There was something about the shape and color of the old wings that always made me thing there was an alert dot, like they didn’t fit in. I really like the hexagon background, colors, and wings, in the new logo.

But I think the shape of the bee itself could be improved; I’d round bottom instead of having a stinger point. And if the thing on the top is a crown I think it should be a different color, otherwise I just have no idea what that thing on top is, maybe I just don’t know enough about bee anatomy?

Thanks for the update and hope you have less trouble in the future! Don’t worry about the downtime I really appreciate that here it’s serving a clear purpose unlike Twitter lol

You should make another prediction now for what social networks will be like in another 7 years

I spent a lot of time in hospitals and cute animals were my favorite!

Do you think Tabletop would be the right place to discuss Dimension 20 or other actual-play content or would that be better categorized in something like entertainment?

Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions I’ll check them out!

That reminds me, one of my favorite sushi rolls to make is cucumber and sauerkraut. My wife thought it was really strange when she saw me making them, I don’t know why since other pickled veggies are common in vegetable rolls, but when I finally convinced her to try one she really liked it as well.

I’d really like Entertainment to have subcommunities for Movies, TV, and Streaming.

I appreciate the transparency especially the link to sh.itjust.works’s update. As a newcomer, one thing that confuses me about the fediverse is how communities with different moderation policies can be federated together. My impression now is that a comment has to be moderated separately by each instance in which it appears, so either a larger number of moderators or more advanced moderation tools would be required compared to a similarly sized community in a centralized network. Hopefully you continue to have productive conversations with the other instances and these issues are eventually able to be resolved.

Pardon my confusion since I’m new to the fediverse as well, but isn’t every Lemmy instance like the super instance you are describing? You can access any community on any instance from any other; there are commentors in this thread from beehaw.org, lemmy.world, lemmy.sdf.org, programming.dev, and many others.

Bios can be difficult because some of the settings are named differently if you have an amd or intel cpu. Additionally the interface and where the settings are located seems to be dependent on the motherboard manufacturer.

But in general the important things that are required to install windows 11 are uefi boot and the tpm being enabled, and these will almost certainly be set to the correct values by default.

For gaming performance resizable bar/smart access memory improves gpu performance, and xmp/expo improves ram performance, these is a decent chance these will not be enable in the bios by default.

For programming, I also wanted to use the windows subsystem for linux, and I had to go to my bios and enable cpu virtualization for that. Not sure what other workflows might rely on virtualization.

I’ll also just mention that at one point I had some instability related to restarting. If I tried to restart it would post but fail to boot into windows, but doing shut-down and then turning the computer on again worked fine. And I think I resolved that by disabling fast-boot in the bios. Note that I wouldn’t expect you to get that restart issue, I think it was related to me being on the insider-preview build of windows at the time. But fast-boot-off is something I made a note of as a good troubleshooting step.

It’s difficult to know what advice might be helpful for you without more context, but the one mistake I made with my last PC build was choosing a small form factor case. I thought it looked really clean not to have all that wasted space inside the case, but it makes any system changes much more arduous trying to squeeze my hands into tight spots.

Also when I needed to upgrade my gpu a few months ago and filtered to ones that would fit in the case there was literally only 1 option, it wasn’t my first choice but it was close enough I went with it instead of dealing with the hassle of buying a new case and rebuilding everything. I know for sure I will need a new case the next time I need a new gpu though.

The other thing I’ll mention is to make sure all your bios settings are configured correctly: resizable bar, XMP, etc.

That was a fascinating writeup, and those interjections of dialog were great! Never used elasticsearch, but I can definitely empathize with work grinding to a halt because a library has incomplete or outdated documentation. Missing object structure for a function’s parameter was a recent one for me as well.

It’s so bad I no longer even try looking for an official doc before going to chatgpt. Way more often than not it gives an explanation and sample implementation faster than searching for existing resources, and it’s also so nice to just be able to ask a follow-up question and immediately get an answer.
