Someone I know recently switched from automatic bathroom lights to manual ones. Remembering to turn them on isn't an issue, but months later everyone still forgets to turn them off.

The Rust team is happy to announce a new version of Rust, 1.71.0. Rust is a programming language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

What's in 1.71.0 stable

  • C-unwind ABI
  • Debugger visualization attributes
  • raw-dylib linking
  • Upgrade to musl 1.2
  • Const-initialized thread locals

And .box has been registered as a generic TLD now, so you could run into external .box domains.

They're not going to have open signups. It's government agencies only. Not that there's technically anything stopping Germans from joining the PR departments of our government agencies…

So what you're saying is that Twitter successfully kept out a bad actor.

It's a shame that most of the users they have left are also in that category, but hey, they seem to be working on it.

I'm using kbin Magazine Style Toggle to disable the custom styling on certain magazines, but I had to modify line 36 to make it work:

36c36
<         let style = document.querySelector("head > style:nth-child(22)");
***
>         let style = document.querySelector("head > style:nth-of-type(1)");

These are all fine in the US, but in other countries not carrying proof of identity can get you into some trouble, as can refusing to talk to the police. Know your local laws.

I'm browsing /newest and seeing posts from lemmy.world. The time that OP says the magazine was created on this instance matches when I did my search. I really don't think the 0.18 thing is what OP is running into (lemmy.world is running 0.18.1-rc.7).

Yeah, that is a separate issue that I don't think is affecting lemmy.world right now because I am seeing content from there show up on the front page.

Oops, didn't mean to delete my comment. You get a 404 for communities that no one on your instance has interacted with yet. After you search for them using the general search (not the magazine search), e.g. https://kbin.social/search?q=personalfinance%40lemmy.world , they show up on your instance, e.g. https://kbin.social/m/personalfinance@lemmy.world .

Even though you can tell that it's not quite finished yet the experience is already great. Hats off.

In a sense. Ernest has control over kbin.social, meaning he could delete any content posted directly to kbin.social, delete accounts on kbin.social, and so on, if he wanted to. The other instance admins have that same power on their own instances. He doesn't have any control over content on other /kbin instances or on Lemmy instances that federate with kbin.social, and because /kbin itself is free software he can't fully control that either. Even if Ernest turns evil you would always be able to make a new account somewhere else, subscribe to the same non-kbin.social communities that you did before, and carry on where you left off.
