They’re clickable, but they open up in a browser. To stay within your instance, you (a hypothetical Lemmy user) need an instance-agnostic link formatted like !community@[instance].

Specifically it’s the difference between everyone going to https://kbin.social/m/musicals vs people of all different instances being directed to https://[their.instance]/c/[email protected].

No problem. I like pretending to be a bot sometimes.

It’s not a good idea to put any sort of identity on your car since people don’t generally think nice things about the drivers they see on the road with them. One of my friends refuses to put a Jesus fish bumper sticker in case she cuts someone off or something and they get mad at God.

A frequently asked question?

Thought this was a finite state machine for a second…

As the Cypherpunk Manifesto says:

Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn’t want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn’t want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

… An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.

People can desire privacy for privacy’s sake. Wanting privacy doesn’t necessarily mean they’re criminals who need anonymity or secrecy to cover up illegal/immoral acts; it just means they’re human.

For an offline example, consider that you’re a cis girl in a women’s locker room. You know everyone knows you have certain body parts, and you have nothing to “hide” due to this, but you still don’t want to be stared at as you peel off your swimsuit.

Oh yeah, I meant generally. Isn’t it most common if not best practice to say for (i = 0; i < whatever; i++)?

I don’t know anything about the original post author, but product notation is the same as summation notation except that instead of adding each new term to the running total, you’re multiplying each new term. You don’t have to know programming to see from the code samples that the only difference in the code is += vs *= (well, maybe it would help to know that * means multiply; I honestly dont rember how common-knowledge that is).

My abstract math professor showed us that sometimes it’s useful to count natural numbers from 1 instead of 0, like in one problem we did concerning the relation Q on A = N × N defined by (m,n)Q(p,q) iff m/n = p/q. I don’t hate counting natural numbers from 1 anymore because of how commonly this sort of thing comes up in non-computer math contexts.

I see. A tragedy, but understandable. Hopefully the most important things have been saved via Wayback Machine or similar.

The biggest difference (other than the existence of infinity) is that the upper limit is inclusive in summation notation and exclusive in for loops. Threw me for a loop (hah) for a while.

I thought they only deleted chat content, not public posts.

(Human here pretending to be a bot making community links accessible to people on other instances. Hi!)

How could any forensics be performed to discern AI from non-AI? Would it be no more than counting the fingers?

No worries! We all have something to learn :)

Glad I could help!

No markdown. I just typed !community@instance.

This link should work for users not on lemmy.world:

[email protected]

The provided links all opened up lemmy.world/c/shit_roommates_say in a web browser because lemmy.world is not my home instance.

I see. Thanks for the response.

I guess this is a great reason to move to Telegram which just works, no reaction/reply confusion.

Genuine question: How is it annoying? Green, blue, and white/black are nice enough to look at, and I’m sure you can change the background/style (at least you can on Android).

This seems similar to the wild pursuit of novelty I find myself using as a strategy to shock myself out of less severe depressive episodes. Good times. Highly recommend taking a fencing class just for fun.

“backslash cap” :P
