Thanks for the heads-up on this! Didn't realize that was in the works

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

Interesting, thanks! It sounds like you could hide the ability to vote either way then on an instance's frontend, but as you say, it wouldn't really do much to address voting activity from either other frontends or instances.

Yeah, that's along the lines of what I'm asking about, albeit instead of a subscription check more like, I think, however the instances disabling/removing downvoting have done so, but adjusting the scope strictly to the Local or All views.

Another approach to addressing outsider/passive voting behaviors.

 

Given that instances can disable downvoting altogether, it led me to wondering...

Have you been following your heart? If not the most, the moist may at least be there.

 

And what other groups give ya similar vibes to either band?

Appreciate the example! It's when handling a DHCP range and the related CIDR notation that I tend to get especially muddled in this area. It certainly doesn't help that each router's interface and terminology tends to vary just enough to add uncertainty.

Regardless, the comments here and more focus on this have helped clear some of this up for me.

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for some detail! What you describe reassures me in my decision not to get further into it, particularly as a professor path seemed one of few traditional options with what I studied.

Are doctorate/grad school programs distinctly competitive? My impression was that they were more challenging but similar in nature to undergrad insofar as loads of coursework to stay on top of to complete courses and ensure you got some of the most expensive, "You endured it!" paperwork in the world.

...How are they able to continue providing these but not maintain the Bridge Access Program for the uninsured? 🤨

 

Asking for clarification as what I've read suggests yes, but is also sometimes coupled with advice to (still?) set a static IP outside of the DHCP address range as well.

Thanks in advance!

Is there an AcademicDictionary in the vein of Urban Dictionary for all the jargon and filler patterns?

 

For admins and moderators, keeping the comment counts including bot comments visible (especially in a moderators' own communities) may be valuable, but not sure if it's all that valuable for ordinary users.

Would it be possible to make it so bot comments don't add to the counts for regular users, or at least for those that have disabled the display of bot posts/comments? As-is seeing an indication of a comment for a post only for it to turn out to be a bot is slightly disappointing at best, and mildly confusing at worst when their display has been disabled.

 

Looking at you various USB cables with subtly different capabilities.

 

as an aside, here's a fun thread from awhile ago by someone else: What are some underrated careers/jobs?

p.s. leaving this open-ended per community theme, we can get into specifics in comments!

 

The safest option is obvious, don't try to access its contents, but if you absolutely had to, what steps would you take to minimize/contain any potential harm to your device/network?

 

bonus question:what does it mean to be too online anymore?
