To head off potential misunderstandings. The “disabling it permanently” in the post meant something like somehow replacing the function with a noop so even if it gets reactivated, it wouldn’t do anything anymore.

And by “deactivating Adaptive Brightness” I didn’t mean just manually changing brightness and then being annoyed when it adapts again. I mean going into the Settings and disabling it, but somehow it gets reenabled randomly.

Nope. But my problem isn’t that disabling it again is too bothersome. It’s that even if I go into Settings->Display and turn off Adaptive Brightness, it turns on again without asking on its own randomly while I’m using my phone.

Anyway

Is there a known downside to this mutation? Like increased risk of autoimmune disorders?

Yeah, I’ve heard of this scenario basically the first time I heard about climate change period, and that was before 2004.

Apparently Elon has a thing for the letter X. SpaceX, naming his son “X Æ A-12”, and now renaming Twitter.

That’s giving him way too much credit. More like an Austin Powers villain, and even that is questionable.

As far as I can tell, this would subscribe you to a user with the username “fediverse”. I’ve already seen a user and a community both named “cat” on the same instance, so that could be a problem if calckey doesn’t differentiate between @fediverse@kbin.social and fediverse@kbin.social.

That actually makes sense.

The irony is strong in this one. 😂

I hadn’t bookmarked a story in a LONG time, especially once I’ve read through from start to finish.

On my end it’s just plain text. Maybe a kglitch/kbin difference?

If you actually wanted to tag the person, you need to include the instance they’re on. In your case I’d have to write @thingsiplay@kbin.social

I had never even heard of it, what made it special?

Also: How does moderation work in this context? Does a post/comment that gets removed by moderation in one community get removed in the others as well? If moderation can edit titles or text, does that carry over to the other communities?

The issue is that ActivityPub, the protocol used for federation, wasn’t designed with reddit-likes in mind. Upvotes are repurposed Mastodon "favourite"s, and boosts are Mastodon’s equivalent of “retweets”, but downvotes are brand new with the appearance of lemmy/kbin. One could extend ActivityPub to have a new thing for downvotes, but non-lemmy/kbin instances like mastodon servers wouldn’t have any use for them.

Also, a not insignificant number of lemmy instances don’t have downvotes as a deliberate choice.

Could this be why beehaw.org seems to be fully down? Screenshot of browser saying connection timed out while trying to access beehaw.org

Is salting password hashes so unknown that neither the lemmy devs nor the kbin dev(s?) have implemented it?
