I started at 41, and I turn 50 next year. You’ve got this :)

I’ll generally remove posts without questions if someone reports them, but if they aren’t bothering anyone enough to report it and I don’t notice that they’re in this community, then IMO, they’re not doing much harm.

But if and when the community gets bigger, signal to noise ratio becomes a lot more important when it’s harder to keep up with everything. But we can cross that bridge if and when we get to it IMO

Government drones aren’t real!

This is a screenshot of the activity in this community. It looks ok to me…

My focus is human rights. I’m not sure what yours is, but it’s not that…

Don’t dilute our efforts and make us lose our focus (which is what they want).

One doesn’t lose focus on human rights by focusing on human rights…

The way I see it is the rules exist to improve the experience of the community. They set guidelines to help us achieve that. The rules aren’t the final source of truth though, the quality of the community is.

So, if you see something that breaks the rules and is pulling the community down in doing so, use the report function, and highlight it.

If it’s breaking a rule, but not harming the community, then just let it fly.

I have no interest in enforcing rules for the sake of rules. I see them more as guidelines for fostering a better community, and that’s the lens through which I moderate.

Yay! 4.8 supports my camera! I can finally stop running darktable nightlies

Not many. I don’t like the fructosey sweet flavour of most fruit. So I love tomatoes, but not much else…

Maybe this thread will help me :)

I used Dreaming Spanish, which uses natural comprehension and teaches entirely in Spanish, with no translation. It’s not as fast as some alternatives, but it matches my learning style, and has given me a neutral accent when I speak

I assume so! If a bird expert can identify the bird from a given call, chances are, so can the bird pi (though not quite as accurately)

But they move in larger packs, and are more aggressive. No cat is safe from a flock of miners screeching at them!

For what it’s worth, I’ve got a second birdpi set up at my partners house, and there are kookaburras there! And lots of noisy miners too! Those birds really live up to their name, they are really noisy!

Done!

Can confirm

Image description: A screenshot from a birdpi, a device that identifies birds by their song, and catalogues their activity vs the time of day. The image shows a small amount of activity from a Barn Owl at 10pm and 1am. It also shows a very large volume of activity at 7am from crows, and other Australian birds

Because lemmy.blahaj.zone is the instance where the community is hosted, and it ensures that instance defederation and other federation quirks don’t stop the mod from seeing all of the reports.

There is no need for blahaj.zone to become the main account, just that they have one here to ensure they get a full view when they’re moderating

Yep, I get that. And the combat balancing in Owlcat games is something you either like or hate, so I wouldn’t recommend the game itself for everyone. But whatever you think about the rule system or combat design, the characters are really well done!

Wrath of the Righteous. Hands down, the most interesting party member NPCs I’ve encountered in a CRPG.

Unique takes on stereotypes, and you find yourself invested in even the unlikable characters.

Digikam. It supports grouping (or stacking as it’s called in Lightroom) by filename, so you can auto group RAW and JPG. It has hot keys for flagging rejects/approvals during initial inspections and review, so you can just fly through them.

Photoprism is not suitable as part of a post editing workflow. It’s a gallery for displaying and searching your photos after they’ve been sorted and edited.
