A bunny sits next to a plateful of key lime pie slices. The bunny is yellow, sort of lime-colored but more lemon.

As someone who loves chips/french fries, I'm afraid even I can't compete with this lmfao (ate so many chips and crisps one day I had like 6,000 mg of potassium but that was only one day, even then I felt like it was risky lol) 😭

The British media loves to publish negative stories about chavs. post your positive ones here! 👍

A bunny frantically vacuums their apartment, in anticipation of a gathering. There is also a trashbag by the door, and a mop and other cleaning products scattered around (ironically making the apartment messier.) In their haste, they start to vacuum over their cat, who reacts with surprise

At a little public pool, a bunny secretly lets the air out of another bunny's pool float, as the other bunny relaxes on top. The pool float is shaped like a weird seahorse, and other younger bunnies are playing around the poolside

Two bunny parents push strollers containing their respective bunny children, both still babies. One rambunctious bunny innocently lobs her rattle directly at the other bunny's stroller, to the embarassment of both parents. The other baby bunny is unaware of the incoming object

Bunnies shout over one another placing bids in an art auction, overseen by a bunny auctioneer. They are fighting over a banana taped to a wall, like the famous art piece, but possibly just want to eat it.

CF

The federation is not wholly decentralised, obviously, when giant centralised fiefdoms like Facebook “Threads”™ and Cloudflare hook in their technofeudal variety of oppressive infra and abuse their power.

Each post submission begins with finding a relevant venue for the content and it must be consistent with my sense of ethics. Cloudflare is automatically nixed because it’s inherently centralised in a walled garden (regardless of the user count for any given node). CF is a non-starter for an open, free, and fair society (fair implying power balance, equality, transparency, etc).

My script queries the catalog of communities for relevant venues. It still prints the Cloudflare walled garden because it’s useful to see what names match my regex queries, which sometimes helps form a better query. It’s the only thing #LemmyWorld is good for (a shit-ton of community names with redundant variations of the same subject matter). Those results are in red, tagged with a thundercloud (🌩 ), and printed first (because when they scroll off the terminal I don’t typically care to scroll up to see them).

non-CF

CF is not the only issue. Some non-CF nodes are centralized due to uncontrolled growth to disproportionately large sizes. I don’t cancel them hard-and-fast like CF nodes, but they get treated with low “last resort” favorability. They have the warning symbol (⚠) and are in yellow.

Is my math decent?

My script began by filtering on total user count. Then I realised dead or dormant users probably should not count because such users don’t really contribute to a node’s disproportionate power over a population. It’s active users that matter. But if the number of active users in a day are filtered on, that’s too dynamic for deciding where my post can live for a month or however long it is relevant. So I took the users_active_half_year count. Is that sensible?

What constitutes an “active” user, simply logging in, or commenting?

The line is drawn at 2 standard deviations above the average -- after tossing outliers. Nodes with less than 5 active users in ½ a year are likely 1-person nodes which do not influence the average. The average is around 320 active ½yr users per node. The standard deviation is ~702 users. My statistical competence is rusty for sure, but I’m a bit bothered by a standard deviation that’s more than double the mean. Seems like a variation so wild it should perhaps be disregarded. Nonetheless, I opted to flag nodes that exceed ~1724 users_active_half_year.

The pseudocode looks like this:

avg=$(sqlite3 "$db" 'select round(avg([counts.users_active_half_year])) from node_tbl where tags not like "%cloudflare%" and [counts.users_active_half_year] > 4')
variance=$(sqlite3 "$db" 'select avg(([counts.users_active_half_year] - subtbl.aua) * ([counts.users_active_half_year] - subtbl.aua)) as var from node_tbl, (select avg([counts.users_active_half_year]) as aua from node_tbl where tags not like "%cloudflare%" and [counts.users_active_half_year] > 4) as subtbl where tags not like "%cloudflare%" and [counts.users_active_half_year] > 4;')

sqlite3 "$db" "select case when baseurl in (select baseurl from node_tbl where [counts.users_active_half_year] > $avg+sqrt($variance)*2) then '$yellow⚠' else '$cyan' end||baseurl||'$reset',name from community_tbl where (name like '%${1}%' or desc like '%${1}%') and baseurl not in (select baseurl from node_tbl where tags like '%cloudflare%') order by baseurl,name"

Code is ugly because sqlite does not have a stdev builtin function.

My other thought is to cut slack for closed nodes because at least they are expected to shrink. To list the possible figures to filter on, this is a record for lemmy.ml (the biggest non-Cloudflare node):

Some communities missing from the Lemmyverse DB - why?

Anyone know why some slrpnk.net communities are in the Lemmyverse DB, and some are not? E.g. why is !nolawns@slrpnk.net missing, despite many others from the same node that are included?

More importantly, what’s the fix apart from crawling all the nodes (which would probably be unwelcome)? Is there another open DB apart from Lemmyverse? There is fediverse.space and fediverse.observer, but they don’t appear to be sharing their data.

A 19 year old man named Jed Sheridan was killed by a 20 year old "goth" who was part of this gang he called the "TSE Crew" that went around beating up "chavs". After this horrible incident the murderer boasted about it saying "don't worry, it was just another chav". There was a blog post about his death which had comments, many of them were nasty (source). Sheridan was just walking home with friends and the attack was completely unprovoked. details are graphic so just a warning for those going to read the article. going by many people's attitudes such as the ones on the blog I linked I suspect people are less bothered by a chav being killed in an unprovoked attack than if it were a different kind of person who is middleclass. regardless of how he looked or what his lifestyle was, his life mattered too. RIP Jed Sheridan 💔

I hadn't seen Steve for ages and was starting to worry about her, but she turned up yesterday for a couple of pieces of cake. We then chilled together for a while. It was so nice to see her again.

Saw this proper old school chav in the Chinese earlier this evening. he was even wearing a burberry pattern cap which I haven't seen in ages. Fit, mid 30s, grey tracksuit, nice neck tattoo. great big brown eyes as well. he was a cutie! 😭 Chinese wasn't that busy so he turned to me and started a convo. we talked for a while while waiting for our order and he kept flirting with me, talking about random stuff, our food, and said he doesn't like being single. I said "me neither" and he was like "you from here?" and I said yeah and he said "aw no.. I live up Manchester, I'm visiting" all disappointed and as he was going out he made a passing comment about my looks and he hopes I can find a "really good guy" while giving me a thumbs up. istg a running gag with me is I get into random encounters with (male) chavs and they either flirt with me in a sweet way or they help me with stuff even though I don't know them but as someone who likes them I ain't complaining lol

Two bunnies flee from a bunch of home fireworks going off at once. The fireworks are the old-fashioned rocket-shaped ones, and the bunnies purchased a crate of them to light out in the woods at night. The fireworks that have already gone off spiral erratically in all directions

Pinging @rikudou@lemmings.world

I have 3 posts scheduled to be posted daily using @dailypostlemmybot@lemmy.world: Job IDs 161, 162 and 164.

No issues so far, but today (July 3) the bot did not make its scheduled posts.

I checked the post details and it still says that the post is scheduled to be posted at 2025/7/3 7:30:00 (Japan time) but that time has gone. It's currently 2025/7/4 5:30:00 (Japan time). Next run is showing as scheduled for 2025/07/5.

The counters I set also did not update.

Two bunnies are riding kiddie rides, like you might see in a mall or amusement park. One is shaped like a red car, the other is like an old plane, and they are both rocking back and forth as the bunnies flop about. They also have fast food bags that they've set down beside the ride.
