I never got much into the comics, anyone with experience know if these are a good place to start?

Digg plans on using Ai to moderate. in c/reddit@lemmy.world
[–] Corgana@startrek.website 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The most difficult parts of moderating on Reddit aren't the trolls or spammers or even the rule-breakers, it's identifying the accounts who intentionally walk the line of what's appropriate.

IMO only a human moderator can recognize when someone is being a complete asshole but "doing it politely", or trying to push an agenda or generally behaving inauthentically, because human moderators are (in theory) members of the community themselves and have an interest in that community being enjoyable to be a part of.

Humans are messy, and finding the right balance of mess to keep things interesting without making a place overwhelming to newcomers is a fine balance to strike that I just don't believe an AI can do on it's own.

With one of the largest instances closing shop (lemm.ee), should we be worried about the longevity and growth of the platform? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Exactly. Block and move on. Don't twist yourself into knots appeasing people, focus on keeping the users you want happy.

Not trying to victim blame or anything, but I find it hard to believe that someone operating a low-moderation instance would truly expect people who don't like moderation to stay away.

Don't get me wrong I agree with your sentiment and dislike that behavior, but what I'm saying is that asking or expecting users not to go on witch hunts or to behave in a certain way is a fool's errand that will always lead to burnout. A more sustainable approach for admins and mods is creating space for what they want to host and not trying to control what they don't.

I know it sounds insane but I swear to god BlueSky has astroturfing accounts on Lemmy. Every conversation (including yours here) about BlueSky is met with countless Sealions either saying it "will be federated soon" or asking "Why does federation matter?"

Bored. Give me a good "Living room PC" distro in c/linux@lemmy.ml

This is very cool! Thanks for sharing.

I think this is a good incentive for Journalists to be more active on the fediverse.

Possible to have different desktop folders for different workspaces? (startrek.website)
 

I am a "messy desk" person and like to have a big open visual space for all the pseudo-temporary files belonging to whatever project I'm working on at a given time. It would be nice to have a workspace specifically dedicated for "work" and still be able to create a fresh one when needed, without having to "put all the work stuff away" first. I've found GNOME extensions that allow different wallpapers, which is great, but I would love to have an actual separate desktop, not just windows.

Bonus points if I could change the dock applications and GTK theme too.

Running Ubuntu 22.04, btw.

Sonarr-style auto-downloader for YouTube? (startrek.website)
 

I'm trying to be more mindful about my YouTube consumption, there are a lot of quality channels out there, but sticking to "subscriptions" is difficult when the YouTube app on my TV has so much distracting recommended content and shorts thrown at you, so I'd like to have a way to auto-download the content from specific channels to play later via Plex. I actually have YT Premium but plan on putting the money into the Patreons of my most-watched creators instead.

Features I'm looking for:

  • Automated downloading of new videos from specific channels
  • Ability to ignore/skip shorts
  • SponsorBlock if possible
  • Vimeo (and others) integration would be a huge plus too.
  • A way to easily add videos to a download queue manually (browser extension or something) for when I come across an interesting video in the wild" by someone I'm not subscribed to/don't want to subscribe to.

Things I've looked into:

  • TubeSync - returns 500 errors anytime it's indexing, which it does every day, meaning setup is very tedious. It's also frustrating to configure for every single channel independently, but (ostensibly) does what I'm looking for? I think?
  • TubeArchivist - Try as I might I just cannot get this up and running on CasaOS/Docker. Seems nice, but also looks like overkill for my use case.
  • YoutubeDL-Material - Struggling to get this installed too, but it also doesn't seem to have additional features like SponsorBlock.

Anything I'm missing or are these basically the main options for now? Would love something as simple as Sonarr.

USB drive for safe long term offsite backup with RPi? (startrek.website)
 

My goal is to create an simple offsite backup of my CasaOS setup using a RasPi 3b+ with external USB drive at a friend's house. Are there any recommended methods for doing this?

Also: what should I look for in an external hard drive as far as reliability goes for something that will essentially always be on? I'm not well versed in all the WD blue, red, etc. Does it matter?
