What client are you using?

[…] Boost is totally screwing up the references display

Yeah, I’ve heard report of that bug in Boost before [1] [2].

Out of curiosity, what does it look like for you?

It’s not off-topic when the person in question is involved. […]

As stated in the title, the topic is concerning the AI bots that are spamming GitHub repos ^[1], not anything to do with nutomic. I personally encountered the bot in nutomic’s repo ^[2], so I simply used it as a generic example. Given this, your comment feels off-topic, imo.

Maybe a joke at the expense of StackOverflow. […]

Yeah, I figured that, but I don’t understand how it’s relevant to the topic of this post.

Kalcifer · 6 days ago

I’m not sure I understand the relevance of your comment. Could you explain?

Kalcifer · edit-2 6 days ago

[…] Who’s that […]?

I presume they are referring to @[email protected] ^[1]; nutomic is one of the main Lemmy developers ^[1.1].

Context? […] what does he have to do with this post?

If they are indeed referring to @[email protected], I presume they are mentioning nutomic because the example GitHub repository that I cited ^[3] is owned by nutomic ^[2]; that being said, specifically regarding their claim itself that nutomic is transphobic ^[4] and is a genocide denier ^[4], it is entirely off topic, imo.

I will make no comment on the veracity of the claim itself without evidence. I do not wish to speak for nutomic — I will let them speak for themself here should they wish.

[…] Solarpunk’s Pleasant Politics comm has an automod that bans and unbans based on recent karma ratios. […]

Do they have any documentation for that behavior? If so, could you link it?

Kalcifer · edit-2 11 days ago

Karma does not persist […]

I’m not sure what you mean; if I look at your account, for example, I can see all of your past vote scores ^[1].

From what I can tell, the math is sound.

Anecdotally, I have personally encountered a bug where my Linux system couldn’t handle the EDID from the monitor — so that particular model of monitor didn’t function with Linux despite it working fine on Windows.

I can’t exactly make out the tattoo in the image, and I can’t tell if your remark was tongue-in-cheek. Would you mind linking to a source for the tattoo that you are referring to?

Disgusting. At least, it seems that their (ie Fidesz-KDNP, Jobbik, and Our Homeland Movement MPs: Péter Balassa and Imre Ritter ^[1]) public support is dropping ^[2].

An interesting alternative that I’ve found (for when making English breakfast or something similar) is to steep the teabag in the milk first before adding the hot water. I find that it cuts down on the bitterness and makes a much smoother tea.
