They’re talking about these, hence not just referring to vapes. They do make the distinction in the article.

There’s a difference between a vape and the type of contraption they’re talking about. The ones where you stick a cigarette in the end and suck it and it doesn’t burn, but rather just heats the tobacco.

It reads like someone who is trying to be clear. Maybe you can say overly so and accuse them of padding words, but it doesn’t read like an AI article.

Glad you’re sorted

It’s finally here. Thank you!

Have you changed your DPI or are you using a Firefox fork?

Now that I think of it, yours shows “Add-ons” that was changed a while back to “Extensions” please update and then report back.

Do you know why it took me so long to reply to you? Because I wanted to give your effort what it deserves. You come across as a great person, but at the same time there’s that red flag where you say your interest in waining.

General purpose instances are an inordinate amount of work, but that’s what you want and you literally have the instance that makes it feasible. When Lemmy.ca started it was tiny, but it grew and now it’s huge. Same with feddit.uk, there’s others too.

Now here’s the thing, West Virginia to you may seem boring, but to me, it’s interesting on the merit of you and how you conduct yourself. So if there’s an instance where good people post about the general things that interest them, who wouldn’t want to see that as a success. Use that as your lighthouse.

Also get rid of Tesseract. It’s dark and feels claustrophobic. The only people that like dark websites are the people that know how to switch a website to dark mode.

Scroll to the bottom and click “Find More Extensions”

But why don’t you lean into the West Virginia thing in the same way that lemmy.ca does the Canadian thing?

I wish I could talk to people about microcontrollers, electronics and whatever here. But it’s not a lot of people here who are interested, so I can’t get many discussions going.

This reminds me of the SBC communities. For a long time it was just one person posting into a void and then more joined in and then it just kinda died because no one was driving it. But my point is, it will grow, it takes time, effort and dedication, but the niche communities will eventually flourish.

what’s needed is not to keep ‘the bad’ people outside of ‘our’ little paradise. It’s to make sure Lemmy can’t ever be hijacked or taken hostage by anyone or any group of persons and be transformed into something we would not like and we could not transform back.

Definitely this! There’s a reason greenhouse flowers aren’t as resilient as wild flowers.

Thank you for this. The thread and subsequent insight is invaluable. I’m getting the feeling that it’s the niche/topic-specific instances that have the easiest and subsequently beat time.

Could you get the extra functionality you’re after from addy.io?

ARM life!

I would love one of these for the UK

The number is the bit I want to capture.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I was trying to find a type of some sort.

The app offers this https://github.com/gedoor/legado/blob/master/app/src/main/assets/web/help/md/regexHelp.md Which I hope you find fruitful as an indication.

What do you use to apply your regex?

An ePub Reader called Legado

Is it decimal? One digit or multiple digits? Natural, rational?

In the screenshot above, you can see it differs. I feel like I’m not doing your kindness justice with my sparse information, sorry! 🥺

That’s alright, the good ones don’t store anything for them to go after.

This is really interesting. Ultimately quality will win out over price, so if they make high quality products, they’ll be around in five or ten years and dominating.

Migadu?
