  • My thoughts on this is pretty much voiced by some of the others.

    For instance, there was a tool that could be used to repost things from a reddit user page. I’ve warned (and the dev have added the warning to the repo itself) that the tool can cause one to be banned. Now the only way I can see that working without inciting a ban is if the tool was triggered by a command, and only took one link at a time. Assuming the mods already gave permission. Something like the wiki bot I’ve seen over on reddit that posted the overview of a wiki link. However, I would rather be able to trigger it with a !wiki or something to that effect.

    The only exception I would take with this is with an automod that reminds users to include specific things in their posts…but I’m also meh about this. If people post without reading the sidebar, they’re probably not going to bother coming back and reading a comment. This issue would be better solved through other means (a reminder of the community rules in the New Post page, after choosing a community).

    The bots 100% need to have the bot tag on. No bots impersonating as people, please.

    That’s my 2¢ for now.








  • Until this gets implemented, have you tried using the mouse middle-click? At least on Firefox, it opens a link in a new tab.

    I vaguely recall there being a setting to force all links to open in a new tab as well…I’ll edit this comment when I have a chance to look into it.

    I’ve been doing a little bit of digging into lemmy-ui’s codebase. No promises, but I’m definitely curious about adding the feature now 🤔 I would like to just have links open in a new tab automatically, as well.

    Edit 1: I’m a derp. I realized this is going to require a change in the backend too, in order to save the setting to your account on the server. So the more immediate fix is to either force all links to open in new tabs…or save the option client-side. Which means you’d have to make this change on every single browser you browse beehaw on.

    Edit 2: According to luciole’s comment (https://beehaw.org/comment/666753), the feature was already added. Just gotta wait for the admins to upgrade the instance 😊


  • Natron is essentially the FOSS version of Nuke. And Nuke may seem overkill, but using it for simple tasks at first is a great way to familiarize yourself with the tool before using it for more complex ones.

    I used to use Nuke just to do some colour grading, or composite two animations together, back when I was in school for 3D animation. “Simple” stuff that Blender could’ve handled, but I liked how Nuke was designed specifically for composition and VFX. The focus helps, I find. Which made me happy that Natron is a thing (although I recall it having some stability issues with me).







  • Thanks for posting a better, more descriptive title than the original! And for including the YT link. TILVids doesn’t seem as accessible (lack of captions/subtitle) so having the option, although not idea, is better.

    I wish I could be all aboard with Flatpak, but I found out that there’s probably very few apps on there that actually works on a 32-bit OS (I’m trying to revive an old netbook). Probably part of that niche use case where Flatpak…falls flat[1]. So that netbook is stuck with the distro’s package maintainers.

    I do agree that there is a time and place for both the distro package managers and Flatpak/Snap and I wouldn’t want to see the former disappear completely. Even when Flatpak/Snap improves and have better coverage.


    1. I’ll see myself out 😶 ↩︎



  • I can’t help but love when subreddits do this in response to the threat of removing mods if they stay private. I remember there were some that were posting “sexy” pics of John Oliver. iPhone was limited to posting “sexy” pics of Tim Cook. Working with what they have in order to continue their protests. I like it😁

    It has malicious compliance written all over it 🙃
