There was something about the shape and color of the old wings that always made me thing there was an alert dot, like they didn't fit in. I really like the hexagon background, colors, and wings, in the new logo.

But I think the shape of the bee itself could be improved; I'd round bottom instead of having a stinger point. And if the thing on the top is a crown I think it should be a different color, otherwise I just have no idea what that thing on top is, maybe I just don't know enough about bee anatomy?

You should make another prediction now for what social networks will be like in another 7 years

Do you think Tabletop would be the right place to discuss Dimension 20 or other actual-play content or would that be better categorized in something like entertainment?

Wrong post loads (imgur.com)

I submitted a similar bug report previously where the wrong post context can sometimes load when clicking the link to respond to a specific comment. A /comment/... url.

Now I am also sometimes getting the wrong post title and body simply navigating to posts themselves from the main feed. Notice how in my screenshots both pages have the same url https://beehaw.org/post/721194 and comments, but one has the incorrect title and body.

I think this is a very important issue to resolve in case a NSFW post is mistakenly loaded for someone who does not wish to see NSFW content.

Great find! Best I've done was find a perfectly good table next to the dumpster lol

I have a wheat allergy so I eat a lot of rice. I wanted the best rice cooker and got one from Zojirushi that uses a microcontroller with fuzzy logic to sense and compensate for if there is slightly too much or too little water. It does take noticeably longer for it to cook the rice, but it comes out perfect every time. It also has different modes for white rice, brown rice, semibrown rice, and rice porridge. The white rice setting is also perfect for quinoa, although for quinoa the water ratio is 1:2 instead of following the marked lines on the pot.

For rice porridge: I'll season with garlic salt and ginger, and cook it with onion and black mushroom. Serve with lime and jalopeno.

For quinoa: I like to substitute 25% of the quinoa with millet, and cook it with Consommé, golden flax seed, and lemon.

For brown rice: diced or shredded carrot works really well since the brown rice cooks for longer. I'll usually season with garlic salt, ginger, cumin, and curry powder.

For white rice: it normally has to be plain to add to something else like curry or a stir-fry, but my favorite white rice dish is cooking it with lots of bok choi, season with salt, fresh ginger, white pepper, sesame oil.

I'd really like Entertainment to have subcommunities for Movies, TV, and Streaming.

I appreciate the transparency especially the link to sh.itjust.works's update. As a newcomer, one thing that confuses me about the fediverse is how communities with different moderation policies can be federated together. My impression now is that a comment has to be moderated separately by each instance in which it appears, so either a larger number of moderators or more advanced moderation tools would be required compared to a similarly sized community in a centralized network. Hopefully you continue to have productive conversations with the other instances and these issues are eventually able to be resolved.

Pardon my confusion since I'm new to the fediverse as well, but isn't every Lemmy instance like the super instance you are describing? You can access any community on any instance from any other; there are commentors in this thread from beehaw.org, lemmy.world, lemmy.sdf.org, programming.dev, and many others.

Not sure if this is related to the servers getting hammered by all the new traffic, but I noticed when I look at a reply in my inbox and click the star to see the context for the comment, the post that is shown above the comment is totally random. It is not the post in which that comment was made, and the context that is shown changes each time.

Hopefully I did a decent enough job explaining the issue, or at the very least others will be able to replicate it.

Bios can be difficult because some of the settings are named differently if you have an amd or intel cpu. Additionally the interface and where the settings are located seems to be dependent on the motherboard manufacturer.

But in general the important things that are required to install windows 11 are uefi boot and the tpm being enabled, and these will almost certainly be set to the correct values by default.

For gaming performance resizable bar/smart access memory improves gpu performance, and xmp/expo improves ram performance, these is a decent chance these will not be enable in the bios by default.

For programming, I also wanted to use the windows subsystem for linux, and I had to go to my bios and enable cpu virtualization for that. Not sure what other workflows might rely on virtualization.

I'll also just mention that at one point I had some instability related to restarting. If I tried to restart it would post but fail to boot into windows, but doing shut-down and then turning the computer on again worked fine. And I think I resolved that by disabling fast-boot in the bios. Note that I wouldn't expect you to get that restart issue, I think it was related to me being on the insider-preview build of windows at the time. But fast-boot-off is something I made a note of as a good troubleshooting step.

That was a fascinating writeup, and those interjections of dialog were great! Never used elasticsearch, but I can definitely empathize with work grinding to a halt because a library has incomplete or outdated documentation. Missing object structure for a function's parameter was a recent one for me as well.

It's so bad I no longer even try looking for an official doc before going to chatgpt. Way more often than not it gives an explanation and sample implementation faster than searching for existing resources, and it's also so nice to just be able to ask a follow-up question and immediately get an answer.
