Otter@lemmy.caOPMtoLemmy.ca's Main Community@lemmy.ca•RESULTS: Fedecan 2025 Instance CensusEnglish1·4 hours agoThat could be cool! One caveat is that the census is open to users from anywhere in the world, and so it might be harder to visualize those differences in currency, income, and spending power. If we do add that question, maybe we would need to split it up by region or compare it with another factor in a scatterplot
Otter@lemmy.caMto Canada@lemmy.ca•EV giant BYD accused of forced labour violations at European factory3·4 hours agoHi @HikingVet@lemmy.ca, I’m going to look into the vote manipulation reports from our end. Is this the most up to date list of the accounts to look into?
Wow the front is very clean, I bet it feels nice to use those buttons/sliders
Otter@lemmy.cato linuxmemes@lemmy.world•When texlive is updated… (openSUSE TW, 2029 updated packages)15·11 hours agoI switched from LaTeX to Typst this year, and while I didn’t do it for this reason, it’s a nice side benefit
You could cross post this to !beebutts@lemmy.world 😄
Great photo!

We’ll look into it. We’ve made some fixes these past few days, and that might be the cause. I’ll include some relevant posts for anyone else that is looking into this from other instances.

This is also a great way to dox yourself. With a number of platforms that do this, opening the link will greet some users with “see what else USERNAME is doing”
So if you share a reddit post with a family member, they might learn your Reddit username. Likewise if you share a tiktok or instagram post on reddit, then people might see your real name.
Sharing from the app will create a different URL, where you can’t just snip off the end to clean it up. You have to resolve it first
Otter@lemmy.cato Opensource@programming.dev•Waterfox to integrate Brave adblock engine, with search ads enabled by default41·4 days agoThe blocker runs in the main browser process rather than as a web extension, which means it isn’t subject to the limitations that extension based blockers like uBlock Origin face.
Waterfox is a fork of Firefox though, why would it face the limitations that chrome has?
allowed to refuse these orders
In practice this rarely happens because of how difficult and uncertain the process is. Especially for those at lower levels
This video has some historical examples

The video isn’t loading for me, but from context, is it like surgeon simulator but for home repairs
Otter@lemmy.cato Fediverse@lemmy.world•PieFed gets /r/random, like reddit used to haveEnglish8·5 days agoIt will redirect you to a random community, so it wouldn’t make much sense to subscribe to it. The apps will likely add a button or menu somewhere for you to use it
Otter@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•ICC prosecutor who issued arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu facing disciplinary proceedingsEnglish2·6 days agoWell said
I feel like this is all the more reason why these prosecution teams need to be spread over several people
I’m curious how this might work, or at least be different from what they currently do. You would still need someone in charge to lead the project, and so any controversies with that person can still cause issues.
Otter@lemmy.cato Privacy@programming.dev•EU Commission bans top officials from using Signal groups8·6 days ago*for internal communication
The EU Commission is cracking down harder on digital espionage. It has instructed its highest-ranking officials to immediately dissolve a central Signal group for internal communication. According to Politico, department heads and their deputies are primarily affected by this measure. The order stems from fears that the chat group may have become the target of targeted cyberattacks.
I assume it is to prevent this mess

It was a full replacement for me, but I was only using it for personal use.
If you need a unique and specific package, you might have trouble finding it since the LaTeX ecosystem has been around for decades longer. The other drawback would be collaboration and interacting with journals, where the people that grew up with LaTeX might be resistant to changing to something new. I’m not personally in the research side now, so I can’t comment on it much further. I would assume that adoption also varies by the field of research.
