I don’t let the cats on the kitchen table if I’m there, since I don’t want the cats eating my food… Especially since there is no guarantee that whatever I’m eating is safe for a cat to eat. And also, our cats are very very fluffy, which means they shed fur everywhere. I don’t want cat fur in my food. I don’t care if cats go on the other tables, but I take them off the kitchen table whenever try to get onto it.

That being said, we absolutely allow the cats in our beds. It is so nice laying down next to a fluffy little animal that trusts you. I don’t know why anyone would want to miss out on that.

I can see only one paw on the photo, so everything is fine

Which ones? (Sincere question, as I just use Vim for everything.)

But why? What’s wrong with the current UI? Asides from the mild annoyance of having to click on “show context” every time I follow a comment link, the UI works well for me. Certainly much better than Reddit’s new design.

Did you see the option to choose a theme in your settings? Though, the problem is that some of them do not work well, and also it would be good to have more options…

Does Lemmy not already support inline GIFs? It would be nice to be able to post short GIFs or MP4s instead of a picture when making a post… But I understand the storage space concerns… Maybe a strict size limit on the GIFs and MP4s?

Cats. I mostly have abandoned R*ddit, but I still have to go to there for the cat pics… But I’m not sure how viable such a community would be on Lemmy, considering that most Lemmings seem to be very concerned about their privacy (and thus not post pictures of their cat), and taking pictures of other peoples’ cats from the internet seems just wrong…

Oh, and I’d like !twosentencehorror@lemmy.ml to be more active, but I’m not even nearly creative enough to contribute to that myself.

ED IS THE TRUE PATH TO NIRVANA! ED HAS BEEN THE CHOICE OF EDUCATED AND IGNORANT ALIKE FOR CENTURIES! ED WILL NOT CORRUPT YOUR PRECIOUS BODILY FLUIDS!! ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR! ED MAKES THE SUN SHINE AND THE BIRDS SING AND THE GRASS GREEN!!

I didn’t know that’s a Gentoo mantra! As a Gentoo user, you won’t believe how often I broke the system due to my own stupidity… But at least I now know not to repeat those particular mistakes. :D

To anyone trying to practice this, can recommend this page: https://cdecl.org/

If you want to turn it off, go to about:config and toggle browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSponsored and browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.showSponsoredTopSites to false (I’m not sure which one does it, but if you don’t want sponsorships, I assume you don’t want either).

I’m also unhappy about it being on by default… Unfortunately, this is probably the fault of the state of the internet, how modern browser development requires to implement unreasonably many functions, making it impossible to anyone except a corporation like Mozilla — who wants to profit off it. If there was a better alternative, I would switch in an instant, but all the other browsers that have all the functionality I need are Chromium in disguise.

The one on the right of the picture reminds me of a frog… They’re really cute.

So pathetic, LMAO. (Also, why mark this as NSFW?)

You need to manually set it up again

The instance admin needs to set it up, right? Tagging @muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml, as this seems quite important of an issue to address. Wouldn’t want the troll raids to happen again if all these instances are accidentally unblocked now.

duodecimal / dozenal seems to have a larger following.

I’m intrigued about the following of duodecimal. Can you tell me more? At least among programmers, hexadecimal is much more widely used.

Now I’m curious: what do you want to change in your swap file that requires so many commands?

Now modifying swap partitions, that’s way harder, you definitely want to be at the top of your mental capacity when dealing with partitions stuff…

In that case, I think you have to use a different approach, and rather than iterate over all the numbers and filter out the ones that aren’t multiples of 3, you can iterate over the multiples of 3 and append every number you iterate over to the array. (Which is what snek_boi’s answer suggests.)

multiples_of_3 = []
for value in range(3,31,3):
    multiples_of_3.append(value)

print(multiples_of_3)

Your problem is this statement:

number = value % 3 == 0

It gets evaluated in this order:

number = (value % 3 == 0)

So, first value % 3 == 0 gets evaluated to True or False, and then that gets assigned to the variable number.

If you only want to append numbers that are multiples of 3, you would need an if-statement, like this:

multiples_of_3 = []
for value in range(3, 31):
    if value % 3 == 0:
        multiples_of_3.append(value)

print(multiples_of_3)

The compose key isn’t a key that you might have on your keyboard, it’s achieved by binding an existing key to be the compose key instead of its usual functionality.

E.g. I never use Caps Lock, so I have bound it to be the compose key, by creating the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-keyboard.conf with the following content:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "keyboard-all"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    Option "XkbOptions" "compose:caps"
    MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection

If you use a desktop environment like GNOME, there’s no need to edit config files like this, you can also do it graphically via the Gnome Tweaks application, see here for instructions: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/tips-specialchars.html.en#compose

Tabloid headlines, can’t choose one coherent narrative LMAO

(For clarification, I posted it because I found the contradiction amusing, not because I believe the headlines. This is the memes community, after all.)

For real, I’ve seen this same style many times and it’s incredibly frustrating when I’m trying to find some actual information on the website.

If they were truly enthusiastic about human rights and democracy, first of all they need to stop violating human rights across the world and overthrowing democratic governments. In their current state, they have no right to lecture or “encourage” anyone about “human rights frameworks”.
