10 days after 3rd party reddit app shutdown, Lemmy's top 10 instances combine for a thriving userbase of 234,000 in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I'm guessing most of the Beehaws at least have duplicates since they cut themselves off.

Do you have the ability to request new books in your library so that that way you could get things you are into? There's also always shadow libraries.

Largest 100 Australian student loan debts revealed in c/australia@aussie.zone
[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You're probably right - the inflation rates were low for a long time so to get that high from indexation on a 100k loan would be pretty unlikely.

[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Probably medical degrees etc. However, if I were to do a masters in CS it would be 70k so my total debt would be up to something like 110k. Thus, if I do a masters it will be a cheap US-based one I can cashflow because that's just a stupid amount of debt.

It's weird that there isn't a US-specific Lemmy instance in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Yeah I assume the reason there isn't is because the general ones are US-centric by default and then everyone else has to have somewhere specific to go. But I guess if they want their own dedicated place too why not?

Just read reviews?

Woah you were busy

What did everyone read in June? in c/books@lemmy.ml
[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've read both but Animal Farm was for school so naturally I didn't like it. 1984 was great not just as an interesting read but to understand all of the cultural (and culture war) references to it.

Anyone have trouble getting into Oathbringer? (lemmy.world)
 

The WoK was a 5 star read for me, WoR a 3 star and now I'm struggling to get properly into Oathbringer. I think I'm on chapter 10. Anyone else have this problem? Does it get more interesting or am I just not a Sanderson person?

Asking non-Americans to pay in USD (lemmy.world)
 

Currently in Egypt and they just asked us to pay in USD cash for an added activity but, not being American, we don't have USD. We have the local currency and the ability to get that out at ATMs, but no way to access foreign currency. So annoying but they accepted local in the end.

X280 Won't turn on (lemmy.world)

Hi, my X280 just suddenly won't turn on. It was left on a bed alone so no physical damage. When plugged in the charging indicator is solid white after flashing white 3 times. I've tried turning it on with the battery out but plugged in. I've also tried draining the CMOS battery (unplugged CMOS and the battery and held the power button down for 10 seconds before plugging everything back in.)

I'm wondering now if it could be a problem with the power button? The laptop is dual booting Fedora 38 and Windows 11 if that helps and wasn't powered off but went into sleep/hibernation before this behaviour. Is it somehow stuck in sleep mode? I have had some issues with sleep to wake being slow/finicky before.

I have access to a screwdriver set and isopropyl alcohol. What would my next steps be?

Beehaw defederation means this is now the largest book sublemmy accessible (lemmy.world)

Beehaw has decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I believe it was already separated from lemmygrad. I think this makes this community the largest one accessible to the most instances whereas before Literature@beehaw.org was. I guess we'll have to make the most of it!

I'm thinking we should have a central post for all the book sublemmys so we can easily find them. The ones I'm aware of are: Lemmy:

Fediverse:

Sublemmys in other languages would be great to add here too! I'll keep adding more as I find them.

What do you think of r/books silence on the API changes? (lemmy.world)
 

Unlike many other large subreddits r/books has not made any statements about the API changes. I did try and post something about it but it ended up getting deleted. At 22.1 million users this would be a pretty significant addition to the protest.

Does anyone know why there hasn't been anything official?

How many of you are using Bookwyrm (federated alternative to Goodreads)? (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/42666

I recently discovered Bookwyrm and am really liking it. It's not quite as full-featured as The Storygraph or Goodreads but it covers all of the most important functionalities and it's federated which I appreciate. Something that it is missing Vs either The Storygraph or Goodreads at the moment is volume of reviews (ie. Volume of users.) However, your review won't get lost in the sea so much and I've found that it's been quite easy to find readers with similar interests.

Anyway, who here is using Bookwyrm? What's your account so we can all follow each other? (Mine is Unfreeze4257@books.theunseen)
