi bar. I can get behind that. Have fun!
I feel your pain, ugh. Setting up certain types of software can be a pain in the ass because there’s almost always dependencies that need to be set up first; in addition, it’s not always clear what you’re supposed to install or how to do it the right way. A lot of Linux-related documentation out there isn’t geared towards beginners and leaves out a lot of important explanatory and contextual information, which just makes it more frustrating. Unnecessarily, in my opinion.
However, I gotta mention that Ubuntu - though widely used - is sorta notorious for being user unfriendly and isn’t always the most appropriate choice for a beginner Linux user. If anyone reading this is thinking about trying Linux for the first time, I would consider Linux Mint. It’s a Linux distro that is actually based on Ubuntu (which is based on Debian), but it works “out of the box” better than most and should be a positive experience for most users. It’s pretty solid.
So would you say that vaccines are still needed for all, or just for people like me who are immunosuppressed?
Vaccines are needed for all, as in everyone who is eligible for inoculation. Yes, if I am vaccinated, my body will be much better equipped to successfully fight off the virus and keep me out of the hospital (and the morgue)…but in doing so, I also contribute to the overall herd immunity, which protects people who have pre-existing conditions, cannot be safely inoculated, or have immune system issues. If I don’t get vaccinated, I don’t just put myself at risk; if I get covid (which isn’t always obvious because it doesn’t always present physical symptoms, aka I could be a carrier), I also risk infecting everyone I come in contact with, which endangers people like you.
I’m sensing high levels of Big Douchebag Energy
Also, most everyone missed OP’s gripe lol. No worries, brah! “Don’t dead open inside,” I hear ya.
Same here, it’s fun and has the spirit of the “striving for a better future” optimism that we all know and love. Great writing. We are living in a real golden age of Trek right now, what a time to be alive.
This is my favorite shot, you can clearly see the rings around Uranus
That is a great movie, one of my favorite horror films from the last decade. IDK if you knew, but a sequel is in the works. They start filming next year!
Same here, tbh I haven’t thought about jquery in a while and kinda came in here to see if it’s dead or not. Yeah frameworks have largely eliminated the “need” for jquery libraries for most projects. It’s weird to think about, didn’t take too long to happen.
In case people don’t know, JK Rowling’s pen name is a reference to Robert Galbraith Heath, a psychiatrist who experimented with gay conversion therapy in the 60s and 70s using surgically implanted electrodes on gay men’s brains. He claims to have “cured” one of them. He did lots of other fucked up things too, and of course Rowling denies her pen name has anything to do with him. FWIW, she also claims she’s not a bigot, but her words and actions clearly indicate otherwise.
I agree, sosodev. I think it would be wise to at least be aware of modern A.I.'s current capabilities and inadequacies, because honestly, you gotta know what you’re dealing with.
If you ignore and avoid A.I. outright, every new iteration will come as a complete surprise, leaving you demoralized and feeling like shit. More importantly, there will be less time for you to adapt because you’ve been ignoring it when you could’ve been observing and planning. A.I. currently does not have that advantage, OP. You do.
