19.11 is definitely one of the best lemmy updates as it fixes moderation and allows vote checking.

Dave@lemmy.nz · 5 pts · 1y (3 replies)

I thought those things were there prior to 0.19.11?

Edit: Sorry, mods viewing votes is new in .11, previously only Admins could do that.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 1y

Vote checking in the default UI is new to .11, on previous versions mods had to use Tesseract

There's a new donation dialog box also included in this patch. The new features are pretty minor though.

Dave@lemmy.nz · 2 pts · 1y

I think it also has things like emailing a registrant when their application is approved/denied among other small things. But Admins viewing votes was some time ago I thought (feels like 6 months or a year ago). Functions for easily finding moderation history and some related stuff were more recent, from memory.

Edit: Oh sorry, vote viewing is new for mods! I missed that because it wasn't in the bullet-pointed list.

Me when I see the instance I joined a year ago and am barely involved with being praised.

rikudou@lemmings.world · 20 pts · 1y (7 replies)

I just joined the 0.9.11 gang today!

0.18.4 is old, wonder whether some federation issues are present because of that.

Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Last I checked, Beehaw wanted to switch platforms entirely, so tgey don't bother keeping up with Lemmy updates.

Kecessa@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y

That's what I heard at well, I'm surprised it's still pending though

KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y

Beehaw seems kind of big on intentionally being a kind of curated garden instance, so they may welcome a certain amount of federation breaking.

Sunshine@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 1y

Nice, Lemmings.world is keeping up with the times like Lemmy.ca šŸ˜

eRac@lemmings.world · 5 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Your people thank you for your service, oh glorious leader.

Sunshine@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 1y

rikudou@lemmings.world · 3 pts · 1y

Hmm, I might add this to the rules: always address the main admin as "glorious leader."

Thanks for the idea!

Everyone knows 9.5 is more than 9.11 except devs, apparently

db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 16 pts · 1y

That's standard semantic versioning. not mathematic decimal. In case it helps to understand this, the full version is 0.19.11 which is clearly not a valid mathematical number.

FooBarrington@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y (6 replies)

ChatGPT disagrees. I asked: "Hello there I have a question. Which is bigger: 9.5 or 9.11?"

9.11 is bigger than 9.5. The number 9.11 is greater because when you compare them as decimals, 9.11 is equivalent to 9.110, which is greater than 9.5.

stray@pawb.social · 4 pts · 1y (2 replies)

My ChatGPT says:

9.5 is bigger than 9.11.

This can be confusing because "9.11" might look like it's greater due to the extra digit, but it's not. Think of both numbers as decimals:

9.5 is the same as 9.50

9.11 stays as 9.11

Now compare: 9.50 > 9.11, just like 50 > 11 after the decimal point.

Let me know if you want a visual or a trick to remember this!

FooBarrington@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Were you logged in? I just used the landing page chat, without logging in.

stray@pawb.social · 2 pts · 1y

Yes. Maybe I have access to a better version since I've consented to having my data collected. I use the app, and I'm pretty sure my login is via Google and everything. (Privacy is important to have by default, but I like to opt in to things, mostly for fun. I understand this may be horrifying to many, and I apologize for my weird hobbies.)

It's like pi seeming like a big number when in reality, 3.15 is bigger than pi

TonyOstrich@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Who cares what it output?

FooBarrington@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

I thought it was funny that it made such a basic mistake, but I'll be sure to ask you before posting such things in the future.

DmMacniel@feddit.org · 1 pts · 1y

What? Only when you look at it as a number in its entirety. But it's actually version 9 and it's 5th / 11th iteration.

Demigodrick@lemmy.zip · 12 pts · 1y (2 replies)

@Sunshine@lemmy.ca thanks for cursing lemmy.zip 😭

RogueBanana@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 1y

I have faith in you, you can do it! :)

Sunshine@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y

Hopefully I didn't jinx the great instance šŸ¤ž

I mean, I know, it was the case when you posted that comment.

Actually reading that chain again, seems like I assumed you didn't know while you knew. Anyway šŸ˜„

@Antibiotix@jlai.lu @Banette@jlai.lu @anansi@jlai.lu @dhawos@jlai.lu @TheDude@jlai.lu @nume@lemmy.vg

Please consider updating your instances when you can.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Funnily enough you missed the top admin, @anansi@jlai.lu

Sunshine@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 1y

I missed the i at the end of their name šŸ˜…

anansi@jlai.lu · 4 pts · 1y (4 replies)

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'd like to see if instances breaks after updates or if new bugs are introduced because the QA of lemmy is abysmal chems

nutomic@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Lemmy has no QA, only testing in production ;)

anansi@jlai.lu · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Agile testing be like

Flax_vert@feddit.uk · 9 pts · 1y

We have a large group of testers; they're called "users"

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 1y

19.10 has been stable for a while now, LW is using it, so it should be good enough

AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y (4 replies)

Huh, is TheDude on jlai the same Dude as the SJW one?

Kecessa@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Could be, the SJW servers are in Quebec so he might speak French...

Sunshine@lemmy.ca · 0 pts · 1y (1 reply)

SJW is hosted in Montreal I believe.

Kecessa@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 1y

Which is in Quebec

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y

No, different Dudes

Sunshine@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 1y (5 replies)

@emperor@feddit.uk @flamingos@feddit.uk

Please let me know if this breaks the new rule. As I have no issues with the admins involved I just wish they would upgrade their software.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Seems okay to me, but maybe Beehaw users will have another perception

Sunshine@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 1y

At least it's new material. The admins are very good with encouraging their users to be kind.

AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y

glug glug

Emperor@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 1y

That's fine - you aren't having a go at the instance or it's users, and there are reasons for the way things are.

flamingos@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 1y

I thinks it's fine, it's not breaking the spirit of the rule.
