Ahhh that really sucks with all the coins down the drain. I still remember you could get Reddit gold by emailing their HQ with a postcard, sounds more cool than dishing out cash
That sucks. Now your company tasted their own medicine lol.
My friends have been enjoying the latest Indiana Jones movie, even for first time watchers.
My partner wants to start vlogging and asked me to research cameras. I’ve gone full frame for a long time and have a Fuji X-Pro as my “daily” so haven’t really bothered with entry level APSCs.
I’m sort of impressed with the options available on the market for those just starting out. May I say it’s probably the only type of product that is not subject to inflation. For example the Nikon Z30 is cheaper than the Canon 550D that I started out with 13 years ago, but the Z30 has so much more feature… I was just telling my partner how back in 2010 the only reliable way to film vlog is to carry a professional full frame body like 5D Mark 2, so close to 10000..
There’s also dedicated Vlog point and shoots like the Sony ZV1 and 1F, and Canon Powershot V10. But -1 for no interchangeable lens and small sensor.
I suppose video content creation is the next possible evolution for the camera world. Whilst phones can slap a ton of filter, max out their noise reduction on photos they can’t do that on videos. And that’s where the optically superior dedicated cameras come in.
Argh knocked over my bottle of fish sauce while cooking and it broke. My kitchen smells of fish sauce and my countertop and floor is over seasoned. Hope the Palo turns out ok though
it seems we've got our first user who started a community with the same name as their username: backlash76.
this is not a problem for lemmy because it uses the ! prefix for communities, and the @ prefix for users, so it never mixes them up.
however, it is a problem for mastodon (and iirc, kbin also). I think these use the webfinger protocol to lookup users and communities (while ignoring the prefixes).
I can't remember where I read it, but it seems when there is a "name clash" between user and community, mastodon prefers one, while kbin prefers the other. (it would be nice if mastodon and kbin users could try searching for @backlash76@monyet.cc and see if what I read is true.)
in this case the user is moderating the community with the same name. but what if a user starts a community with the name of another user? it would force kbin or mastodon (whichever gives preference to the community when there is a "name clash") to find the wrong "user".
attention admins this could require a new rule. one that says communities that are created by a user with the same name as another user will be deleted…or something like that.
Kbin ok, because they have mags and users anyway so it can be read fine. On my main account, only the comm shows up. On my calckey alt, only the user shows up lol.
I finally found the issue, and it turns out it was a kbin one: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/700 (putting the link here for reference, as one of the commenters there said they had to "scroll through 30 posts with magazine in the title", and I certainly don't want to do that if I ever forget the link again).
according to that person on kbin, calckey returns the magazine while mastodon returns the user. however, according to what you've found, for "name clashes" on lemmy, it's the other way around, with calckey getting the user and mastodon the community.
I think the admins have to really think about a new rule for how to deal with this so our usernames do not get "hijacked" by someone else starting a community with the same name.
speaking of hijacking, does anyone have an idea why https://wiki.fxmed.co.nz is pointing here? I think that domain has started showing up on google searches for monyet.cc.
