I don’t really know which journals are good/bad beyond the big names ones, nature, plos, elsevier, etc.

You won’t be banned for posting journal links. The only time that would happen was if it happened continuously and had a pattern and multiple reports. I don’t think there has ever been a permanent ban here.

Id recommend looking up your topic in a big name journal just to play it safe. Better science, less misinformation.

I’d like to build/find a list of the best journals to add to the sidebar.

One must delete facebook and lawyer up before one can ascend to the realm of #4. Profit.

good idea. I’ll add these to an unacceptable source list in the sidebar. Most of the reports have come from posts like that so I think a majority of people would agree with limiting posts from them.

I completely agree.

I liked askhistorians, as I felt like the moderation added to the quality a lot, but /r/science never seemed to achieve that level of quality. Though when they did start with the heavy moderation/clear rules with tags (I think flair was a later addition) it was a marked improvement off what it was before.

I’m open to suggestions, and I’ll just leave the draft rules up for awhile to get feedback.

Project 2025?

grapes are food…

I get these are jokes but I really don’t find anything funny about it, it becomes a meme and then people start getting more creative and pushing it more and being more covert and people come up with other little japes then new Linux users get their shit destroyed and maybe important info gets lost or precious memories so they say Linux is a piece of shit and go back to windows.

It’s not even funny to start with so when it inevitably inspires people to be assholes and bullies that’s all we’ve achieved.

I believe the general consensus is that hooking a smart TV to the Internet is generally a bad idea.

I mean the Vero V seems to be a nice polished experience. It’s just a lot of work to setup a linux box and get it to work, the latter being the hard part. The wiimote and the flirc have some comments in reviews about being poor experiences, and I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap. I don’t mind paying a little bit extra for a finished solution, and it seems like a plus that the Vero is a community/libre project.

trying to get away from Google services / looking for a libre solution.

I would 100% do this (minus the pirating part) if there was a way to get a tv style remote for the box. That’s the biggest obstacle for me because I’ve never been able to find a PC/tv remote and non technical users will be using the TV.

I’d like just one piece of technology that doesn’t use my information to sell to the highest bidder.

fuck off mate, g’day

lol, top cat is standing up on two feet. Definitely can confirm the physics are plausible.

temporal displacement obviously

I think since Lemmy is still very low on content, so any restrictions should be light. Right now Lemmy is in the wild west phase, and it’ll probably be like that for awhile until there is more content.

A long list of rules and requirements worked great on a subreddit with a million people, but right now I think less rules is better for the time being, at least until there are multiple posts a day.

there is no such tool to tag a post as such, the mod tools are still very limited. It’s either remove or approve, and it’s hard to draw where that line should go sometimes.

They’re going to be just as bad as Apple, Google or Microsoft if they’re given the market share. Corporations care only about one thing.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
