How crucial texting is to modern dating

I am 23 and I am currently in the dating scene. I’ve had no success and I’ve had the fourth person lose all interest in between setting up the date and the long wait between the date. It typically goes match on dating site, set up date, try to get to know each other over snap and then interest lost. I do tend to respond...

Mbin is a fork of /kbin, created by the community for the community. Because the development of kbin became to a halt.

No, he said Unix is not equal to Linux. xD

Mbin is born - Fork of kbin!!

In the past months development of Kbin slowly came to a halt, development was bottlenecked by a single maintainer. I have tried several times to start a discussion about the way of working and trying to address the problems and to come up with a plan to keep development doing and more importantly keep contributors happy!...

I only wanted to add the following, this is my personal opinion: Even if Kbin suddenly is also changing to C4 WoW, the damage is already done. My trust is gone. My planning is not to merge anymore personally.

Both could exists together.

Of course you can set whatever you want in your Docker compose file using this environment variable syntax. It's not limited to an environment nor setting a specific Docker image version

I didn't knew I could time-travel. Or it's a bug in either Lemmy or Mbin. Maybe some conversion missing with time-zones?

As a creator of the fork.. Yes I run it as well ;) https://mbin.melroy.org .. But there are many more already migrated towards the community focused fork, see: https://fedidb.org/software/mbin

Sure, the API is 100% compatible so why wouldn't Artemis support Mbin ;)

Of course there are more already! https://fedidb.org/software/mbin

Malicious Contributions: Abridged

Let this thread act as a table of contents for the software contributions found to be malicious or done in ill intent. With every story that you send in the comments, I will add a respective entry to the list in chronological order. Each entry in the chronology will show the date and the appropriate name, linking to your...

Is it a good contribution or a bad one? One likes your software, another will inevitably ruin it.

Yea, Canonical removed Ubuntu 23.10 due to this. Maybe at some mirrors you could still download this not so friendly version of Ubuntu. But by now the download link should work again and Canonical fixed the problem.

My take away is how can we prevent this from happening. A PR will be created from Weblate towards GitHub. I think there people can peer-review the translations before it's getting merged.

EDIT: The problem is you can't read all languages maybe. So translation PRs might require multiple approvals.

Yes, I created the Mbin fork. Expect this fork living forever, Kbin development WoW caused to stalled development. Mbin is community-focused. Despite I was the creator of the fork, various contributors do have owner rights on GitHub. It's build on trust and there will be no single maintainer. Development has been accelerated since. Due to Ernest inactivity and unresponsiveness in the past couple of months (year?), I didn't saw any other way then creating a fork.

Well.. Mbin is created now, the fork of Kbin. Which is community focused: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin

Custom CSS updates | dR Bulletin Board

Whenever you visit , you will see slight changes in the header. I moved instance's home link to the right to prevent any accidental exits. And there is now a solid icon just in case.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a reply.

@vintprox Unless.. the Twig template switches between different kind of HTML tags. We can maybe set it static to this mbin_Logo.svg for now eg via an additional ID/Class in CSS (but not on custom logos)?

melroy Admin ,
melroy avatar

@vintprox The user might only change the logo via the setting, without tinkering CSS stylesheets.

I didn't check the code, but we could set width attribute by default if Twig switches between default logo and user logo.

Media Preview | Kbin

A fun discovery today: you can expand embed on a thread with a multimedia link, it's one click away and doesn't get you away from . See this little photo-film icon right under the author? When you click it, the embed drops right under and you can:

  • watch the or video,
  • listen to music,
  • look at the full picture,
  • do a lot more without ever leaving Kbin (meaning there are more media websites that we're left to explore!).

Add links to @drbboard with your favorite music, video guides, art, and tell us your experience with this piece of media that you're sharing! Get distraction-free experience for the viewers and the authors.

@vintprox
You might want to increase the button in Mbin directly. Which might benefit everybody?

melroy Admin ,

@vintprox How fast the world can change, right? 😂

Ps. ps. I just noticed Mbin doesn't allow me to easily insert UTF emoticons.. The emoji above I manually needed to copy/paste..
