The article shows that that’s not what’s going on:

YouTube, which is owned by Google, confirmed to The Intercept that it deleted the groups’ accounts as a direct result of State Department sanctions against the group after a review. The Trump administration leveled the sanctions against the organizations in September over their work with the International Criminal Court in cases charging Israeli officials of war crimes.

“Google is committed to compliance with applicable sanctions and trade compliance laws,” YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle said in a statement.

Did you read the article or just the headline?

They die for a variety of reasons, including disease, pollution, heat waves, etc. Not being half starved of essential nutrients means that they’re more resilient.

From the article:

[Unaffiliated expert] said: “[…] bees face many stressors. Good nutrition is one way to improve their resilience to these threats, and in landscapes with dwindling natural forage for bees, a more complete diet supplement could be a game changer. This breakthrough discovery of key phytonutrients that, when included in feed supplements, allow sustained honey bee brood rearing has immense potential to improve outcomes for colony survival, and in turn the beekeeping businesses we rely on for our food production.”

Your second sentence is your own thoughts, not part of the tldr summary, right? I think you should make that separation clear (in Wikipedia terms, I’m flagging this as “original research”).

You’d recommend Heroic launcher over Lutris? Epic didn’t install via Lutris for me, but I haven’t got around to looking into it.

Can you also fly them at 90°? I’m thinking about flags like Japan 🇯🇵 where is the same or the UK 🇬🇧 where most couldn’t tell.

Recently while troubleshooting I’ve found a lot of deleted comments with dozens of people saying thanks, often for years afterwards. Reddit annoyed their most valuable posters and we’re all paying for it.

Twenty years ago, I had an epiphany: Linux was ready for the desktop.

Please read articles before posting; this is literally the first sentence. The article is about the author’s 20 years of Linux desktop usage.

We know this as the Caravan Game.

Yeah, I hate those little dots and I inevitably jump through the hoops until I’ve clicked enough things to make them go away.

I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t be able to get a custom number plate of that star’s name.

metux is Enrico Weigelt, the dev behind Xlibre, the new fork of X11. He’s quite controversial, partly due to claiming to want to keep politics out of development by filling his posts with alt-right dog whistles, as well as being an antivaxer and having some… er… revisionist views of history.

Going into more detail would be helpful: Do you get an error? Do some settings restore or change? How old is your backup (i.e. from what version of Voyager)? Android or iPhone (before and after)? Are you selecting a file from your device, or trying to use from cloud storage (Google Drive, Nextcloud, etc)?

Are you saying you think it’s ridiculous to end support “already”?

I think it’s likely that anyone still using 486s isn’t updating software anyway, so it’s unlikely to matter aside from niches like retro devices. Luckily, open source means that if there’s a genuine desire there’ll probably be a fork to provide it.

Then the UK’s equally dumb: it was 10:04 pm BST (GMT+1) cos daylight savings is a thing in most of Europe too. At least it’s synchronised across Europe^[1] so you just need to remember that most^[2] of North America changes a few weeks earlier.

Also, the UK says GMT/BST which is nice and clear - calling both EST and EDT “Eastern Time” makes even more of a mess!

And yes, I’ve just rediscovered you can use footnotes, why do you ask?

The duplicate content thing is kinda impossible to solve perfectly. Some people will tell you it’s a feature, and it can be interesting to see the different instances’ comment sections (especially after moderation), but yeah it can be annoying to have your feed dominated by a few stories.

The default web front-end will merge crossposts, but won’t if they’re multiple posts to the same URL. I think some of the apps do have that deduplication as a feature, but I couldn’t tell you which.

I remember the same problem from my Reddit days, but there wasn’t generally so many similar, overlapping communities.

From the Lemmy docs:

• Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
• Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published

My default is set to

• Scaled: Like hot, but gives a boost to less active communities

This is the newest sorting option, I think, and it helps me not miss posts from the smaller comms - particularly ones where people are asking a question and there’s been no engagement. Ideally I’d like to have Mastodon-style lists so I could have “quiet comms” or something and check them all every so often.

I will switch to new or top 6h/24h if I’ve been on recently and just want to see what’s fresh. Top all time or 1y if I’m looking at new-to-me comms so I can see what type of thing to expect from it.
