Is this related to the new laws in Europe? I remember seeing something about Facebook introducing a paid tier

This is good feedback, and I agree. I try my best to limit moderation to content that needs removing, and simply vote on the rest.

One thing I find is that mods are more likely to remove/nuke a thread when they’re stretched thin or there is a wave of rule breaking content. Bringing on more active mods can help so that each mod can spend more time scrutinizing each post.

The other great thing about the Fediverse is that you can make your own version of a community if you disagree with how one is being run. I’ve joined a few communities with different styles of moderation

I think it’s because it’s just memes and also quite hard moderation and downvotes

Could this be specific to the American election?

I feel like I’ve seen more items in the moderation queue recently. I can’t say I’ve had to act on more items though

Looks cool :)

See if you can find guides for “Wi-Fi card replacement” for the model that you are looking into. For guides, try https://www.ifixit.com/

If it is a simple matter of unplugging a card (like the image above), it should be easy enough to undo if something goes wrong. Then instead of replacing the Wi-Fi card, just leave it out.

Finding the setting:

• tap profile to open the sidebar and use the gear there (the one on the homescreen is only for notification settings)
• data privacy
• data for generative improvement

Spondulix is 19th-century slang for money or cash, more specifically a reasonable amount of spending money. Spondulicks, spondoolicks, spondulacks, spondulics, and spondoolics are alternative spellings, and spondoolies is a modern variant.

TIL

Could be both, I’ve gotten emails where a word is spelled correctly some time, and then spolled wrong other times

Battery replacement is possible but not the easiest (you may need new feet)

Replaceable is good. I had the same recommendation for you, but I also know that some people complain about it dying on them because of a loose connector inside.

Would you be able to do with a simpler wireless mouse that uses AA batteries? There are a lot of those, you could use rechargeable eneloop/Ikea batteries in them

Interesting

MEMS oscillators incorporate MEMS resonators, which are microelectromechanical structures that define stable frequencies. MEMS clock generators are MEMS timing devices with multiple outputs for systems that need more than a single reference frequency. MEMS oscillators are a valid alternative to older, more established quartz crystal oscillators, offering better resilience against vibration and mechanical shock, and reliability with respect to temperature variation.

So the helium causes physical interference by leaking into the housing?

I remember reading an update which said that the company went back on most (or all?) the negative changes and it’s ok to use again.

I didn’t confirm it myself, but that’s part of why the alternatives aren’t seeing as much development now

Here it is

A key to making the device effective was the discovery that flies are three times more attracted to the color blue than to yellow and that yellow actually seemed to repel flies.

Well TIL, maybe it’s the color?

My original guess was that red watermelons are more common and so flies have evolved to crave it. You could also try with other fruits and report back 😄

Futurama - Thompson’s teeth, the only teeth strong enough to eat other teeth

The new version also hasn’t been around for that long, so it might face issues that will be worked out over time. We already had a post on a Lemmy android community about moisture issues

Can anyone explain this one?

I think what we need is an automated solution which flags groups of accounts for suspect vote manipulation.

We appreciate the work you put into this, and I imagine it took some time to put together. That will only get harder to do if someone / some entity puts money into it.

It does help set a good precedent. When companies try to do the same thing, further hurting smaller artists, we can point to this case

1. The platform needs an incentive to get rid of bots.

Bots on Reddit pump out an advertiser friendly firehose of “content” that they can pretend is real to their investors, while keeping people scrolling longer. On Fediverse platforms there isn’t a need for profit or growth. Low quality spam just becomes added server load we need to pay for.

I’ve mentioned it before, but we ban bots very fast here. People report them fast and we remove them fast. Searching the same scam link on Reddit brought up accounts that have been posting the same garbage for months.

Twitter and Reddit benefit from bot activity, and don’t have an incentive to stop it.

2. We need tools to detect the bots so we can remove them.

Public vote counts should help a lot towards catching manipulation on the fediverse. Any action that can affect visibility (upvotes and comments) can be pulled by researchers through federation to study/catch inorganic behavior.

Since the platforms are open source, instances could even set up tools that look for patterns locally, before it gets out.

It’ll be an arm’s race, but it wouldn’t be impossible.
