Mainly I don’t like that the pie charts are hard to tell what is what. If there are 6 or 7 things and you have to tell which is which by colour, that’s a bit tricky. Labels on the sections would be better, but I haven’t worked out how to do that.
Maybe if I think a pie chart shows it best, I’ll also include the bar chart so it’s clearer.
I thought I’d better post an update about the Lemmy.nz census. I have been working on analysing the data and writing a post, but there’s probably still a while before I’ll be done. There’s quite a lot to get through.
Also, if anyone knows any good tools for generating graphs then let me know! I’m using LibreOffice Calc as an excuse to learn how to use it, and it’s graphs aren’t that great. I can break out Excel if I have to but to be fair Excel graphs aren’t much better.
Things might be different in 50 years if I have a robot body I reckon 90 won’t be so bad.
Nah, they put in a new steering system 3 weeks ago. Probably some screwed up during installation that caused the steering to lock.
Yes, definitely. Perhaps highlighted if it’s one of their first few posts or the account is new.
Beta is the wrong word, but there is quite a difference in stability between Fedora and Debian.
Yeah, it might be easy to install but you are also a beta tester of things that will be in more stable distros two years from now.
But with that said, I love Fedora, but with Gnome. I use Nobara for the gaming simplicity but with the vanilla Gnome spin. I’d recommend it to anyone, most Linux distros these days are pretty user friendly once installed.
I am convinced this is already happening. One example is the endless new accounts posting ibtimes links.
There are also propoganda websites posted regularly by new accounts (especially sowing disinformation about Russia’s war on Ukraine).
Basically be wary of anything posted where it’s their first post. Often they make accounts and don’t use them for months so they look older.
I also think astroturfing is happening but at lower rate than reddit.
Like you, I have no idea how we can counter this at scale.
Not sure about age 56 but by the time you get to 90, many people’s brains just aren’t what they used to be. If you’re a scammer, it doesn’t matter if 9/10 people see you coming, you just latch onto the 1/10 that can’t tell they are being scammed.
By 90 my grandmother had a Benjamin Button memory. She didn’t recognise the youngest grandkids, over time she couldn’t remember the oldest ones, and then her kids started fading from her memory starting with the youngest.
Even before that point, in her 80s (like most of these victims), if you walked up to her, said you’re a police officer and need her EFTPOS PIN to investigate fraud, she would have told you it.
You might be onto something. But also most scams originate from overseas, this guy was dumb enough to do it in NZ and apparently did something that led police to where there could be a foot chase.
Nice to hear of a scammer getting caught for once.
Oh I didn’t thing about access points. With something like ZigBee, the switches add to the network range. But for WiFi, each switch will need to be in range of an access point. We have pretty decent coverage but the benefit of using ZigBee is other devices can take advantage of the extended network.
Others have talked about Zwave, I’m not sure which camp they sit in.
Interestingly. I was a bit worried about adding dozens of new WiFi devices but it sounds like it’s not an issue so I will consider the WiFi switches after all.
Sweet, I was a bit wary of WiFi switches but maybe I’ll consider them after all
I was under the impression that WiFi could only handle so many devices connected. 20 years ago if you got more than 10 or 20 some would start getting kicked off. Maybe that was my short router. Is that never an issue with modern routers? Even adding hundreds?
How do WiFi switches do when you have a lot? Is it an issue to put in 50 WiFi switches, wouldn’t that overload the network?
It’s such a weird way to subsidise tax cuts. I guess it wasn’t free for long so they wanted to get it changed back before people thought if it as a new fee instead of an end to a short period of free prescriptions.
Someone rushing them? Or just a misunderstanding of the physics of the situation. It’s probably a good argument for why you need to teach people the reason for procedures, instead of only telling them the procedure.
I dunno. I feel something like this works better as a pie chart.
