Is being used on purpose or are there emojis that aren’t supported by Lemmy?

How’s the updated YarraByte going?
I added minor response parameters, which can only be called upon with the bots name and the hashtag for Beep, as responding on its own accord without being called just felt weird.
Daily Thread post body now updates at 5am with minor info about the days weather & the emoji vote. I looked for pollen info, but couldn’t find any free API for allergies, closest was via Google with an account and that doesn’t feel right for a Lemmy bot.

I got a 14d WoW subscription from Macca’s app, I might play it on my Steam Deck with the ConsolePort mod.

New daily thread script from scratch, fingers crossed should have the no response issue sorted, checking again every 5 minutes if unreachable and seeing if previous attempt made post.
Emoji vote is new, we’ll see how it goes.

My 3D printed Bazzite console. Image

My experience with Linux Mint & printers have been “It just works”.
Bazzite is cool & fun, I’m currently using it on my BC-250 3D printed console, but for my personal desktop & laptops I’ve grown to appreciate the reliability of Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition.
You don’t actually need a specific distro for better gaming performance, SteamOS 1.0 & 2.0 were Debian based like Ubuntu/Mint, so the Steam.deb installer you can download from the Steam website for me runs great including controller support.
I strongly recommend with whichever distro you use, to install AppManager for a specific app type called AppImage. AppImage’s are a great portable app format for things that shouldn’t really need to be installed outright.
Normally with portable AppImage’s, you would need to manually download and replace the file with each upgrade, but the AppManager can update all your AppImage’s like a normal package manager after you add the apps GitHub link.
ProtonUp-Qt is one such AppImage which is great for downloading & managing third-party Proton’'s such as GE-Proton. This third-party Proton is popular for older Windows games that have proprietary codecs that Steam can’t redistribute as a business without added costs, so normal Proton may not be able to play older game cutscenes.
AppImage’s are generally distribution-agnostic & work well with immutable OS’s like Bazzite.

Let us know about recurring donations, if we can see funding goals easily, we can decide how much we’d like to contribute to make sure running costs are met.
- Comment on "We're building an army:" Angry anti-renewable groups take to city streets ahead of state election 4 weeks ago:
As someone who grew up in a remote rural Victorian town, only coming to Melbourne as an adult, this to me is the strongest domestic indicator of what the current UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham recently announced regarding the 2016 UK Brexit Vote.
Growing up around and knowing varying types of personality traits from that region, consistently there was a greater understanding for the environment and how to manage it in order to benefit from it.
This was prevalent and consistent to those on farms and the many that rarely stepped foot on a farm. The inner town people weren’t much different from Melbourne suburbans, but most had a Greens leaning when it came specifically to environmental matters.
It was the more complicated social issues that were seen as a ‘city issue’, and a consensus that the Nationals were the only way to have a rural voting block, even if they aligned with what was strongly seen as a city party.
Personally I always felt that rural voters would be greater represented by a block of independents, rather than trading most of their votes to a city party for minimal concessions and the odd pork barreling, but that’s neither here nor there.
To see rural people, who exist and live in the very environment that they themselves often have a conscientious understanding of responsibility for, fall into emotional misinformation and manipulation, really brings home just how significant an issue of political manipulation farms are from outside each of our democracies.
We need to consider what political free speech means for Australians in Australia and how it relates to people from outside of Australian IP addresses, whilst avoiding the loss of the inherent right to privacy that is mutually necessary in a democracy.
Australians don’t have a right to free speech, but we do have the right to political free speech, I don’t see how people commenting or posting from an IP address outside of the Australian geolocation would fall under our right to that.
