In addition to the federation issues, make sure your language settings are correct. If you haven't included both your spoken languages and "Undetermined" in the language settings, then the UI will not display posts for the options you're missing

My localisation went weird after the last upgrade too. SDDM shows ?? as my locale now, instead of Australia

Yep, it was one of his posts referring to implementing his existing approach to AP that I was thinking off!

In Australia, pensions are government issued, but relatively low paying. Superannuation (similar to a 401k) is paid by your employer as a percentage of your pay each year, but generally managed by a dedicated superannuation company. Those companies can and have gone bust, taking their payees funds with them

I've lost too many people in my life to suicide, and it's a really hard topic for me to watch on screen.

So even though I've got no use for a hotline, just knowing that the show will center suicide as a theme is important to me being able to decide if/when to watch it.

If I was making my living off of my name, I wouldn't even know some random user with no followers from a troll domain exists.

Whatever the reason celebs don't take to the fediverse, this isn't it...

That's why she hosts her own domain, instead of sending half a million followers to some random fediverse instance.

Not much. Most of my listening is done via "random" streams or the radio at work.

So, in its current form, lemmy sends federation packets in serial form. It can send them to multiple instances in parallel, but the feed between any two given instances is serial.

And serial means that the second packet doesn't get sent until the first packet has been processed. Add in geographic latency, which is relevant at multiple steps of resolving any given AP packet, which adds to the per packet processing time, and now, lemmy.world is producing packets faster than it's possible for a geographically remote instance to process them, no matter what hardware they're running on.

The problem would be resolved with parallel sending, but that's not currently a thing that lemmy allows for, and apparently, is not trivial to implement either.

This one was shot with a Canon r50, but I no longer use it as my main camera.

Offline hours? Is that something that happens often enough to need a work around?

 

Nicolás Mihanovich, an abandoned cruise ship sits moored on the bank of Rio Iguazú, Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, at the apex of the borders between Argentina, Paraguay and Brasil.

It was originally designed as a luxury ferry between Argentina and Uruguay, but plans were made to turn it in to a floating Casino. The plans stalled, and now the ship sits, largely abandoned

I've been using flickr on and off for 20 years now, so my flickr time stream gives me a nice snapshot of how my photography has changed and improved over the years.

In theory, I've got all of my old photos available, but on flickr, the ones I posted are the ones I considered my best at the time. So my flickr timestream gives me an perspective on my photography that the 10's of thousands of photos in my home collection does not.

It's been really interesting going back through my old photos and seeing the change first hand...

I'm looking for someone that has an established history both on the threadiverse, and within this community. Ideally, you'll already have a lemmy.blahaj.zone account, but if you do not, you will need to create an alt here

The expression on that second birds face is meme worthy!

I'm not from Sydney, but I took this photo when I was there this weekend gone, and thought that I'd share it
