- Comment on Pandering to conservative Americans 1 month ago:
I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a “Designed in U.S.A.” claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.
This bullshit is not from the well-known Chinese radio maker Baofeng (baofengradio.com) but rather from a US company called “BTech” which has the deceptive URL BaoFengTech.com.

- Comment on Terrible liquid coils 1 month ago:
looking closer I see the earliest archive.org snapshot of this URL (from Feb 27, 2020, the day it was published) also says 1857 so it seems like the transposition to 1847 must have happened somewhere else - and yet the attribution to SciAm (external to the screenshot) was somehow preserved. @nymnympseudonym@lemmy.world can you shed any light on this mystery? where did you obtain this image (and know to attribute it to SciAm)?
- Comment on Terrible liquid coils 1 month ago:
apparently in 1857 “I have been informed by a European acquaintance” was sufficient sourcing for something to be published in Scientific American :)
somewhat relatedly, it’s 2025 now so you can actually link to a thing instead of just posting a screenshot of it: scientificamerican.com/…/that-giant-sucking-sound…
i wonder why this screenshot (and OP’s text which includes the fact that this comes from scientific american, which is not included in the screenshot) both say 1847 while the text on the SciAm website says it’s actually from 1857 🤔

- Comment on Could I just create my own drive format? 1 month ago:
NTFS, fat32, exfat, could I theoretically create my own filesystem?
Yes. There are many different file systems and with a bit of work you can absolutely create your own. Making one that is reliable and performs well, and/or is something you can actually use for the disk that you boot from, is a lot of work and generally involves low-level kernel programming - not exactly a beginner’s programming project.
However, you can also more easily play with implementing filesystems in a high-level language using FUSE.
If so would my computer even be able to work with most files or connect to other devices?
Your computer can use many different filesystems at the same time. You can also store a filesystem in a file on another filesystem, rather than dedicating a partition of a physical disk to it. So, yes, you can use a filesystem of your own design at the same time you are using other storage devices formatted with more common filesystems.

oops, i read my test closer and realized it will never pass as-is due to being cribbed from another test that was using
ininstead ofassertEqual(and the expected string not containing the closing tags) but I trust it conveys what i mean to - Comment on Bird 2 months ago:
compare the rendering of the test output (which i also wrapped in backticks to tell the markdown rendering to render it as code) on lemmy vs on piefed.
Essentially, it is not possible to reliably identify the URLs in code (in a language that is not known to either PyFedi or its markdown parser), because they be adjacent to URL-valid characters which actually terminate the URL in whatever syntax is being used inside the code block. So, even though it is sometimes harmless to auto-linkify inside a code block, it is also often wrong and therefore should not be (and generally is not) done.
- Comment on Bird 2 months ago:
URL perfectly clickable from PieFed
PieFed W
that is not a W… i surrounded the URL with backticks, which means it should be treated as code and not made into a link.
cc: PyFedi developer @rimu@piefed.social
I had a glance at the source and don’t see a very quick fix, but I think the solution involves getting rid of the auto-linkification here and instead have that be done by the markdown library. This issue indicates that the markdown library PyFedi is using is capable of doing that.
Here is a test I wrote which I think should pass which does not currently :)

For some reason this post caused me to search to see if there are types of birdseed which are not suitable for ducks. From a few minutes of reading, I’m relatively sure now that at least all common types of birdseed are fine for them. But, along the way, I found this LLM slop
https://plantnative.org/can-ducks-eat-bird-seed.htm(URL rendered unclickable since it is spam) which strongly implies that ducks are not in fact birds:- “Yes, ducks do eat bird seed. Although bird seeds are specifically prepared to meet the nutrient demand of birds. But still, bird seed can be served as a snack to ducks in limited amounts.”
- “Bird seeds are loaded with nutrients and can be beneficial for ducks the way they are for birds.”

these two snails mated with each other instead, producing 170 right-coiled snails. One of the left-coiled snails later mated with Jeremy, producing 56 offspring, all of which also had right-coiling shells.
they also omitted this crucial detail:
Jeremy was named after the left-wing British Labour politician Jeremy Corbyn, on account of it being a “lefty” snail, but also due to Corbyn’s reported love of gardening.
